PHANTOM COTTON.
Wind Sales of Cotton Double
Tangible Stocks.
Crop Outlook Decidedly ImprOving-MOa-
ey Abundant and Cheap-srOn Products
strOngsr-Pig Iron DemOralized-
Better Demand for WOOlsnA.

NEW YoRK, August 1.-R. g. Dun Coos
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The weather hiss been extremely favorable
for growing crops excepting in limited dis
tricts where damage was done by the storms,
and the crop outlook is on the whole Gecid-
edIy improving. Money has been abundant
and cheap, and collections generally good
for the season, and there are no signs Of
threatened disturbance.
Finished products of iron and steel are
stronger and s. to s. per ton higher, but
greater Generalization is expected IN pig
IRON unless moro of the consuming works
start speedily. Bar and sheet iron are very
active and manufacturers of plate and struc-
tural iron have more orders than they can
well handle, but no improvement is seen in
rails.
In woolens there is a better demand, and
more activity Is seen in the purchases of wool,
while the cotton mills continue to do well.
Boot and shoe shops are running full OF bust
ness and the shipments exceed last years
every week.
Speculation has been seriously affected by
the prospects that the Hatch antl-option bill
will fail. Lard and coffee are higher and
corn Is of a cent higher for early delivery,
the supply being scarce. Wheat has fallen
3M cents, with sales of 15,0O0,000 bushels,
and oats = cent. Western receipts of wheat
are heavy. Receipts OF cotton arc light, and
exports are slightly more than last year. but
the sales of phantom stocks exceed the sales
of tangible ane visible cotton about 80 TO 1OO.
A syndicate IS said to have sold out all its old
copper and the price Is strong at III to L
cents, but lead is weak, with some sales at
cents. Money has been extremely easy at
IL per cent, and from nearly all parts come
reports that the markets are well supplied
American buyers of stocks are encouraged
by the improved prospects.
The business failures the past week num-
Ger SO, compared with 165 last week. For the
corresponding week of last year the figures
were 247

until Decem Der, the direct tax bill. against
which the hhbustering was then directed. A
similar plan was pursued in this case, and
the debate proceeded upon the resolution Of
fered by MIR. Mutchler, proposing to lay over
until December next, the vote on the propo-
sition to appropriate $4,000 900 in aid OF
the Worlds fair.
About 100 members were present with Mr..
Holman presiding. The resolution offered
by Mr.. Mutchler was, in substance, as fol-
lows: That there shall be a vote on the
Worlds fair bill, appropriating 5000, 900 in
after six hours debate, and that only three
amendments shall be ordered" This pro-
vision Is &c prevent continued flibusterinR

Cooperation With the Kansas State Board

August 1, 1892.
PRECIPITATION.
A deficiency occurs in the Republican and
Blue valleys and in the southeastern and ex-
IRENE eastern counties, being the greatest in
Cherokee and Labette. There is also great
deficiency in Ford, Gray, Garfield and
Hodgeman, and IN the central southern coun-
ties. Elsewhere it is generally above the
normal with the greatest excuses occurring
in Cove, where the total tall amounted to
Bio inches, and in the southwest part of
Lyon, where it amounted to 2.30 inches.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE
During the fore part of the week the tenn
perature was excessive over the whole state,
but on the 18th a cool wave occurred and the
week it has been below normal. AS a result
the temperature for the week has been about
the normal over the greater part of the state.
being slightly in excess in the western and
south central counties. There has been an
average amount of sunshine.
RESULTS.
The general effects of the past weeks
weather have been very satisfactory. The
harvest is completed in all but the northwest
ern counties; tame grasses are largely cut,
and the cutting of prairie hay Is about to
begin.
The yield of oats is better than anticipated
at harvest, ranging from twenty to forty
bushels.
The hot weather the fore part of the week
was very trying to the corn in some localities,
but the rains of the latter part afforded
timely relief and gave the crop new impe-
tus. Some fields are in the roasting ear in
the southern and central counties, and in the
north it Is tasseling.
Flax is being threshed in some localities,
yielding from eight to ten bushels per acre.
