Wheat and Corn Both Go Up
and Down.
Pork Market Appears to Be
Somewhat Stronger.
COTTON HAS GONE UP.
The Cotton Mills Are Enriched
as a Result.
COTTON HAS GONE UP.

New YORK, Sept 21.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s weekly review of trade says: In
spite of gold exports wheat advanced
for some days, in all nearly two cents,
mainly because a single speculator
bought, but on Friday fell about one
cent. Corn rose and fell in sympathy
with wheat, with as little reason.
Western wheat receipts for three
weeks of September have been 1e, 7ol.-
$50 bushels against 1e.491, 62g last
year, while Atlantic exports flour in
cluded) have been 3,941,693 bushels
against Z, 1921, 1886 last year.
Good reports of foreign crops, weak
ness Of hou- in Mime sofa and large
exports of -four from this country. all
work against rise in wheat, though
scarcity Of contract grades may help
Specula tive advance. Pork products
have been reasonably yielding, with
prospects of a large corn crop, but be-
fore the close had a stronger tone.
The cotton market, lifting and falling
4 fraction each day alternately, shows
no settled tendency. big stocks bal
aneing an undoubted but yet not
definite decrease in yield
The surprising increase in produc-
ton and advance in prices of iron seem
10 be bringing a natural check, as
prices have gone SO high as TO cause
some purchases from Europe, both Of
pig and finished products, and have
also caused a distinct shrinkage in
home demand. Pig bought at Md
dlesbOrO Tor America and foreign ore
ordered in large quantities to make
iron IN eastern furnaces, have de-
pressed Bessemer at Pittsbnrg TO
$3.50, though gray forge is higher, at
S13. 40. Lake ore and freights have adj
vanceds and the beginning of a strike
of the Connells7ille coke workers will
tend to prevent reduction in prices,
unless soon stopped by concession of
the IL per cent advance in wages de-
manded.
Leather has further advanced in
some qualities, though the rise of 81
per cent for the first half of the year
on sixteen qualities has been followed
by only , per cent rise since July Il
and this week a break has occurred of
cents in Union crop, HIDES are 8
per cent lower than July.
The cotton mills, which lad in
stocks OF cotton below cents, are en-
riched by the advance in material,
and enabled to make frequent adj
vances in goods, which are sust aimed.
The present demand is dull, but there
are no reports of s5oppa ge, and the
threatened strike at Fall Biver does
not come. The wooden manufacturer
is doing well in dress goods and
hosiery, but the demand fer mems
wOolens is much restricted, and few
mills have closed Sales of wool are
smaller than last year, and for three
weeks only Il, 133, 47o pounds, of which
7.7ls. $40 were foreign, against q, 572,-
400 pounds in 1892, of which 1914, 900
were foreign. Prices of foreign wool
are SO low that purchases for export
have been made. The failures this
week have been 213 in the United
States against 210 last year and 81 In
Canada against 4e last year.

Ex-Confederates Clad in Gray Garry the

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 21.-One
of the leading features of yesterdays
events was one that caused perhaps
more comment, more enthusiasm, and
which will make a lasting impression
upon those who saw it, was company
of Confederate veterans attired in heir
tattered old un forms of gray, carry
ing the stars and stripes. They formed
a part Ct the big parade, and as they
passed through the miles and miles of
streets they were rendered an ovation
that won1d have honored an Emperor.
Not one of those old war dogs was un-
der so, and yet they walked with a
firmness of step thatswould have done
justice to West Point cadets. And one
of them, the one next to the last color
bearer, carried an olive wreath, an
emblem of peace and love.
