evidently almost wholly confined to the
on days turn in prices. AS this class
OF traders watch pretty closely for what
other people are doing and proceed n
do likewise. the net effect in a days
business, or taking one day with an
other is not large.

New York. May 23.-Speculation in
cotton futures was inactive. The mar
ket opened quiet and steady with prices
unchanged to l point higher, after
which there was n slow Improvement of
n point or two on covering and some
buying for Wall street and English ac-
counts. The demand was met principal
~ by IN active Philadelphia concern
with large foreign connections. The
rank and file hesitated To take the short
side of the account, owing to the fact
that dispatches coming from the South
ern half of the cotton belt indicat ed
That the cotton crop was in Il more or
less critical condition owing 10 the pro-
tracted lack OF moisture.
Private reports from Louisiana. Mis-
sissinDi. Alabama and Florida were
particularly bad: .he ravages from in
sccts in many localities were said TO be
serious. The force of such reports. how
ever, was somewhat broken by i'm
proved accounts from the more North

whole were quite AS conflicting as they

EXPORT GRAIN RATES.
Further Testimony Heard by the In.
terstate-COmmerce Commission.

NEW YORK, May 16.-The Interstate
Commission investigation into
the differences existing between export and
domestic rates on grain and grain products
from the West to this port was continued
to-day. w. II. Joyce, freight traffic man
ager of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, said he believed competition alone
was responsible for the low export rates.
c. S. Wright, general traffic manager Of
the Baltimore & Ohio, testified that grain
and grain products had been carried at the
same rate for domestic use for many years.
The reason for the difference between the
rate for export and domestic grain, the wit
ness said. was due TO the competition be-
tween the lines running TO the north At
lantic Seaboard and the lines running TO
other parts for exports.
NJ. II. Davis. president OF the National
Association of the Winter Wheat Millers'
League, said the discrimination made by the
port flour was a great blow 10 the milling
interests OF the United States. The ex-
port of -four could be largely increased If
-four were carried at a rate as low as that
nation, IL continued, he said, would ruin
the milling interests in this country.
A. 5. Crane, general traffic manager of
the Fitchburg Railroad, was Of the opinion
that -four should be charged a higher rate
than grain for export, and that domestic
grain should be charged a higher rate than
export grain, because the latter was car
ried In large quantities. while the former
was handled in accordance with the wishes
OF the inland owners.
George b. Reeve, general traffic manager
of the Grand Trunk Railway system.
thought the rate on flour should be 50 per
cent. higher than on grain.
The committee adjourned to meet In Chi
cago June IL.
