WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Quiet and Easier-Stocks Dull
and weak-Wheat Strong.

The cotton market ruled only moderate
ly active, yet fluctuations were fair
prices were weak, early August falling
nearly 20 points, to S.18c on Tuesday. BY
Thursday the market recovered to SAC,
but an easier feeling again ensued and
the close was $3.50, a decline of points.
October closed points lower. at 7.65c.
Crop reports were generally of a more
favorable character. especially from Tex
as and this section; but rains were ex-
cessive in the Mississippi valley, causing
complaints of damage from that productive
territory.
The bureau report on Monday was about
as expected, except, perhaps, that the con-
dition was a little better than most peo-
pe looked for. The average increase was
nut al trifle under per cent, making the
total the largest on record. which appears
i'm accordance with the general idea. The
dry goods trade shows no Improvement,
being at the moment under somewhat 1ur-
Their depression, owing to the serious ma
ture of the Chinese crisis. Ihere is sun
some talk of an anticipated July or August
corner; barring this possibility, the out
look would seem to be for lower prices
as the crop development progresses.
Stocks were dull, with irregular changes
until on Saturday, when, under heavier
sales, prices gave way sharply. The weak
ness was caused by the reports of serious
injury to the spring wheat crop which
was accentuated by disappointment over
the Northern Pacific dividend. This stock
was a leader, aud declined 6 or points.
There was also further gioomy talk over
iron and steel prospects, and the pears
were additionally reinforced by the very
alarming rumors from China. The close
was weak, and some further decline seems
probable.
Wheat was strong on highly-colored crop
damage reports. despite a favorable gov
eminent report aud rains in the dry states.
| July closed over &c higher at 7Ji4c. Pro-
visions were quite weak early, but later
turned strong, mostly in sympathy with
wheat July ribs sold down to $3.50, clos
ing al $3.50. 15c lower for the week Would
not now favor buying wheat except on
good reactions VIM. T. Williams.

tered in many instances a scarcity Of
labor TO keep down the growth of grass
and weeds, which, to large extent, has
enVeloped not only it, but also the remain
ing S. per cent.
with the above facts in view, II would
not be amiss to figure upon the proba-
bilities of the size of the crop To COM
mence with. we will accept the govern
ment figures as correct both as 20 acre
age and conditions. There is no reason
why we should not; they were eminently
so last year. II we assume their ac-
curacy, then ii can be shown that a crop
OF 100000 cannot be expected. Assum-
Ing the present crop to be 92O0, 900, with 81
increase in acreage, and allowing 10 per
cent. greater yield than last season, would
only give about 10,s00,Ooo. This 10 per
cent. greater yield, present prospects lead
US to believe, is more than can be expect
ed, and If it is realized, we now say that
1t will require another freak OF nature
after Sept. in the shape of weather con-
ditions such as we had after that date
In 1888 when the crop OF 11,250,oo bales
was produced.
I'VE all know the danger Of a drought
during July and August, so 1t is useless
TO mention the effects of one here. It Is
well enough to note that my calculations
as to a probable yield of 10 per cent
greater than last year are made with a
view of our escaping a disaster in the
shape of a drought during July and Av
gust. Should this crop meet with sim.
liar fate as the crop of 1s9s-1900 during
August, the world would face conditions
in regard to supplies unparalleled in the
history of the trade, as II must not be
forgotten that crop OF eleven to eleven
and one-half millions is almost a neces-
sity for the season OF 1900-1a01"

BANKER Gle VS. VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook ms Seen From
Wall street,

New York, June 16.-Wall street, though
not in a pessImistic mood is just now oc-
cupied in dlscounting unfavorable posi-
bilities. While intrinsic conditions are
sound and promising. there are sufficient
uncertainties to defer a continuance of
the upward movement and permit limited
efforts for the decline. The most inn
portant obstacle just now is the approach
OF the presidential campaign which has
much more effect upon speculative than
upon ordinary business transactions; the
latter suffering little interference, as sta
tistics amply show. even when political
agitation is unusually sharp. All indica-
lions point to a very quiet election, con-
sidering its Importance. OF course spec
ulation hos been much more active the
last two years than usual, but IL has not
been marked by the excuses that are usu-
ally the first signals of coming collapse.
In the industrlals where the danger Of
such excuses were greatest. speculation
has been kept within bounds by the action
of the banks and the repeated warnings
of commission houses OF high standing. as
we'll as by many influential newspapers.
Many of these stocks are selling to-day
much below the price Of issue; but the
bought at higher prices, but the original
holders who failed TO sell their over-wa-
tered product. 1t is fortunate indeed that
such an unwholesome speculative move
ment as the booming and selling Of the
industrials has failed. Heavy losses may
fall somewhere, but so long as they are
confined to original sources they will not
be greatly regretted, ana inasmuch as
they often represent failure TO cash paper
profits little harm Will he done. The in
dustrials VIII have enough 70 do In meet
ing new competition. in avoiding overpro-
ductlon and in paying Obligations on over
capitalized properties without venturlng
upon the vcissitudes and quicksands Of
speculation. One very satisfactory evil
dence Of prosperity is the continued large
exports. amounting 10 Sill, 296,0o0 last May
against $9i, 900 year ago. Our imports
during the same month were S1l,555.0oo,
compared with $0.160,OO0 last year This
left an excess Of exports amounting TO
SAL .9i7. 900. against 1913 $4,000 IN 1899; and a
considerable portion Of this excess was due
70 the rapid increase in exports OF Ameri-
can manufactures.
