We would have trusted the banner-crop
reports more fully had they been less
uniformly optimistic. They were too true
to be true.
They were In fact suspicious. Now you
cannot get anything but bad crop ac-
counts from certain sections Of talent.
These are as suspicious as those fine ones
circulated early in July.
There are many good and many bad
spots in the cotton belt, but 1t does not
seem to us as though the crop is likely to
be an over-production. For this reason
we would keep on the bull side on any
setback. January may work some higher
before the market breaks again. We
would take profits on any advance tomor-
row.
1t must not be forgotten that the south
will sell freely on any advance Then buy
on a break.

Chicago, August 14-Ragged grain mar
kets, the result of renewed manipulation,
were the rule today. Traders thought
that with the end of the July deals and
with excellent harvests In sight, prices
would get back on a natural basis, but
the middle of August finds the floor In a
tumult again. One firm is supposed to
have alrthe No. red wheat in sight and
consequently the wheat trade today was
erratic. Four big houses are moving in
December corn and some of the same peo-
pie have out long lines of oats. The new
harvests to date have done nothing to
relieve the danger of manipulation. Adj
verse weather has worked against the
grading to such an extent that contract
stocks are low. All these conditions had
turns at the market today and the result
was wide and inconsistent fluctuations.
At the close crop figures had some weight
with spectators and September wheat
closed AG7s lower; December q down;
September corn y lower and September
oats A6% up. Provisions closed 12h
higher to 20 lower
The leading futures ranged as follows:

PUBLIC CABLES WERE POOR

New York. August 14-The cotton mar
ket opened very steady with prices two
points lower to two points higher and
then worked quite rapidly upward on ac-
the general buying. The Liverpool cables
were not up to expectations and the re-
ports from cotton goods centers were dis
appointing. Nevertheless, private crop re-
ports were less favorable than the aver
age of late. The later cables from Iiv-
erpool were more encouraging and bus
mess from that quarter changed over
from the bear to the bull side. Support
from a prominent Wall Street operator
and some demand from the south helped
to undermine bear confidence.
While the public cables as whole were
poor, the private cables stated that
abroad was very bearish. Philadelphia
of the August, September and October
options commission houses covered new
crop month shorts and went long and
the south bought in hedges put out
against the prospective large yield some
time ago. During the afternoon the ten
dency was steadily upward and the tone
of the close was steady net to points
higher. Total sales were estimated at
$4,000 bales, the bull of which was Oc-
tober and January contracts.
