u. M. Scale g. Co.'S Cotton Letter.

! New Orleans. May S1.-Another very
quiet day in the cotton market has been
recorded. There were no developments of
any sort calculated to create the slightest
ripple in the calmness that prevailed and
traders seemed quite willing to enjoy the
rest the opportunity afforded. Liverpool
was In a state of Incidence and hardly
moved, so quotations in both departments
were practically unchanged while the
slight variation in prices here had no
Significance whatever. All attention Is di-
rected now to the government bureau
report, any many are the conJect-
airesi as to what events will transpire on
the 3rd proximo. though tn general dis
posi- ton is to take no active hand in
the affair until the actual facts are
Known. The tendency is to look for re-
mort conducive to lower prices. though
none seem to be positively settled on that
point At any rate whatever the immedl-
ate effect may be, there are more rports
to be received during the season and
there Is no assurance that all will be
4 f1attering. Meanwhile the trade is keep
dng close watch on the attitude of spin
tners and eagerly waiting for signs OF a
substantial Improvement in demand for
spots, in which event favorable new crop
prospects would be temporarily lost
light of.

Especial to The Advertiser.1
New Orleans, May 31.-Liverpool was
about as expected, consequently our mar
ket opened unchanged, subsequently de-
clined 8 to points on the warmer
weather prevalent throughout belt and
the anticipation of a favorable bureau re-
port, but became slightly steadier near
the close making the net loss to 8
points on old crop months and to j
points on new. There is no inclination
shown to increase liners pending the is
siiance of the bureau, and II is also evil
dent that speculation is on the wane. or
course il the present growing crop were
to met with some serious setback, 1t
would in all probability again attract in
vestors to the article. In the meanwhile
there has been a, sharp falling off in the
demand for manufactured goods in this
country and the exports of cloths are
small. Weather conditions and the spot
demand will continue to regulate values.
From any after today up to August 81,
Inclusive, there will be no trading on the
curb in this market as all the brokers
have made an agreement to that effect.

The Financier's Statement.

New York May 31.-The Financier
says: The official statement of the New
York Associated Banks last week showed
gain of $l,771. 400 in cash or 81, 30, 200 less
than the amount which was estimated
from the traceable movements of money
during the week. This discrepancy can
be readily accounted for. the estimate
was based upon returns collected for the
five days from Friday of the previous
week to Wednesday of last week, both
days inclusive. while the official state
ment embraced the cash movements from
Friday of the previous week to Thursday
of last week, both days inclusive: the Of
fetal return thus covering one day later
than the estimate movement though ex-
Guiding Friday last which was holiday.
Moreover. there was shipment of ST.,
ing $2.0OO.000 for the week and probably
other important changes in the bank cash
occurred on that day. The official state
ment of May "a showed about $1,000, 900
less, cash than that estimated for the
week; this difference was doubtless due
to the average system The loan of the
banks were increased SIS, 100 300, probably
largely rejecting syndicate operations.
There were no indications of transfers
of sterling borrowings to Europe and,
therefore. the increase in loans must. 1t
would SEEM have been due to domestic
contracts and possibly to the prepara-
tions for June payments of dividends.
The deposits were increased $l6,575, 400 or
only 1906. 800 less than were called for by
the total of the increase of loans and of
cash; the differences is so light. however
as not to be important. The required re-
serve was increased s4.1439a0. Deducting
therefrom the $1,77l. 400 gain in cash leaves
2,3l2. $50 decrease in surplus reserve, ma
king this item 81, 1923. 900: at the cores
ponding date last year 1t was 81, 253, $50.
The daily average of bank clearings for
the week of five days was $23 900. 900 lower
than in the previous week of six days re-
fecting to some extent, the small bust
ness on the stock exchange Eleven
banks show by comparison with the pre-
vious week a net gain OF $4,000 900 in
loans. Two of these banks gained a little
more than 100000 each, while only one
showed loss of over $1.OO0,o00.

Serious Loss Threatened.

Cold weathersand the excessive rain
fall is causing much uneasiness and the
prospect of great loss to Michigan farm
ers. From reports received, Director
Schneider of the state weather bureau,
says that while the damage thus far is
not so very extensive, unless relief comes
soon the situation will be such as to
justify the gravest fears of those inter
ested in agriculture.
The hay crop that usually by this
time has been cared for and stored away,
is still largely uncut and is making a
rank second growth that will materially
injure its value. Much has already
been cut, but the continued rains have
made it impossible to take care of it and
dead loss is threatened of as much as
is already down, some having been on
the. ground for more than week.
Beans and late potatoes have not all
been planted and the time when they
can be with. profit is nearly past.
Wheat, so far, is not greatly injured,
although it is very backward for this
season Of the year,
Sugar beets have so far suffered least
from unfavorable weather conditions.
The rain thus far is not in excess of that
in which beets flourish in the best beet
growing portions of Europe. Unless
they are flooded they will do we'll for
some time yet, even if there should be
no great change. In the fields about
Saginaw, however, they are being
drowned out by the long rains.
When asked to make prediction as
to the time of change, Mr. Schneider
said it is impossible to say anything
Generally, he said, nature endeavors to
correct an abnormal condition, and so
far the temperature has been far below
the normal Therefore, he thinks hot
weather won't be much longer delayed.
Just at present he didn't see any .indica-
tion of sudden rise in temperature
however.

Heaviest Rain of the Year.

The heaviest rain storm of the year
took place Wednesday night and Thurs
day morning. The rain came down in
torrents, and the following damage was
done by the flood which followed:
a. washout took place near Corunna
on both the Ann Arbor and Grand
Trunk tracks. The Ann Arbor road
bed was washed away for more than
100 yards, but the track had been
Strengthened and temporary repairs

day noon. Grand Trunk Engine No.
1925, with a heavy train, east bound,
blocked the track until late Thursday
afternoon. The grade had been
washed away by the rain.
South Owosso was flooded because of
Comstock creeks limited capacity.
CuNerts were washed out across Corun-
ma avenue near the church across West
Main street near the Ann Arbor, and
across North Chapman street. The lat
ter was new culvert, just put in
Besides the washout near Corunna
the Ann Arbor also had to contend with
others north of Owosso Junction and
south of Durand. The Michigan Cen
trail passenger trains were delayed by a
washout south of OwossO.

HICKS, JULY FORECAST.
Hot Weather, with Occasional Hail
and Thunder Storms.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the st. Louis
prophet, whose representations are re
garded with much interest by many
students of the weather, gives for July
bill that ought to please the most fas-
tidious embracing as it does, almost all
conceivable climate changes. He says:
The July storm diagram shows a
Venus disturbance, central on the 2d,
extending its influence beyond the mid
die of the month. On Friday and Sat
urday, the 4th and 9Th, warm wave of
great intensity, a low state of barom-
etric pressure, high per cent of atmo-
spheric humidity, and some wicked
storms of thunder wind, rain and hail
Some of the most disastrous hail storms
that ever visited the central and north
western section, occur during astronomic
combinations similar to those existing
through storm periods in the first half
of July Such visitations need not be
unlocked for by any reader of these
forecasts, about Friday, the 4th to Mon
day the 18th. Change to quite cool for
the season may naturally be expected
on the heels of these disturbances.
Reactionary storms due about the
18th to the 18th, will most probably de-
velop on and touching the 10th. Elk
cessively warm weather will exist prior
to storm EXAMINATIONS at this time.
On the 18th, unless frequent and gen
eral electrical storms occur to break up
the concentration of solar energy, a
prolonged term of intensely warm
weather will continue through all the
central part of the month.
We may expect some notable disturb
ances between Wednesday, the 10th,
and Monday, the Goth. If these dis.
turbances do not take the form of heavy
electrical storms, phenomenal heat will
prevail and seismic perturbations will
probably eliminate on or near the Goth.
If general and marked electrical storms
develop at this period-results rather to
be expected-there will come gracious
respite from consuming heat and drouth
thus assisting and perhaps saving the
corn crop In many western and north
western sections. r
The 22d, to the Gath inclusive will
bring reaction from high to lower
barometer, the temperature will rise and
the last week Of the month will be ex-
cessively hot. = + , F's
