New York. Aug. 2s.-Further weak
ness in wheat contributed largely to
the strong tone OF the stock market
at today's opening though the strength
OF certain issues seemed TO come
largely from buying by some or the

lie on the bull side. Prices receded

the outset promised to be very consid-

kets were weak as a result of fresh

stocks. chiefly standard railway shares
and bought very little. Reports how

chases of Missouri. Kansas and Texas,

based largely on the rise in Liverpool

the reactionary tone in stocks as the

at further reduction of operations.

and Southern Pacific, held most firm.

New York. Aug. 23.-The upheaval

the world by advancing prices 60

ton at somethi~ like 1915 and high
err. there is no fault to find with the
crop. The outlook is good and todays
weekly weather report show that the
has diminished even though the de-
struction by weevils continues. This
latter has all the time been a fore
gone conclusion. and the best judges
OF the crop have long ago decided that
the weevil was entitled to half a mil
lion or a million bales from Texas. no
matter how good or bad the general
yield from that State might prove to
be. The question now before the trade
is not the size of the crop. but how
much Of II will be available during
the first month of the new season to
meet the demand created In advance by
forward sales to spinners. There's no
doubt that a great deal of short cot
ton was covered on today's rise and
to that extent the bullish situation
was weakened as was promptly shown
by the sharp reaction of 40 points. but
the temper of the world continues
bearish and 1t will only be a short
time before new short interest will
be created to furnish another oppor-
tunity for a sharp advance unless the
disposition on the part of the produc-
ers should be to sell far ahead of the
new level. 1t has been the experience
in past years that sharp rise in
prices is usually attended by refusal
of holders to sell. The same course
may be followed in the present instance
but we have seen SO many reversals of
old customs during the past four wears
that II will pay to wait and see what
position the producer takes before TAX
ing a definite new stand on the mar
ket.

estimate coming from such authorities,
