Work of the Weather Bureau.

The United States Weather Bu-
reau, formerly ridiculed by the ir-
reverent, has come to be one of the
most popular branches of the gov
eminent. Its reports are daily
scanned by millions Of readers, and
its daily bulletins to those who are
fortunate enough to receive it, is
awaited with almost as much In
terest as the daily paper. The
Weather Bureau has so far i'm
proved In the esteem of the public
that its records are now used in the
courts. "The use of the Weather
Bureau record in the adjudication
of legal claims is constantly To-
creasing, and their value as evidence
is now fully realized 10 all sections
of the country" said an official of
the department. 1t is indeed diff
cult to form an idea, even approx
mately, of the number of times
Weather Bureau reports have been
of service in such matters, as the
great majority of cases never reach
the courts, but are settled without
tri,l. Evidence as to the weather
is a factor in a great variety of
cases, both civil and criminal. The
civil cases are largely personal in
jury, damages to perishable goods
by freezing or rain, and loss by fire.
The criminal cases are usually con-
fined to murder trials"
Weather Bureau records have
figured in some of the most notable
murder trials. An observer was
called by the defense In murder
trial in order to show that the
night the victim disappeared was
dark and threatening. 1t was ex-
pected that this statement would
contradict that given by two wit
nesses tor the prosecution, who
testified that they, although distant
several hundred feet, saw the &C.
cused take the victim into factory
In another murder trial evidence as
to the temperature only was in
troduced by the prosecution. 1t
was desired to show that it was
possible to keep the body of MUIR
dered man a month in midwinter
without attracting attention. With
the increase In the number of OBJ
serving stations and more compre.

al data at hand the weather service
will naturally be still more i'm

ton at 81 &c. against SO per cent. last
month and 1871 per cent. for the same
month last year. but Immediately fol-
lowing it's publication there was ac-
tive selling driving prices back to 9.55c
Tor October, 9.4Sc for December and
8. 49c for January, or just about the
previous low point. There was very
heavy covering at the decline, and also
some signs of a renewal of bull sup
port from lower Wall street, which
this morning had issued a very bullish
circular.
The South continued active sellers
during the balance Of the session, but
IN spite of pressure from this source
and the bearish view taken of the re-
port by local commission houses, prices
held steady during the afternoon, and
closed steady at a net decline of only
Z to 10 points. Sales were 100000 bales.
Estimated receipts at the ports to-
day, 515 bales, against 1852 last week,
and AZ last year.

lures opened steady, with prices from
to 5 points lower. Liverpool was
lower than expected and New York
came in easy. The undertone of the
market was weak. The chief interest
centered in the bureau report. and the
belief that il would be more favorable
than expected caused heavy selling by
scalpers. Many shorts saw profits,
and We're content to take them with
out running the risk of going over the
bureau report. The profit taking COM
menced at the middle of the morning,
and was continued during the remand
er of the session. The bureau report
was the greater surprise the market
fully 3 points higher than the conserva-
tive element estimate, and the ajori-
ty of traders expected. Before the
profit taking by shorts the break that
followed the reading of the report was
not great. In the trading September

down to 9.57c and recovered to g. Sic.
The market closed quiet. August

Savannah, Ga, Aug. 3.-The strong
est kind of missionary work by the bull
leader failed to hold the market dur
ing the morning, but it must be con-
fessed that more success rewarded
their efforts of his brokers in the after
noon to prevent what at one time
promised to be a disastrous decline.
The net loss on day is only a matter
of to 10 points, and yet we have had
the most bearish bureau report issued
in years. 1t is safe to say that few
if any expected a condition as high as
that published, 91.6, but there was such
general desire on parts of shorts to
take profits on small decline which fol-
lowed it's publication, that the down
ward movement was promptly checked
and some of the loss recovered. 1t was
evidently the purpose of bulls to pre-
vent a decline here to-day so as to IA
VOrably impress Liverpool tomorrow,
and the general belief is that if that
market opens at all steady, an attempt
will be made to unload the long hold
ings there. The report published to-
day, besides being exceptionally favor
able has the distinction of showing the
greatest improvement per month from
June to July and from July to August
in the records of the Agricultural De-
partment The start as represented by
June figure of SO was a good one. The
improvement of points to SO in July
was without precedent, and the fur
Their gain of 3.6 for August exceeds
all records for that month. 1t is not
therefore, that hopes are
for a monster yield, and
the fact that prices gave way so
is a matter of wonder TO
all familiar with the crop situation.
We give below some figures showing
the outlook out-turn of seasons when
the August condition was in excess of
90 per cent. 1t will be noticed that
in only one instance had the yield fail
ed to exceed all previous crops and in
that year even the out-turn was far
a hove the average

the Japanese, he says, they have never
sought to stifie trade; ever place they
have occupied is open to the traders
of the world. He considers that there
can be no question of the good faith of
the Japanese in the present war and
he is satisfied that they have no inten-
ton of permanently occupying the
country.
Japan is fighting the battle OF
civilization in Manchuria, declared DR..
Walker, land although the Japanese
recognize the fact that America will
probably be the greatest beneficiary of
her victories, under Japanese or Chi
nese domination American markets will
be opened there at once. America has
endured more from Russia than any
other power and as we have none at
stake there than any of the other ma
tions it is our shame that we
are not fighting that battle in
stead of letting the Japanese fight
it for u.s.

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

York.
New York, Aug. 3.-The government
report showing the condition to be
GIG, we regard as a perfect confrma-
ton of the estimates furnished us by
our Southern correspondents This
means undoubtedly that the crop en-
tered the month of August in condi-
tton promising the most satisfactory
yield per acre ever gathered, and with
the acreage so immense, as would I'M
der ordinary trade conditions mean
very much lower prices. But this sea-
son affairs are in very unusual shape.
There have been practically three or
four years of famine and as result
there is great big hole to be filled
up. We are likely before many weeks
to see settlement between Japan and
Russia and big demand from China
and taken altogether it is an open
question whether with present sup
plies of all kinds so low, demand when
the new crop becomes available will
not be found sufficient to partially off
set the big production. This is some
thing 1t will take time to determine,
but while crop stands in danger of a
material reduction as IL will, until we
are certain that frost will not be early
il seems to us that there will be two
SIDES TO the question. 1t would seem
reasonable TO suppose that with the
South bearish and the crop looking so
big, every bale possible would be rush
ed into the market to get advantage
of the tail end of high prices. and even
should the big trade demand later
serve to put different face on the
matter, we doubt If speculative sup
port can be found to maintain prices
In the interim.

afternoon, and finally got back to about
last nights prices. The simple fact
of the matter is that while reports are
almost without precedent and the crop
is doing magnificently, there is very
little actual cotton on hand, and this
prevents an open break. But as COM
pared with the situation a few weeks
ago, it does look as though crop pros
