For fthe first six months of the current calendar year 129,116,2O7 bush els of grain were received at these cities, in comparison with a similar i total inbound movement in 1904 of | 1O7,036,242 bushels. In contrast with the receipts for last year, gains were made at the markets of Portland, Me, New York, and New Orleans; while losses occurred at Philadelphia. | Baltimore, Galveston, San Francisco and Tacoma.
 At New York the receipts of grain during the month of June 1905. total ! ed 5,56S,974 bushels, as against a cor responding inbound movement in 1904 | of 4.517,075 bushels. The grand total receipts of grain and flour and corn | meal reduced to bushels, at New York l during the first half of the current year aggregated 49,510,933 bushels, | representing a rail movement of A. ] 666,S23 bushels. a canal movement of | 1,496, 300 bushels, and river and coast movement of S47 S10 bushels. A sim liar total inbound movement in 1904 amounted to S9.2S5,610 bushels.
 | Grain arrivals at New Orleans dlir- | ing the month of June, 1905, JtotaIed 291, 400 bushels, in contrast with simi- | lar receipts in 1904 of 39S, 700 bushels and in 1903 of 343,O71 bushels. Ship ments for the month, which amounted
 to 125,814 bushels in 1905, were greatly in excess of similar movements in

 great gain, as indicated in the 1905 ar
 rivals, was entirely due to greatly in | creased corn receipts. Grain shipments from New Orleans during the first six months of 1905 aggregated 16,S76,657 ! bushels, and were over 10000, 900 ! bushels heavier than like movements i in 1904, although they fell nearly i 3,00O,000 bushels below those for 1908. | San FranciscO's grain and flour re- ceipts during the month of June to- l tailed 1,196 POI bushels. of which S46, 533 bushels came from interior points

 cific ports, and S,901,3S1 bushels to northern border. lake and other border ports, making a total of 7S,312,64 bushels, as compared with a total out bound movement in 1904 of 3S,39O, ,2O3 bushels. Of the current years grain exports nearly B per cent were with drawn by way of the Atlantic ports, 29 per cent by way of the Gulf ports,
 per cent by way of the Pacific ports, and II per cent by way of the north
 ern border, lake and other border
 ports. Similar percentages in 1904 were as follows: Atlantic ports, 47

 Figures obtained from commercial
 sources indicate that the total availa- | ble supply of cotton for the current season to and including June 30 amounted to 12,9O1,315 bales, as against a similar supply in 1904 of 1O,096, TOY bales, and in 1903, of 10,739,-
 S77 bales. The amount of cotton brought into sight during the month of June totaIed AIS, 1903 bales, and was the smallest quantity for any one month during the. current season. The net overland movement from Septem- | Der 1, 1904, to June 30, 1905, totaled 1,057,193 bales, and was approximately | 1500O0 bales greater than a similar movement in 1904, although slightly smaller than that for 1903.

 takings for the season 2,197 662 bales went to northern mills and 1867, ,175 | bales to southern mills, a total of | 4,164,837 bales in contrast with simi-
 lar takings in 1904 of 3,SS2.S12 bales. and in 1903 of 3,S99,127 bales. As compared with the 1904 figures, the receipts for both the northern and southern mills indicate slight in creases.
