Agricultural Prosperity.

Signs multiply pointing to another
year of agricultural prosperity From
every direction come reports that the
harder grains and fruits are doing
well, and in the winter wheat region
the prospects are particularly cheer
ing. The New York Tribune has made
careful inquiry in the great grain-pro-
ducing states, and announces that
"the years wheat crop will be a
bumper one. despite reports of bugs
and drouth;" that Kansas, the fore
most wheat-growing state, has the
largest winter wheat acreage ever
planted, with the growing grain classi-
fled at 100, or perfect condition; that
Iowa is planning for the greatest har-
vest ever gathered there; that in Ne
braska the condition of winter wheat
is 100. while Minnesota and South Da-
kota seem certain Of big yields, with
increased acreage and plants in un-
usually fne condition In some parts
Of the middle west there has been
slight falling off, and in Texas and
Oklahoma some damage by bugs has
been wrought. but the general outlook
Is most reassuring. And big year
for crops means steadiness and conf
dence in commercial circles.

It is interesting to know that the
Golden Rose of Virtue, which the pope
has decided to bestow on the queen
of Spain, and which was first pre-
sented by Pope Urban VI. to Johanna
of Sicily, is a mimic plant of pure gold
standing in a golden pot. The leaves
of the plant are set with small dia-
monds in imitation Of dew drops. A
palm leaf blessed by the pope is set
In the central flower. Among the liv-
ing princesses who possess the Golden
Rose are Queen Christina of Spain
and ex-Empress Eugene. 1t is the
highest order that the pope can con-
fer on Catholic princess.

COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished by Miller & Co. members Of
the New YORK Stock and Cotton exchanges and New
Orleans Cotton Exchange. 1919 street northwest,
New York. Aug l9.-The market attracted little
attention IN the absence Of any striking feature.
Foreign news was Of little consequence, and Wall
street ruled pretty steady. thus removing for
alarm on that score. The weather failed to show
any important Developments. Mali adviccs reported
more or less rain in a many districts but not much
in the region most affected by drouth. Telegraphic
communication was better. but half the stations in
Texas failed 30 report, and at only one OF these was
there sny moisture Liverpool prices improved a
lttc IN the early session and cased of title later,
on signs Of some moisture in Northwest Texas.
Absence of reports OF actual damage in Texas we're
few and far between. IL locks as # any improve
ment in the market must come from other features
beyond the dry spell in Texas. The movement Of the
crop Is small but when It assumes larger proper
tions il must in the course OF time prices must
recede until selling viii again be attended with

Opinions on the New York Market.

f. w. Crews. OF Henry CIews & Co.
"Fhe underlying conditions must under
go a decided improvement before there
can be any permanent advance in the
stock market. The exorbitant rates for

can be expected in the ca1l-money market
later; IN fact, the period is close at
hand when the usual heavy demand for
currency from the West for crop-moving
purposes springs up. At Chicago, ex-
change on New York is already selling az
discount. The universal demand for
