 Chicago. Aug. 21.--Reports of frost in several localities in the Canadian North west caused spurt of buIiish enthusiasm trade today but the strength in the former was diasipated by predictions of a liberal and speedy movement of the new sown crop Oats closed firm but wheat. corn and provisions were weak. The wheat mar ket opened weak due mainly to the apparent indifference of forefgn traders to the ad- vance hore yesterday. as evidenced by the declines in nearly ali the principal European grain markets.

 Ciearances of wheat and flour were equal to sT2.000 bushels. Exports for the week as shown by Bradstreet's were equal to B. 907, 900 bushels. Primary receipts were 754.- 900 bushels, compared with s1i.000 the cor responding day year ago: Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 2S2 cars, against s21 last week and 244 year ago.
 Cold weather in the corn belt and the strength of wheat induced considerable pur- chasing of corn early in the day which caused moderate strength. The principal September being quiet owing to the congest@ ed condition of that option. The market weakened in the last half of the day in sympathy with the break in wheat which dislodged a number of large sales. The close was easy. although December and May were still a trifle above yesterdays final quotations. Local receipts were 253 cars closed at moderate ga1ns for all deliveries. One of the chief factors in the situation was the crop report of local bank which was made public today and which placed the total yield for this year at 23,000, 900 bushels less than the estimate made in the government report in August The low temperatures in the Northwest also streng- thened the market. Local receipts were still meager at i23 cars.
 With the exception of brief periods of steadiness early in the day growing out of buying by a local packer. provisions were weak all day. Liquidation of September and October holding was chiefly responsible for the weakness. The close was at about the lowest point.

THE LOCAL SEASON FACTORS HOPEFUL FOR GOOD BUsI-
 NESS. Season is Now Fairly Open Although Crop Geems Little Delayed-Crop
 Prophecies Dif-
 far,

Despite the fact that little cotton has been moved into Montgomery so far this season. cotton factors of Aiabamas princi- pal market for the South's staple are con- fdsnt that they are approaching a banner year.
 Farmers right now are crying short crop. The buyers. however, believe from all re- ports they have in hand that prospects have been good and a big crop will be harvest cd.
 The crop according to the buyers Is not extraordinarily far advanced despite the ear b bales that found their way Into the market But they believe that when the season opens more than the usual amount of the staple will find it's way Into the Montgomery market.
 And the factors are not going after Q great amount of new business. During the past few years. Montgomery buyers have been expanding in their trade territo- IT. And they have been expanding with resulta This year, however. the factors will confine themselves to strictly Montgom- cry territory. The paucity of money is still marked It is difficult for the factors to do the amount of business as usual Ac- cordingIy there will be no aggressiveneas thts year.
 A fairly good price is expected even by the buyers and the posted cotton men look for q season of prosperity for both farmer and factor.

FEW CONVICTIONS
in MURDER CASES

SEATTLE, Aug. rs. Before the
American Bar association this even
ing Frederick Bausman OF Seattle
discussed the question: Are Our
Our Laws Responsible for the In
crease of Violent Crime" Taking the
crime Of murder as q basis for dis
cussion he gave statistics showing
that 5000 homicides occurred during
the past year, the largest number in
any civilized country, save Mexico
and Russia At the same time there
were fewer convictions in the United
States than in any other country. He
found two causes for the latter fact,
one of facilities which courts permit
for appeals, and delays, the other, the
sentiment of the American public to-
wards murderers.
