FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, August 13.-The stock market
experienced another quiet week. with
early weakness followed by growing
strength and fairly general improve
which were sold by continental holders
and closed seven-siXteenths lower. A
smart decline in rubber shares and raw
rubber. accompanied by rumors Of finan-
cial difficulty. upset the markets early in
the week. but the settlement revealed no
trouble, and bears covered hastily and
caused sharp recovery. The improve
ment in Americans and steady support in
gold mines helped the more cheerful clos
Ing tone prevailing in all the sections.
Copper shares were benefited by renewed
reports that definite arrangements are
being made to curtail production.

The stock market finished the week
quietly. Consols declined on the dearer

COFFEE MARKET.
NEW YORK, August IS.

NEW YORK, August 13-The market
for coffee futures opened steady at an
advance of 3a5 points on covering, and a
LITTLE fresh local buying inspired by the
strength of the European and Brazilian
markets, and which also had the encour-
agement Of continued light Brazilian re-
ceipts. Business was largely in the way
of switching from September to later
months, suggesting that evening up or
the September position is getting well UNI
der way. but there was 10 sign of weak
ness owing to the flrmness Of the spot
situation. and the market closed steady at
a net advance of 4a5 points. Sales. in

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. August 13.-Purchases Of
wheat by foreigners had much to do with
making higher prices here today. In
addition. the Illinois state report indi-
eating a crop 100000 bushels less than
the federal estimate was a bullsh inf1u-
ence The close, which was nearly the
best figures of the session. showed a net
advance OF 4 to 81. Other grain finished
lower. Corn. = to rs; oats, 4 to y;
provisions, 10 to 81.
. There were rumors Of export sales OF
cash wheat today from Chicago, but the
leading interests discredited such re-
ports. IT. was admitted, however, that
foreigners had bought some wheat In this
meanwhile, sent news of good demand
there for export; New York dispatches
telling that flour was being called for
there and that supplies were limited
formed another builish argument, as that
city short time since was the point of
heaviest accumulation and lowest prices
for the product.
Indirectly the market here felt also the
effect of the Argentine drought and the
wet weather in southern Russia and in
Roumania. Although trade was limited
in volume, the tone at the close was
firm. September ranged from LOGICAL. O3
to 1.O2%. and finished v to y UP at lO3ka
1O3M to 1.O3x.
General rains west made corn weak
Shorts had covered rather freely the day
previous and were out Of the market.
September sold between 81 and 60, clos
ing with net decline of 1c at GAY The
cash market was easy. No. 2 yellow
closed at 67a67k.
Heaviness In oats was attributed to big
receipts at primary points and to the fact
that the east, which has bought steadily
all week, was nearly filled up for the time
being. September varied from 36X to
371s with the close " down at 36N.
Smallness of hog receipts received the
blame for a rise In the cost of provisions.
The days trade was mainly between
packers. In the end pork was up 12h

MONEY rs A TRIFLE FREER

NEW YORK, August 13.-There was
the same show OF quiet strength IN the
stock market today that developed yes
terday. The professional element was
suspicious Of the movement and was
cautious in attempting to follow 1t, owing
TO doubts as to its origin and motive.
Organized support by strong financial in
ferests was inferred from the manner in
which stocks were absorbed and prices ad-
vanced. American Smelling turned with
the rest of the market and the cessation
of weakness in that stock proved a relief
to the general list.
There was supposition that demon
etration of confidence to the country was
intended by the renewed advance in
stocks for the purpose OF stimulating
some revival Of Tagging trade activity.
The rigid conservatism of the New York
banks in conceding credit facilities,
especially in the purchase Of mercantile
paper and In making time loans, is said
to have begotten a spirit of uneasness
through the country. There was some
talk today OF a change in this policy on
the part Of New York money lenders and
the talk had an effect on the tone of the
stock market

NEW YORK, August 13. 1910.
After a general average avance Of 8
points or more in the railroad and indus

began to back-track in an orderly fashion
In some OF the leading stocks, such as
Steel, Union Pacific, Reading. Amalga-
mated Copper, st. Paul. Southern Pacific,
Atchison and Missouri Pacific the move
ment carried quotations upward to IL
points.
All this happened within a period of
about ten days. The pace was considered
too rapid for health and tho market man.
ayers decided to put the brakes on. The
brakes slipped Friday, however, and the
train started on again.
The way they did it was to dump a lot
of real stocks upon the market until the
demand for investment and speculative &C
count was satisfied. That proceeding left
the market full of stocks again and en-
couraged the bear element to put out
fresh lines. They had been run in very
generally on the active rise in prices and
were in an angry mood. They were ready
to admit that they had been trimmed,
but were not willing to confess that their
position had been wrong. They had SIM
ply oversold the market, they said, and
had put themselves in a bad technical
position

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August 13.-Prospects for
RAIN In Texas over Sunday encouraged
more aggressive selling by local bears in
the the cotton market today and there was
sharp break In prices, with the close
steady on covering and four to FIVE points
up from the lowest, but at a net decline
OF 11aO points. The market opened
STEADY at an advance of one point on
July and August. but generally 2a5 points
lower. Gables were about as due. reviews
OF the dry goods trade were bullish. with
large sales of goods reported at Fall River,
ana the statistical situation as reflected
py the figures compiled late yesterday
was In favor Of prices. These factors en-
couraged some buying at the initial de-
cline. and prices were pretty well sus-
tanned for the first few minutes, but no
aggressive support was In evidence and
later local bears became more agrees
sive, while liquidation grew heavier and
stop-loss orders were uncovered on
scale down to a net loss Of about II to "a
points. October contracts sold at 13.49
or % points below the high record of the
week
AT this level profit-taking by shorts
checked the downward movement and
caused slight rallies, but sentiment still
seemed to be more or less unsettled at
the close. The western belt forecast call
ing for lower temperatures and showers
In. north Texas did not seem to promise
any break In the drought over south and
central Texas. but there was q low
barometer over Abilene and local traders
appeared to be looking for rain in the
droughty sections before the re-opening
Of the market Monday. Elsewhere in the
belt the weather was considered favor
able and reports of improved conditions
IN sections east Of the river and also in
Oklahoma and north Texas seemed to be
attracting more attention. Sales Of print
cloths at Fall River for the week were
estimated at 385, 900 pieces and it is said
that some of the mills are talking OF q
temporary suspension of the curtailment
in manufacture

MANCHESTER. August 13.-The cloth

business was transacted in piece goods

China is still quiet, but Mediterranean
and south American centers supply good
orders.
Yarns are in better request. but the
frmer prices tend to check business. A

Short Maturities Preferred.

Inquiry failed to confirm the reports be-
yond the statement that slightly increased
demand for mercantile paper had sprung
up with the pling up of New York sur
plus reserves. Concessions on rates, how
ever, are confined to the shorter maturi-
ties and five and six months paper of the
nrst grade still holds at o19 to 6 per cent
Reports of large sales of print cloth for
the week by New England mills and a
modification Of the curtailment program
by the Fall River mills indicated an i'm
provement in that department of trade
The weeks more hopeful feeling over the
crop outlook still held today.
New York is expected to secure more
gold in London monday. The rise In the
London exchange rate here, however, les
sens New York's command OF the London
gold supply. The discount rate has risen
IN Berlin and demand for gold from
Egypt and Brazil is expected in London.
The consequence was the firmer tone of
the discount rate In London today and
sharp fall in British consols to a low rec

Illiteracy is Diminishing.

The rate of illiterates has diminished.
on the showing Of the census, from 63
per cent of the whole population over
twenty years of age in 1882 to 80 per cent
In 1901. The great bulk of crimes of vio-
lence. excepting actual murders, which
have diminished in number, has hardly
been decreased at all. In 1906 (the latest
year published in the Statistical Giudiziaria
Penale of 1909 the number of murders
committed In Italy was 1912, of which
2c3 were the work of unknown and undis-
covered agents. The number of crimes Of
violence against the person, the majority
of which were knitting cases, was In the
same wear 80, SOB, and of these 2,437 were
due to unknown assatants The rate OF
murder has greatly decreased, since the
yearly average between 1880 and 1855 1s
stated to have been 1870. But In spite OF
some fluctuations the rate of crimes of
violence, not fatal in their consequences,
has hardly altered.
In 1908. against an amount OF violent
crime which reached 1912 murders and
$3.50 cases of wounding, there can only
be set 81 sentences to the ergastolo ana
100 to terms of imprisonment exceeding
twenty years The ergastolo Is said to be
worse than death, though men have sur
vived 1t.
Setting aside all question OF murder and
the prevention Of murder. there is still
the question Of how to prevent more than
$1,000 people from being stabbed and
wounded in other ways, more or less
grievously, in the course of every year.

NEW ORLEANS.

SAUAAA0AAAVSs
NEW ORLEANS. August 13-Cotton
futures opened steady at a decline of 4
to 8 points on weekend liquidation by
bulls. Cables were about as expected,
and the bulls saw nothing in the weather
map to cause them to enter into fresh
purchases.
Prices at the end Of the first hours
trading were 8 to Z points under yester-
days closing.
The market grew weak around the mid
die OF the morning under increased
selling from both sides. Reports
being bought In Texas was destined to
be rendered on August contracts in New

issued Monday. This caused considera BILE
uneasiness among longs, who let go free

The net results in the cotton future
market this week were an advance Of
10 points on August and a decline of to
10 points on the new crop months. At
the highest Monday. August was 30
points over last weeks closing, while the
new crop months were 81 to "a points
over. From the high to the low Satur-
day there was drop of 80 to 46 points.
At the lowest, prices were 6 to IS points
under last weeks closing on the new
crops. but on August the lowest prices
was still points over last weeks clos
ing.
The advance Monday was due to the
lack Of expected rains in Texas Iiquida-
ton by longs was in evidence all week.
The dominating feature of the week.
however. was the extremely heavy move
n1ent Of new cotton in Texas. Toward
the week end it caused prices in the in
terror OF the state to weaken with prompt
reflection in the future market.
The drought continued in the west. but
its effect was neutralized by the contin-
ued heavy marketing Of new cotton. Bet
ter reports came from Oklahoma. and
nearly all of the states In the central and
eastern portions Of the cotton country
sent In crop reports that indicated de-
cfde6 improvement.
At many marketing places in Texas it
was declared that the highest prices
were being paid for spot, this season OF
the year considered. since the civil war.
New cotton bales were reported during
the week at several points in Louisiana,
Alabama. Georgia and South Carolina.
This gave the bears much encouragement
In the spot market prices closed at an
advance of JIG cent, middling being
