BILLION DOLLARS GIVEN
BY 1909-1910 CONGRESS

Would Be Saved Was Far
From Realized

WASHINGTON. June z.-More than a
billion dollars was appropriated at the
present session of congress, IL continu-
ing appropriations are incorporated in
the totals Of the general appropriation
measures.
Definite figures concerning the appro-
priations will be issued from the house
and senate committees within a few
days. In so far as the figures could be
obtained, from measures which under
went changes in the last hours of the
session, the total OF the appropriations
exclusive OF continuing appropriations,
was &Ss4.Oss. s43. The amount of the con-
tinuing appropriations for the last fiscal
year was about $16O.0O0.OoO. II is safe
to say that IL will not be less for the
next fiscal year. and the grand total,
therefore, will aggregate at least
6, 054, 10000
The appropriation measures for the
fiscal years 1eOe-10. exclusive of continu-
ing appropriations, carried $sS3, 9ls, 2l5,
while those OF the fiscal year of l9OS-Og
carried Ss54, 20e 24s
The boast OF congressional eaders that
fully S50Oo0.Oe0 would be saved in the
appropriations for the next fiscal year
were not realized.

Cotton Crop Has Made Il.
Fast Growth in Week

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June N.-The Conn
mercial-Appeal says:
Cotton in the south has grown more
during the past seven days than in any
similar period this season, fact due
generally to higher temperatures. Where
the rainfall has not been excessive as IL
was in North Carolina, southern Georgia
and in scattered localities elsewhere east
OF the Mississippi river. cultivation made
rapid progress and the fields are clean.
The plant, though still small for the
season, is healthy and sturdy, and bids
fair to rapidly overcome some Of its
lateness. In North Carolina and south
ern Georgia grass has become a men
ace. but little damage has been done that
two weeks favorable weather will not
overcome.
I'm Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, louisiana, Oklahoma and east-
ern Texas there are few complaints. The
crop did well and is becoming rapidly

CEREAL PRICES HIGHER;
COTTON IS MUCH EASIER
Live Stock Markets Are Lower.
Hogs Are Leading on
Large Receipts

Weather and crop reports have domi-
mated leading commodity markets. ac-
counting for. the sustained strength of
cereals, but the easier tone OF cotton af-
ter early strength, says Bradstreet's Re-
ports of damage from drought in the
northwest have made for some excited
trading in wheat, with sharp advances
In price. Oats have followed wheat
closely, and corn has also been affected
alphabetically. though hot, forcing
weather has really favored the coarser
grain crop. Wheat. which felt the dry
weather reports last week, rose early on
more alarming reports, and on Monday
and Tuesday jumped up sharply because
of reports of deterioration and the large
decrease reported by Bradstreets in the
worlds visible supply, particularly In
Europe. Part of this early strength was
due to natural reaction after the recent
decline and covering by the rather ex-
tended short interest. Wheat on Tuesday
was SQ1O cents above the low point of
the week before, lost a little of this on
Wednesday on rains in the Dakotas, but
regained It again on Thursday and Fri
day on reiteration OF damage to the
crop, which makes up about two-flfths OF
the country's total yield. Flour advanced
rs to 40 cents on crop reports. Oats were
up cents at one time, and corn gained
as much In sympathy early losing sharp
ly on the drop in the middle Of the week,
but rallied again with wheat.
Cotton showed strength at the close Of
last and early in the present week. gain
ing Is to IS points on old crop, 20 to 30
points on new crop and 30 points on spots
up to Tuesday. Dry weather In Texas
was about the only bullish feature in the
crop reports. New bales began to be
reported in the southwest this week
Later on, desire to hive profits on the
advance and reports of good progress by
the crop as a whole caused q loss Of 10
points on Wednesday and 1o912 points
more on Thursday. Reports from the
goods trade were hardly bullish, lower
prices being announced by leading north
ern mills manufacturing bleached goods
and gray cloths. Reports of additional
curtailment also came from north and
south.
Live stock markets are lower. hogs
leading on large receipts. Flaxseed jump
ed up sharply on poor crop reports.
