Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Aug. .-Wheat-Shows
considerable strength in spite of in
fluential commission house selling
and more or less hedging pressure on
the hard spots Local traders are
generally bullish influenced by disap-
pointing harvest reports from the
northwest and the stronger foreign
markets. Crop experts are now max
Ing guesses in advance of the gov
eminent report in regard to total
yield Of wheat. One Of the best
places the total at 640,000,00O to 624,-
10000. A holding tendency has de-
veloped amongst the Winter wheat
farmers which will probably reduce
the movement temporarily. We be-
lieve that wheat is sale on rallies
and look for scalping market and
downward tendency.
Corn-Coyering by shorts advanced
prices slightly, in spite of the favor
able weather Rains fell over con-
siderable section and have been Of
much benefit. Private estimates of
the crop now range from 1850, 900
to over 100000, 600. Country offer
ings of old corn continue light and it
is easy to maintain prices. Local
traders are still bullish in spite of
fine promise for the new crop, but
with such good outlook we believe
sales on the hard spots will be profit
table.
Oats-Country offerings have fall
en- off and the market is under much
less pressure. The east is taking oats
freely from points east of Chicago
and sales from this market are prob
able in the future. The country is
holding off and is not disposed to
sell oats for shipment except at adj
vanced prices. We look for a scalp
ing market which may work some
higher, but believe oats should be
sold on hard spots.
Provisions-Market was disposed
to be heavy with poor class of buy
ing. Packers claimed cash demand
was a little better and were moder-
ate buyers of lard. There is little
that is bullish in the situation and
we believe that sales on the hard
spots will be profitable.

Bull Movement Sends Price from 16.02 to
 New Highest Figure Since Civil Ware
ABOUT 5000 BALES CHANGED HANDS
Upward Movement Checked Offer Sell 100000 Bales Big Profits for Leaders of Pool Nov Under lndict- ment-Most Spectacular Season in Cotton Trade.

New York Aug. 29.-August cotton sold at twenty cents a pound in the
 ew York cotton market today on ur- | mt demand from speculative shorts who had postponed covering until the last moment in the hope that the m creasing new crop movement from the southwest might break the control or the bull leaders.
 Over Two Gents Above Former Record.
 This price the highest reached by cotton for any delivery since the Civil war and exceeding by nearly two and one-half cents per pound the highest figure reached in the famous bull year of 1913-1904 which until now had stood as a standard of comparison, was regarded by many as the eliminating point of the bull movement in progress hera for the past six months. during season which will go down as the most spectacular in the annals of the cotton trade since war times
 Not a great many bales-perhaps l :. .060-actually changed hands on the advance from 1882, the closing price of last week, to 20 cents for August this morning. At 20 cents an offer from w p. Brown. one of the bull leaders to sell one hundred thousand bales checked the upward movement and it was the general impression around the ring that this was a level fixed in the open market IS basis for settlement of the entire August in- terest remaining.

STATE EXAMINER REPORTS ON
 YORK COUNTY SAVINGS BANK.
FALSE ACCOUNTS MANY YEARS
Not All of $500 Depositors Have Turned Books in Yet-Former Treas ursr Grows More Seriously III.

Biddeford, Me. Aug. 2s.-A sensation was caused here today by State Bank Examiner w. E. Skeletons statement that the shortage in the accounts of the York County Savings bank. whose doors were closed by him on Aug. 12, would not be less than s300. 900 and not more than S350,0 ,000 Previous predic- tions had placed the loss at s100,0 Many Depositors Are Mill Operatives.
 Hundreds of the $500 depositors are lifetime were behind the banks doors.
 Examiner Skeletons estimate was based on discrepancy between the trial balance drawn on Aug. 6 by Richmond H. Ingersoll. the aged and deposed treasurer, which showed de- posits of s1,194290 whereas the amount should have been $1,544 290. and book value of assets of $1.289717. in the depositors' accounts or a short age of S256.573, through the difference between the book value of assets and actual deposits.
 FaIsifyins Accounts for Thirty Years.
 The shortage as given in today's statement was based on the comparison of a large percentage of the passbooks. A full and accurate statement will be issued by Examiner Skelton when these are all in.
 Thus far the examination has not shown any of the shortage to have been due to recent irregularities, ex- cept by the compounding semi annually of the true interest on passbooks but not on the banks ledgers. It was learned that the falsifying of the ac- counts has been going on the last thirty of the fifty years MT. Ingersoll was treasurer.
 Former Treasurer Critically III.
 No explanation has been made by Mir Skelton of the origin of the short age, though the bank offi ficials have said it was due to bad investments in west ern securities by the bank quarter of a century ago The trustees held a meeting shortly after the statement was issued, with President Charles H. Prescott present, but nothing was given out.
 Former Treasurer Ingersol who has been critically i'll at his home since the discovery of the shortage, grew worse today and was unable to see Examiner Skslton and President Prescott, who had planned to interview him.

Colchester Woman Disappeared.

A Colchester despatch on Monday said The disappearance of Mrs. Sam uel AcDonaId. wife of a well known lumber dealer, with her two children on Friday evening gave rise to a re- port that her whereabouts were un- known, but nnmbers of the family be- lieve that she will shortly return home. Mrs. Mcdonald secured a team from a local livery stable and drove away with her daughter, Lizzie, aged 12, and her baby. Her failure to return, and the fact that the team was sent back to the stable gave rise to approximations that an accident had befallen her, but it is known that she is in good health and likely to return home shortly.
