PRICE 0F FLOUR
 IS ENHANCING Farmers Are CrOwding the Markets With Watermel- ons and CantalOupes

The price of flour is enhancing rapidly as shown by reports received from the feed merchants of Morris avenue. An increase of 25 cents per barrel was affect ed Friday. The demand for feed stuffs has been steady for several weeks past and prices generally have been greatly stimulated.
 Trade on the thoroughfare yesterday was not considered dull, yet some of the merchants appeared to be a little dissat- isfe'i, especially the produce dealers Au- gust Is as rule a quiet month for the produce business, and from now on unti September l some dullness will naturally be expected
 Farmers are crowding the markets with waterinelons and cantaloupes. Quota tions remain unchanged, but if shipments continue coming in as they have during the last day or two prices cannot main tain their present levels. The fowl business Friday was normal Fryers are scarce, owing to inadequate shipments, while hens seemed to be plen- tiful. The demand for fresh eggs was q,te brisk yesterday, and qoutations show a slight increase
 Current prices are as follows:

WHEAT MARKET HAS
 FURTHER ADVANCE
Black Rust and Damage to Russian Crops Make the
 Market Broad

Chicago, August 4-New investment huvins made a broad market today in wheat. Purchasing was based upon belief that reports of serious damage to crops in Russia had been confirmed and that there was truth also under the stories of black rust in the Canadian northwest. Closing figures were steady 9c to 7sc to 1a4@17sc higher than last night Latest trading left corn ssc to %d,Ac down, oats up 1sc to A@asc and provisions atran advance of 5c to 221s125c.
 Harvester sources. received most of the credit for what passed from hand to hand as sufficiently verifying the supposed dis aster to the wheat crop of Russia. One private cable from Odessa declared ex-- plicitlyj that the total yield in the country would be three -eighths smaller than last year This dispatch was interpreted to mean an output not exceeding 4s3, ,00O 900 bushels, falling, off so huge as radically to affect prices the world over if a oer- tainty. Durum wheat from the American northwest is the principal sub for the Russian variety. Accordingly sharp rise in Durum gave considerable plausibil-
 ty to the pessmistic crop advices from Russia. As to black rust, experts now swarming into Canadian territory wers increasing definite in statements concern ing the alleged whereabouts of the plague, the neighborhood of Regina, N. w. T., and of Starbuck, Manitoba, being par ticularly specified.
 At no time did any violent setback in- terfere with the bulge in the market. It was noticeable, however, that the buying was almost wholly in the deferred de- liveries. During the session September ranged from soc to 911sc and closed 7sc net higher at 9O5sc.
 Proft-taking obstructed any tendency to advance the price of corn. Heavy rains in Missouri and Iowa were also in favor of the bears. September fiuctuated between 65Ac and 66c, closing firm but ssc off at 65ssc. Cash grades were in good demand. No. ? yellow finished at 65A q651ac.
 Oats ympathzed with wheat. Illinois reports though had a restraining effect, showing less damage than had been looked for. Price changes for the Sep- tember option ran from 42Ao to 4S1sc with the close 42Ac, a gain of A0ssc over last night.
 Packers actively took the buying side of provisions and made the market strong all day. At the last gong pork was 10c higher than 24 hours before, lard up 15e to 221ad25c and ribs at an advance of 5c to 171ac.
 Future quotations were as follows.

COTTON MARKET
 RUNS THE GAMUT
Seldom Before Has Such Erratic Fluctuations
 Been Witnessed

| New York, August Avery seldom has
 the cotton trade experienced more vio-
 lently cratic fluctuations than those noted in the local cotton market during | today's trading. Broadley speaking the
 market advanced 40 points during the morning and broke 4e points during the l afternoon, with the close weak at net
 gain of points on August, but from 5
 to 16 points net lower on new crop months Business was very active and
 the market was excited all day with sen- timent extremely nervous and unsettled; the morning was marked by apprehen- sions growing out of the rtrmored strength of the hull clique, which had been ac- tive yesterday. while in the afternoon the ease with which prices broke seemed 10 convince many traders that the advance of 90 to 13O points from the low records of Monday had reflected little more than a bold raid of bulls in an oversold mar ket.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 3l to 40 points in response to the sen sationally higher cables. and continu- ation of yesterdays general covering There was heavy realizing by recent buy CTS around the Initial figures, and early fluctuations were somewhat irregular, but new crop positions worked up late in the forenoon until October contracts were selling around II. 74c, comparing with 10 Sic, the low level of the week, while August sold at 12.S5c. At this level of- ferings became very heavy, and as prices began to ease off rumors were circulated that the new bull clique had liquidated their long cotton and were taking the short side. This in connection with the ease with which prices worked lower re- vived confidence on the bear side. and the close was at practically the lowest level of the morning. After the official close sales of October were reported pri- vately at Il. .15c, or 19 points under the close of the previous day. Selling was general late in the day, and while numer- ous unfavorable crop accounts came in from the south during the morning, more bearish advceS were received in the after noon. with the late selling movemey lsug gesting quite a general feeling that there had been no change in the crop outlook, or in general conditions, to jQst.ry the big advance from the low prices of last Monday.
 Receipts today, 1120 bales, against 4059 last week and 1142 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans, 46 bales, against 442 last year.

EXONERATED FOR
 KILLING HUSBAND
q Just Wanted Jim to Be Good, Said Girl Wife to the
 Grand Jury

San Francisco, August 4-The unusual wheels of the law turned briskly for 1s- year. old Anna Langley, who shot and killed her husband, James w. Langley. Wednesday. Moved by her simple story of neglect abuse and villifcation that at last drove her to frenzy, men and women of all classes rushed to her aid and today sine is back with her family and friends.
 The coroner's jury exonerated her.
 "l just wanted Jim to be good" she told the members of a grand jury before whom she afterward appeared. ..I would have worked my fingers to the bone for him If he'd just been good.'
 She was led back to the jail after the grand jury examination, but in a moment the entire grand jury rushed in, their hands tull of flowers, to tell her, they. too, had exonerated her.
 Police Commissioner Sullivan and Chief of Police White last night took her to her mother, who was waiting for her.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans August 4.-Cotton fu, lures opened firm at net advance oi 27 to 31 points on the sensational rise in the Liverpool market. Shorts were extremely heavy buyers and found comparative little cotton for sale Leading bulls who are manipulating the market were apparently holding to all their accumulations and in addition the indications were that they had dis tributed buying orders thickly around the ring. Unfavorable accounts of in- sect and worm damage came in from scattered sections of the belt and stim- Lated the desire to buy. The weather map was favorable but was not a factor in the trading. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were 30 to 32 points over yesterdays s close.
 The market was excited and very steady up to the noon hour. Scalp longs were heavy profit-takers. but there was always enough buying to sustain the market and even to put it higher The clique of leading bulls at all times were complete masters of the situa- tion. Crop news continued favorable and even very bearish from most sec tions of the belt. South Carolina re- ported its first bale of the new crop, and the movement of new cotton in Texas reached record breaking propor- tons, but the trade had no ear for anything but news and gossip that pointed to higher prices At noon the trading months were 39 to 40 points oTer yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon session bulls were Ecavy profit-takers. It was said that the leading bulls were the heaviest sellers Under the offerings the mar let broke sharply and at o'clock the r1ore active months were to 6 points under yesterdays close. This was a drop of over s2 a. bale. The market was excited and nervous.
 The market closed steady at a net decline of II to 25 points.
