CAMP PAIGN IS FELT ON MORRIS AVENUE Poultry Men Dissatisfied Because of the Small
 Shipments

As the local option election draws nearer it's tendency to depress Morris avenue trade is more noticeable. al though the merchants say the effect Is mild compared with Chat resulting from similar campaigns of the past.
 Poultry dealers again expressed 8 great deal of dissatisfaction yesterday on account of the small supply of stock being shipped in. The markets are practically bare of flyers, and as a re- suit prices are strengthening consid- erably Eggs are offered at g cents straight. Within the past two weeks eggs have advanced from to 4 cents per dozen. which is due really to a scarcity of stock rather than to an in- creased demand
 Packers were favored with large volume of business Tuesday. Both the local and out -of-town trade was decid- edly good in that line. Prices remain unchanged.
 The following are current uuotations:

QUIET DAY SPENT
 IN COTTON MARKET
On New Crops Prices Fluc- tuate Within Range of
 Ten Points

New York, August 22.-It was a very quiet day in the cotton market and prices
 iuctuated irregularly within a range of about 10 points on new crop months. Au- gust was relatively firm, probably as a re- suit of covering by belated shorts and closed 10 points net higher, while new crop positions were net unchanged to 2 points higher, with the final tone of the market steady.
 The opening was steady at decline of 2M6 points and during the first few minutes active positions sold from to Is points under the closing figures Of last night under scattering liquidation, loca, bear pressure and selling by leading trade Interests, which was supposed to be in the way of hedges, owing to the increased new crop movement. Lower blVerpoo cables than expected, less favorable Eng fish labor adWces and predictions fol lower temperatures and showers in the southwest encouraged the early selling but offerings did not become general, ano when it, was seen that the official western belt forecast, confirming the private pre-
 
 dlctions for better weather, was not stimulating more aggressive offerings, prices steadied on covering.
 The weekly weather report of the bll- reau seemed to be regarded shade bull fish. if anything, and the market reached the best point of the day during the after noon, when its general tone was probably helped to some extent by the firmness of August, which seemed to result from a very few orders in the absence of import ant offerings. That position closed at the best of the day.
 The action of the market suggested that existing accounts were being evened up and that fresh business was being re- stricted by the approach of the govern ments September report, regarding which the trade evidently feels considerable un- certainty owing to the conflicting char acter of private crop accounts.
 Receipts today were 17,027. against 9241 last week and 12,394 last year. Today s receipts at New Orleans 1153 bales, against 11S74 last year, and at Houston SlSS, against 572S last year.

PREVIOUS GAINS
 IN WHEAT ARE LOST
Bad Weather Predictions Fail of Fulfillment the
 Cause

Chicago, August 22.-Y Yesterdays bulge in wheat, occasioned in part by predic- tions of weather inimical to the crop. was more than lost today when the prophe- cies failed of fulfidlment. December wheat closed zs641c lower. Good weather sent corn down, December finishing as4hc down. The close in oats was hc to ssc under yesterday and the decline in pro- visions ranged from cents in July lard to 75c in September pork.
 Temperatures at the freezing point and even degrees under. that, were reported in various parts of Manitoba and Sas- katchewan today, but it did not check the decline in wheat.
 A prediction of frost last night agitated the trade yesterday, but there was noth- ing calamitous in the news from Canada this morning and temperatures were ig- nored.
 . Tonight frost is predicted for North Dakota and the lowlands of Minnesota and Wisconsin, but warmer weather is promised for Canada. Foreign news was of a mixed character. St. Petersburg took 9 loads at the seaboard and expressed
 
 crop. France and the Argentine, on the other hand, were decidedly cheerful as to crop prospects. The increase of 2,SO0, 900 bushels in the worlds visible supply was due to the surprising European increase of 100000 bushels. December sold between 95Ssc and 941ac and closed at 94Ss@9424c.
 Large receipts, slow cash demand and favorable weather was sufficient to de- press corn, the market being heavy most of the session. Spot corn sold at 1ac under yesterday for 125,0OO bushels A railroad estimate of the crop in Nebraska makes the condition 75 per cent of nor nal as compared with 60 per cent two weeks ago. December ranged between 615s 061&c and 61Ac.
 Oats started firm, but weakened under the influence of declines in neghboring pits selling being heavy for a time. De- cember sold between 456l441ae and closed shade over the bottom.
 September pork, which has been in rather congested condition, was sold heavily today and at one time 1t was a full dollar under yesterdays close. The final figures today were at 75c down at $1650
 Other options were more modest in their recessions. January pork closed 221sc lower, at $16. 371a; January lard 5c down at ss.90, and January ribs 7laG10c decline at SS.371a4S. 40. Packers were buyers on the decline.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 22.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of to points on aggressive selling by short account, based on prospects of rain in Texas. Pri- vate public messages from the west said that the weather was cloudy and the forecast promised showers for both Texas and Oklahoma, as well as the remainder of the belt. Cables were better than due but no attention was paid to them August was heavily bid for by leading bulls and was put ? points over yester- days close, but the other deliveries sagged and at the end of the first half hour of business were 9 to Il points under yes terday's close.
 The decline was checked by the ten- dency of scalping shorts to take profits Reports from the west were unfavorabe and the average maximum temperature of 106 for Oklahoma yesterday caused concern. Later the weekly weather re- ports added to the steadiness of the mar ket for they on the whole were called decidedly unfavorable, and were taken as confirmation of private accounts of crop deterioration. Late in the morning buying for both accounts was seen and al noon the more active new crop months were within 1 to 3 points of yesterday s close, while August was put points over that level
 In the afternoon session the marke was very steady At o'clock prices were unchanged to 9 points up. compared with yesterdays last quotations.
 The market closed steady, point down

 HUGE WATERSPOUTS

Savannah. August 22.-Two schooners, the Samuel Dillaway, from Philadelphia, and William J. McQuillan, from Newport News, are in port today with thrilling tales of encountering giant water spouts off the Virginia coast Sunday night.

DECLINE, THEN SLOW ADVANCE IN STOCKS
Factors Were Illinois Gen. tral and Hartman Line
 Retrenchment

New York, August 22.-Detailed recital of today's operations on the stock ex- change would hardly throw much light upon the general financial situation. The market opened with a number of sub stantial recessions in which Union Pa- cific took its now familiar place-as lead CT.
 In its early losses the list simply fol- lowed the course of London, where all Americans, particularly the Harrimans, were under pressure.
 Further details concerning the propos- ed retrenchment on the Hartman rail- loads were forthcoming, all tending to show that this important system pur- roses carrying out it's avowed policy with little delay The labor situation on the Illinois Central which owes it's allegiance to the Hartman lines, also was reported to have become acute. After the mar. let,s first slump, in which many stocks sold under yesterday, crawled slowly up- ard on very moderate volume of bus iness Union Pacific leading.
 By midday prices were substantially over the preceding day, but again fell away with trading at standstill In this way the list continued to move for the greater part of the session.
 Weakness in Canadian Pacific, which had its origin in Berlin, and was fol- lowed by loss of almost points here p,ecipitated an incipient selling move ment in the latter session which threat cned to make further inroads upon the entire list.
 The earnest support accorded Union Pacific, however, resulted in rally. put prices were not fully restored and the market took on its accustomed languor.
 Baltimore and Ohio was distinctly weak, selling off to par, loss of 7 joints, notwithstanding fairly good statement of earnings for July Read ing's consistent steadiness was accom- ranled by intimation that It's earnings for July, soon to be issued, would be quite satisfactory, and the firmness of pennsylvania followed an announcement that no retrenchment Is contemplated on that system.
 There was more animation in the last hour and the list denoted considerable degree of underlying strength with free absorption of Steel and Union Pacific, the former mounting to It's best price or the day Dulness once more ensued however, and prices shaded as they have iltariably done recently on any increase of activity, but net gains were general in the active group at the close.
 The day was replete with crop news which ranged from good to indifferent. A well known expert opined that the Texas cotton crop would hardly yield rgore than last years output, while Tex as and Pacific railway officials looked for a record yield. An estimate of the North Dakota wheat crop places the probable harvest at S0,0C0,O00 bushels, against 3e,0O0,0O0 last year. Dispatches from Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Wash ington point to enormous yields in those states.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, s1,2l6,000.
 United States. government bonds were unchanged on call.
