excessive the wheat market today took
turn toward the bear side. Besides

checked by a semi-off1cial report from
Roumania telling of 2O.OOO.OOO bushels
falling of I'm the wheat yield of that
country, compared with the latest pre-
vious forecasts. North Dakota dispatches
said that macaroni wheat. as wei! as
other kinds, was falling prey TO black

again current. The opening was the same

FREIGHT RATES ON SUGAR.
Made by Railroads, It Is Contended
to Favor Trust.

Truman G. Palmer, secretary of the
American Beet Sugar Association, today
concluded his testimony before the
House committee investigating the So
called sugar trust with an account of
the costs of production of sugar in the
Philippines. Hawaii. Cuba and Java.
Harry E. Bells of Philadelphia. a
freight rate expert. produced a num-
Der of tables indicating the coincidence
of prices on sugar al New York, Phila-
delphia and New Orleans. and pointed
out that with lower freight rate into
central classification territory from
New Orleans than from eastern points
mo eastern refinery could hope to COM
pete with New Orleans" Mr. Bells
was called in an effort to prove that
freight rates on sugar in various sec
tions coincide advantageOusly with the
geographical locations of the refineries
Of the American Sugar Refining Com
pany. thereby indicating a recognition
by the railroads of the so-called sugar
trusts alleged monopoly Of the sugar
trade.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August 4.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of 81
a. points in response to higher cables
than due, renewed bull support and a
continue ton of the excited covering
movement noted yesterday. Business
was extremely active and offerings were
heavy on the advance. Covered bears.
who had been waiting for a reaction to
sell on, were evidently active. and there
was heavy selling for southern account
and prices sold off 10 or IL points from
the best The market during the middle
Of the morning was nervous and unset
tied Reports of better rains In India
may have helped the bulls TO some extent
and there were continued complaints OF
excessive rains or of insect damage from
the south.
A renewal of bull support and still
more active general covering caused q
further advance during the late fore
noon. and before midday October con-
tracts had sold up to lila or 40 points
above the closing figures OF yesterday
There seemed to be nothing fresh In the
way of news unless it was reports OF
rains in India, but sentiment was much
unsettled and the more numerous re-
ports of too much rain and insect dam
age in the south increased apprehens1ons
of August crop deterioration.
Spot nominal Estimated receipts al
the ports today, 100 bales, against 4.Oos
last week and 1.142 last year. For the
week 5000 bales. against 1856 last week
and 6.923 last year. Today's receipts
at New Orleans, 6 bales, against 3Ot
las year and at Houston, 2,241 bales
against Az last year.
