Large Cotton Export.
CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, July ia revival of the
export trade brought new strength today
into the market for wheat. Bullish es-
Inmates regarding the crop in the north
west gave help. In consequence, closing
prices were Aa3s higher than last night.
The end of the day, however left corn
down u to LAS net, and oats of Mas
to lis. Hog products finished all the way
from 10 loss to 17h gain.
Sales of wheat to foreign countries
were made both here and at Toledo. The
news Of these transactions had an i'm
mediate effect. causing shorts to cover
in a lively fashion. In this connection
the fact was pointed out that July wheat
here was being quoted at 12A under the
figures current at Liverpool. Much in
terest. too was displayed regarding pre-
dictions by leading authority that the
three most important spring crop states,
North Dakota, South Dakota and Min
nesota, would not yield more than 4O.-
100000 bushels as against 191 ,00O. 600 In
dicated In the government July report,
and 1II,OOO,OOO bushels. the final official
ststance to the bulls lay in explicit de-
malls that the banks here had been call
Ing in any loans on wheat. During the
session September ranged from S1as to
ss1a. dosing easy but LAS up at s7NasS.
Corn values gave way under free sell
Ing for country account. There was also
considerable realizing on the part of
local longs. Rains in Nebraska favored
the bears. September moved between 667ss
and 6I1a. with the close steady but " to
d net lower at 861s. Cash grades were
easy: No. yellow finished at 66A a67.
Free offerings of the new crop made the
oats market heavy. Besides the weather

The Financier will say:
Considering the magnitude Of the
totals now included In the weekly
house banks. the changes noted in the
statement OF Saturday, as compared
with the previous week. were small
and rather unimportant. Loans of the
banks and trust companies combined
remained almost stationery. a small
decrease of $4,000 having been re-
ported. Specie and legal tenders ex-
banded $6,66S,OOO and net deposits rose
$4,000 900. An expansion OF nearly
81 100000 in national bank note circu-
latiOn was rather an unusual feature.
The clearing house banks and clearing
house trust companies now carry in
their Individual vaults total cash re-
serve Of over $435, 500 900, which rep
resents an excess Of $11,712,800 over
legal requirements. This does not in
oln nd NJ
serve, which is carried with clearing
house members. The weekly state
ment Of trust companies in Greater
New York. as made separately to the
banking department Of the state OF
New York, showed an expansion of
nearly $11.500,000 in loans and invest
ments, which indicates that the clear
ing house banks proper must have
shifted or curtailed a large amount Of
loan commitments during the week.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The cotton mar
ket was very quiet today, but an early
decline in new crop positions was prac-
tically recovered. while old crop months
showed considerable firmness and the
general list closed steady, net points
higher to points lower. The market
opened steady at an advance of points

ever; local and New Orleans weather ex-
perts predicted q return of dry, warm
weather In the west and continued rains
In the central belt, and, while the west
ern belt forecast was for showers IN
east Texas, the market rallied after the
first few minutes on trade buying and
covering of shorts for over the week end.
There was not much snap to the buying
and the increasing new crop movement
in the southwest appeared reaSsurlng
factor from the standpoint of the August
short interest, but that position sold up
to 1899 during the morning, or about IL
points net higher, while the new crop
worked about 2 to 3 points above the
closing figures of yesterday, and the close
was only little off from the best.
Leading bull interests are said to
be receiving many boil Weevil reports
from central sections of the belt, and
the continued rains in that part Of
the country are beginning to cause
some apprehension. but notwithstand-

panied by gradually increased south

tician estimates European consumption

10000 last year. but places mill stocks
at 400, 900 bales in excess of last year.

NEW YORK July 15.-Quotations re-

ness in Reading, regardless of the report
OF a possible increase in the common

loss. and Western Union showed pro-
nounced strength.
Remarkable Trade Year.
The completed record of a remarkable
year in the country's export trade was
made today with the figures for June
showing an increase in grain, meats,
cotton and mineral oil for the fiscal
year of nearly S140OOO.OOO Exports Of
these products in June were nearly 81
UN,tp below those or the corresponding
month of last year. This was due, how
ever. to the shrinkage of Sill .OOO, 900 in
exports OF cotton which was not unex-
pected in view of the huge outward
movement of earlier months.
The value of other products exported
was considerably in excess of the figures
for the preceding June and the state
ment was considered a satisfactory one.
Large Cotton Export.
During the year the greatest gain was
in the export of cotton, which played
large part in the restoration of a balance
of trade In favor of this country, fol-
lowing period in which foreign trade
was in an unsatisfactory condition.
Instead of the predicted loss in cash by
the banks, a small gain was reported in
the weekly statement. The result was
effected. however, by the inclusion this
week of a new member Of the clearing
house association.
The bond market was steady. Total

whether there is any liquor legislation

whether there is any recall law or not,

Slick, isn't it? Pattangall modestly
disclaims originating this or any other

A Boston surgeon declares that no fam
lily should be allowed to keep more than
one cat and that all cats should be regis
tered and fee paid for registration.
That proposition will not be very favor
ably received in this section, where FAM
lies have from three to dozen of these
household pets. He would also have a
bounty put on cats found roaming around
the country, as they destroy more song
birds and small game than one can I'M
agine.' But it is evident that this Bos-
ton surgeon does not know cats, when he
says of them: "By nature the cat is a
selfish, cruel animal. Cats are very
proud and never really tanned. You can
not punish cat for any wrong doing and
have that cat become friendly again. :"
1t would be very easy to disprove this
arraignment, not only from the state
ments Of scientific men who have made
a study of cats bnt from personal knowl-
edge and the testimony of others who
love and are loved by these household
pets.
