The Moroccan Situation.
In the later days Of the week the
heaviness OF the market was at
tributed more than to anything else
to the Moroccan situation, but 1t may
be doubted II the dispute between
Germany and France Influenced real
selling in. this market aside from
Europe's limited offerings. Despite
the decline in British consols to II,
the new low record OF eighty years.
and despite Premier Asquith's com
ments upon the gravity of the stu
alton, international banking houses
cannot bring themselves to believe
that a war over the question in dis
pute is at all likely. Surely the ma
tional funds of the countries which,
according to report, are so deeply
involved give no evidences of serious
trouble. for German Imperial 3's are

break in cotton futures. While spot
cotton held stubbornly at 1871 cents
a pound, the August option broke
nearly l75 points further. to approx
mately IL cents, while September and
the remote months fell so to 100
points to about Tx cents. Heavy
liquidation and extensive speculative
short selling were features of the de-
cline. and both bear eloquent testi-
mony OF the brilliant promise of the
cotton harvest. The revision in price
OF staple cotton. highly desirable as
1t is, has proceeded probably a little
too rapidly either for comfort or
safety. Naturally a drop of about
2k cents a pound within a month
try, for manufacturers and buyers
dislike to stock up in a falling mar

must work for the benefit of an in

continued fully as conflicting during the
present week as IN the past. As a
general characterization, 1t may be
said' however, that the crop advices in
the fore part of the week were of a
somewhat better character. This found
reflection In general declines in wheat
and corn. but at the weeks end crop
damage stories became insistent, and
the principal commodities recovered
rapidly in price. Naturally wheat and
corn are likely to experience similar
spasms frequently before the end of
the season, for both are Influenced to
some extent by speculative considera-
tons. 1t may be said, however, that
tne advices of the leading grain-carry-
ing roads are by no means unfavorable,
ana aside from few localities indicate
no greater crop deterioration than usu-
any occurs at this season of the ha--
vest year.

Naturally the uncertainty which sur
the decline in cotton prevented any
forward movement in textiles, but
these factors contributed to no further
contraction In that industry. In fact,
me cotton and woolen business seems
SUN 10 be scraping bottom and, with
low stocks everywhere, creates a condi-
ton where the next change must be
one for the better.
The slight improvement already re-
ported in iron and steel Is maintained,
according to the trade authorities. This
ls borne out by the quarterly report of
the Steel Corporation. The net earn
ings for the June quarter were s2s, 10s, $50.
compared with 323,519.2OS for the March
quarter. This, of course, Is not a bril-
liant showing as compared with other
years. and, I'm fact. the June quarter of
1910 reflected earnings Of ;40,170,960, or,
81, ,O0, 900 in excess Of the present inter-
val. However contraction was already
known to exist and the slightly better
earnings in the last over the preceding
quarter is a tendency In the right d.
rection.
Investments and Money.
Bonds have been a very dull market
during the week, greatly to the disap-
pointment OF the investment houses,
which had counted upon the July dis
bursements to stimulate a public in
quiry. These firms report that the pub
lie demand is for higher income and
that old-time issues languish while new
public service bonds carrying per
cent and per cent preferred stocks OF
new, and in some instances, hazardous
enterprises are in request. Aside from
the hardening of foreign discounts, due
to the Moroccan disturbance which re-
fiected in a sharp advance in sterling
exchange, the money market was de-
void OF interesting features. Canada,
however, is beginning to draw gold, and
the demand for crop moving purposes
will prevent declines in money rates.
