CHICAGO PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, August 31.-Selling out by
traders who did not care to hold wheat
over two holidays made prices today
weak from the start The close was
within Il Of the bottom figures OF the
session, and ! to IA under last night.
Corn showed a net loss OF ss to 12. and
oats a fell of 1sa4s to y. In provisions the
outcome varied from 10 decline to an ad-
vance Of tx.
Increasing receipts had much to do with
forcing recent buyers to turn to the sell
ing side of wheat There was an estimate
that 1000 cars would arrive at Minneap-
oils alone for Tuesday morning.
In consequence OF the break In wheat
prices export business picked up some
what.
Attention of spectators. however. fixed
itself tenaciously on the fact that pri-
mary receipts had reached nearly double
lack of storage room wheat was being
piled ON the ground at stations In west
ern Kansas December delivery ranged
between 927s and 81, closing N net
lower at 93 even.
Corn weakened owing to predicted frost
turning out to be myth. Belief spread
that the country movement would soon
| increase. December fuctuated from s.
to 5514aj5as. and closed steady Is off at
55a55ls Cash grades were only in fair
demand. No. yellow was quoted at 79Z

| oats sagged with wheat and corn. After
| the dip there was good export demand.
Outside limits touched for December
were 32A and 32S. net loss OF 1ea4s.
Provisions Joined in the general wea {
/ ness. Lard and ribs, however. rallied as
result of support from packers. and
| wound up at prices ranging from last
nights level to an advance of 71s. In the
end pork was off to 10.

Candidate Wilson's Shorthand.

From the Boston Transcript.
In publishing a fac-simile OF Gov. VIII
sons own original draft in shorthand
Of his speech Of acceptance. New York
paper gravely informs its readers that
his system is the German. with modifi-
cations and abbreviations Of his own. "
Nothing could be farther from the truth;
even a casual examination OF the notes as
reproduced discloses the fact that they
are formed strictly according to the prin-
ciples known to all writer's of Pitmanic
systems, the first of which was invented
in England. The real German system,
that Of GabelsberGer, is based on signs
for letters OF the current alphabet in
stead OF signs fer sounds. as In Isaac Pit
mans original photography and all sub
sequent Pitmanic systems. In one re-
spect, however, the newspaper is right;
it asserts that the democratic candidate
for the presidency is an expert stenog-
rapher, and such his notes certainly re-
veal him to be. Well formed and max
ing use of exped!ents used only by the
most expert writer's. they show not only
complete knowledge of the art. but
more than ordinary skill in the applica-
ton of its shortening principles. Not
every presidential candidate has so time
saving and useful a servant at his COM
mand, and the governor must more than
once have had occasion to congratulate
himself on the necessity which,, when
only fourteen years old, caused him to
teach himself SO thoroughly the mys-
teries of the winged art.

country the slightest foundation to stand
on. it would appear. Yet just the same
there is a tremendously strong Dear eie-
ment In the stock market, and a great
number of people who see trouble aheao
and wrangling and no rest. 1t Is op-
served however, that no progress is ever
made without more or less unrest.
Considerable interest attaches to the
Vermont and Maine elections. Every
results in order to locate political
ground swell, if any exists, and to feel
for tendencies. Most people have De-
come reconciled to the theory that the
democratic candidate is likely to sweep
the country, but there is not yet suffi-
cient certainty for the great moving
forces of Wall street to take the matter
for granted or to make the rash mistake
of settling an election before the voters
have a chance at the ballot boxes. For
that reason they are in many cases dis
prises and development projects which
have been pretty we'll matured, SO far as
the planning goes.
The latest hint Is that the commission
appointed to hear the wage dispute be-
tween the engineers and the railroads Will
not have its report ready before the lat
ter part of September. The question is
a big one and the commissioners are fully
mindful of their responsibilities and
anxious to deliver a finding that will have
weight and bearing upon the wage ques-
ton in a broad sense. Arguments and
data are now about all in and the process
Of digestion and expression can be said
to be under way. The street awaits the
action with undisguised solicitude. 1t
will have an important bearing on stock
market values.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, August 31.-In spite
OF the fact that this was q week OF even
ing UP operations in the cotton market.
cotton prices showed net loss of 46 to
40 points. Shorts covered from one end
Of the week to the other and greatly re-
duced the short interest The general ex-
pectation was, however, for a bearish
government report and this. together with
some little hedge selling against the new
crop caused the decline. Longs liquidated
to some extent and the strongest class Of
bear traders increased their commitments
moderately. The triple holidays follow
ing the close of the market Friday caused
evening up more than did the nearnesS
of the bureau report.
The high prices of the week were made
on Monday and the low prices on the
closing session. At the highest the trad
ing months were 2 to 3 points under last
weeks close, and at the lowest they were
40 to 81 points under. The range was 46
to 40 points
The weather Of the week was gener-
ally regarded on the whole as being ia
vorable. Texas and Oklahoma still con-
tinued to suffer for want Of moisture, but
the fair weather, with scattered showers
now and then, was considered favorable
to the remainder of the crop. A bearish
ernment report on the condition OF the
crop. chiefly because OF private bureau
reports showing loss Of only 2 to 8
points for the month In the total average
percentage of condition.
Free offerings of cotton in Texas, the
hearty movement of the crop in that
state. and a weakening spot basis helped
the bears put prices lower At the same
time bullish comment was caused by the
heavy export movement out OF Calves
ton.
In the spot department prices lost one
half cent, middling closing at II 3-16.
against IL n-16 last week. and LIZ this
week last year. Sales on the spot
amounted to 365 bales. against 34S last
week and Loss this week last year. Sales
to arrive amounted to 46 bales, against
none last week and 5s5 this week last
year.

viewpoint of underlying conditions Oct

In the meantime we have long list
of new pools organized to induce activity
in a variety of stocks. Some OF these
pools are based upon the theory tnat
prices are so low that stocks can be
sold at a substantial profit upon going
quotations. Others have for their one
purpose a distribution OF stocks aireaoy
owned and uncomfortably carried for
some time past. All these proposals,
plans and energies depend for success
upon public response TO what pool man
ayers hope to make an attraction. If the
public does not respond September will be
a happy month. September's first week

The Financier says this week:
The principal feature of the statement
for the week ending August 81 was. of
course, the heavy loss in cash, due to
increasing crop demands. Taking the
statement of actual condition Of Satur-
and legals $12,179.o0O This total was
heavier than had been anticipated. 1t
included not only direct shipments to
the interior and losses to the sub
treasury. but the shipment also OF ST.
100000 to Canada The cash decrease
affected excess reserve to the extent of
the total sum taken, and from the fact
that there was an expansion OF $780,
900 in loans. so that deposits actually
arose 1921, 900 instead of decreasing, as
is usually the case when cash is flowing
out Of banks. and the reserve there
fore fell $10.792,75o, leaving the present
excess above the 25 per cent minimum
lat $4.553.15o. the smallest reported in
a long period The statement based on
averages did not include the later
operations of the week. the average
statement showing a decrease of $11,-
11O, 900 in cash, but an increase of only
$3.50, 900 In loans, while net deposits
fell off sS.6s8o00, making the decrease
in reserve $S,591. 600, and the present
excess based on averages S9545,150 The
independent weekly statement Of trust
companies showed only unimportant
changes. 1t is worthy of mention that
almost the entire decrease in cash dur
ing the week fell on the banks proper,
the trust company excess reserve stand
ing at present at $242,900 above the
legal requirements, while the remainder
belongs to the banks.

The canning process as applied to whole
