OUTLOOK is CHEERFUL

NEW YORK. August 1.-THE up
ward movement Of prices In the stock
market was resumed today. and al
Though the pace of the advance was
moderate and most of the gains around
or below 1 per cent, the tendency was
general. This activity affected particu-
larry the shares of steel making COM
panies, both the trust and the inde-
pendents--a movement perhaps &C
counted for by the Iron Ages very
cheerful review of the situation In that
trade.
The reuarkab bic situation in the har-
vest states lends interest to the gov
erpuent's figures on the countrys agri-
cultural exports for July ard for the
seven completed months of 1912. For
last month alone, the total is the SMALL
est In more than two decades. with
the single exception of 1904. when sup
niles of cotton had at this time been
practically exhausted. On the pres
ent occasion, 1t is a somewhat similar
exhaustion of the supply OF hreadstuffs
"a result of last years deficient crops.
which is responsible for the months
poar showing. But when one examines
the figures for the seven months end
ing With July the story is different. Ihe
country's total agricultural report for
the period exceed all records save
that OF the outward trade winch foi-
lowed the great harvest year of 1906,
and their value In $4,000. 900 ahead of
the similar months in 1911.
That this should have happened. not
withstanding heavy shrinkage in our
export OF grain. -four. cattle and meat,
is wholly explained by the great cot
ton yield Of 1911. whose abundance the
Southern conventions deplored with
such fervor when the harvest results
were known. Neither in number of
bales nor in total value of the ship
ments has this cotton export ever
been paralleled in our history; for
the seven months period, II runs $40
00o, 600 beyond the previous maximum.
when Ii is remembered that this re-
markahle movement has not only bull
warked our country's position on inter
national exchange. but has filled up
the empty storehouses of foreign spin
ners and called into new activity Euro
pean spindles and European labor. 1t
may be judged how much OF legftimate
basis underlay last autumn's iamenta-
tions.

The passage Of the metal schedule
Immediately following the reading of

resolution on the table.

schedule, Representative Stanley,
chairman Of the steel investigating
