it will do comes a little later.
There has been little activity in the
spot department though quotations
have held fairly steady. Movement
has been moderate. The strength in
the summer contracts has extended
to the entire market, and is based on
continued good consumption and the
smallness of stocks for protection of
short sales.
Inquiry among the buyers here in
diCates that there is less selling Of the
actual ahead this summer than for
several years, the experiences of the
past two years having proven, in
most instances, expensive. Some mar
ket observers think this fact helps to
explain why the foreign spinners have
been absorbing fall contracts so free
ly, thus providing in that way par
tial hedge against orders for finished
goods and yarns. If this opinion
proves correct. it is likely to prove
important as a speculative influence
during the next few months.

An unusual feature is car shortage
Operators believe this indicates a serious
shortage in the late fall and winter
months.
There are several causes why prices
on coal going from all fields into Geor-
ga territory will probably be higher
during the next twelve months. In the
first place, exports OF coal during the
past ten months have been greater than
ever before especially from West Viz
ginia fields.
This relieves the pressure Of coal from
that field on the other Southern coal
fields. Alabama also is finding new
markets at Gulf coast points and for eX-
port which takes away some coal going
into the Southeastern States. Alabama
is coking considerable coal and this
coke is going into MdIc and far West
points Large operators in Kentucky
and Tennessee are successfully invading
the Central and Northwestern States
with domestic coal, which. because of
its high quality, successfully completes
in those parts with coal from all other
fields. This diverts a large tonnage
which has been going into Southeastern
States.

Assure Big Yield of Cotton
Cleanest Crop Ever Seen Still Is Small anC
Needs Rain in Some Regions

MEMPHIS, July 5.-If there is rea-
sonably good weather in the cotton
belt during the next thirty to forty
days the foundation will be laid for
a crop that should put at rest talk Of
very high prices during the ensuing
fall and winter. At the present time
there is ample basis for looking for
the second largest crop the South has
ever grown, some extremists talk of
a possibility of it running the 1911
crop a close race This, however, is
hardly worthy serious talk, for acre
age, according to official authorities, Is
not equal to that season, and condi-
ton at the time of the last compila
ton was several points lower. AS
conditions during the latter half of
the summer of 1911 were rather alb
normal in more ways than one and are
not likely to be repeated, it is not
conservative to expect the yield to
reach within a million bales Of the
record.
The past week has been a period
of crop Improvement, though there
tinued ideal weather and growing con-
ditions are necessary If the basis be
laid for much excess over the season
now drawing to close.
Rains Not General.
There have been rains where need
ed, supplying the moisture essential
to the plant catching up its late
start and taking on fruit, yet as a rule
they have been local in character and
many areas are only partially sup
piled. Others have not had enough to
do more than temporary good, and
very soon permanent injury to pros
poets may result. The high tempera-
lures in the central belt were not
ideal, except where showers came and
enabled the plant to take on size. Re-
ports reaching here from the Eastern
belt have told of improvement, though
not by any means uniform.
The handicap 10 the crop continues
to be its lack Of size, which, the first
week in July, is worthy of serious
consideration. The season is at hand
for fruiting, and if the plant is not
well developed chances are against II
becoming heavily fruited. The rains
have helped considerably. but there
have not been enough of them and
there still is the danger of drouth
later.
Cleanest Crop Known.
Cultivation has gone ahead under
favorable conditions and the crop is
perhaps cleaner than ever known.
which is a feature of importance as
to yield and the quality of the crop.
II is difficult to conceive how con
ditions can arise that will cause the
fields to become grassy. The crop
