FOR OLD OPTIONS
Buying Continues AggressiveIy in
Face of Bearish Advices-0f-
terings Practically Nil.

NEW YORK, June 9.-In the face OF
easy cables and rains over the western
belt. the cotton market opened down
to points, except March, which
opened I'D 6 points from Saturday
final. There was considerable demand
from shorts and some support from
bulls who contended that such heavy
rains as reported were not needed.
After the call local buying, together
with continued short covering, carried
July TO 11.95. for net gain OF ZO points
over the opening. August was under
relatively strong demand and advanced
to HI. for a gain Of 10 points. Other
positions rallied to II points from the
initial level. The tone was strength
ened The selling was light and scat
tered
The strength of July and August was
the feature Of the market.
During the late forenoon the market
was steady with prices to 10 polnts
higher than the previous close.
The weather map indicates clearing 70
cooler over the entire belt, except IN tne
Gulf districts, south Texas ana south-
eastern quarter Of the belt.
Excellent weather conditions failed 70
bring out any selling of consequence as
the demand from spot people Tor sum
mer positions continued good and gave
rise to the belief that a large short stili
exists in the market. While genera
sentiment continues bearish on the IA
vorable weather and crop adNlces, sun
no decline of consequence is predicted
owing to the continued talk of heavy
shipment out of the local stock. which
is very small. This. coupled with con
tinued buying by strong interests is
holding the market up in the face OF
bearish sentiment.
During the early afternoon session the
market was active. but prices fiuctuated
narrowly. July was steady around
1871; August, 11.75; October. IL, %; De
cember, 11.22. and January, 1l.l7, while
March was firm at l1.25.

Jacob H. SChiF Believes U. S.
May Escape Threatened Up
heavaI in Business.

NEW YORK. June 9.-If optimistic
utterances made by prominent tinan-
ciers returning from Europe are to
he taken at face value, holders of Sc
curities should not be alarmed over
the depreciation in stock values.
jacob H. Schiff. head of Kuhn, Loeb
4 Co. said that while business is
somewhat depressed owing to a num-
Der of causes, he looks for a re-
vival in the near future.
Henry p Dawson, of J. z. Nor
Ngan & Co, was reticent regarding
financial and political matters at
home, but he is an optimist on trade
in Europe.
U. S. May Escape UpheaVal.
Mr.. Schiff said trade and commerce
have suffered little as the result of a
change from an extreme protective
tariff TO more moderate one. From
this, he stated, it may be hoped that
the changes in progress may not pro-
duce the upheaval which has been
feared. He believes that if prudent
reform of the currency promptly fol-
lows a revision of the tariff it is like
" that we shall escape serious diff
Guilty and become even stronger COM
mercially and financially than we
have been heretofore.
Continuing, Mr.. Schiff said:
For the time being the entire
world is suffering from excessive
demands upon capital the sup
ply of which falls to a consider
able extent short of require
ments.
Large Sums Are Locked Up.
Aside from the fact that de-
mands for capital not heretofore
existing, have sprung up-such
as the awakening of China, the
results Of the Balkan war, the
large ornaments being made
in European and Far Eastern
countries. the activities and
enormous expansion everywhere
Of trade and industry-have alb
sorbed and more or less locked
up such huge sums of money
that the funds usually available
for investment purposes have
shrunk to rather small proper
lions.
Before long, however, this
wave Of extreme industrial and
commercial activity is likely to
reCede-just as credit facilities
and the supply of means to carry

Aberdeen Bankers to
Give Aid to Farmers

Recently the bankers Of Aberdeen
set aside $1,000 to be used by the
better farming association in the pur-
chase Of dry land alfalfa seed. The
seed was secured from farmers living
] the dry part of the state, and will
be sold at cost to the cooperative
farmers Of the association. The co.
operation Of the bankers at this time
goes q long way toward increasing
the alfalfa acreage in this locality. ii
permits the farmers to get hardy dry
land seed at first cost. Last year the
association was instrumental in put
ting IN $500 acres Of alfalfa lii one
county. About IS per cent Of this
acreage made q successful catch. The
plan that has been adopted Tor next.
season will more than double this
acreage. according u Northwest Farm
