BUYING ORDERS
STORM CORN PIT
Record Breaking Drouth
Continues-List Holds
Firmly

Chicago August 2-Buying orders
stormed into the corn pit today and kept
up the excited price advance that has
not lasted a week actively. Crop de-
struction due to record breaking drouth
gave no sign of being stopped and the
close of the day left the list holding firm
ly at a level 1ssc to 15s@1%e above last
night
Wheat finished with a gain of %dAc tC
&c and oats up NC to B@1c. In provisions
the outcome was 171z@29lkc decline. Corr
good the predictions that the market
would reach as high as zoe bushel.
There was no rain anywhere. The offi-
cial forecast showed a prospect of sew.
eral days more of dry conditions. Pros
poets of further widespread injury to the
plant were increased by signs of renewed
high temperature.
One material setback in the corn mar
ket took place at the beginning of the
last hour of the session. When the ad-
vance in the September option had
reached 69a4c. point &c above the price
one week Ago, profit taking became SC
general on the part of holders that a
sharp fall ensued to 69469iSc. The effect
however, lasted only few minutes Per-
sistent buying quickly forced a rally and
was driving the list upward again as
the gong cleared the crowd from the
pit. Other grains were Influenced by the
action of corn. It was the popular view
that farmers beyond the Missouri river
would soon stop selling wheat and would
use that grain instead of corn to feed
stock.
The fact that cutting of wheat has be-
gun under favorable conditions In the
Canadian northwest gave a little encour-
agement to the bears at one time but
an offset developed in reports from New
York that a large amount of vessel room
had been engaged for ocean shipment OF
wheat eastward.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, August 2.-The cotton
market has been comparatively quiet
during the past week and aside from
rather violent fluctuations in July con-
tracts as that delivery finally matured,
prices have been without any particu-
lar feature.
On the last day of trading in July
deliveries quite a furry of covering
developed. which sent the price up 46
points, and again emphasized the firm
old crop Situation, while early week
declines in new crop deliveries were
recovered yesterday on the publication
of the governments August report,
showing crop condition slightly un-
der the 10-year average.
The rally in new crop positions was
also encouraged by renewed apprehen-
sion as to the crop situation in the
southwest. The light showers reported
during the previous week had not been
considered adequate by many author
tiles and the temperance of dry, hot
weather has been followed by increas-
ing complaints of deterioration, partic-
ularly from south Texas.
Thursday there seemed to be better
Indications for lower temperatures and
showers, but while accounts as to the
immediate progress of the crop are
more or less conflicting, most of the
advices reaching the trade indicate that
ed and that the situation will become
serious should they not occur within
the next week or 10 days.
Local statisticians figured that the
condition figures of 1876 as of July 25
point mainly to a total crop of less
than 100000 bales on the govern
ment's estimated acreage. but while
such deductions compared very bullish-
ly with the consumption of the past
two seasons. bearishly disposed traders
base their position on the possibility
of Improvement in this respect. slack
trade demand and the approaching new
crop movement.
Trade interests were connected with
buying rather freely here on the de-
clines early in the week. but the sup
port from this source was less in evil
dence on the advance and part of the
selling has come from southern
sources. whether or not 1t has been

New Orleans Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, August 1.-The net
change In prices in the cotton market
this week was an advance of to
points. The high prices were made on
Friday and the low prices on Monday.
At the highest the trading months were
% to 81 points over last weeks close;
at the lowest they were l to points
under. The range was 81 to 20 points.
Up to Friday the market was dull
but steady with prices gradually work.
ing higher on the conviction that the
governments report on the condition
of the crop on July 25 would be bull
ish and on drouth reports from Texas
and OlSlahoma.
The condition figures of 79.6 were
lower than expected and caused heavy
buying but on the closing session of
the week this advance was wiped out
by a general selling movement based
| on private reports of good rains in
Texas. The detailed official weather re-
ports, however noted rain at only 13
stations of the so stations reporting to
the Texas weather bureau. Bulls did
not consider that at the end of the
week the unfavorable crop conditions
in the west had been materially
no rain at all.
The movement of new cotton in Texas
attracted considerable attention. At tho
end OF the week Houston's receipts of
new cotton thus far this season were
rs bales against only A a year ago.
This was encouraging to the short sido
but bulls pointed out that two years
ago at the same time Houston's receipts
of new were 1850 bales.
In the spot department prices closed
net unchanged, middling 12c against
l &c last week and 127sc this week Last
year. Sales on the spot amounted to 561
bales against SOL last week and 61s
this week last year Sales to arrive
amounted to 311 bales against 1856
last week and So this week last year.

tests for the office of division super
intendent of schools which will come
up for decision before the State board
of education in Richmond next Mon
day.
In this section the contest in Camp

candidates, but the contest has appar-
emily narrowed down to two--the
present superintendent. w. l.. Garbee,
and Professor W. G. shackelford. Of
the Virginia Christian college. The
friends Of both have been aggressive
in their behalf.
In Amherst county there are four
aspirants. as follows: r. c. Campbell.
the incumbent: J. Walter Kenny, c.
L. Scott, George NJ, Claiborne.
In Appomattox county there are
three, as follows: J. Lindsay Craw-
ley, N. r. Featherstone and Robert
c. Hubbard. All of these are new
candidates.
In Bedford county there are two.
c. NJ. Abbot and Norman Blanken-
ship. both of them new candidates.
The Lyuchburg city superintendent
cy has already been decided, there
being no opposition to E. c. Glass,
who was elected by the State board
