Rumely Plants Shut,
Years Orders Filled
The important Question TO the Stock
holder Is, when Will Manu-
featuring be Resumed"

NEW YORK, July ia dispatch
from Chicago to the effect that the
Rumely Company is planning practi-
making thrashing machines and trac-
tor engines appeared at a casual
reading to supply a bearish argument
on the Rumely stocks.
Inquiry at the company's bankers
brought the confirmation OF the state
ment, but also developed some addt-
tiOnal Information which removed
much Of its possibilities as a market
factor The company will stop con-
struction of thrashers and tractors
as well as several other lines Of farm
machinery, around August /, because
the years orders have been filed. The
remaining months Of 1913 will be de-
voted to deliveries and collections.
The contraction Of manufacturing in
midsummer is a seasonal matter, fol-
lowed 10 a greater or less extent by
all concerns making farming imple-
ments. OF far more significance than
the reason for closing the Rumely
plants Is the problem as to when they
will again start up.
Usually new contracts have been
received by the late autumn to war
rant the resumption Of business on a
substantial scale, but such may not
be the case this year. A director said
yesterday that he would not be sur
prised If there should not be much ac-

CANADA REFUGE
Of j. 8. STEEL IF
GUILTY AS TRUST
Infinite Possibilities Found in
Perpetual Charter Just Given
Corporation.
L00PH0LE FOR DISSOLUTION
Gary Sets Example for His
Brother Officers in
Stratagem,
LOOPHOLE FOR DISSOLUTION
BY RoERsIANER.

There are infinite possibilities in
the letters patent just granted the
United States Steel Corporation by
the Canadian Government.
The grant is apropos of a $4,000
900 plant that the corporation means
to build up there. But the charter,
not the mill, is the thing. The Ii
cense to do almost any kind of bust
ness is perpetual.
Under it, also, Mr.. Gary and his
associates may control all sorts Of
operties-including of course, the
Tennessee Company. Equally, Of
course, the Steel Corporation may
Ore Company-an amount of raw
material which it was difficult to be-
neve Gary would relinquish.
The charter may be rendered sig
nificantly adaptable in other ways.
Should the Government win the
pending suit against the corporation
should the United States Supreme
Court order a dissolution-the COM
pany might eXtinguish itself in the
United States and operate under the
foreign rights just accorded
1t is an idea that should comfort
the corporations security holders,
and preferred stocks, who might be
simply asked to exchange the GER
tificates Of the old corporation for
stocks in the Canadian Concern-if
the worst befall in the court, or, in
deed, in Congress; for the Canadian
tariff differs from the schedule of
imposts proposed by the bill under
the Senate's consideration.
Manifestly Mr. Gary and his coad-
tutors have INDUCED in thought for
over a year. Their cogitatiOn has
ultimated in the Canadian PROPOSE
tion-which may be made protective
alike to the management and to the
security holders.
Obviously, too, Gary is setting an
example to his brother corporation
managers who may say in defense
that the lawmakers of the United
States are driving industrial compa-
MES out of the country.
Whatever is done with the Cana
dian charter, it is certain that the
Steel Corporation has in reservation
a legal stratagem evasive, ingenious
and no doubt perfectly effective.

Corporation Votes to Allow Armour's
Shop In Smithfield, After
Considerable Debate.

LONDON, July 19.-The fact that
"a per cent of the beef supplied TO
Smithfield, London's biggest meat
market comes from American pro-
ducers was revealed at the City Cor
poration meeting, when the question
of renting certain shops in the mar
ket to the Armours was being dis
cussed.
Councillor Kimber, opposing the
recommendation, alleged that Amer
lean firms importing meats to Smith
field artifiCially inflated prices. Other
Councillors defended American meat
trade methods which enabled the
poor to buy cheaply. One market
tenant said: I'VE want Americans
to continue to do a large business
in Smithfield."
The recommendation was carried
by an overwhelming majority.

MORE CHEERFUL
SPIRIT SHOWN
IN SOUTHEAST
in Cotton Prospects
Caused by Fine Growing
Weather Brings Optimism.
Ru M A BOSE

Two weeks Of hot weather, varied
by good showers, have done marveIs
for the cotton crop of the Southeast,
according to the views Of competent
observers, who have made trips
through the farming sections.
Cotton in South Georgia is waist
high, they say, and a little more OF
this ideal weather-ideaI from the
cotton planters standpoint-will do
much to overcome the late start the
crop suffered. II August, now, Will
be as kindly as July. and II the frost
is not too early an excellent crop
viii be assured. To make conditions
perfect, little rain in Central South
east Georgia might be added, for the
abundant showers elsewhere skipped
that section, according to the Wealth
er Bureaus report last week.
The feeling all around IS more
cheerful. Country bankers and mer-
chants report to their Atlanta CORE
spondents that the crops look better
particularly the corn. which promises
a more abundant yield than Georgia
ever has known.

BY keeping loans strictly TO a bal

that a customers balance be kept al

money is kept equal to the needs OF

Atlanta institutions, with one OF
two exceptions, have not vet begun "a

a few weeks this VIII begin probably
not as early as usual for the cotton
crop is a little late.
The outlook, according to good au-
thorities is for good prices for the

months domestic mill takings were

were close to 100000 i'm June.
Cotton Prices Better.

and News by Experts of Finance, Industry Crops and
Cotton Trade Inclined
To Enlarge Estimates
Bears Timorous Despite Promise of Big Yields.
Spot Prices Steady.

MEMPHIS, July 19.-Another week
OF progress for the cotton crop is
history, and the tendency is TO en-
large yield expectations. There is
still. however. plenty Of time for
something to happen and fear that it
might is contributing largely 10 the
disposition to make haste slowly in
yielding to the temptation to try to
discount a big crop.
The trade seems to realize that
ever since the first Of the year there
has been a feeling In the cotton world
that the crop of the season l9l3-l4
was going to be a large one, and so
far nothing has happened to serious
~ interfere with this promise, yet in
the face Of many adverse conditions
and circumstances. the price has held
steady, and only for a brief spell have
futures been below II cents.
This fact tends 10 increase conf
dence in the stability of the affair
and discourages willingness on the
part Of hearishly inclined people to
commit themselves too heavily on that
side until there is assurance that the
crop will be sufficient for the worlds
needs for the ensuing year and allow
for some enlargement Of the reserves
in the hands OF spinners.
AS yet notes or complaint from the
fields have been I'm a minor key and
danger is largely prospective. There
have been some temperatures that
were too high for the best progress
Of the crop, for the moisture supply
was limited. but while this was the
case the weevils in the same districts
have been kept in check
Oklahoma has sent the most serious
complaints as to the heat, although
the condition is that State has been
high and there Is room for some de-
terioration and still leave promise Of a
good crop. Texas as usual Is sending
variety of reports, though the av-
erage opinion Is that a record crop
VIII be marketed there. There Is ba-
sis for expecting a large early move
ment from that Commonwealth also,
and three new bales already have been
marketed.
In this territory. which comprises
the area that produces the bulk of
the long staple varieties the pros
pect Is the best in years though In
the lower edge, including some Of Mis-
sissippl and Arkansas the weevil bids
fair to be a factor Conditions are
so favorable at the moment that the
tendency here is to take an optimis-
tic view Of the entire belt Informa-
ton reaching here is that while there
has been much Improvement in the
Eastern belt during the past few
