Only Two Weeks Supply on Hand
August IT. Cigarette To-
bacco Scarce.

The statement is made in the Daily
Journal Of Commerce Of August IL that
there is only two weeks supply OF
crude rubber in the United States, and
as a result certain. classes Of automo.
bile tires have advanced sixty per cent.
Cigarette tobacco, especially that

ried almost exclusively by Austrian
ships, which have been withdrawn.
Advances in price, however, are be-
lieved to be some distance in the flu
ture. @ 4it u
sumatra Tobacco.
Enough Sumatra tobacco is in stock
in this country to keep cigar manufac-
turers supplied for year. Cigar bands,
however, have gone to premium, be-
ing mostly Autographed in Germany.
New York photographers plan to meet
this demand. t+ Asgtl
N Tobacco importers have heard that
ten thousand eigarmakers in Havana
have been thrown out of work through
the closing Of factories that supplied
English and German trade.
70 James Mortimer Montgomery, presi-
dent Of the Tea Association of America,
stated that this country had less tea
than at any previous time. New York,
the largest storage center, has $4,000
packages, in comparison with 267000
last year and 354 1000 the year before.

~ Coffee Prices Advance.
Coffee has gone up sharply. About
/ ], PA, 900 bags are stored in New York
and New Orleans, the two principal cen-
tiers, supply for about three months.
Santos spot coffee has risen from three
and one-half TO four cents pound, and
Rio from two to two and one-half cents

The Brazilian Steamship Company.
has announced that IL has diverted its
seven vessels from c0astwise trade TO

This may somewhat relieve the coffee
stringeney.

twenty per cent within another month,
| It is said. Austria, Germany and Eng,

capped by the fact that the necessary

Tt addition to the weeder, I use light harrow, with flat teeth, going a. straddle of the plants. This does fine work just behind the weeder, before the land gets hard, in wrapping up the grass that is left by the weeder aad putting a little dirt to the plants tt: enable; them to stand up better.
 When the plants are fully old enough ;; thin them to- the proper stand. At this time the field is prac- ticAily level. do not use the weeder any. more, but go a-straddle of the plants once more with the light har- row.. After this I used the heavy cultivation and the cotton blow. It de- pends, upon the kind of soil and rain- fall as to which one I use most. When the season is dry I prefer the five hoe, cultiva tor as this, leaves the mulch more evenly distributed, which is needed to retain the moisture in the dry season. If the season has an abundant rainfall I use the cotton blow very shallow. In the wet sea son there is apt to be lot of fine grass and the blow will destroy more of it when the ground is wet than the cultivator will, and the mulch is not SC much needed to hold the moisture as in the dry season.
 Whether using the cultivator or the blow stir the soil on each side of the plants until they are large cl,oughs to entirely shade the row. Then I cultivate the middle as late as I can without injury to the cotton by breaking off the limbs. seldom ever need the hoe except at thinning time." .

Of course, Uncle Sam's naval gunners must have prac- tice, but 1,OOO,O0O targets do not have to be furnished always.

 $|,043,76O, Last Years Crop Was the Greatest Ever Produced, Excepting That of 1911.


 Washington, June 24.-Final figures of the 1913 cotton crop, lint anc seed, announced today by the census bureau place it as the larg- est the United States has ever grown with the exception of that of l9l l.. At the same time the estimate of me total value of the crop shows it was the most valuable ever produced, l, Icing worth $1.043, ,76O,O00.
 The quantity of cotton ginned from the. 1913 crop, counting round as half bales and excluding linters, was 13,- 9S2,S11 running bales or l4, ,lo6, ,4S6 bales of 300 pounds gross weigh. Cottonseed produced was 6,303,oOo tons, of which 4,579,50S tons were crushed.
 The value of the cotton is est!- mated at $SS7 ,160,000, and of the seed $l56, 6,600000.
 An interesting feature of the l9l3 production was the crop of the Im- perial Valley in Southern California. where .2,S3S bales were grown. It has been reported the acreage plant ed this year in the Imperial Valley will show a large increase, while the 1 :'IOuuCllOl IS val lOuoly ColiiAoISu GU il om 50,000 ot100,000 bales. Last years production. was more than double that of any previous year there, where commercial growing of cotton has been in progress only a few years.
 Another feature was the production ii, Arizona, where 2,2990 bales were ginned, same characteristics as that grown in other parts. The 1914 area iE Arizona shows a large increase variously estimated at from 12,0Oo to 1 +, ,000 acres.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Tie president may or may not be right when he says that business conditions depend on psychological state, but nobody can get away from tic fact that times are. never nard when the crops are good. Psychology nlay have something to do With it or i; may not, but when there is good wheat crop the times are good, The wheat crop is. certainly a good one tits year and the prices have not dropped far in anticipation of the crop. Therefore the chances are very bright for good times. '
 Think what you will of the psychology of business conditions, / says the Atlanta Journal, "one ir- resistible fa.. is throwing the mist with gold there is going to be a wheat crop of nearly billion bush els, and other food harvests are approximately promising. It has been said that when crops fail it ls hard to escape diversity, but when crops are boun(eous it is equally difficult to escape prosperity. Who, then, can doubt the security and cl.eer of the coming autumn?
 "The winter wheat yield Is no longer a matter of speculation. It is a practical certainty, certainty or some 6as,OOO,00O bushels; and the wheat growing states are calling for 100000 laborers to gather this wonderful harvest. Spring wheat is unusually promising, and will pile the total crop to approximately 150.- CO0,00e bushels above the highest record the country has ever known y
 Such an increase, remarks the New York Times, is a sad blow to the vessimists:
 Their indignation grows as they contemplate the excellence of the foreign demand at prices which do not collapse as they ought in the face of such incredible abundance. The reason is that world stocks are lew, and all the talent had sold il anticipation of the good news, with the result that they advanced prices by overselling. The distress of those who thrive in diversity is likely tc deepen as the season advances. It Is unfashionable to be hopeful these days, but it takes invilcible resolu' ton to resist such indictments te optimism as these figures, surpass ing all but immoderate imagination and carrying dismay to those hopins ti.at the worst is yet to come"
 ''The oat crop and the hay crol lave an uncommonly bright pros meet" declared the Journal, "ant though estimates on the corn crol are not yet available, conditions gen clally are assuring. In these cir c.imstances, the outlook for anima products becomes hopeful. Calamit! pipers will soon find that they hav' ncne to dance for them. A natiol whose granaries are bursting is m place for knights of the woeful coun tenance. Abundant crops and abund art money to move the crops inevit atly smell DrOSperity."
