resting orders to purchase came into
play and there was enough demand
from pit spectators to cause lively

decline here, but the main reason was

a resumption of export trade from
the United States. After starting Nc

Lack of support led afterward to
renewed weakness for a while. The

was a temporary halt in prices, how

grade. The opening, which was &c off
to nc up, was followed by slight de-
preston and later by gains ayerag>

Lightness of country offerings
brought about subsequent additional
strength. There were also assertions
that the British government had
taken all the available oats in Can
ada. The close was strong at to III

to adopt the suggestions of the con-
ference of cotton exchanges recently
held at Augusta, Ga, and date It's
trade year from August ] instead of
September l, beginning with the year
1915. This action is explained on the
ground that new crop receipts during
August have been running heavier
during recent years, as result of in
creased production in the Southwest
and improved ginning facilities.
