tract for 100000 Bushels for
Early Shipment.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Three hundred and forty thousand
bushels of oats, whocn have been ord
cred from a local firm of grain deal
ers by the French and Italian govern
ments, will be shipped from here with
in ten days.
Grain brokers were inclined to re-
gard as especially significant rumor
to the effect that the import duty on
grain has been reduced 80 per cent by
the Italian government. If such not
able decrease goes into effect, dealers
say, Italians who would otherwise be
debarred will be able to store up great
quantities of wheat and oats.
The final details of the deal were ar
ranged yesterday between representa-
tives of the two foreign governments
and representative of Keusch, Sch
wartz & Co., with whom the order was
placed. The members of the firm be-
long to the Philadelphia Commercial
Exchange. Two hundred thousand
bushels of oats were ordered for Italy
and 100000 bushels of oats for France.

New York to Fatherland By Way
of Italy.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
For the first time this year money
has been sent to New Orleans for the
movement of cotton. The amount was
100000 in gold, transferred from the
subtreasury here to the subtreasury in
New Orleans for the account of the
Guaranty Trust Company.
Transfer of the money at this season
of the year for cotton movement, is
normal, bankers said, and indicated
that cotton was being purchased for
consumption, notwithstanding un-
toward conditions.
Much more cotton than was expected
is likely to be exported, it was added.
Germany is arranging for the pur-
chase of large quantity through
agents in this country The cotton is
to be shipped by way of Italy. AS if in
confirmation of that statement it was
admitted at some of the Italian steam
ship lines that large contracts had
been made for the transportation of
of cotton to Italian ports.

Still PILING UP COTTON
HERE in The Warehouses
No Change in the Situation Here
Today.

Americas is still the Mecca of cara
vans Of cotton wagons, which today
brought in hundreds of bales to be add
ed to those already stored and await
ing some improvement in market con-
ditions. Probably 10000 bales have
been marketed in Americas thus far
this season, and of this amount less
than one-third has been sold. Lack of
demand is the obstacle not few farm
ers would sell at anything like as fair
valuation. Six cents for middling cot
ton and 6 1-2 for the finer grades is
the price quoted today.
