when they will be passed upon by Judge

partly because OF the absence of deliv-
cries on the July contracts at Chicago.
The fact that free Argentine offerings
at New York were devoid Of depressing
influence also brought about a demand
from recent sellers. More than a million
bushels OF Argentine corn were offered
here, but no import business was eff
fected. Scattered selling on the Snow
report was readily taken. This authority
placed the crop condition at 1913,
against S5.S a year ago. with the area
said to be increased 1,40O. 900 acres. The
gain was chiefly in the South.
Oats-The outlook for better weather,
hedge selling and the Snow estimate
for a crop OF 1889, 900. 900 bushels,
against LA, 0 10000 n rear ago. were
bearish items, but the market held Arm.
Large shorts and cash houses were
buyers. The export trade amounted to
about 400. 900 bushels. No deliveries
were reported at Chicago.
Observation-Disclosures seemed willing to
absorb offerings. The large deliveries
at Chicago were well taken. LiQuida-
ton was not as heavy from commission
houses as expected.

wheat NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In
huences-Other Markets Hold.

The trend OF wheat values yesterday
was indefinite. Some operators were
satisfied that the weather conditions
had changed for the better, while others
preferred to wait until harvesting opera
tons in the winter wheat region were
further advanced prior to renewing their
operations for another decline in the list.
There was a mixed commission house
trade. and as a result. fluctuations were
quite irregular.
Declines were scored in the market
a. the opening, when the forecast for
clear weather a published and subse-
quently on scattered hedge and bear SELL

out by Snow contributed to the depres-

CROP REPORT FAILS
TO PUT COTTON UP
Acreage Heavily Reduced, but
Condition Figures Show
Average Outlook.
SPOT DEMAND REVIVING

Judging from the action OF the cotton
,,arkc, Yesterday the trade did no re-
,s,ye n bullish impression from the
Government crop report published at 1
o'clock. The reduction in acreage was
slightly greater thar was expected. but
m, sufficiently 30 to inject the element
., surprise. The condition Of the crop
xas slightly better than was expected
and moreover was a trife better than
the ten year average.
As a result of the apathy toward the
hull side. the market made a spas
modic rally of a few points and then
sold of to a net loss Of about 4 points.
Sentiment is bearish and the failure OF
the market to show more strength inten-
s,aed this sentiment.
The acreage and condition figures in
dictate the probability Of a crop around
5000, 900 bales II the Government
acreage figures are correct there Is no
reasonable basis for counting on a yield
~ $4,000, 900 bales when the big reduc
,,on IN the use of fertilizers is taken into
consideration The condition was placed
nj sos, compared with so last month
and 1913 for the ten yea average. The
acreage was estimated at 3l.535.oo0
acres, compared with 37,+06.0 0 last
wear. This is a reduction Of 1874 per cent
The various private estimates which
had been issued placed the probable re-
duction a trifie below Is per cent.
The weather continues somewhat un-
settled, but shows no alarming feature.
There has been a moderate revival In
spot demand. with inquiry probably in.
fuenced by the large spot sales at Liv.
erpool. which have been on the heaviest
summer basis on record. Yesterdays
SPOT sales amounted to $4,000 bales.
1t is not believed that the market IL
now in a position to move sharply either
way. The Cotton Exchange will be
closed tomorrow until Tuesday. New
Orleans also will be closed. but Liver
pool will remain open.
Futures closed easy.
