NEW ORLEANS. August 2s.-Bulls

on bullish private condition reports and
fresh rains in Texas. The rise was

firm at net gain of % to "a points, or

sion. 1t was an active and excited day
around the future ring, and trading
was heavy.
The opening was at the advance on
good cables; brokers had large buying
orders to fill. some of them apparently
resulting from reports that prominent
private bureau would come out with
condition estimate of under 20 per cent
of the normal, while another bureau
was credited with condition figures Of

Crop accounts again were generally
unfavorable and buying was stimulated
by the storm area appearing over
Texas, bulls making much of the heavy
rains noted at a few points In that
state.

the whole, offerings from this source

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, August 2S-LoWest values
for the crop were registered by wheat
at the opening today. There was
temporary rally on covering by shorts,
but offerings became freer and the
market declined again. closing lrreeu-
lar. u lower to u higher at 97A for
September and 95h for December. Corn,
after a nervous opening shade higher
to IA lower. frmed up on forecast of
unsettled weather in the northwest and
September at 73B and December at
SO 1.a63Ss. Oats. after little early
strength which followed weak open
ing. declined and closed unchanged to

The low prices which marked the
opening of the wheat market was the
signal for a rush Of buying. mostly OH
the part of shorts, who were prompt
ed largely by sharp upturn at Min
neapolis, where mills were buying
heavily. Values here advanced mate
rally, but free offerings brought out a
reaction in little while, weakening
in the northwest markets also being a
factor in the decline here.
The latter half of the session in the
wheat pit was marked by a steady de-
cline News came from the northwest
that country offerings were increasing
and large movement was expected
next week.
The strength manifested by corn in
the first hour continued to the finish
| except for a slight decline after the top
point had been reached. The rally was
quick and decisive. Shorts were large
buyers and acted on forecasts of frost
for northwestern states and on con-
tinued small movements of cash corn.
Oats sagged at the opening to the
| lowest prices recorded by the crop.
There was fair rally on short cover
ing, in sympathy with other grain and
on prospects of unsettled weather. The
close was near the low point of the
day.
There was little business in the pro-
vision market. Pork and ribs showed
| the most activity, but throughout the
list there was declining tendency. -

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, August 2s.-There was
a renewal of the general buying move

vance of % to % points. with Decem-
Der contracts selling al 1920. or about

seemed to frighten some of the early
sellers, particularly as reports that
cotton was selling at tenderable
basis in the south were not accom-
panied by any indication of increased
hedging, and the final squirt of prices
seemed to be largely the result of COW

FINANCIAL-LOCAL AND OTHERWISE.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

The report of the commissioner shows
some peculiar facts, contrary to gen.
of s14,47s,oO0 in the payments of tax
on spirits. while the collections on fer
mented liquors increased over s12,-
100000, but the most unexpected in
crease was in the income tax, where
s8,S09.000 increased payments We're re-
ported, and naturally a general reduc-
ton was expected, as incomes did suf-
fer in 1914-15. Probably the department
has been making forfeiture and back
collections.
Copper Outlook.
Copper has been rather weak despite
the enormous consumption of the metal.
During the summer months the small
producers are working their properties
to their full capacity, and then close
down their mines for the fall and win
ter months In the meantime the
largest buying and storing of copper at
the low prices is being put through by
Phelps. Dodge & Co., and the reaping
of a harvest will start when copper
crosses much higher figures than any
in sight at this time.
British Trade.
It is Interesting to know that Great
Britain's foreign trade for the first six
months of the year 1915. showed an in
crease of f53.ooo.ooO in imports into
the United Kingdom, while the exports
decreased EST 100000.
Quest of Trade Commission.
Under this aption the National City
| Bank of New York, in it's publication,
the Americas. has this to say:
The federal trade commission has

hitting United States manufa cturers
and exporting merchants to get to-
gether in combination for exclusively
export activities. 1t is sending a corps
of special investigators to South Amer
lea. Africa and the far east to find out
just how European ordinations Work
in the neutral markets" when COM
peting with our Industries in selling.
The commission heard much about
how the combinations do their buying
of United States raw products in their
hearings in Boston. New York and in
western cities. 1t found that European
cartels were able to manipulate our
markets in certain materials in such
"A way as to obtain for the interested
manufacturers the supplies they re-
ouire at a cost actually lower. on an
average over several years. than what
our own manufacturers had to pay.
1t has been established as a fact that
the European combinations IN the
chemical industries were in the past
able to WELD enough power even in
our own markets here to repress the
growth of certain important phases of
the manufacture of chemical products
here. 1t is pretty well understood that
the commission itself favors absolute
freedom of cooperation among United
States business interests referring ex-
clusively to foreign trade, and is prob
ably of the opinion that it is now legal
under the Sherman law. The purpose
of the foreign investigation is prob
ably to gather into practical form the
facts about cooperative competition in
foreign trade. for the guidance of
United States business.

Arabic Incident Still Holds
Place as Bio Market Factor

NEW YORK, August 2s.-The weeks
violent revulsion of speculative senti-
ment turned wholly on the Arabic case.
Official pronouncements from Berlin
aroused hopes of concessions to the
demands of the United States govern
ment that would avoid a rupture of re-
lations. The informal nature of the
Berlin assurances and some of the
stated conditions left sufficient doubt
of the final settlement to give pause
later to the rise.
Having retracted practically all of
the decline which followed the sinking
of the British liner, there required also
the question then raised of the over
extension of the advance and of ex-
cesses in war order stocks. Volatile
movements in these issues still were the
feature of the market
