Am That Cnuld BE Done.

After this. warns Editor Stafford
in his Easton Transcript, when a
brother who has had a mishap with
his car wants us to stop and help him,
he must have q red light or some
other stopping signal. For one night
this fall as we were coming over the
government hill We noticed car
stopped by the side OF the road
Thinking the driver was in distress
we stopped and asked II they needed
assistance. a young man in the front
seat took his arms from around a
young lady sitting beside him and said
to her: do we need any help, dear?'
She replied. mo. you seem to be de-
ing all that can be done" Hence the
above ultimatum.

COTTON TAKES

Long Sellers, Market

The cotton market quickly recovered
n slight opening decline. and most or
the active months made new h!gh
ground for the movement Yesterday
afternoon on a renewed genera oeI
mand which appeared to be inspired
by reports of a more active spot busl-
ness and a hullish weekly report from
the Weather Bureau. December CON
tracts sold up from 1913, theC low

general list closed steady at net ad-

seemed somewhat disappointing to re-
cont scattering buyers and doubtless
inspired the carly furry Of liquidation.
Owing 10 the unsettled weather IN the
South. local traders had been looking
for very small ginning figures, and the
total reported were somewhat over ex-
Rotations. but not sufficiently so to
influence sentiment as TO the size OF
the crop. and offerings were very well
absorbed at the early decline OF to
points from last nights closing hg-
ures. The firm opening Of the stock
market and the forecast for lower
temperatures in the Southwest doubt
less helped to steady prices. while bull
ish sentiment was encouraged by re-
rorts that some Of the Southern mills
we're showing more interest in secur-
ing their requirements. Trading was
rather quiet, as prices rallied from the
early low level, but following the pub

above the high level of August 30 on
December and later months.
Some further hedge selling Of Octo-
Der was reported during the day. but
offerings of the near month were read
liz taken by spot people against sales
of January at the difference OF about
80 points, which is said to be ample
10 cover carrying charges, and there
was some disposition to reduce esti-
mates of the October tenders. The
Increasing receipts at the ports are eX-
pected TO be followed by somewhat
larger exports. but the situation in
sterling exchange is still against ex-
port business. Exports yesterday
were 6,S21 bales. making l89,0O5 so far
this season. Southern spot markets,
as officially reported, were unchanged
to % points higher. with Houston re-
porting sales of 6.526 bales at an ad-
vance of 10 points. The Census Blu
reau places the worlds consumption
of cotton for the year ended July 81,
1915, at 17,046,000 bales, exclusive of
linters in the United States. The fig
urcs Of European consumption refer
almost entirely to spindleage cOnsump-
ton, and local bulls are adding liber-
ally TO the total for the special uses
of cotton abroad under war conditions.

RECORD WHEAT CROP
AT BILLION BUSHELS
U. S. Reports Bumper Yields of
Nearly All Commodities.

Washington, Sept. S.-Bumper crops
this year. with a half dozen new pro-
duction records, now seem assured.
Basing predictions on a canvass made
on September by its thousands of
agents throughout the United States,
the Department of Agriculture to-day
issued forecasts showing the prospects
of practically all the principal farm
crops except potatoes and rice i'm
proved during August.
The wheat crop is placed at 9S1 ,000,-
900 bushels, 9O,000,000 more than last
years record crop. No change is made
in the August prediction of $4,000, 900
bushels Of winter wheat.
Conditions for the spring wheat crop
have been ideal lately. and thrashing
Giscloses yields above the average and
of excellent quality. As a result of the
favorable conditions the spring whea.
production forecast was increased 49,
100000 bushels, to a total of 322,000,-
600 bushels.
When the final canvass is made the
entire wheat production probably will
reach 100000, 900 bushels.
Corn production prospects increased
67,000,000 during August, the forecast
now being 2,985,000000 bushels. Al
though that exceeds last years crop
by more than 100000 bushels. il
falls 100000 bushels short of the
record crop of 1912.
Indications point to record crops of
rye. barley, sweet potatoes. tobacco,
rice and hay. The apple and peach
crops also are far above the average in
production.

RAILROADS HASTEN
1916 RAIL ORDERS
Production of Steel and Pig Iron
at High Level.

Steel trade publications report sig
nifcant haste among the railroads IN
placing rail orders for next year. The
mills are booked so faI ahead on other
work that early purchasing Is neces-
sary 20 get delivery. Last month saw
the steel plants as whole producing
the greatest amount OF lngOts IN their
history and steel companies turned out
more pig iror than ever before. The
present capacity of furnaces IN blast on
the mrs: of the month was over sl,0OO
tons OF pig iron day. exceeded only
IN two months of 1918.
The iron Age" says:
"a significant turn IN the steel trade
is the beginning of rail orders for
spring r,llng At last the railroads
are impressed with the extent TO which
rail mill space Is being taken up with
war orders for large rounds. The steel

were close TO $4,000 tons a day.
Pig iron production is mounting
rapidly. In August it was 2,719,647

day. Steel companies produced 2,lOl.-
SIS tons of pic iron last month. break
ing all records May. 1913, with 1891
1872 tons, Is the nearest month. On
September the capacity OF the 249
furnaces in blast was 81 ,075 tons day,
h rate "niy exceeded in February and
April, 1913. On August l the 234 fur

me IRON Trade Review" will say:
The most significant development in
the steel market IS the early appear
ance o. rail buying for 1916 delivery
by the railroads of this country. Heavy
steel works operations continue un-
abated aid new high records are being
attained. The Steel Corporation. which
now is running at over 80 per cent Of

largest .onnage OF steel of any similar
period IN Is story. Heavy shipments
in August. together with a minimum
OF effort TO load up with new orders
