NEW YORK, August There are
certain times and certain occasions
when a boom in the stock market Is
anything but desirable, when the ex-
traordinarily large dealings in secur1-
ties represent an unhealthy instead OF
q healthy condition of affairs. Under
normal conditions mill1on-share

would be heralded as one of the sure
onens Of financial and industrial pros
perity and success.
Present times and conditions are un-
fortunately not normal Speculation
in war stocks at such feverish pace
that transactions in a single day ex-
coed one an one-haf million shares,
and the prices of industrial shares f1uc-
tate twenty points in as many minutes
does not add to the prestige of the
stock exchange. The activity of the
market in recent weeks has been con-
fined almost exclusively to these war

fortune over night, risks its money on

blissfully ignorant numerous warn

public press, but as yet there seems
no way of putting the brake on this
reckless speculation.

COTTON MARKETS.

Relatively firm cables and the fall
ure of the weather map to show any

the opening advance of some to 10

from northern Texas and southern
Oklahoma. There was a good deal OF

ever. while the buying seemed to taper

and the market turned easier toward
the middle of the session. Some local
traders seemed to think that the west

might turn into rain prospects over
Sunday, while private reports that il
was raining at Wichita Falls, Texas
tended to encourage this view of the
situation.
Buying was not much in evidence as
the market worked of to a shade under

Caring for the Crops.

1t is at this time of year that the
banks have heretofore been called upon
to strain all their resources for the
financing of the crop movement. The
banks in the eastern states have had
to meet heavy demands from their
western correspondents in order to pro-
vide funds for the harvesting ana
transfer of the enormous grain and
cotton crops. The crop financing has
been more largely cash proposition
than any other great national enter
prise. the farmers needing the cash
for paying off their help and for pur-
chasing their many smaller necessities.
1t was then that we realized the in
elasticity of our currency, and the
difficulty of procuring all that was
needed for agricultural purposes.
This year conditions are different.
The federal reserve system has pro-
visions for just such contingencies. and
the reserve board has issued series
of instructions to the reserve banks

boxes of currency to the west and
south, or for making special deposits
Of government funds such as was found
necessary last year. The federal re-
serve notes will be called upon for this
service; they will expand when the
necessity arises and contract and dis
appear when no longer needed. The
new banking system is based on sound
economics and will fill an ever-expand-
ing demand

NEW ORLEANS. August In a
final report on the cotton crop of 1914
IS, H. G. Hester, secretary of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange, shows that
while 100000 bales were grown, the
numerical crop was only 15.10S.111
bales. and that the value of the crop,
including seed. was S749,3s4,97s. as
against sl,134,444.114 for the preceding
crop. AS to how much this falling off
was due to the war and how much to
the fact that the production was the
largest ever recorded, there is consid-
cradle difference of opinion in cotton
circles. n
The crop is spoken of as running re-
markedly even in grade. averaging
rniddling, without a superabundance of
either the higher or the lower grade.
