The following analysis of the New York

Bryan. their New York. representatives.:
"Unfavorable crop prospects and the
uncertainty of the carriers labor dis
pute, together with the apparent weak
technical position of some of the in
dustrial issues, are the chief obstacles
to investment buying. which is con-
spicuously lacking at the present time
We. therefore, do not think the present

take an aggressive stand on the bull side
OF the stock market"

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. Aug IA demand from local
operators. Wall Street, New Orleans and the West
carried the cotton market to new high levels for
the season today. Initial quotations were about
10 points lower
The buying became more active and general in
the last hour, when many of last weeks sellers
attempted TO replace their lines Offerings were
limited to realizing, with sales wholly inadequate
TO supply the demand and a consequence pices
continued % work mp until January contracts
had touched IA The close was at net ad-
of l5al9 points.

U. S. CROP FACTS
Government Statement Due
Today-Grain Declines 2
Cents a Bushel.
Csy the International News ssrvice)

New York. Aug. 7.-As the govern
morrow, Wall Street did little today
but guess at its agures- Price
changes were not important in any
issue. Grain declined cents a
bushsl, thereby recording belief
that the bad crop report had been
discounted But cotton advanced 81
bale, for the world does not seem
even yet to realize that this country,
according to the government Sport
will produce a million bales less than
the ordinary consumption.
Expectation of speedy settlement Of
the local traction strike encouraged
belief that the big railroad wage dis
puts will be as quickly settled. There
seems no room for argument in either
case. The New York Railways Com
pany and its allies here have been
paying less than the standard wages
for such work. With bonuses going
to officers. it was inevitable that the
men should threaten to strike to get
a square deal.
The extra cash dividend that some
directors of the Union Pacific want to
declare at the end OF this month illus
trstss the situation perfectly. The money
is in the treasury Of the company, the
employees know it Is there, and the direc-
tors intend to pay the extra dividend.
Copper Was better today. The metal was
reported stronger and the stocks showed
some life This was due to reports from
Washington which have been current
several days that President Wilson con-
sented to a reduction of the special tax
on copper in the new tax bill on promise
of Wall Street support
Shorts in nickel got little comfort OF
the reduction OF the dividend from 81 to
a50 for the quarter. The reason this is
not beartsh on the stock Is that the mon
ey Is TO be used constructing an addi-
ttonal reduction plant. The company has
on Its books the greatest volume Of or
ders in its history.
Only two stocks made notable advances
United Extension and Consolidated Gas.
The former is one of the comparatively
new copper companies that has cut, on
its territory. the great veins that have
brought fabulous wealth to Senator
Clark through his Verde Copper Com
Dsny. Gas moved up apparently for no
other reason than that like dozens of
other stocks it has been selling too far
under its intrinsic value.
