Cotton.

Cotton.-Prices went TO new high
levels in yesterdays cotton market.
Such reactions as occurred during the
course of the trading served to bring
in new buying. May contracts went
as high as IS cents. October closed al
14.21 after selling up to 14.4S. Janu-
airy touched 1916 and closed at l4.6o.
The opening was steady at an advance
of point to a decline Of z points.
Toward the middle of the forenoon
prices dropped 10 to 10 points. De-
spite no apparent change in the char
acter of the news prices turned up
ward, and as soon as the recovery set
in the buying broadened. At the top
the principal contracts were around
80 points above the early lows. The
trade now seems to be paying most
attention to the indications OF u short
crop and a large consumption. Inc
Liverpool market was generally strong.
The cables reported liquidation at the
start, with frmness later on buying
for Manchester and Continental ac-
count. Commission houses were sell
ers at the opening here, while houses
with Southern connections and room
traders took most Of the offerings.
Predictions of continued dry, hot
weather in Texas and Oklahoma and
prospects of further rains in the East
ern belt were the factors on which the
bulls based their aggressive buying.
British trade arguments were also ad-
vanced 10 the effect that spinners were
selling their production far ahead with
out covering their raw cotton require
ments.
Additional end-season figures from
New Orleans place Southern mill
stocks at the end of July at 721,OOO
bales, against 651 900 last year, but the
carry-over at counted and uncounted
interior towns and plantations at only
$4,000, against $3.50, 900 last year. Ac
cordng to these figures the CONNER
cial crop for the season was 12,93S,OOO
bales. Early in the afternoon private
advices from Chicago reported rain
fall ranging from IA to 1.44 inches at
eight Oklahoma stations.

Cereals.

Wheat.-Lower cable quotations had
a depressing effect on the wheat mar
ket. Accompanying cable advices tend
ed TO increase bearish misgivings that
the United States government report
would not confirm extreme estimates
of damage done TO the domestic crop.
The bulls were also handicapped by
word of beneficial rains in Argentina.
Opening prices, which ranged from
5tG%c to 111c lower, with September
at SI31R6S1.32 and December at
S1.35nMS1.36, were followed By q mod
crate additional setback.
A wheat crop of 654,000,000 bushels,
as forecast for this years production,
would amply meet the cOuntry's re-
ouirements for home consumption,
which Department of Agriculture ex-
merits estimate will be about 620,O00000
bushels. That would leave 34,000OOO
bushels available for export, without
taking into consideration this year
unusually large carry-over OF old
wheat was some 75,OOO,OOO bushels
more than the average.
The corn crop. estimated at 2,7TI-
600 600 bushels, while 100000 bush
els less than forecast last month"; Is
AZ 600 600 bushels more than the aver
age of the preceding five years. Corn
has been damaged by drouth in large
norton Of the belt, particularly in Ok
iahoma. Kansas and Missouri. and the
CROP was more or less critical IN many
sections. Continuation of the drouth
would seriously injure the crop:
REPORTS of liberal export business az
the seaboard and at Winnipeg helped
later to bring about an upturn. BE,
sides. advices from Canada indicated
that black rust danger was becoming
worse. The close was firm. 14c TO sc

Metals-Joplin reported that zinc ore
is So lower at s50@S75 a ton for va
rious grades. Production Is only half
compared with three months ago. Con-
ditions are getting back to normal and
temporary working of lean ore bodies
and low grade ore is ceasing to be prof.
table, though wages have been greatly
reduced. Future production will neces-
sarily be from mines yielding at least 3
per cent ore recovery. Prices IN the
local market are steady. Copper con-
tinues to hold firm. Most of the trans
actions at the present time are for
October November December delivery.
Transactions are understood to be run
ming on a par with the previous week.
August and September copper is very
scarce and sales are reported where
buyers had to pay premiums for the
metal. Foreign inquiries for large
tonnages Of last quarter delivery cop
per are fast materializing, and 1t is
expected that they will soon exceed do
nestle demands. Emphasis is laid on
the fact that large domestic manufact-
urers will be hard put TO contract for
last quarter deliveries at current prices
unless they enter the market in a day
or two.
Prices current for a few of the prin-
cipal metals and metal products, COM
pared with those prevailing at the cor
responding time OF last year, follow:

A MiIler's Trust in
the Lords Averages

From TIE Northwestern Miller.
1.-THE Northwestern Miller" annually
undergoes a certain amount Of reproaeh
from nervous members Of the TRACE be-
cause it refuses to get excited over the
condition Of the growing wheat crop.
For the cheap and evanescent notori-
ETY. which comes from the dissemfna-
ton of sensation kilograms, beginning
"'The Northwestern Miller says" this
! journal does not care a rap. 1t has
never sought the doubtful honor Of be-
ing considered an authority by those
who deal in options, nor does it desire
to be quoted in press dispatches as
furnishing material by which the mar
ket may be influenced.
Recently the damage to the crop OF
South Dakota caused by rust has re-
ceived attention out Of all proportion TO
its relative Importance. No doubt the
crop in that state has been badly hurt,
and those having mills or elevators
therein are with reason concerned
about it. Last year South Dakota
raised 64,OO0,0OO bushels of wheat,
nearly double the previous years crop
and exceeding by some 100000 bush
els the largest crop ever raised in that
state.
For nine years the average wheat
crop of South Dakota, including last
years unusual one, was only 4O,OOO,OOO,
and FIVE years ago the crop was only
5000, 600. Therefore, If the damage
this year should even be so per cent,
the South Dakota crop would stlH oe
not far below the nine years average.
No one seems TO worry very mucn
about the condition OF Mlnnesotas
wheat crop, although, for the same
period, the average was over 90 per
cent larger than that of South Dakota,
while that OF North Dakota was $1,000
coo bushels, more than 100 per cent
greater than that Of South Dakota, by
far the least important as a wheat
grower of the three states.
SO far as millers are concerned there
/ is no occasion TO worry so long as the
entire wheat crop is ample for their
purposes. A very large crop does not
necessarily mean one that is profitable
to handle or that will make the best
/ -four Invariably there are compensa-
lions with almost any kind of crop,
and very frequently the dark cloud of
reduced yield is found to have silver
| lining of increased profit.
After all, it is much better 10 take
the annual crop raising period calmly
and philosophically. In the first place,
it does no good TO worry about it or TO
become excited over the prospects. The
Lord will provide; he always has, and
He always will. If the wheat crop be
less than usual, the price realized for
it probably will be better. II its quail
ity be lacking in one element, il prob
ably will excel in another. The law
of averages, not TIE rule of exceptions,
is TO be depended upon, and ne that
worries the least has the clearest mind
with which to meet his problems when
they come to him.

the opinion Of c. n. Power, Of Pueblo,
Col. who to-day addressed the con

"ten-cent loaf and why"
Efficiency, declared Mr. Power, de-
manded the baking Of ten-cent loayes,
rather than the fve-cent size. lie es-
timated the cost Of baking one thous-
