Americans are depending on Coal Con-

ports gathered by the United Press to-
day from all parts of the country re-
vealed widespread confusion In the
coal situation, with dealers predicting
shortage, prices, covering a wide
range and consumers delaying their
winter buying until the government
has had time to act.
Dealers in many instances, declared
the coal situation rapidly growing
worse. due to a bigger demand, a
shortage of labor and railroad con-
gestion.

In New York, dealers said retail
prices were very irregular. There ap-
pears to be an atmosphere Of suspense
and waiting to see what the govern
ment will do. One big dealer asserted
he was flooded with appeals for coal
from all parts OF the east and that he
was unable to supply them.

the streets are more or less deserted,
one beholds squads Of youths in their

destination. Employers conniye at this
exercise, as they think it better for
the young men than spending their

Industrial
Cotton

Although a renewal of October buy
ing by brokers whs frequently act lot
the trade caused early strength IN tne
cotton market yesterday, 1t was uhaoie
to entirely counteract the effects OF
favorable weather and crop conditions
and after the market had sold up 10 TO
IS points on active deliveries it turned
weak. prices at one time in the last
hour being to points under the previ-
Gus close. The market finally rallied a
little and left off steady in tone, with
August 7 points net lower and other
positions unchanged to points higher.
Covering orders were in evidence at
the outset, traders evening up for the
week end, and there was also some
buying for Liverpool and wirehouse ac-
count. The South then turned seller,
which was taken TO mean that crop con-
ditions there were quite satisfactory,
and on the reaction which followed
October dropped from 1898 to $50.
Among the crop influences were TWO
private reports, one of which made con-
dition 71.9 and the other ~. These
tended to strengthen the belief that the
coming government report VIII sho"
material increase over last month, anu
to some extent restricted outside buy
ing in the last hour.
The opinion among traders familiar
with growing conditions in the South
was that occasional showers, with sea-
sonaDle temperatures, will produce the
best results in the next few weeks. The
crop has passed through one critical
month with an actual improvement IN
condition, but, bulls pointed out, is fac.
ing another equally as important, and
that the crops ability to withstand a
dry, hot spell be put to the test, al
though it approaches the month with the
soil in excellent condition, especially
the Eastern belt, after recent extended
rains. Advices from Fall River noted
one of the quietest weeks since last
January, sales aggregating 10000 pieces,
including 10000 spots, while curtail-
ment amounted to 10000.

From Trade Journals
Commodity Prices Yielding

Evidence still appears of reversal
of the position of the wholesale COM
modify markets; 80 declines and 80
advances occurring in this weeks list
OF 1874 quotations. The most signii-
cant feature has been the reactionary
tendency in the metals, with reduc-
tons of 81 to 81 ton in pig iron, fol-
lowing many months Of continuous AMI
rapid advances, and general yielding in
oil material. Recessions also appear in
copper, though spelter, lead, tin and
tinplate are higher than a week ago.
Among other important articles leather
has been conspicuous for its weakness,
nearly all list quotations being revised
downward, and some descriptions of
hides have also gone lower, while
slight concessions are noted in cotton
goods. In foodstuffs butter and fancy
eggs have risen more or less, corn and
oats have become still dearer and ad-
vances have predominated in meats
and provisions. On the other han B.,
vegetables are again cheaper, and cur
rent prices contrast sharply with the
extreme figures named a few weeks
ago. Elsewhere in food products there
was considerable irregularity raw
sugar tending upward and fine granu-
lated downward, while some grades of

In drugs and chemicals and dyestuffs,
such changes as occurred mainly
