STOCK MARKET WAS
Dull AND A|MLESS
WITH SLIGHT RISE
Heat Wave Was Main
Factor in Bringing About
Inactivity Among
Traders
By "Hop"

New York, August 5.-Several unusual
factors contributed to the dull and aim
less dealings of the week, foremost
among these being the oppressive heat,
which caused the stock exchange nu-
thorities to suspend the weekend SEES
sion. Advances were the rufe, especial
ly in war shares and other speculative
issues, but improvement seemed to re-
suit mainly from the weakened posi-
ton of the short interest
General news favored the constructive
side for the most part, but events
abroad, especially the latest Russian
crisis and the reported tension in the
British and French MINISTRIES, excited
fresh concern.
There was much earnest discussion re-
garding the increasing gold outflow to
foreign points, chiefly Japan, although
this was counterbalanced in part by mod
crate resumption of imports of the metal
from Canada. Exchange rates on most
of the neutral countries remained ad-
verse to this center until the latter part
of the week, when a sharp readjust-
ment occurred.
Banking interests reported greater eau
ton in various lines of trade but produc-
ton continued at high pressure. The
second quarterly statement OF the Uni
ted States Steel corporation and the Q
per cent dividend declared by the Uni
ted States Alcohol company were the
outstanding features of the industrial sit
uatioi.
The underlying strength OF the invest
n,ent market was indicated by the speedy
absorption of the new Canadian gof-
eminent loan of $100. 100000 two-y ears per
cent notes. Standard railway bonds and
old international issues yielded irregu-
larry, however, to moderate pressure.

COTTON ADVANCES
OVER CENT ABOUND
DURING PAST WEEK
Crop Condition, Consump-
ton Report and Spot De-
mand Were the Main
Features

New Orleans, August 5.-An advance of
over a cent a pound was registered In
the cotton market last week, prices on
the opening session being at the low
est levels, while the highest levels were
reached on the closing session Friday.
From the lowest to the highest there
was rise of 12S to 1876 points and the
net change for the week was an adj
vance of 1oS to 12O points
The July condition report Wednesday,
the heavy southern consumption for the
year just ended and reports of q strong
spot demand developing in Texas We're
the main stimulating features of the
week. The trade expected a condition
report of from Y to 70 per cent of the
normal, and the government put the
percentage at 703, indicating yield of
only 11,94J,GuN bales, which the business
element considered well below the pros
pective wants of the world during the
season to come.
Southern consumption was the largest
on record, 435S, 600 bales for the IL months
ending with July. Bulls considered this
was partly the result of war orders
and partly the result of business COM
ing to this side which was formerly
placed with English mills. This large
consumption emphasized the effect OF
reports Of a growing demand for new
crop cotton in Texas. 1t was said that
the new crop was selling at wide pre-
MUM on contracts.
This week the market will at first
be chiefly concerned with the weather
over the week and because August is
generally regarded as the critical pc
Rod in the growing season.
The spot demand and the export stu
alton will ne closely watched, for at
the end OF last week rumors were cir
culatlng that engagements of ocean
freight room out of gulf ports for 200.-
900 bales of cotton had already been
made for August and September sail

KENTUCKY FARMERS
Get Record Prices For Record Tobacco
Crop.

The Associated press, under a Louis
willie date line, has sent out the follow
ing review of the record breaking tob-
accO crops in Kentucky which are
bringing unprecedented prices this
year:
Kentucky farmers. who raise APP
proximately one-third of the tobacco
produced in the United Stetes and
about one-tenth of the crop produced
in the world. are enjoying the unusul
position of marketing for record
breaking prices crop of almost rec
ord-breaking size.
In addition tc being one of the lsrg-
est crops ever produced in this State,
Kentncky's out put this year is of un-
usual quality. Leaf, Tugs and trash,
so they are called in the Technology
Of the tobacco trade, are of the finest
character. The leaf tobacco is long,
clear leaf which comes from the mid
die of the plant; Tugs are the heavy
leaves, possibly spotted by the soil
which has been splashed on them by
rain, which grow at the bottom, while
trash is made up of small immature
leaf at the top of the plant,
So good has the quality been that
farmers are becoming accustomed TO
receiving proportionately higher prices
for the poorer grades than they do for
the best Those poorer grades are
essential to the production of certain
brands Of manufactured tobacco and
the bidding for them has been keen.
Even frosted tobacco, which in for
mer years sold for / or 2 cents a
pound and was used only for the MAX
ing Of an extract shipped abroad to
be used in terrifying certain sorts Of
foreign tobsccos, are bringing prices
farmers would have been glad to OBJ
tain for trash of the first grade last
year.
Within recent years Kentucky farm
ers have received an average price for
all qualities of white Burley, the back
bone of the tobacco crop in the state,
of about $40 hundred pounds. Sales
on the various markets this year have
been at an average price of SIC to
SIC so a hundred pounds. The crops of
white Burley this year will run well
over 200. 900, 900 pounds.

The RUSTIC And THE EDITOR

The editor Of rural sheet
Now takes his pen in hand.
And from his high-walled brick retres
Just writes to beat the band.
He tells his good old farmer friend
That winters drawing nigh.
That birds Of passage soon will sing
Their flight across the sky.
He gives him tips and sage advice
On how to SOW and reap,
On how to put away his ice.
Or bed his hogs and sheep.
He tells him how to feed his hens.
And other things to do
That they may keep on laying eggs
The whole long winter through.
The farmer sits beside his fire
OF hickory and beech.
And siyly winks the other eye
TO hear such idle speech,
Along the even tenor of
His way he goes. but when
He notes that his subscriptions out
He just renews again.
