Cotton

A good deal Of attention was paid 70
trade buying Of cotton again yesterday,
and for time IL completely Offset favor
able crop news and gave the market a
firm undertone. October was principally
affected, ard az one time IL was shout
80 points net higher, selling az 24.6l.
Houses connected with japanese inter
ests were the chief buyers Of October,
while English houses sold winter
months, presumably against buying
they have done recently in the South.
The advance brought in more covering
for Wall Street and other accounts, but
near the close, following g subsistence
Of trade demand, a good deal Of realiz-
ing took place and wiped out part Of
the advance, final prices being only 7
TO 81 points net higher, with the tone
barely steady.
Advicss from Liverpool stating that
the British Shipping Controller hoped
10 provide space for the importation Of
10000 bales of new crop American cot
ton each week. while regarded as OF
much Importance, was not altogether
understood, some claiming that IL was
a practical guarantee that a minimum
OF 10000 bales would be imported week
ly, with the possibility that the amount
might run much higher, while others
took it 70 mean a restriction 70 10000
bales Of American cotton weekly in
Lancashire, or about half their normal
requirements, and that the cotton
would be used on government orders
and in goods for home consumption.
Some Of the japanese buying has been
understood to be for mills which have
been getting Far Eastern markets that
were formerly supplied by Manchester.
A number of private crop reports con-
tanned favorable references to the out
look in the Southeast, while exporters
here from San Antonio said the crop
in Texas had been vastly improved by
recent rains. Other advices said IL
would not be surprising to see the next
Bureau report indicate a condition Of rs
or better for Texas, as North Texas and
parts Of Central and East Texas will
show big improvements.
Exports were 5,727 bales, making
5,3el,6 bales so far this season,
against 5,969,74o last year. Southern
spot markets, as officially reported,
were unchanged TO 65 points higher

The representatives OF al our most i'm
portant government Offices, Of the
parties in the Reichstag and Of the Ger
man chambers OF commerce, the cen
tral unions of industry and trade, and
more than thirty trade associations and
over three hundred firms in all parts
OF Germany are occupying themselves
exhaustiveiy with the question what are
the determining factors in the future
politieo relations between
Germany and Russia. Everybody was
agreed that the urgent interests on
both sides will be satisfied BY treaty
OF commerce securing most favored ma
tion treatment, and that the Russians
also cannot escape the same conviction.
!: was observed that in Russia there is
positive hunger for goods which Ger
man industry, in spite Of all other COM
petition, can best satisfy in exchange
Tor Russian raw materials
TIE engineering correspondent Of
The London Times" writes: with
out the help of engineers Of all
branches we could rot possibly have
secured the best equipped army in the
world In equipping this army we
have not only made eeratin OF the ulti-
mate defeat of the enemy in the field,
but, at the same time, there has been
brought about such an effective indus
trial awakening as 70 justify the belief
that we shall be able more than to
hold our own in the commercial bat
ties that will assuredly follow the con-
clusion of armed hostilities. Whereas
before the war our output of steel had
been practically stationary for some
years az about 100000 tons per annun,
the production is now at the annual
rate of 100000 tons, and It will be
100000 tons next year. Such
stupendous increase means that our in
dustrial strength after the war will be
vastly augmented. lt is being effected
largely by the utilization of homo ores.
Nearly 100000 tons Of the increased
total will be basic steel resulting from
the adaptation of old or the starting
up Of new furnaces. In addition, some
millions OF tons OF acid steel will be
annually produced, the Cumberland
hematite ore being largely drawn on
for this purpose. Tungsten, aluminium
and copper will sill be empire produced
as result of the war. Already we
are making here enough tungsten 70
supply all our own needs and most of
the requirements OF our allies. Ths
aluminium output Is up 45 per cent COM
pared with pre-war days, The case Of
copper is still under consideration.
There are vast copper resources In the
empire, but, generally speaking, these
are at present untspped."

Cottonseed Oil Futures-The market for
cottonseed oil was feverish and reflected
feeling Of uncertainty. There was an
early decline followed by a sharp advance,
while subsequently the market closed heavy
with prices net unchanged to 9 points lower.
Total sales for the day we're 35.l00 barrels.
The big discount at which oil is selling un-
der lard was thought to bean argument IN
its favor, and there was some evidence OF
Improvement in the cash trade. At best,
however. the demand was slow and the
trade has been bearishly impressed by the
evidence OF A larger carry-over than had
been anticipated and by the unfavorable
prospect for exports as well as weakness IN
some of the other oils and greases.

Wheat.-The feature yesterday was
an advance of II cents in the July po-
sition in Minneapolis, which served as
a stimulating influence on the entire
market. The advance there, however,
was apparently due TO covering on the
part Of belated shorts, and the July
position moved up TO an even parity
with the cash markets, which was nat
ural with only five days more before
the expiration of July contracts.
The cash position was nrm' put

able emphasis has been placed OF late
on the reports of deterioration OF the
spring wheat crop. 1t is apparent that
the crop in North Dakota and Montana
has suffered quite severely as result
of a lack Of moisture. In Minnesota
and South Dakota the outlook IS stlll
favorable, but rains would be OF beneht
throughout the entire spring wheat re-
