Renexes of War

With the decrease in the price Of
silver in recent years the output Of
the metal fell off in Bolivia. As q
result Of the war the price has now
risen. and, arguing that the world
needs both gold and silver as basis
for money, the "Diario" urges edi-
torially that Bolivia should at once
arrange to increase its silver produc-
ton. II further advocates the sneit-
ing of the ore into bars in Bolivia
instead of exporting ii IN the form of
silver sulphide. as heretofore.
New Zealand bank statements for the
first quarter Of 1918 indicate an in

In d.u S trials
Cotton

Favorable weather and crop advices
failed to inspire any selling of conse
quence in the cotton market yesterday,
and there was sharp advance in
prices on covering for over the week
end and talk Of an improving trade de-
mand. Reviews Of the drygoods mar
ket suggested more confident tone,
probably attributable to diminishing
over price-fxing propo-
sails, and the appearance Of buying or.
ders in the hands of spot house brokers
around the ring here was naturally con-
nected with the talk Of an improved
business in goods. There was enough
realizing to cause some irregularity,
but the general tendency of prices was.
upward, the highest levels of the day
being reached in the late trading. oc-
tober contracts sold at PATS, on more,
than So bale above Fridays final
quotation, and the list, closed firm at a
net advance of % to ii points ~ s
The market opened steady at de-
cline OF points to an advance Of IL
points, and sold off slightly right after
the call on the favorable weather map
and weekly crop reviews. Liverpool
was a good buyer of July, however,
while the trade buying of early new
crop months started covering. and the
market soon turned frmer. There was
another setback during the middle of
the morning on the forecast for good
weather over the weekend, but the
offerings were as readily absorbed as
the earlier selling, with the advance en-
couraged by strength in New Orleans
and the failure of the crop news to
bring in any pressure from Southern
sources. Closing prices were only o
few points off from the best under re-
alizing.
The nervousness which had existed
earlier in the week with reference to
price-fxing proposals in the goods
trade appears to have entirely subsidized.
although the plans have not been fully
developed. An increased business was
reported in the Fall River market for
print cloths, with deliveries extending
up to the first Of next January, and it
was considered probable that an i'm
proved demand for goods had led to a
better inquiry from mills for early new
crop deliveries. This may have ex
planned the trade buying noted around
the ring, beyond which the buying was
chiefly attributed to covering of shorts
and lifting the short end Of straddles
in July by houses with Liverpool con-
nections.

Wheat Shortage in New Zealand

According to late official statistics
covering the actual thrashings through
out the Dominion up to March IA, there
were SOL ,s42 bushels Of wheat land
73S, 1921 bushels Of oats thrashed, giving
an average of 1864 bushels Of wheat
and so.sl bushels Of oats per acre
which is considerably below the esti-
mate for wheat especially. 1t seems
now to be generally understood that
the wheat crop will fall about 100000
bushels short Of the sctual home con-,
sumption.

Wheat.-The wheat trade is now
looking forward to new season of in
creased activity. 1t is apparent that
the food administration is going to re-
lax some of its restrictions in regard
to The handling Of the new seasons
crop, and that acertain part Of the
business at least will revert to the
established grain trade. The outlook
for the new crop is especially favor
able and 1t is believed that the Weld
VIII be close to a record one. The
fact must not be lost sight of. how
ever, that we are engaged in a great
war and that conservation Of food
stuffs will have to continue The food
administration has expressed the fear
that the very favorable outlook for
the new season may result in con-
sumers reverting to wasteful use
OF wheat and wheat -four, which will
not be countenanced Big reserves
must be built up, both for home nae zoe
and for export, and in order to ac-
complish this and to make provision
Tor small crop next year the per
crop, and that certain part of the
capita consumption must remain at the
last seasons average, which will neces-
state the extensive use Of substitutes
Corn--The corn market yesterday
again developed pronounced strength
and prices sold at about the high point
OF the week. There was heavy cover
ing on the part of those who sold on
Thursday and Friday in anticipation of
break and there was also active huy-
ing through commission houses on the
theory that values will continue up-
ward, During the last week the mar
ket has experienced an advance of
about 10 cents bushel, making over
10 cents during the last ten DAYS. At
the close of the day reports were re-
celved from Chicago that the food ad-
minlstratlon had made inquiries as to
the source of the buying and was an
parently disposed to discourage over
speculate on the bull side. This
caused some active selling during the
last few minutes of trade. and the
market sold off over cent bushel
from the top, tbut showed net gains
for the day of 2M to 2Hc.

Metals

The supply of steel for indirect gov
eminent requirements is being scaled
In order of preference. Responsibility
to consumers for non delivery is
shifted to the government, and the
manufacturers Of luxuries and other
non-essentials will suffer for time.
About ACT, 900 tons of plates, shapes
and bars for the government freight
cars have been placed, deliveries to be-
gin this month, unless they interfere
with requirements for shipbuilding.
Some large orders for navy tanaers
have also been placed, and inquiries
are in for structural steel for new
ordnance plant and for railroad
bridges and viaducts.
1t is generally supposed that the
tinued during the third quarter,
though there are intimations that tin
plate manufacturers. may request an
advance because Of the high cost OF
pig tin.
Coke receipts are now sufficient and
pig iron production continues steady,
but is still inadequate. The furnaces
accept little new business but some
iron has been placed in the East. In
some instances the government has is
sued priority orders, but 1t is said
these will be limited and that the con-
tractors will have to hn1 their own
iron. II is expected, however, that
some low grades may be svailble for
ordinary purposes later on.
Current prices for the principal
metals, compared with those prevailing
