Previous to official notice of what

sensational new skyward flights Of
prices in the corn market had taken
place owing to fneagerness Of readily
available supplies and to prospects
of further wet weather delays to

of progress in field work was found
to have been Exaggerated. inasmuch
as dry weather became the rule where
most needed. Timely arrivals of Ar
gentine corn at New York did much
also to emphasize bearish sentiment
which developed from government
action to lower the cost Of wheat

manned in urgent demand here.
Oats weakened with corn, despite
liberal export buying.

Broadening Market for Cotton.
A number Of factors have contributed

A number OF factors nave contributed
to this weeks further rise in the cotton
market following the advance OF last
week. Among them have been the
broadening trade demand for cotton
goods. with print cloths going up "a to

strength which the Liverpool market
has been showing lately. with better
trade demand developing there from
Manchester and continental spinners.
Middling cotton in that market is now
quoted at 17Ad. with the daily spot
sales ranging up to 5000 bales. A SEN
sational published interview with a
Frenchman who arrived here Thursday
on the alleged enormous purchases OF
cotton goods and other staple products
for France was what really supplied the
impetus to the new speculative buying.

trading for both accounts. Apparently
there were as many arguments for a
