Warm and dry weather prevailed
throughout the week In the cotton
belt. and Il Was evident mt the end
of the period that the crop was do
fS much better as n result, although
the only private bureau report on
condition OF the week put the per-
centage at 65.S, indicating gain for
the half-month OF only is points.
The better weather conditions
Aroused no selling power. while Il
moderate amount of buying was
stimulated by continued complaints
of boil wccvil damage. Increased talk
of abandonment of acreage aud the
bullish twist taken by statistics.
The feature in this direction was
the decrease for the week in the visit
Bile supply OF 1886 bales against
an increase this week last year OF
5o.l?2 bales. bringing forth prcdic
tions that within the next few weeks
the visible supply would be smaller
than II was 4 year ago. AT the end
of this statistical week the visible
OF America amounted tn 5000 64
bales against 3.i52.23l n year ago.
This week the market will open
on Census bureau figures from Amer

raiders OF the stock market hang
their heads in humiliation when they

compared with those OF the United
States government. The cure for The
credit situation Is so simple that IN,
Investment world cannot understand
why the government acts as IL does.
High money rates that have pre-
vailed the last week and promise TO
continue for few DAYS longer. at
least until the government gets its
billion dollars OF income tax. are en-
trcly destructive and serve no useful
purpose whatever
Good Crops. Good Roads, Good signs.
The crop situation continues To i'm
prove. ANA as both parties promise
TO promote good roads, there is hope
that the crops may not only hc ample.
but also can bC brought to market.
Lack OF transportation facilities is
holding several million bushels OF
last winters wheat crop away from
the consumers. The Reserve Board
is seeing 10 it that the unfortunate
owners Of this whca; gets properly
punished with high money rates. The
