(By Thomson &c McKinnon) i.

July H.
The government report was not as
bearish as the trade had expected, so a
disposition to cover by shorts and even
to buy for a turn was eyinced.
This hrmness gave way to decided
strength when a repetition of black rust
reports came from the northwest.
Weather reports called for higher temp
eratures the first of the week, which
made this rust talk more impressive
While receipts were fairly good they
met good demand with cash prices to
3 cents higher.
These various items brought about an
advance of about cents a bushel from
yesterdays low, with a firm closing.
The weather will be the all-important
feature for the present, and one must
expect changing prices. While the crop
outlook for corn Is unsmpaired we still
regard sales on bulges as safest
In the oats market the government
forecast report gave bears very little com
fort, the 1,300,000000 bushel crop with
uncertainties ahead yet as regards even
that amount, brought buyers in the mar
ket, especially for July, and this strength
followed by Pa cents advance in cash
oats kept buyers busy In September and
December, which, almost every one ad-
mits. are excessively discounted
We would be careful about making any
commitments on the long side of these
deferred futures on bulges but certain
ly on breaks below so they should meet
with buying ideas.

rae friendly market sentiment that
has recently prevailed does not receive
much support from the weekend trade
reviews. A leading commercial agency in
discussing general business conditions
says that trade and industry are slower
now than at any time since the begin
ming of 1919, and this is accompanied
by a further recession in general com
modify prices.
The percentage Of loss for the past
month. while not sensational, is, never
theless, sufficient to indicate clearly the
trend. In various lines some CONNER
ciaI troubles are developing and in all
likelihood the immediate future will dis
close an increase IN the number of fail
ures, and perhaps in the amount of
liabilities.
Furthermore, the sharp advance in can
rates yesterday had a sort of chilling
effect on the market enthusiast, and we
have had since then a more general dis
position to accept profits and TO re-
duee long lines.
Technically, a change has occurred. The
short interest has. no doubt, been re
duced and long lines increased, which
should result in some irregularity and
possibly further recessiOns, unless the
money market should prove easier this
coming week.

In the Cotton Markets

OF cotton at the opening of the market
today, followed the announcement that
the National dinners association had put
the condition of the crop at I'll, which
indicated an increase of 1.3 over the last

The market was heavily cversOld as
the result of the recent bearish predictions
as to what the national ginners figures
would be, and advanced rapidly on the

represent Wall street interests.

mitted by school pupils by the High

twenty-siX schools participated.
The boys poem, entitled, 81 Have a
Rendezvous With Life."-suggested by
Alan Seegar's famous war poem-fol-
lows:
I have a rendezvous with Life
In days ] hope will come
Ere, youth has sped and strength
Ere voices sweet grow dumb
l have a rendezvous with Life
When Springs first heralds hum.
1t may be I shall greet her soon,
Shall riot at her behest,
1t may be I shall seek in vain
The peace of her downy breast
Yet | would keep this rendezvous,
And deem all hardships sweet,
If at the end of the long white way,
There Life and shall meet.
Sure some would cry It better far
To crown their days with sleep
Than face the road. the wind, the
rain,
To heed the calling deep,
Tho wet nor blow nor space I fear,
Yet fear / deeply too.
Lest Death shall greet and claim
me ere
