American Machine in Test

Low Costs.

The possibilities for the sale of
American pumps in India, where at
least 100000 acres are irrigated
from about 100000 wells. not to
speak of large areas irrigated from
tanks and canals are shown by some
figures just received showing the
results of some tests carried on at
the request of Trade Commissioner
c. c. Batchelder. Most of this irri-
cation is carried on with primitive
contrivances operated by men or cat.
tie, and but few pumps either
worked by hand or by power are
used.
A sAinch American pump OF the
type often used to pump out cell
lars, worked by four men in relays,
lifted water at the rate OF 2.2o0
gallons an houL at a cost Of 9 ru-
pees (normL value of rupee, 81
cents) a day, while IL took twelve
men six days to lift the same amount

pliances at a cost of 36 rupees. A

CARSOUT OF use
Increased Demand from Cen.
trail West to Move
Grain.

Freight cars temporarily out of
service due to the business depres-
sion totaled 555,16S on July %, ac-
cording to reports just received from
the railroads of the United States
by, the car service division of the
American Railway Association. This
is a reduction of approximately TO-
900 since July Is.
Reports show that surplus cars
on July % numbered 350,772, which
was a reduction OF 21.27S cars COM
pared with the total on July Is.
This reduction was due principally
to the increased demand in the Cen
tral Western region for grain cars
Surplus box cars totaled lis, ,442 cars,
which was decrease of 1S,1s1 COM
pared with the earlier date, while
surplus, coal cars were reduced 81
o4s to q total of 16s.5ss. Surplus
stock cars fell of SIS during that
period. SO that on July 2s they num-
bered 1921.
Reports from the Central West.
ern region show that the decrease
in the number of surplus cars re.
ported in that territory was not OF.
set by any increase in the number
of cars needing repairs, but that
the freight car situation in that
part of the country has taken a
turn for the better.
Due to the demand for grain cars,
a shortage of 2,76s freight cars was
reported to the car service division,
of which $500 represented box cars.
This was an increase of 1900 over
the total shortage reported on
July Is.

Rubber has the distinction of hav-

by q temporary revival With crude
rubber prices now around Is cents

Receipts Continue Large, But
Crest of Wave Is
Over.

\ CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Weakness pre-
vailed in the wheat market, with
prices at the inside showing to
N cents under Saturdays finish.
Hedging sales and lack Of export
demand was a factor, as was the
weakness in coarse grains. Receipts
at the leading winter wheat mar
kets continue immense, Chicago. st.
Louis and Kansas City having 2.663
cars, but consignment notices in the
Southwest have fallen of sharply,
and many in the trade believe that
the crest of the movement has been
witnessed.
Famine news from Russia has had
little or no effect on the market.
due to financial conditions and the
weight OF the big movement of cash
grain which calls upon the mar
ket to absorb big hedging sales at
a time when there is a lack of spec
ulative interest. Sentiment gener-
ally is bullish as to the ultimate
trend of values, although Temporal
rily a majority Of traders look for
lower prices.
Crop reports from the spring
wheat territory were mixed. A big
increase is expected to be shown
in the visible supply. Coarse grains
showed a decidedly heavy undertone,
with corn OF over 1 cent and oa,s
around cent, with cash houses
on the selling side. Receipts Of
both grains were more than ample
for all requirements. No rains of
consequence fell where most needed,
although the forecast was for gen.
orally unsettled weather. The cash
corn basis was about unchanged,
with contract grades i to u ceht
over the September. Receipts Of
oats were estimated at 800 cars
at Chicago, with practically all Of
the new grain grading No. 8 and
No. 4, there being a liberal number
testing around 25 pounds Der bushel.

NEW YORK, Aug. AFTER a full
week of steady and substantial
gains on top of about FIVE weeks u
more modtrate appreciation, bonds
went through today's session with
but few important changes. The
one class that continued to advance
was that represented by railroad
convertible bonds which followed
the upward trend Of stocks. South
ern Pacific convertible 4s went up
to 81, compared with s0k at the
close on Saturday. Chesapeake and
Ohio convertible 4hs sold from
7TS to 7Sk and Baltimore and Ohio
AVS from T02 TO al.
While the volume Of trading was
smaller. there was still a substan-
tial amount Of business done. but
demand and supply were SO evenly
matched in most issues that few
changes occurred. The French gov
ernment 71s, for instance, were
quite active, but moved over a mar
row range between s7H and Sc,
compared with s6k at the close
Saturday. Canadian 5Hs advanced
a quarter point to 80. Canadian

NEW YORK. Aug. Prices for
cotton contracts made an exsreme
advance OF between 30 and IS
points over Saturdays closing quo
tations on q general buying move
'ment for both long and short ac-
after the governments monthly
crop report was announced at noon
our time. II continued with hardly
an interruption until o'clock. By
that time October contracts had
gone up to 1905: December. 1850:
January. 1886, and next March de-
Iiveries to 1882. There was a good
deal OF covering Of shorts on stop
orders n the scale up for local and
Wall Street traders. Their buy
ing with a good deal of, covering OF
hedge sales put out last week by
local spot houses and Liverpool
turning up q good buyer helped to
make the high prices. The Liver
pool markets were closed on ac-
count OF the day being observed
there as the usual midsummer bank
ing holiday. which Is always the
case on August !. When the Liver
pool trade got the gist of our gov
ernment's report, large buying or
ders were received from houses
there and at Manchester. which
had kept open to receive the report
in anticipation of a sharp rise in
prices developing on the Liverpool
market when business is resumed
there tomorrow in following the ad-
vance here which reached a maxi
mum OF nearly / cent a pound or
IS bale.
There was nothing else on the
market but he governments report.

tiers of S.2o3.o00 bales against the

supplementary statement issued in
connection with todsy's report says
the crop has suffered more than the
usual decline in condition in July
through being damaged by the
spread Of The boil weevil. This
pest has recently invaded territories
in South Carolina and Eastern Geor-
gia. thereby now covering practi-
cally all OF the cotton belt except
North Carolina in its movement
since it first developed some years
ago in Southwest Texas
The estimate surplus of American
cotton heins carried over into the
new cotton statistical year which
begins today Is about 100000 bales
with 100000 of this believed to be
very low-gr4ie cotton. It now re-
mains to oe seen what kind OF
weather the crop will have during
the month Of August and early
September. during which period the
great bulk of the crop is made or
marred.
