serted that since most of the road

as King county, according to senate
bill No. 16, introduced by Senator

SO. Every member present voted for
the bill except Dan Landon, who OBJ

Strength Developed In Wheat Yesterday
 on New Credit Rumor
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 16.-Wheat de- veloped little strength today, helped by word that a new German credit was being arransed. The market
 closed unsettled. at the same as yes- terday's finish to % c higher, with De- cember s1.29@129A and May s1.S3@
 1888. Corn finished unchanged to Ac lower and oats unchanged to F C
 higher. In provisions there were net
 gains of 21z e 200.
 At first the wheat market showed considerable weakness owing largely to a sharp break in sterling exchange. Complete ending of the Argentine drouth counted also as a bearisb fac
 tor, and so, too. did an apparent lull in export demand. Later. however,
 sterling turned upward again and more confidence in the foreign finanr I cial outlook was shown, especially after information was received which gave some promise of better business | conditions in Germany Bullish sen 1 timent was fostered likewise by ad- vices which emphasized rain damage i to wheat in shock northwest. It was | said arrivals at Minneapolis were damp and lacked quality, and that
 millers were becoming active buyers at Kansas City. Estimates of farm holdings of winter wheat indicated
 that only small amount remained | to come forward in some sections. Corn was easy throughout the day, che bulk of the crop being safe rom frost Prospective better export | trade tended to strengthen oats. Higher quotations on hogs gave a | lift to provisions.

Trade Improvement Shows c Widening
 Circle In All Reports
By Associated Press

New York, September 16.-Brad- street tomorrow will say: A widen ing circle of improvement in trade and industry is reflected in re- ports. Part of this, for instance. the generally more active condition of jobbing distribution, south, west and east, seems along more or less strict fly seasonal lines, the apparels trades 'bulking large in this direction
 The better tone of the building and related trades. notably lumber and hardwood, and the cheerful trend of advices for iron and steel and their subsidiaries, notably coke making, are, however. not necessarily season. able features. The former is a re- flection of the growing activity, aid- ed by settlement of many strikes in construction lines due to the pressure for new housing, while the strength in iron and the slight but apparent ly significant advances in steel, cop per, lead and coke, are regarded as evidences of the increasing exhaus- ton of stocks on hand of some of those metals.

Volume of Business
 In Cotton Trading
 Has Been Very Good
By BRIGGS
By Assnciated Press

New York, September 16.-The in. tense excitement and activity which followed the publication of the end august crop figures and which was revived by the Texas storm news of last Saturday, has been eraduallv subsiding during the past week. There has been a continued good vol- tune or business, but it has probably been largely due to the eveninp-nn ol commitments entered into when ,he extreme was at it's height, and re- eeia.eo reports of further crop de- terloration or forecasts of low end September condition figures have failed to stimulate much fresh b,,y- Ing. Under these circumstances local operators have been more disposed eo einpnaslze reports that goods buy oiS were unwilling to place forward oi uers freely at higher prices or other less favorable features. and to- ward the end of the week the smaller Noiume Of business suggested dis position 10 await developments in the SoouS Lraue or southern spot mar nus MUS iraners have pointed to the larger spot sales of recent advances as indicating disposition to supplv buyers on the upturns, but thev feel that they have yet to determit whether spot holders will withdrew lnelr offerings or continue to sell on declines. A continued fair spot business has been reported in inc Liverpool market, and it is reported that ocean freight room for about 4eV,O0 bales has been booked for shin ments from Galveston to France and the continent between now and the cno or the year. This is regarded as pointing to liberal export move ment, but the unsettled ruling of con tinental exchange rates has had rather an unfavorable influence and promoted reactionary sentiment fol- lowing recent excited advances
 The Texas storms are supposed to have caused some loss of cotton. dam age to grades in the southern and central parts of the state, but to have revived top crop prospects in other sections, and weather condi- tons otherwise have been regarded more favorable during the week. Pri- Vate reports have pointed to deteri- oration of between 9 and 10 points ia the condition of the crop. which would mean a further very, sharp re- duction in the indicated yield at the end of this month The census report showing domestic consumption of 467,103 bales for August compared with 410,120 for July was considered in line with reports of increased mill activity, but had little influence on the weeks markets

COTTON DECLINES
 WITH DECEMBER
 SELLING AT 19C
General List Closed Easy at a Net Drop of Fifty-two to Fitty-seven Points
 on the Day.
By Associated Pres.

New York, September l6-There were further declines in the cotton market today with December con tracts selling off to 19c and closing at that level compared with 19 o2c at the close yesterday. The general market closed easy at a net decline of 52 to 67 points, making losses of about 200 to 2S3 points as compared with the high prices touched on the storm news of last Saturday.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of 10 to 30 points on easier late cables from Liverpool, scattering liquidation and southern selling. There were rallies of some 15 or 20 points shortly after the call on ru- mors of low private condition figures. including reports from New Orleans that an association of growers made it only 3S.5, indicating a crop of 6,4O0- 900. There was also some buying on bullish spot advces from the south west, but the bulge met increased offerings, with the market soon be- coming nervous and unsettled, Breaks of 4S to 5S points from last nights closing figures were checked by covering early in the afternoon. Otherwise there appeared to be very little demand. however, and the fail ure of unfavorable crop figures to stimulate more buying, probably en- oouraged the afternoon selling Much of the pressure was attributed to the liquidation of scattering commission house accounts and increased south ern selling also was reported on the late break to 1S. .67c for October and 1S.S for January.
 These prices were within 30 to so points of the lowest touched since the advance on the end-August bu- reau eliminated at 2l 75c for Janu ary contracts on September '. Re- ports from the goods trade indicating that buyers were unwilling to place contracts for forward deliveries of goods at higher prices were consid- cred one of the factors on the decline. The days weather map was consid- cred favorable and reports of inn proving crop conditions in north and northwest Texas were received dur ing the day.
