Cl more. railroad stocks continue
be most in favor, for the reason
that their position is believed to be
sounder than that of the industrials.
Moreover, as often before noted. the
supply Of railroad shares is always
limited. owing to the fact that there
has been no great increase in capi-
tai issues for a long time. whereas
many of the industrials are as yet
comparatively new and have not
been fully absorbed and digested.

farmer customers in q position to
liauidate a goodly portion Of the
advances and credits made during
the war-boom period. The conver-
sion Of their clients wheat into
dollars will mean a sharp impetus
to business all over the Northwest

I'm the mercantile centers OF the
Twin Cities and cities further east.
Railways Helped by New Crops.
The railways have already begun
to feel the effect of the satisfact6ry
crop returns. Hundreds OF men are
returning to work in the shops Of
Northwest railroad centering here.
II is unquestionsbly true that the
transportation lines are soil in dire
need of greater revenue but the re-
turns for June were decidedly more
favorable than those for the ear
lier months of the year, and all offi-
cials are confident that the autumn
traffic. with tbe crop movement as
the principal item of increase. will
20 far towards restoring the rail-
way lines to a healthy plane.
The crop movement will begin
this year considerably earlier than
usual. owing TO the advanced sea
son. Throughout the Northwest
the harvesting Of wheat. oats, bar
ley. and rye is on in full swing and
in many sections IL is entirely com
pleted. In all this part of the
the Northwest and south of here
small grains are shocked or in
stack or on their way to the eleva-
tors from the threshing machines.
Seldom have harvesting operations
proceeded under more favorable
weather and labor conditions, and
this in itself is a most helpful fac
tor.
Good Prospects for Corn.
Meanwhile. the corn crop looks
decidedly good. Almost without ex-
ception the areas Of the Northwest
devoted TO this grain areI in first
class condition, and there Us every
prospect that the well filled ears
will be fully ripe before there is
4 any danger FROM frost-a factor
which has to be reckoned with US
ually in these Northern States
On the whole then, the spring
wheat States have much to be
thankful for. and while the yields
this year will hardly make a big
profit for their growers. they will
go far towards liquidating the i'm
mense debts incurred in past years
and putting agriculture and busi-
ness on a healthy foundation for
THE years just ahead

PROFIT TAKERS
BUSY In. COTTON
Beneficial Showers in Texas
Offset Undesired Rains in
Other Areas.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-There was
a continuation OF yesterdays profit
taking movement among local trad
ers on the opening of the market
this morning. Prices went off to
to 10 points from 1t in the first
half hours business, with October
going down to 1S.45c. December
1s.77c. January 137Sc. and next
March deliveries to 1880. Some
beneficial showers in Texas and the
central part of the belt, relieving
the very high temperatures there OF
the last few days, acted as an Offset
to some further undesired rains In
the southeastern part of the belt
and caused this selling movement.
1t was checked, however, by the
appearance of renewed good trade
buying both in October and Decem-
ber contracts and also a resumption
of speculative purchases by focaf
trade and Wall Street commission
houses. 1t is estimated that some
of the big shorts covered about 5o'-
600 bales of short contracts in the
late trading of yesterday, and that
there was some further covering by
those interests today. = These de-
mands turned the market up at the
end of the hour to IS points ad-
vance from the early low level for
October and December. while Janu-
ary and March recovered to an eN-
sold at 1880, December 1850
January 1880, and March l4.loc
thereby coming within few points
of equalling the high prices reached
on the bulge Of early yesterday
afternoon, which were the highes
levels for several months. The way
the market continued to absorb the
profit-taking sales by recent bulls
and further hedge selling on SourH-
ern orders made most local traders
rather bullish in connection with
the further bad crop accounts with
which the market is being flooded
from many points in the South.
Boil weevil damage in the recent
past. and reports Of a great deal OF
shedding of bolls caused by sudden
high temperatures, are having the
effect of giving the bulls their
chance. There is. however. a dis
tinct improvement to be noted IN
the reports from the dry goods dis
tricts. They show a much better
demand rather generally for all
kinds of cotton goods and a harden
ing tendency to prices. The weather
predictions were for unsettled and
showery weather for all of the
eastern half of the belt tonight and
tomorrow, with somewhat cooler
temperatures. The Liverpool. mar
kets were closed today, as they al
ways are on Saturday, but notwith-
standing this some Of the houses
here with Liverpool connections
were good buyers of contracts In
the market on arbitrage account in
anticipation of higher prices for
both spots and futures at Liverpool
on the resumption of business there
Monday.

There are indications that the
period of steady price decline has
changed to a period OF more stable
prices which may result In advances
as the season proceeds. A number
of lines have apparently turned the
corner and will either remain fairly
stabilized or improve slightly during
the next few months. ~,
The wholesale price index of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics for all
wholesale prices dropped from Isl
to 14s from May to June. Chemicals
and building materials showed no
change, while all other groups de-
clined--the largest being house fur
nIshings, which dropped from 2ss to
ESQ. Taking the 327 commodities in
cluded in this survey as a whole, 136
decreased in price, while 70 in
creased, and 112 made no change.
This means that the decline has
ceased for 1s1 commodities 'or over
half of the total number. Last month
los made no change.
Judging the situation by another
index, that of Bradstreet. we find
that the July Is index was little
higher than that Of July I. but the
gain is SIGHT. OF the total of sew
enty-nine articles. forty-four re-
mained steady, while twenty-one ad-
yanced marking an absence of de-
cline in sixty-five of the seventy
nine.
A worldwide survey of an earlier
date shows the same retardation of
the movement toward lower prices
and indicates that the movement to-
ward a stable basis is not local.
Just where the new level will be-
come fairly well defined is not yet
clear because of the wide differences
in the relation of present price to
the prewar level. For instance, ac-
cording to the Department of La
bor's figures. two groups of pro-
ducts are still over 200, compared

WEAK UNDERGONE
TO GRAIN MARKET
Prices, However, Fail to Get
Below Inside of Previous
Quotations.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-while wheat
prices failed to get below the inside
figures of yesterday in the early
trading the undertone was not very
strong, weekend evening UP and
strength in Winnipeg being respon-
sible for some degree of steadiness
although the pronounced weakness
in coarse grains led to some pres
sure at times. Houses with seaboard
connections were moderate buyers.
but the outside interest was light
Strength in Winnipeg was due to
unfavorable crop reports and TO con-
firmation of claims of heavy damage
in some sections of Saskatchewan by
storms Thursday night. LeCounts
report from Stoughton. Sask., was
regarded as bullish. but the local
market is little affected by the crop
news as it fails to bring in buying
orders of consequence. Export de-
mand is spasmodic and was>reported
and slow early today. Messages
from the interior indicate that the
country has about ceased selling all
grains as the result of the recent
sharp decline in prices, and some
let-up in the movement is anticipat-
ed unless there is a substantial
rally. Mondays visible supply
statement is likely to show a heavy
increase.
September and December corn,
September oats, and December rye
sold at a new low on the crop today,
with September and December corn
at the same figures for a while in
the pit against y cent discount Tor
the September yesterday. The ex-
port demand for corn is very brisk
and heavy shipments are being made
from here and from the seaboard.
Crop reports on the whole were
favorable, and with the prospect OF
a fairly liberal crop following fas'
years big yield, sentiment is in
clined to the bear side. The oats
markets is affected by the weakness
in corn and by scattered liquidation.
Government report wilr be issued
Tuesday.
Provisions were somewhat hrmer
as the result of buying induced by
an advance of 10 to is cents in hogs
with lilo paid at the yards for the
best. Receipts were 5000 with $4,000
for Monday, and 115,0o0 for all next
week. Latter will compare with
10000 last year. Western run for
the week 422,000 against $4,000 the
