Falling Off in Receipts
Brings Gain in Wheat.

CHICAGO, Aug. ga. P.)-Pros-
poets of diminishing receipts had a
bullish influence yesterday on, the
wheat market. Advances in prices,
however. were not we'll maintained,
and the close was unsettled at
the same as yesterdays finish to
3-4 cent higher. with September $1.25
to S1.25 IA and December $1.2S to
s1.2S Ia. Corn lost 3-S and 1-2 to SIS
cent. Oats finished unchanged to is
and IA cent higher, and provisions
varying from 1-2 cents decline to Z
1-2 cents advance
Scantines of rural offerings. togeth-
er with a falling off in receipts here
and at other primary centers, gave
strength to wheat prices. Besides, car
shortage complaints were a handicap
to the bears and opinion became gem
eral that the crest of the after-the-
harvest movement of the winter crop
! had been witnessed. AS the day wore
on, however. disappointment was
shown over the apparent slowness of
export demand. The only foreign bus
mess announced was $4,000 bushels
at the seaboard and 125,OO0 bushels
here. Credit conditions were said to
form the stumbling block in prevent
! ing much larger sales to Europe.
Beneficial rains where most needed
made the corn market easy. Oats raj
led owing to estimates that the do
mestic yield this season is the smallest
since 1911.
Provisions averaged higher with
hogs and because of 100000 pounds
decrease shown in the Chicago stock
of lard.

Cotton Meeting AT Memphis.

A meeting Of the cotton growers OF
the Southern states has been called t.
meet In Memphis on October 18th tc
make plans for the 1922 cotton crop
According to statement made by an
oiicial OF the cotton growers organi.
Sati0n, a movement will be launched
to make further reductions in cotton
acreage for 1922, and we hope that
this movement will have the co-osera
tion Of our Southern cotton growers.
i would be indeed disastrous for tho
farmers who have reduced their cot.
ton acreage this year to turn around
and increase their acreage next spring
and lose more on the 1922 crop than
they have gained on the 1921 crop by
reducing acreage. Many predict that
this will be the case, but we believe
tnat our farmers are farsighted enough
to realize what over-production Or
next years cotton crop would mean to
them. Many have been discouraged
this year by the yield of their corn
and other feed crops, but let us re-
member that this years crop was
planted, cultivated and harvested nm.
DER great difficulties. People werc
without supplies and many were with
out money to purchase supplies and
though It's fact that the feed crops
