of recent years, the margin of de-
crease narrowed somewhat last
week. Thus, an aggregate of ST.
06S,625,000 at twenty cities in the
United States, as reported to Dun's
Review, represents a reduction OF
1877 per cent from the total of a
year ago and a falling off of 17.6
per cent from the clearings of 1919.
During the previous week. how
ever, there were declines of 23.4

Aside from Los Angeles, where
there Is an increase of 90 per cent,
the past weeks clearings are less
than those of last year at every
city included in the statement, with
the centers outside of New York
showing a decrease of 17.6 per
cent. The reduction at New York
Is slightly smaller than this, being
1872 per cent. For October to date,
average daily clearings are 1871

OPENS DRIVE HERE
TO HOUSE GUESTS
Delegates of Patriotic
Groups Expected to Visit
City for Services.

In speaking of arrangements be-
ing made to house the visitors on
Armistice Day. Percy H. Russell,
chairman of the special committee
on housing of the Washington Real
Estate Board. called attention to the
distinction between this special
service and that which has been
carried on by the board in recent
weeks in connection with the con-
ference.
The new campaign for rooms is
for the specific purpose of housing
the guests invited by the govern
ment to participate in the cere-
monies incident to the burial of an
unknown soldier on Armistice Day.
These guests comprise principally
participants in the world war and
representatives of patriotic socie-
ties. 1t has been stated that hold
ers OF the Medal of Honor, one
enlisted man and one commissioned
officer from each branch Of the army,
navy and Marine Corps, as well as
representatives from the American
Legion and other veteran and pa
triotic associations from every State
in the Union, have been invited by
the government. AS the representa-
tves from these different groups
will be the official guests of the
government, 1t is necessary, owing
to the congested condition on ac-
count Of the coming conference
that the government provide for the
welfare and comfort of these guests
While the local hotels have assured
the War Department that 500 can
be accommodated in hotels. the re-
mainder will have to depend entirely
on the citizens to provide in their
homes suitable sleeping quarters for
period not to exceed from Novem-
Der to November IL.
The citizens are requested to ad-
wise the Real Estate Board of their
Willingness to take in one or more
of thes guests for their short stay
in Washington. and 1t is hoped by
the oficials that the charges asked
for this accommodation will not be
exorbitant
The committee has made arrange
ments at the offices of the Real
Estate Board to properly card and
classify all available rooms. The
public Is requested to communicate
direct with the boards offices either
by mail or telephone, and this in
formation, when correctly tabu-
lated, will be turned over to the
War Department for ats use.
Every effort is being made to get
these rooms listed at once in order
that the different guests coming to
Washington may be definitely as
signed locations in order to avoid
at the last minute.

Wheat Drops 10 Cents in Two Days; Present
Yield Greatly Underestimated.

CHICAGO. Oct. 22.-An grains have
sold at the lowest prices of the sea-
son this week, wheat declining 10
cents in two days in the face of the
issuance of the government report
on farm reserves, which was con-
strued in both a bullish and a bear

The Department of Agriculture

year for the first time, and this
year has classified its estimates on
a different and more definite basis
The revision of the 1920 figures
based on more complete data and a
slightly different classification than
last year cut down the farm reserves
from 477.0OO,OOO bushels as given a
year ago. to 447,000,000 bushels

COTTON CLOSES
AT Low FIGURES
Market Highly Irregular, Clos
ing With Decline on South
ern Selling.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-The mar
ket was irregular today with hrst
a decline of about 10 to IA points
from yesterdays closing followed
by a sharp upturn on the usual
weekend covering movement
among the shorts carrying prices
up to IL and Is points over yester-

ment, succeeded by a reaction to
where the market left off yester-
day, mainly from some further
scattered local and Southern SELL
ing There was clearly manifested
a disposition among important cot
ton interests to await next Tues
days official ginning report from
the Census Bureau on the amount
of the crop ginned so far this sea-
son to October IS, to indicate how
much larger the yield is likely 70
turn out than the agrlcuIturas
bureaus statement of October of
u the crop being as low as $751;

figures for the season.
The private report Of the Ma
tional Ginners Association yester-
day made the amount of the crop
ginned as high as 100000 bales
and claimed that this represented
but "a per cent of the total crop.
II its figures are correct the crop
will turn out in all probability
1000, 900 bales larger than the agri-
cultural bureaus indicated crop as
stated above. Therefore there is
little disposition in experienced
cotton trade quarters to materially
Increase speculative or trade COM
mitments on the bull side until this
report is available for further crop
calculations.
Meanwhile II is interesting to know
that the worlds spinners' takings
of. American cotton for this week
are as high as 231,6S4 bales against
10000 last week on the Financial
Chronicles figures, thereby making
their total takings from the open
ing OF the present cotton statisti-
cal year of August l to date 1885,
627 bales against 1,s16.212 the same
time last year. The Census Bureaus
report that we have exported 374,-
900 bales of cotton to Germany
from August to date sPainst 3s5.-
900 to Great Britain, while Japan
has taken about 24U,O00 ba -
against $4,000 by France with
Italy's takings estimated at $4,000
against $4,000 by Spain and the
shipments to China placed at $500
bales against $4,000 to Belgium ana
$4,000 to Holland with Denmark,
Greece and Sweden each taking
about 5000 bales. Our total exports
from August to date are about L.

for the period of about SOC, 600
bales.

season there was a good advance in
prices based on the large export
buying and clearances and the as
sumption that the United States had
200, 900 bushels for export. Since
then there has been a reduction of
100000 bushels in the estimated
crop. Export clearaRces from July
l to the present date are estimated
at 100000, 900 bushels of wheat and
-four. the official figures to Septem-
bier 30 being 13s.s7S.Ooo bushels.
compared with 102,314,0 900 bushels
last year. On this basis there would
be only 100000 900 bushels left for
export and carryover at the end of
the season.
At present there are over 55.0OO,-
900 bushels in the visible supply
alone. This does not include mill or
elevator stocks at a number of &C
cumulating centers. There are 31S.-
UUU UUO bushels on farms and 49,
100000 bushels in country elevators
and mills, making a total supply for
commercial purposes of $4,000, 900
bushels. compared with 6O5,0O0,000
bushels last year.
Present Crop UnderestImated.
On the basis Of 100000 bushels
consumption per month Tor the last
three months the figures show an
estimated surplus for export and
carryover of $4,000 900 bushels, in
the face of exports of 100000
bushels so far this season. The only
way to account for the discrepancy
in the figures Is that the supplies
carried over and the crop raised this
year have been largely sunderesti-
mated. 1t is claimed that there were
between 10000 and 5000, 900 acres
more wheat raised in Kansas and
Oklahoma this year than the gov
eminent figures show.
In the face of fair export buying
and efforts on the part of q number
of strong professional traders to
sustain wheat values hedging pres
sure has offset their buying and de-
pressed prices to the lowest level
in recent years. A great deal of the
hedging pressure has come from the
Northwest, particularly from Can
ada, where the movement is heavy
and the accommodations large. 1t Is
claimed, however that farmers are
storing . large part of the wheat
and are not selling, but evidently
commission men in Winnipeg are
seeing to 1t that the grain is hedg-
ed, judging from the selling orders
that come from that market. 1t is
always necessary to move grain
from the Western Canadian prov
inces as rapidly as possible after
harvest, to get 1t at the head of the
lakes before the close of navigation
So far the movement from Fort
William and Port Arthur has not
been large and chartering of boats
has been slow. There are only
about forty days more of lake navi-
cation this season and stocks at
Canadian ports are plling up
rapidly.
