of retail trade. Buyers are avoiding
the extremes and demanding medium

There is a sellers market for iron
and prices keep firm. Blast furnaces

strong demand for their products
being big incentive to pay well for

Expect Report to Create
Active Demand for Cotton
BY 1. ". SHANNON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW ORLEANS. July 5.-One Of
the first effects of the government
estimate of the cotton crop, issued
Monday, will be to stimulate busi-
ness in preparation for a big fall
trade. The report gave business men
all over the south confidence in sta
bility of prosperous conditions for
the future. The estimate Of about
IL .O00, 900 bales was in line with the
views of the south. and official con-
firmation of these views win un-
doubtedly increase buying. 1t is felt
that the government report will con-
vince the business world of the in
adequacy of future cotton supplies
and create a steady and active de-
mand for the staple at high prices.
Local jobbers are getting more or
ders for fail delivery than ever be-
fore at this time of year and are
making preparations for one OF the
best seasons they have ever had. The
movement Of freight through this
city made a new record last month,
when 1900 cars were forwarded and
$4,000 were received. Lumber led in
the receipts and bananas in the out
going shipments.
The demand for high grade secur.
tiles is one of the marked features OF
the financial situation here. Distri-
button of S10,000,000 in dividends and
interest by local institutions the first
of this month has added to this
demand.
