A BovE are shown the states where, "A in general way, farmers may
 be expected to prosper most this year by comparison with 1923. The map is based upon estimated gross cash incomes.
 The greatest increase in returns over a year ago will probably occur in the states comprising the so-called wheat belt, principal among which are the Da- kotas, Montana, Nebraska and Kansas. The cotton states are likely to fare next best, while other groups Of states will for the most part do as well as in 1923.
 In the wheat belt, according to esti- mates made by the Howard d-Mo Moorhouse agricultural service upon which the above map is largely based, the in- creased returns by states in the wheat belt promise to be as follows: Mon tana, 15 per cent; North Dakota, 3S per cent; South Dakota, per cent; Me-

STOCK LETTERS
By HOP

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-According to the methods of operation heretofore pur- sued by the bearish element, there would have been no surprise if they had again offered stocks. freely this morning; but evidently they gave the matter further thought, and, instead of increasing com mitments, they began a covering move ment, which encouraged resumption of buying by the public as well as by that portion of professional element who entertain friendly feelings toward the market. We cannot understand by what process of reasoning any one should take a bearish position in the stock market at this time. One of the fundamentals of speculation Is that the market is always endeavoring to anticipate a coming change and to dis count the value in advance and does not concern itself with matters that are already accomplished and which are ap- parent to all.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-The upward trend was resumed in today's market and prices closed fairly active and strong with most leaders at or near the days highs. Several issues, such as Central Leather preferred, Texas Gulf Sulphur, International Business Ma chine, General Asphalt, Kennecott Cop per, Railway Steel Spring registered new high price levels for 1924. A re- port regarding Endicott Johnston, at the present time operating at 90 per cent capacity, a German inquiry for twenty million ounces of silver and several favorable statements of earn ings were the outstanding news fea- lures. The London conference also provided a number of conflicting re- ports regarding the progress of negotia- tions now under way. The consensus of opinion, however, was that most of the hurdles have already been passed and that complete agreement may be expected at any time. During the final hour the market encountered some profit taking, but all of it was easily absorbed without material recession.- Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-15

braska, 10 per cent; Kansas, 29 per cent. In the cotton belt this service estimates the increased cash returns over 1923 will be: Georgia, 46 per cent; Alabama, 26 per cent; Mississippi, 37 per cent; Tennessee, 10 per cent; Louis jana, per cent; Arkansas, S1 per cent; Oklahoma, 29 per cent: It is predicted that some loss will occur in the Carolinas and Texas, which last year had large crops that sold at good prices.
 The corn states are not likely to ex- perience considerably increased aggre- gate returns, since higher. prices will probably be offset by lower crop yields. Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico, de- spite the poor cattle situation, promise to fare well, because of large wheat and cotton crops. 5f
 Taken all in all, the farmer stands to collect a quarter of a billion dollars or so more for his 1924 crops than he realized in 1923.

STOCK AVERAGES
 CLIMB UPWARD
Industrials Show Good Gains Though Rail
 Buying SIackers
BY EDWARD J. CONDhON (BY LeRaed Wire to The AEe-Heraldl

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Although buy ing tapered off in railroad stocks Thursday, the industrial section of the stock list gave a surprisingly good ac- count of itself, with the average for the latter group showing net gain for the day of a point and one-quarter. Trading was less active than it has been instances this was due to a noticeable shrinkage in offerings. Holders of stocks who already have substantial profits were not inclined to liquidate. This, together with a sharply increased demand for coppers and several special ties, fetched the averages smartly higher.
 Metal Shares Rise
 The advance in the metal shares at this time is due, of course, to the big German purchases of silver with the prospect of more to come. The large copper companies who also are sizeable producers of the more precious metal have been counting on the potential German demand for some time, but 1t is evident from the present movement of stocks that the better demand for the metal has not yet been fully dis- counted.
 Germany is planning to mint silver coins. A few weeks ago., Poland was large buyer of silver for the same reason. With silver now selling around the peak of the year, many buyers have been forced to curtail purchases. For example, only a few weeks ago the Mexican government announced that it would defer the further minting of silver coin until bar silver declined.
 Cotton Is Orderly s o
 The cotton market was orderly fol- lowing the break of the previous day, which apparently fully discounted the census bureau report for July, issued at midday, which indicated a decrease of 114,904 bales in lint cotton consumed from the corresponding month last year. Active spindles were reported as only 28,710,359, against g, PIG, ,4S6 in June and S4,24S,s for July, 1923. The cloth markets, 1t will be remembered, were just beginning in the latter part of July to reflect the business revival.
 Corn was the feature of the grain markets, selling at a new high. The September position closed at the high, SLY, with December at $1.10h and May at $110B. The unreasonable weather in many sections Is retarding the corn crop. In some parts of Illinois @ light frost was reported. Wheat was but little changed and the lesser grains held close to the previous closing prices. Larger wheat shipments from Argentina were offset this week by the shrinkage in the exports from India, which totaled only 6S0,000 bushels, against 2,304,000 bushels last week.
