NEW YORK. August IA further
decline in the cotton market early to-

still much in evidence and the tone
was unsettled.
The market opened steady at a de-
cline of points on May, but generally
to points higher on covering pro-
mOted by bullish reports from the
British goods market and reports that
temperatures were again rising in
the Southwest. The early demand was

BOOST IN INDUSTRY.
Outlook for Last Half 1925 Shows
Decided Improvement.

BALTIMORE. August IL (SpeciaD
Industry in the Baltimore district
has taken on new life, and the out
look for the second half of the year
is decidedly better than it was in the
first six months, say those who follow
the trend of business.
The Summer lull in the steel trade,
which gave rise to pesSimiStic talk,
has passed, and plants are again op-
Grating nearly to capacity. Some are
on full schedule. Prices are firmer
than they have been. for several
weeks.
Crops are turning out better than
expected, and, with high prices pre-
vailing for products of the farm, the
indications are that the agricultural
industry will realize an unusually
prosperous year. Prosperity on the
farm means good times for general
business.
One of the most encouraging de-
velopments is the slow revival in the
coal industry. Threat of strike in
the anthracite fields has stimulated
buying of bituminous coal. Output
of this grade of fuel is steadily in
creasing, and the product is being
marketed as fast as taken out of the
ground.
Freer movement of coal is reflected
in the car loadings of the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Western Maryland and
the Pennsylvania.

FEDERAL CROP REPORT
HITS PRICE OF WHEAT
Drop of Approximately 8 Cents
Bushel in Chicago is Fol-
lowed by Reaction.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, August 11.-Wheat un-
derwent a drop of nearly cents a
bushel here today, as a result of Gov
ernment reports showing a much
larger probable 1925 yield of wheat in
the United States and Canada than
has recently been expected. May fell
to 1902 as against 1.66B to 1.66 3s
yesterday.
Exceptionally heavy selling .devel-
oped as soon as trading began. Ac-
tive buying quickly set in also, how
ever, and the market rebounded about
cents a bushel. Subsequent price
changes were rapid.
Prices plunged wildly downward
with traders giving attention almost
entirely to the United States and Ca
madam government crop reports.
Both of these reports were a source
of astonfshment to the trade, the
United States report in particular
showing about 10000, 900 bushels more
wheat likely to be harvested in this
country than has recently been looked
for After the first rush of selling
had somewhat sdbsided. though,
buying broadened out. and a sub
stanial recovery was witnessed Chi

lower. September. 1909 to 1862. and
December, l.5S12 to l.6O12, were fol-
lowed by reaction to 1.62R for Sep
tember, and 1.603s for December.
Corn and oats weakened owing to
sympathy with the severe break in
wheat prices. The Government re-
ports as to corn. however. was con-
strued as bullish. and corn prices
soon scored a material upturn. After
opening at Is to y cents decline, Sep
tember. 1.04s to los, corn rose all
around, September touching 1861.
Oats started at u to s. cents set
back. September, Abs to 4112 cents

President of the United States. .
Marshall was man of keen insight and
unusual ability. His one greatest failing was
that his unusual modesty sometimes prevented
him from realizing the extent of his own
ability
1t is sometimes said that man is buried
in the vice presidency, but this was not true of
Marshall During his eight years as president
Of; the Senate he was an outstanding figure IN
Washington. His keen humor, his hkable per-
sonality and his ability made him thousands of
friends.
Marshall was IN old-fashioned Hoosier.
His. tastes were simple and his ideas for the
most part sound. He had happy faculty of
summing up what he had to say in epigram-
matte form. Sometimes his sarcasm bit
ing, but he was never malicious. He never took
himself too seriously and he did not like to see
others overestimate their own Importance.
He became Governor of Indiana under
trying circumstances necessitating solution of
important questions of public policy. His terms
as Vice President also were particularly try
ing, with the United States at war and with
the President for time at deaths door. But
through it all he kept his head and achieved
an enviable record.
The feeling of sorrow over his death knows
no party nor State lines. The Nation mourns its
loss
