1t was known that they had been ac-
copied as collateral at very high fig-
ures relative to the average prices Of the
year. Along with the speculation in
these shares had been one nj commodi-
ties. The two markets OF securities and
wheat went down together as they had
at the end Of May. It was the unreal
sonable advance In the Western public
utilities and in some Of the members of
the Eastern group that made those who
have been consistently bullish become
extremely cautious in the early part
OF this week, with the result that the
market was beginning to show a con-
siderable increase in the floating sup
plies Of high grade stocks before the
news OF the bank rate advance was
published.
The strongest element In the market
at present and the one which justifies
the belief that 1t will recover fairly
soon is that purchases recently have
been concentrated in the very highest
grade Of stock so that those who hold
them need have no anxiety although
their shares may be temporarily under

the earnings of corporations in the FIRST

their securities. There Is DISPOSE

early part of the Spring to anticipate
some slowing down in the industrial

This may be as faulty a surmise as was

The future Of the market for invest

special DISPATCH 10 The kStNt.
NEW YORK, August l0.-There Is
no sound reason for optimism over the
marked decrease in wheat crops and
the sensational rise in wheat prices,
says the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
H. Is true that wheat farmers in the
United States will receive, S54 1000, 900
more than last year, provided they get
the full benefit OF present prices, even
though this years yield may be only
767.0o0,000 bushels. as compared with
es2. TAG 900 for last year.
On the other hand. the wheat farm
ers Of Canada have suffered crop
shrinkage from $50, 100000 bushels for
last year to an estimated 100000, 900
creased prices they stand tn lose $780,
$4,000 as compared with last year.
Clearly this means considerable
reduction In the purchasing power OF

gions, even after allowing for the COM
parstively large carryover. from last
year.
the real economic situation produced,
even In this industrial and speculative
age. by serious crop failure. Earn
ings Of railroads have been and will
be largely affected; returns to labor will
be decreased; and In general, the cur
tailed buying power of many classes
and the increased costs of necessities
will affect general prosperity.
Wheat growers from Kansas south
will generally profit from the situation,
says the Alexander Hamilton Institute,
but Northern growers will generally suf-
fer: and 1t must not Be forgotten that
buyers OF wheat and wheat products
must pay higher prices during the next
IL months.

COTTON GOES DOWN

Prices Go Into New Low
Ground for Movement, With
Closing Easy. .
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 10.-An early
advance in the cotton market today
was attributed to week end covering and
declines followed which carried prices
into new low ground for the movement
under a renewal Of liquidation COM
bined with local and Southern selling
December sold of from 1919 to 1926
and closed at 1926, compared with

The general market closed easy at net

cline Of points to an advance OF l
point. There may have been little
selling on the reports of showers in
the Southwest and relatively easy Liv-
erpol cables, but 1t was quite readily
absorbed. and the market f1rmed up
right after the call on covering for over
the week end.
Local Buying Reported.
Some local buying was reported on a
belief that the recent decline had i'm
proved the technical position Of the
market. while there was also some bull
ish comment on weather conditions to
the effect that dry sections OF the
Southwest had not yet received suf-
ficient rainfall, and that showers in
the Eastern belt were stimulating weevil.
The advance extended to 1925 for Oc-
tober and 1878 for March or about Is
to 10 points above yesterdays closing
quotations, with December contracts
showing a recovery of 20 points from
yesterdays low level. The demand then
tapered of as II the demand from
shorts had been pretty well supplied,
and the market broke later in the
morning under a renewal of liQuida-
ton together with reselling by local
traders and some selling from the
South which was supposed to repre-
sent hedging. October declined to 1876
and March to 1880, making net de-
clines OF 10 to IA points and closing
quotations were within a point or two
of the lowest on active positions.
Optimism on Crop.
The more optimistic view of coming
crop possibilities, noted since the pub
licati0n OF the Government report on
Thursday, was considered chiefly re-
sponsible for the late selling. Liver
pool cable advices said that covering
and trade calling in Liverpool had been
supplied by liquidation and short SELL
ing based on favorable weather reports
from the South. These reports stated
further attempts were being made to
settle the wage dispute and that there
was an improved inquiry from India.
The amount OF cotton on shipboard
A. United States ports awaiting clear
ance at the end Of the week was eS-
timated at $4,000 against 10000 last
