FUTURE cotton.
SHOWS GAIN

NEW YORK, Aug. "a dN.S9.
Heavy short covering combined
with trade buying came into the
New York cotton market during
the forenoon trading today, and
the general list of future con-
tracts showed gains in excess of
81 a. bale over the previous
close. II
The. early trading started off
with October up only IA points,
but prices advanced until March
registered gain of rs points.
The main reason for. the ad-
vance was believed to be-; the
prospect of improved conditions
in Great Britain as the result
Of the resignation of the Labor
government. A cable from Cairo,
Egypt, stating that the Egyptian
government would follow the lead
Of the tIoited States Suspending
cotton planting in 1892 also had
a favorable influence. Weather
conditions, however, were highly
favorable to the crop, according
to private reports.

Things are getting so dull that,
with the Journals consent, this

vacation now. He will let the
other financial columniSts wrestle
with the situation for a while.
Maybe that will reduce the
supply of forecasts" plow-
ing under some of the cotton crop
or bayonetting few oil pro-
ducers-and thus increase their
value.
Vacation Advised Public
But / am going to be thinking
things over while away, and hope
to come back loaded for bear-or
bull-that is the question.
Anyhow, I will probably find
the rest of Wall Street there and
may pick ep some of the sober
afterthoughts of a few dehorned
bulls and skinned bears.
Probably the public will do well
to take an extended vacation from
the stock market. From the looks
Of most brokers' board rooms" :"
however, this advice seems hardly
necessary.
The brokers don't need any va.
cation because they have been
having sort Of moratorium for
quite q while.
Swat at Jahncke
Speaking of vacations, would
advise against falling for most of
this optimistic talk about America
being able to get along with only
few days work each week. For
example, a Mr.. Jahncke, who is
an Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, was quoted the other day
as saying that the machine age
is going to "liberate man from
toll"
He glories in the idea that "the
working day has progressively
shortened from six to five and a
half, and soon will reach the five.
day stage" Ford and others have
talked Of three or four day weeks.
Some Of these idealiStS have the
notion that there is going to be
no struggle for existence, but that
we are going to go in for cultural
development, the arts and physi.
cal and mental recreation" cor

that these things will occupy the

with these things in the past?
Can we live on art and cultural
development? What about wages,
as working time has been re-
duced? Il note that Ford has
cut wages in his Irish tractor
works.
My guess is that we are all go.

statistical analysis to appear in
the Constructor, edited by Ralph
d. Winstead and published by the
Associated General Contractors of
America, with headquarters in the
MunSey Building, here.
July Above June
The analysis, which is based
upon the shipment of basic con-
Struction materials, shows the
July volume at index number 140,
an increase of three points over
that of the previous month, but a
decline of SO points as compared
with July, 1880.
One of the most Disappointing
facts brought out in the analysis
is the apparent failure of munici-
palities to undertake street and
alley paving work under the ex-
ceptionally favorable price condi-
tions prevailing this year, Edward
j. Harding, managing director Of
the association, stated in COM
menting upon the study. He
said:
present indications are that
the totals for concrete street,
alley and highway paving will
not exceed those of last year
despite the increase in Federal
aid appropriations to S125,O0O
OO0 and the $SO,OOO.O0O emcr-
gency Federal aid money loaned
to the various States"
Bond Issues Aid
The total awards of concrete
surface pavement contracts for
the first six months of the year
was 91,908,000 square yards, or
an increase of IL per cent, COM
pared with the corresponding pc
riod a year ago, whereas at the
close of April the total was 80
per cent greater than during the
same four months of 1880, Mr..
Harding pointed out.
Long term State and municipal
bond issues for contemplated pub
lie works, however, continue to
run about IL per cent greater
than for the same period last
year, the monthly average for the
first six months being $l41, ,0OO,-
600, as compared with six
months average of 5,156, 900
last year, the analysis shows.

Extensive Upturn
,VieWed as UnLikeLH

Business continues to mark time
in the depths of depression. The
prospect is, however, that a mod
crate upward movement will oc:
cur this fall. Anticipation of any
extensive Improvement is not
warranted, the Alexander Hamil-
ton Institute reports.
The steel mills have increased
their operations slightly. They
are now working at 80 per cent
of capacity as compared with 80
per cent a week ago, the low for
the depression. The automobile
industry also stepped up produc-
tion slightly, manufacturing 50,751
cars in the second week of August
as compared with 1851 in the
first week.
