DROUGHT YEAR
SEES BOUNTIFUL
CROPS IN SOUTH
Record Breaking DrynesS
Overcome by Timely
Rains.
BY NJ. E. COMPTON
limited Press Stan Corresnondent

MEMPHIS, Oct. 15.-The south
and southwest have experienced a
record breaking year of drought,
yet crops are bountiful, a United
Press survey showed today.
The drought has been more Sc
we're than last years, which caused
thousands of acres of land to be laid
barren. With only two exceptions,
states in the south, midsouth and
southwest had less rainfall than in
1880.
Despite the hot, dry weather,
farmers will harvest record yields
of cotton, grains, and row crops.
The government estimate places the
1881 cotton yields at 16,284,000 bales
and other crops are in proportion.
The exceptions to the general
rule of deficiency in rainfall we're
Missouri and Kansas and it was
only in the sections around Kansas
City that those states had normal
precipitation.

Corn Market Uncertain

The firmnesS in cash corn Offset
the weakness in wheat Wednesday
and the chartering of 100000
bushels to eastern lake ports also
was a factor. The pressure on the
futures is lessening somewhat. Old
corn is being taken by elevator in
terests and industries. There is no
indication as yet as to how the
country will market the new crop.
Oats we're strong until near the
close Wednesday when wheat weak
ened. Charters were made for
$4,000 bushels to Buffalo. The mar
ket showed independent strength at
times and is gaining new friends.

CORN FUTURES
TAKE LEAD IN
GRAIN UPTURN
Wheat Shows uneven
Range on Weak Trend
at Liverpool.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-WeakneSs in
I,iverpool caused a recession in
wheat on the Board of Trade at the
opening today despite firmness in
stocks. Liverpool had a natural re-
action in a slight trade. May wheat
alone showed strength and adj
vanced fractionally, prices changing
but slightly in either direction.
Corn disregarded the weakness in
wheat and scored good gain at
the start on continued strength in
the cash market and better feel
ing. Oats were about steady and
slow.
Foreign News Watched
At the opening wheat was g cent
lower to 4 cent higher, corn was
unchanged to IS cent up, and oats
we're unchanged to Is cent higher.
Provisions were uneven, but mostly
higher.
The wheat trade is looking to de-
velopments abroad for an advance
in prices. Foreign buying has been
in good volume for the past week
and the opinion has been expressed
that all export sales have not been
reported. The far eastern situation
is getting much attention.
A house with Pacific coast con-
nections bought December Wednes-
day. Chartering of wheat boats to
Great Britain by Russia practically
has ceased and that country still is
using bread cards and rationing is
more severe.
