well absorlwd on setbacks of 5 or <1 points,
and tit market soon worked above the opening
figures on a renewal of general buying. !>e
cemttr, for instance, sold off from 14.48 to
14.43. and then advanced to ,14.51 before the
cud of the first hour, or about IB jioints aliove
the closing price* of Saturday. Private cables
reported very little offering in Liverpool.
Realizing and New Orleans selling which
some thought might reflect hedging in tbo

, middle of th' morning with Decem'ier selling
back to 14.43 and January to 14.51. Rallies

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 14. —The warning of a
tropical disturbance in the West Indies and
' much better cables than due caused heavy buy
ing of cotton around the opening of the market
today on which prices advanced 22 to 23 points.
The bulge was met by large offerings, partly
from owners of long contracts and partly from
short sellers. Half an hour after the opening
price* were at a net gain of 11 to 14 pointa.
Nervous fluctuation* marked the morning
i trading but rises were not well maintained.
I Toward i.oon the trading months were at a net

NEW YORK. Au?. 14. —The market was firm
' today under the lead of Liverpool to which
; market ocean freight for Septeml>er shipments
advanced on Saturday. There seems to have
been a rather thorough liquidation of specttla
’ five contracts. The crop reports of the day
' were of continued dry weather in Texas and
I OHvhoina. Some improvement in the Atlantic
states but of considerable damage by boll
weevil in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
There has been a deterioration in the belt as
a whole since the government report of August
1.
TIMES-PICAYUNE REPORT
NEW OBLEANS. Aug. 14.—The Times-Pic
ayune herewith presents its correspondents' re
ports on the cotton crop as of August Sth.
The consensus of opinion is to the follow
ing effect:
1. The reports vary immensely, according to
the districts from which they come, but there
can be no doubt that, taking the belt as a
whole, distinct deterioration has occurred.
2. Complaints of boll weevil damage, actual
or prospective, are heard from many quarters,
but no estimate of the damage is possible at
• present.
3. The outcome will everywhere depend upon
*| the weather during the next few weeks and
especially upon the date of killing frost. Much
lof the crop is very late and a premature
, freeze would, therefore, be disastrous.
4. Some correspondents note a shortage of
| labor, the railroads and the Industries having
| taken hundreds of hands from the fields, but
t the supply seems sufficient as a rule.
5. Farmers appear disposed to sell freely
at prevailing prices, at least during the earlier
stages of the movement, but would probably re
sist a sharp decline.

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Wheat opened % to 1%
lower today, principally because of the Ca
nadian estimate of a dominion crop of 230,(X)0,-
000 bushels. Good weather and the threatened
railroad strike were disturbing factors. Septem
ber opened at 1.42 to 1.41%, touched 1.41
»n«I then reacted to 1.41%.
Liquidation and profit-taking sent wheat
prices off as the session developed. No fresh
demand came Into evidence and at one time
September was an extreme 6 cents under Sat
urday's close. Foreigners were reported sellers
at Winnipeg.
! The close showed little recovery, with Sep
ti mber 5% net lower, at 1.37%.
Corn started lower in sympathy with wheat,
September % off, at 83% to 83%, but dis
played a steady undertone. A leading trader I
umde heavy purchases of December.
Oats opened sympathetically lower but stead
< jed.
Provisions dropped in sympathy with lower
bogs. A little selling sent September pork
off 40c. half of which, however, was speedily
recovered.

KENSKORF, LYON & CO.’S GRAIN LETTER.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14. —On the 23rd of June
we issued a circular forecasting the events which
are now transpiring. The government grain re
port just issued discloses a serious situation
which cannot be glossed over, and practically
1 means very high prices for wheat before the
season ends. How high is the only question.
With an indicated crop of only 655,0u0,000
bushels, we shall need practically all our new
wheat, leaving only some 30 to 40 millions
for export over and above the "carryover” of
last season. The Canadian crop Is deteriorat
ing and the unfavorable advices come from
the same crop experts who preideted the de
-1 terioration in the American crop but which
was considered an exaggeration at the time.
> it appears that the exportable supplies avail
able from North America will be considerably
below last year's total.
So far as Argentine and Australia are con
cerned, it is not so muds a question of sup
. ply, as the ability for consuming countries to
obtain these supplies owing to the lack of
bottoms to move it vjhere needed. India's crop
is in much the same position and new acreage
Is decreased some 25 per cent.
Europe, up to the present time, has felt
herself in fancied security, thinking that last
season's supplies would tide her over until
this country was forced to sell, but now the
new phase created by the government report
changes it all. The ’ consuming countries are
confronted with a serious condition, the end
of which no one can foretell. It must be borne
in mind that we shall soon be called upon to
take into consideration the seeding of the next
winter wheat crop, whjeb if it does not pro
ceed satisfactorily, will only serve to intensi
fy the excitement.
The sum total of European crops is not over
promising and more than last year will be
needed.
I'rices have risen to date 46c on September
delivery, the greatest proportion of which was
based on the black rust and blight damage in
our spring wheat territory and also on the Ca
nadian side.
While it Is impossible at the moment to state
the probable yield of North America, the fol
lowing figures may not be without interest:
The .'onsunption of iraportln.r countries last
year was 560.000.009 bushel* of Imnorted wheat,
with every indication that 000.000.000 will be
needed thi* year. Europe 1’ dependent upon
North American supplies for at least four to
fire months
Possible frost damage In Canada owing
to the lateness of the crop, is a feature call-1
ing for consideration. Without any further dam
age it appears as if th£ total North American
available exportable surplus of old and new
wheat would be under 300,000,000 bushels, as
against between 4R5.000,000 to 490.000.000 ac
tual last season, a statistical situation scarcely
calling for much comment.
On the 29th of February we ended onr Hr-1
ciilar ns follows: “In 1817 with the Napoleonic
wars, wheat sold at $2.8-’. Fifty years later
with our civil war, it again sold at $2.85 in
1807. Add another fifty years and we find:
ourselves In the midst of a gigantic Euro-1
penii struggle. What do"es 1917 hold in store;
for wheat?”
There Is more force and justification in that j
query today than existed then. Who shall say
bow far the present advance will go?
Admits He Passed
Pennies Off as Dimes
Edgar Hughes was arrested Friday
morning by Officers Powers and McCol
lum under the Whitehall viaduct
charged with counterfeiting and is being
held at the police headquarters pending
investigation by the federal authorities.
Hughes admitted to a Journal repor
ter that he had been putting mercury
on pennies and passing them off as
dimes. He claimed a process of his own
for accomplishing this, which he re
fused to explain.
He said that he might be called a
( hobo by profession, but that he nearly
always had a dollar in his pocket.

Flour Sells at $9 a
Barrel in New York
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Flour sold in
New York markets today at $5 to $9 a
barrel, ar. advance of 70 to 80 cents a
barrel as a result of an increase in the
price of wheat. One miller said there
was considerable old flour in the hands
of jobbers which was still selling at
prices prevailing before the advance.
The average flour for domestic use,
it was stated, now costs $8 a barrel and
householders will have to pay from 10
to 20 cents more for a sack than before
the advance in wheat. The price of
bread here has not yet been increased.
