WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton anil Wheat Excited on Crop
Damage Report*—Stock* Lower.
The past week has been an eventful one
in the markets. Probably never before
in the same week, have the two leading
commodities, cotton and wheat, enjoyed
such a heavy advance. A similar cause
was responsible in both cases—broad end
excited speculation based upon reports of
grave damage to the growing crops.
Continued unfavorable weather in the
South caused the cotton bulls to take con
fidence, and the bears to take fright. Amid
considerable excitement and with very
large transactions, prices rose rapidly. Au
gust sold above 9c, finally closing SAOc. an
advance of 57 points. New crop months
were still stronger, October closing 75
points higher at 8.40 c.
The trade is now coming to the opinion
that a large crop is no longer among the
possibilities. Recent reports from the
middle section are exceedingly bad, and
really do not appear to be very much bet
ter in the East. While conditions were
more favorable in Texas, yet it is not be
lieved that the state can produce an aver
age crop even under the njost favoring
conditions henceforth. The question now
is, how much will the shortage amount to?
Another week of this prevailing wet end
unseasonable weather would undoubtedly
prove disastrous. The alarming status of
the crop has caused the situation to as
sume a different aspect, for while recent
prices were too high with a prospective
crop of 11,000,000 to 12,000,000 bales, there
can be no telling where prices may go if
the promise should be for a yield no larg
er than last year's. As to this, it is too
early yet to judge, one way or the other.
Wheat was even more excited than cot
ton. the advance amounting to about 13c,
with the close very strong. The spring
wheat crop is said to be disastrously
short, and all sorts of prices are freely
predicted. July closed BSc, an advance of
23e from the point at which this review
suggested buying a month or so ago. Corn
and the other markets were excited .u
sympathy, but there was no great move
ment in provisions until, Friday. From
Friday morning to Saturday morning,
pork leaped $1.30; lard and ribs about 50
points each. Prices reacted a lilt'e at
the close, but the sentiment Is very bull
ish.
On the other hand stocks were weak, the
boom which was predicted to follow the
Philadelphia convention having failed to
develop. Stocks had to contend with bad
crop news, disquieting foreign advices,
and unsatisfactory trade reports. Brook
lyn Transit was' the leading sufferer, be
ing moreverafflicted with further udve a r *
legislation, and declined 16 points. The
market closed with a downward tendency,
some grain roads and industrials showing
most heaviness. Wm. T. Williams.
ESTIMATE COTTON CROP.
Murphy *fc Cos. Sny Thi* Yenr’*
Yield Will Be 10.035.07. J.
Murphy & Cos., cotton brokers, have
made an estimate of ihe cotton crop for
1900, which they say will approximate 10,-
935,673 bales. This estimate is based on
Information obtained from all states In
the cotton belt, and Is from correspond
ents in whom the firm has confidence.
Referring to Georgia, the circular says:
During Ihe early spring there appears
lo have been too much rain, and an ab
normally low rouge of .temperature, re
tarding farm preparations and planting,
up to about *he middle of May, hence
the crop Is on an average of two weeks
late this year. These conditions, how
ever. do not appear to have materially
affected germination, as our information
Indicates a better stand than was secured
for last year's crop. There are n num
ber of complaints of too much rain and
a grassiness of the fields even up to the
present lime, and in some Instances n
scarcity of farm labor Is complained of,
hut on the whole, the crop, xvhlle a late
one, may be said to be In a fair condi
tion and capabla of rapid development
under favorable weather, since (here has

acreage this year our reports indicate an
average of only 6.8 per cent. This is to
be explained upon two accounts. First, a
scarcity of seed for planting purposes,
and. secondly, by the fact that large por
tions of South Georgia have abandoned
their usual cotton acreage and gone Into
ihe cultivation of wheat. Under these
circumstances, we are inclined to believe
our percentage of increase as approxi
mately correct. Based upon our figures
of 6.8 per cent, increase in acreage, is
on indicated planting for this year of
3,447,504 acres.
Increases of 9.8 per cent, are shown for
North Carolina over 1899, 9.7 for South
Carolina, 6.8 for Georgia, 10.5 for Alabama.
8.1 for Mississippi, 11.5 for Louisiana. 7.42
for Texas, 10.5 for Arkansas, 9.7 for Ten
nessee, 13.2 for Indian Territory. 18.12 for
Oklahoma, 15.7 for Florida, 25.7 for Mis
souri and 23.9 for Virginia.
BANKER CLEAVS’ VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen Fi%n>
AVall Street.
New York, Jufie 23.—Bearish proclivi
ties have been quite active during the
past week; unfavorable crop reports, the
approach of a political campaign, the
Chinese developments and the renewal of
gold exports being the apparent reasons
for the declines. The real reasons, how
ever, were the indisposition of the public
to continue buying at the recent high level
of prices; the recognition of this fact by
experienced operators, and' the willing
ness, if not desire, of the big holders
to see a moderate reaction on which to
base a fresh buying movement in an
ticipation of more favorable developments
later on. Intrinsic conditions may be per
fectly sound; yet, if the speculative
forces are agreed upon a lower range of
values, nothing can be gained by resisting
those forces at this time. On the contrary,
the advantage iies in letting them have
their own way for a period; so that the
rebound upwards will become the more
pronounced later on.
The political campaign is a cause of
uncertainty, more, perhaps, than the facts
justify; yet opinions will differ, and the
market Is likely to be sensitive to such
opinions, rightly or wrongly, until the
outcome of the elections can be more ac
curately foreseen.
Trade prospects are very satisfactory,
although the outlook is somewhat con
fused by the readjustment of prices now
going on. Values had been adx’anced much
too high because of the sudden and un
precedented rush of orders. Now that
these are satisfied both demand and prices
are gravitating to the normal. More or
less unsettlement must be expected until
this period is passed, and it is quite
likely that buyer, will hold off for still
lower prices until forced to recognize that
bottom is touched. During the interval,
therefore, a period of dullness may be ex
pected, that will be very discouraging in
contrast with the conditions of a year ago.
But this will only be temporary, for there
are no signs of the recent activity having
run its course. Quite the reverse; there
is every reason to anticipate a good trade
during the coming fall and winter, be
cause enterprise and industry are alert
and the execution of new projects will
keep every mill busy for months to come.
Overproduction Is not yet in sight.
Gold exports have attracted little at
tention, because of our ability to spare
considerable sums for points where It is
most needed. Our supply, it should be re
membered. is being constantly replenished
by home production and receipts from the
Klondike and Alaskan regions. Paris has
taken considerable sums, and Berlin, a
point of speculative weakness, has also
felt the need of strengthening its stock
of gold. Any relief we afford the other
side will be helpful here.

agent at Vladivostok, has been elected

BOOK NOTICES.
"Twenty Y’ears In Europe," by S. H.
Byers. Rand, McNally & Company. New
York, publishers. Cloth. $1.25 The author
of this volume was United States consul
general to Switzerland and Italy. He haJ
opportunities for traveling over Europe,
and his position brought him in con’act
with many well-known people. His l ook
consists of descriptions of places and per
sons, together with conversations with
prominent people and accounts of many
matters of greater or less interest. Two
features of the book are letters from Gen.
Sherman and illustrations of noted places
in Europe. The book is an interesting
one and will doubtless prove popular witn
the reading public.
"Smiles Yoked With Sighs." by Robert
J. Burdette. The Bowen-MerriU Compa
ny, jniblishers, Indianapolis, Ind. Cloth,
SI.OO. It is not quite fair, perhaps, to call
this a book of nonsense poems, but, at
least, one may say that it is the work of
a rhymster who does not lake himself too
seriously; who writes jingles knowing
that they are Jingles; who does not strike
attitudes because he has discovered that
there are feet in a line, end that “mine"
rhymes with "thine,” and that the serio
comic is enormously fetching. Mr. Bur
dette’s style is too w ell known to want for
description. He is one. of those clever men
who have a. native talent for "fooling ’ in
verse, and as a consequence his thousands
of readers will welcome his new book with
Joy.
"The Filipino Martyrs, a story of the
lime of Feb. 4, 1899," by Richard Brins
ley Sheridan, barrister at law. Inner
Temple. John latne. The Bodley Head,
Fifth avenue, New York, publisher. Cloth
$1.25. The author of this book was in
Manila at the time of the surrender of
that City and for several months after
wards. He gives many interesting scenes
and incidents that dame under Ids ob
servation, also bis views of the 1' llipinos,
their effort for independence and their
treatment by the Americans. He says that
his sympathies are with the Americans,
but he appears to think that Ihe Filipinos
have been dealt with unfairly: The vol
ume is an interesting one.
“Outline History of English and American
Literature,” by Charles F. Johnson, Litt.
E*oc., Yale; Professor of English Litera
ture’in Trinity College. Cloth, 12mo, 553
pages, illustrated. Price, $1.25. American
Book Company, New York.
Unlike’many of the present text-book.*,
this volume contains within a brief space
a comprehensive treatment of both Eng
lish and American literature, and will
prove a much needed book for those
schools and colleges which furnish in
struction in the literatures of both coun
tries. The author has aimed to compress
into this book the minimum of literature
with which every young person should be
familiar, and has designed it for use as a
text-book during one year’s study, lie has
based it on the historio method of study,
and has given in each chapter a brief sur
vey of those changes and events in social
development which have produced great
effects upon literature. The work has been
brought up to date and includes the names
of prominent later writers.
