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 been a considerable Increaee In th use sX commercial fertilizers. The Increase la THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1900. 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. —R. T. Greener, United States consular agent at Vladivostok, has been elected an active member of the Statistical So ciety of the Maritime Province of Siberia ir> recognition of Mr. Greener’s interest in Siberian development.

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. Magazine*. McClure's for July has on attractive table of contents.
