How New Express Rates Will
Help Farmers and the
City Folk.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, July 29. —The day of fresh
vegetables, of butter straight from the
churn, of eggs really newly laid, is—or
ought to be —at hand. The new express
ra te will enable city families to make ar
rangements with farmers for regular
shipr ents of supplies. A package weigh-,
ine not more than ten pounds will be
carried short distances for 23 cents. This
amount could be saved several times, for
the grower will be willing to name prices
very much below' those charged at city
stores.
♦ ♦ ♦
The public has not yet awakened to the
extraordinary value of the reform just
e 'lve<l by the interstate commerce com
mission. No governmental body has done
a better piece of work in a decade. This
fact will gradually sink into the citizen’s
. . .
Co-operation, I believe, will hereafter
he the watchword of the express com
panies. Nor do they stand to be losers
jr, the apparently drastic rate reductions
propounded by the commission. Just as
the lowering of postage, of telegraph and
of able rates has invariably been fol
lowed by a growth of business, so the
fixing of equitable, fair-to-all tolls for
carrying express packages can not fail to
multiply the receipts of the companies.
A great many people have avoided pa
tronizing these carriers simply because
the} have felt they were being deceived
and robbed. The new scale of chargs
promises to be as lucid as the alphabet.
The sender of a parcel wdll be able to
tell in advance what it will cost, just as
he can now reckon the charge for sending
a letter to any foreign country.
♦ ♦ *
More, the express service will become
a truly express service. It will not profit
the companies to contrive to send pack
ages by circuitous routes; the law calls
for the very shortest and swiftest route.
Here is another invaluable gain.
• • •
The heads of the principal express com
panies have voiced their readiness to obey
the recommendations of the commission.
This is well. These companies must live
or die; if they fall to supply proper serv
ice. if they still persist in thwarting the
public will, then they will be doomed as
sure as a rotten branch falls to the
ground soon or late. Two possible sources
of competition are within sight. First, a
parcels post system; second, the inaugu
ration of express services by the railroads
themselves. If the existing, companies
hestlr themselves, if they enthusiastically
enter into the spirit of the reform out
lined. then they can build up a patronage
far more lucrative than any they' have
heretofore enjoyed.
• * *
Will they' rise to the occasion? 1 believe
they will.
♦ • ♦
The railroads, however, may find the
struggle for existence becoming so keen
that they will decide to earn an honest
penny by doing their own express carry
ing. Competition would probably prove
healthy.
♦ * •
The bringing of the producer on the
farm and the consumer in the city into
direct touch should be extremely benefi
cial for both. Market gardening on a
large scale can be made handsomely
profitable when the produce can be sold
nt good prices all the year round. I know
of one agriculturist who, from modest
beginnings, has established a wonderfully
desirable trade in market baskets for city
dwellers. He has customers for every
ounce of produce he can grow. There is
no reason why similar success should not
attend other efforts of the same kind
once cheap, rapid and regular transporta
tion facilities have been provided.
« • •
Less hard times appear to be in store
for those of us who live between walls
of masonry and steel. The United States
is in a fairway to being blessed by
bumper crops of grain and other agri
cultural products—note how prices have
been tumbling on the exchanges last
week. Furthermore, a world-wide survey
igricultural conditions and prospects
loads our excellently posted special finan
cial correspondent in London to cable
last evening that all indications point to
a more plentiful supply of food being
raised during the coming twelve months
than in years past.
Is this not cause for joy?

Shorts Cover Holdings.
NEW YORK, July 27.—New high rec
ords for the movement were established
at the opening of the cotton market
today, prices advancing from 7 to 14
points and October touching 12.83. It was
a weather market, reflecting hot. dry
conditions in Texu.-,. As«-ertlons were
made that :ne crop there is deteriorating
and In urgent need of rain in the east
ern belt eon litlcns were better, but the
trade inclined to legat’d the Texas situa
tion as critical The weather map today
showed very little Indication of moisture
in the western belt over Sunday.
Deterioration reports from Texas say
the excessive temperatures is causing
considerable shedding and the drouth is
becoming more serious than ever. These
reports caused an exciting scene among
the traders on the floor shortly after the
call. Shorts and commission houses made
a mad rush to cover, trading heavily upon
October and December. These two op
tions made a continuous advance, car
rying prices to the highest levels of the
year, October advancing from 12.86 cto
13.07 c without a pause, with December ad
vancing to 13.08 with only 1 point lead
over October. The July option made the
largest gain of the list, going to 12.88 c,
an advance of 36 points over the previous
close.
At the close the market was firm, with
prices showing net gains throughout the
list from 32 to 36 points from the final
quotations of Friday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 27.—The sudden
jump in prices in the last hour was caused
by late orders from New York, probably
in anticipation of the reports.
The map shows fair weather over the
entire belt, except partly cloudy in ex
treme northwest Texas, with .12 inch pre
cipitation at Amarillo. Otherwise no rain
Is shown except .42 at Monroe, La. Tem
peratures over the eastern states. Arkan
sas and Tennessee, are somewhat lower
a‘hd more favorable. Indications point to
continued fair weather, except Increasing
cloudiness by Sunday night in the cen
tral states.
Our market opened around last night’s
close, but as soon as the government fore
cast appeared and predicted fair weather
in the western states over Sunday general
buying developed and carried new crop
prices over 13c, October selling to 13.24 c
and holding the gain well with hardly any
give way.
The market is In a nervous state, owing
to private Information reporting the crop
in the western states in a critical stage
dependent for immediate relief on general
rains. Weather developments over Sun
day will, therefore, have a decided bearing
on trade view’s and on the markets.
Should there be no rain in Texas and
Oklahoma during the next forty-eight
hours and no prospects for rain appear by
Monday, the strength of bullish sentiment
may be felt decidedly.

M’CULLOUGH BROTHERS’
FRUIT AND PRODUCE LETTER
The fruit and produce business through
out this section is and has been for sev
eral weeks practically at a standstill
The local truckers have monopolized the
field to a very large extent, which is cus
tomary at this season of the year.
The prospects for a fall business are very
flattering, indeed.
Fruit and vegetable crop throughout the
producing sections are reported of good
yield and superior quality, both of which
is necessary In order to produce the best
results.
Peaches have been plentiful and cheap
during the week, but In our opinion there
will be a decided fallng off in tn the sup
ply from now on, which should result In
a more active demand and better values.
The watermelon market has also been
badly congested, but at present it Is
cleaning up with good prospects.
Cantaloupes of good quality are 1n light
suply at paying prices.
A fair demand prevails for pineapples,
while oranges are slow sale with some de
pression in values.
Bananas for the past week have been in
small demand, and no changes of conse
quence tn prices.
There was no decided change in eggs
during the week.
Both live and dresed poultry plenti
ful and cheap.
Some reaction noticeable in Irish pota
toes New crop sweet potatoes coming In
to the market in limited supply.

South Carolina and Florida as following;
North Carolina —The cotton crop Is very
spotted. Some fields are looking fine;
others below the average Owing to ex
cessive rains, cotton has grown too much
to weed and is poorly fruited and the
grass rather heavy. But conditions have
been very favorable for stiff lands and
prospects have greatly improved in the
past ten days. There are practically no
insects. Labor is scarce in some sections,
but with recent favorable weather culti
vation is proceeding satisfactorily. The
season is about two weeks backward.
Several points deterioration may be look
ed for from last month’s condition of 86.
South Carolina—Continuous ruins have
caused the weed to become large and sap
py at the expense of frultaage, and the
crop has not been properly worked. Some
cotton has been drowned out in the low
lands and grass is general.
Army worms have appeared in many
sections and are doing considerable dam
age Reports thus far received indicate
considerable deterioration from last
month's condition of 83. The season is
three weeks late, and picking is expected
to begin about September 15.
Florida—Heavy rains have made the
prospects very poor, but the plant is be
ginning to recover some from these ef
fects.
Dallas, Texas, wires: "Texas weather:
The Panhandle generally cloudy; light
showers at Clarendon, southern and east
ern portion of Panhandle; heavy showers
at Amarillo."
New York Commercial says: Spinners
are believed to have bought on an enor
mous scale.
Journal of Commerce says: Continued
hot weather is a dominant feature in cot
ton.
Riordan big seller on call. Selling more
general than buying; buying scattered.

Stock Market Closes the Week
With Irregular Tendency To
ward Bullish Sentiment.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, July 27. —A demand for
Great Northern preferred made that stock
the only feature for some time after the
stock market opened today. This buvlng
caused the stock to move up % to 140%,
and was followed by an advance of % in
Northern Pacific. The recent strength In
the Hill stocks Is said to be due almost
wholly to buying through houses closely
affiliated with James J. 11111, and the idea
prevails in Wall Street that there is
something back of oit more t»’ian the fa
vorable outlook for the spring wheat crop.
Price changes In other Issues were lim
ited to small fractions. United States
Steel comon and Amalgamtaed Coppper
were up % at the end of fifteen minutes’
trading, while Atchison, Baltimore anil
Ohio and Erie showed losses of the same
trifling amount. Union Pacific was .iff ’
General Electric started % lower at 182
with only one transaction recorded in the
first quarter hour.
Americans in London were narrow but
a firm tone prevailed.
The curb marker opened steady.
The market closed irregular; govern
ments unchanged; other bonds dull, but
steady.
