PRICE OF COTTON
Market in Waiting Attitude and
Refuses to Move Until Hear
ing More News.
NEW VO UK, May Iti. covering
took advantage of the good min« pver
the belt to cover at the opening of the
cotton market to-day. Fuat prices Were
2 points higher to 2 points lower than
the closing quotations of Thursday.
Many bad expected a much lower start
on aucount of the weather map. hut
the market shows considerable resist
ance In the face of favorable weather,
with predictions for further rains, and
sprit people gave the market support
by buying old crops, and this prevented
the market from showing depression
After the call bear pressure developed
in volume and the new crop positions
declined about 6 points from the ini
tial level.
There was no market In Uverpool.
This market being closed explained the
dullness shown during the early fore
noon. *
The principal feature during the
forenoon trading was the se.liing by sev
eral brokers who usually represent the
larger spot houses.
Reports of rain* is causing more bear-
ish i sejitlment, but lb© most radical
bears are not inclined to sell the market
short on such report*, owing to the
fiiany misleading reports that have been
issued during the past several days.
Most of these teports are proven false
when the official government forecast
Js made public. However, the hears
are playing for a good reaction from
prdsejit l.eveis, but it is noticeable they
ar0 not' selling the market short to any
great extent.
'During the late forenoon the market
was quiet witli prices a shade lower
than the opening range
The strength in July was credited
chiefly to the s'eadiness of the new
crop positions, but prices failed to bulge
either way. 'Hie forecast is for more
extensive rains over the Eastern Stales
during the next 36 hours.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket was quiet. The trade expected the
weekly cotton statement to he bearish.
This, however, did not inspire any ac
tive trading Prices were practically
unchanged from the previous close.
At 4.he close the market was steady
with prices net unchanged to 6 points
• igher than the final quotations of
T,iii*r*day.

COTTON GROWERS
FACING DISASTER
Drouth Has Put Stand as Low as
40 Per Cent, Says Georgia
Agricultural Department.
Th© cotton crop stand in Georgia is
not more than 50 per cent. It may be
as low ,ts 40 per cent. This estimate
was made Friday by officials of the
St ae Department of Agriculture on
late reports from agents and farmers
througnout the State.
The situation is alarming,’ 1 said
.1. J Brown. Assistant (’ommissione**
of Agriculture. “It is worse than It
has been in years. '1 he department
Is not desirous of spreading ‘calamity’
reports, but it

is impossible to get
away from the fact that the stand is
not more than half the normal It
may be even less.”
Farmers can meet in a measure the
conditions of drouth or rain once
they get the plants, but without a
stand they are helpless. The long pe
riod of dry weather has prevented
the germination of the seeds. If an
attempt is made to replant within the
next week, it is a question whether
the crop will reach maturity in time.
"Farmers with considerable of their
acreage in corn have fared better.
There are good stands of corn about
the State and the indications are that
there will be a fair and a profitable
crop’’

BOSTON, May 16. -More interest is
l>eing thrown into the local wool mar
ket by manufacturers and dealers,
though the actual increase in business
i» small. New territory wools are be
ginning to arrive. Thev are being
opened and shown, although very little
has been sold. New low records have
been made in prices the past week, es
pecially for medium fleeces. Trading in
the West is moderate, as buyers and
sellers remain apart regarding values.
Shearing continues steadily, nut the
hulk of the new' clips Is being consigned
—especially the heavy staple, which is
the least desirable.

OIL TRUST OFFERS,
Promises $1,000,000 Plant and
Other Inducements for Right
to Resume Business.
CHICAGO, May 16—William M
Burton Superintendent of the Stand
ard Oil 'Company of Indiana, to-day
made a special plea before John
Montgomery, Jr., commissioner of the
Supreme Court of Missouri, asking
that the company be permitted 4.0 do
business in Missouri.
He said if permitted to operate in
Missouri the Standard Oil Company
would spend $1,000,000 on the Sugar
Creek refinery at Kansas City, and
supply the State with a sub-motor *
fuel to take the place of gasoline,
which would be sold at 3 cents a
gallon less than present day gaso
line prices.
Seven or eight years hence." said
Burton, "the price of gasoline may
leach any figure. If we are per
mitted to open up in Missouri we
will enter the State as a competitive f
company and spend $1,000,000 on ihe#
Sugar Creek refinery.”
He said that, if the company were
kept out of the State under the rul
ing of the Supreme Court in April
last year, the cost of this sub-fuel
will be as great in Missouri as gas
oline on account of the extra charges
for shipping.
He promised that, if permitted to
enter Missouri, the Standard Oil
Company w r ould keep its books open
for official examination at any time.
