However, the faJJ sown oats, put in with a grain drill, will make out all right, notwithstand ing the dry weather. About two-thirds | of the corn crop has come to a stand, i while some fields have not yet been j planted. Where corn has been given a I cultivation L is looking well, j "Not more than one-half of the cot ton crop has come to a stand. One- | third of the crop has not yet been plant- I ed. However, the farmers are in a : very hopeful frame of mind, and are going ahead in a determined way. It is not too late to make a crop. A failure this year would go hard with the farm- I ers, as the cotton crop has been a fa.fl- i ure fer the last two years.

WASHINGTON, May 15. -"There is no threatening cloud in the busi ness atmosphere of United States.” declared Jatnes J. Hill, rail road kmg of the Northwest, who is in Washington on business. Mr. Hill was discussing the exist ing economic conditions of the coun try and the probable -industrial con ditions of the near future. As if to give added emphasis to the above statement, he said: *T see no menace to our national progress in the present industrial sit uation. Rather the existing situation leads me to take a somewhat opti mistic view of our future. The only danger to continued industrial pros perity lies in the people themselves. “The tendency of the people to seize upon false rumors of impend ing industrial upheavals—and these rumors, usually having their birth in irresponsible quarters, ure always a danger with us. "If the people keep their heads, if they do not become angry at some temporary ill that may look big to them as a portent of industrial panic, the country will continue to progress along prosperity lines.” COTTON GOSSIP PROVISION MARKET.

The re port said that the crop is about ten days late in Texas. • * • The New York Commercial says: A J*p walked into a Broadway commission house yesterday and stood gazing at the board a while. Then he picked up the cotton tape and studied it attentive ly. The manager politely' asked him whether he understood the figures. "Sure I do,” replied the Jap in the best ver nacular, and proceeded to extract from Ills pockets a handful of charts. He had charts of cotton prices, others of wheat movements, still others of coffee and finally a curious maze of lines to indi cate the stock market. After consult ing them he announced that July cot ton was headed toward 12 cents and that coffee was a purchase at current levels. Then he made his exit. “Well, it does seVm as if Japs make charts of everything from markets to fortifica tions.” observed the manager. “Perhaps lie is getting ready to blow up the stock market.” suggested a loafer. • * * Liverpool cables: “American middling fair, 7.26d; good middling, 6.92d; mid dling, 6.72/1; low middling, 6.58d; good ordinary. 6.24d; ordinary, 5.90d. * * * Atlanta dispatch to Journal of Com merce states that notwithstanding the fact that.for nearly five weeks practi cally no rain has fallen in Georgia, the State Department of Agriculture pre dicts a “bumper” cotton crop this yefcr fbr that State. * * * Dallas wires: "Texas Panhandle clear, rest cloudy; some good rains east ern part; Oklahoma generally cloudy: rains central.” • ♦ • NEW ORLEANS. May 15.—Hayward K Clark: The weather map shows cloudy over the entire belt. Some good rains in Arkansas. Showers in North Louisiana and East Tennessee. The map shows no rain elsewhere, but de tailed records at 10 //clock bound to show more precipitation, as telegraph Companies and private reports say rain fall at many points. Indications are for unsettled, showery weather over the entire belt, with increasing certainty of rain in the Eastern States. * * * The detailed Government records show a rather general rainfall in Oklahoma over night. Twelve stations out of a to tal of eighteen show an average of near ly one inch, whereas the weather map this morning gives only .14 at one sta tion. This shows how showers, no mat ter how large, are not always shown on map. We. compare with mill takings for the week last year of 279,000 bales. It is believed that the visible supply will be bearish. • * • The New Orleans Times-Democrat ays; Like a bolt from the blue, the bear contingent hurled defiance in the teeth of the enemy in the shape of an assertion that the new crop is in as good condition as it was at this time in 1911. Of course, hulls ridiculed suon an idea and countered with deficient rainfall re ports. with advices saying replanting on too large a scale for the good of the crop had been made necessary by cool nights, and finally by exploiting a tele gram dated San Antonio, which read: “Many reports of abandoned acreage on account of no germination and too late to replant even if rains come soon. De ficiency in rainfall since January l r 3.54 inches.” • * • The transfer of New York’s protective stock to foreign lands must be assum ing a serious aspect in the eyes of July shorts. It is now reported that a num ber of thousand bales of low grades have been culled out and ear-marked for Bombay. All along Liverpool has ad vised that low grades cotton out of the New York stock would be welcomed there. Thus it would seem that the s’ew York July short has real cause for concern, especially since the New York contract market holds well below Southern spot parity. NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, May IB—New tropa were supported moderately on account of the weather reports at the opening of the cotton market to-day, first prices ranging from 1 point lower to 2 points higher than last night’s close. The tone was steady. Outside trading inter ests are apparently aw'aiting further crop statistics. The market was extremely dull dur ing the late forenoon and prices fluctu ated within a very narrow range, being 1 point higher to 3 points lower than !he opening quotations. Dullness was attributed chiefly to the apathy on the part of the leading professionals, who were inclined to withdraw their atten tion from the market until something new turned up. Sentiment was bearish; also weather reports. The map snows rain storm formations over Southwest Texas, hold ing forth good prospects tor rains; also in the South. North Carolina and South Carolina are forecast to have fair weather, while Florida. Alabama. Geor gia and Mississippi are due to receive local showers. In addition to the bearish weather conditions the impression prevails that the visible supply figures to-morrow and also mill takings will prove a bearish factor. This brought out rather free offerings from the ring and Wall Street, but the market took the selling w r ell and prices were firmly naintained around the initial level. Interest during the afternoon session was plainly centered on now crop posi tions. The local crowd and Wall Street continued to sell on reported rains in the Eastern belt. The market, however, maintained a steady tone, owing to the buying by brokers who were said to be buying for Liverpool Near positions were practically unchanged from the opening, while new crops were 3 to 4 points lower. Every one seems to be waiting for new developments. This coupled with Liverpool being closed Friday and Sat urday will probably cause the market to rule very quiet with a narrow range, but the prevailing tendency seems to be downward as sentiment continues bear ish. The majority of traders seem to be waiting for something to come up so they can sell, believing that the market is too high in the face of predominating bearish sentiment. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net decline of 1 to 2 points from the final quotations of Wed nesday. Following are 11 a m. bids in New York: May 11.41, July 11.54.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 15.—Liverpool is holding around 6d for new crops and awditing developments. Spot sales are very small; total, 5.000 bales. That market will be closed to-morrow and Saturday and may affect spot business. Political news is not prominent at pres ent. but the failure of government se curities to show a rapid recovery would suggest that apprehension has not yet entirely subsided. Detailed government records show rather general precipitation overnight in Oklahoma, twelve stations out of a total of eighteen reporting an average of nearly one inch. The Into-sight movement for the w'eek looks around 75,000 bales, against 95,186 last year. As Liverpool forwardings to mills this week are only 46,000 American, against 67,000 last year, an unfavorable con sumption statement Is indicated for to morrow. So far to-day advices of rain have «'ome from Pine Bluff. Little Rock, Spartanburg and Greenville, South Carolina. The market Is quiet around 11.10 for October. Buying of new crops by Eu rope was again quite prominent this morning and held up the scales against filing on good crop reports and favor able weather reports. It is essentially a waiting market.

NEW YORK, May 15.—Weakness, re sulting from professional operations, dominated the stock market at the opening to-day, American Cotton Oil sustaining the biggest decline with a loss of 3 points. Canadian Pacific, which had been off in London owing to conti nental selling, followed its foreign lead and declined over a point in the first half hour. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was an exception, advancing %. Among the other issues which sold off were Amalgamated Copper. %; United States Steei common. % : Union Pacific, %; Reading, %; Pennsylvania. %; Erie. %; American Can, %. Missouri Pacific and New York, New Haven and Hart ford gained fractionally. The curb was steady. Trading in Americans in London was narrow'. The market was irregular during the forenoon with fractional losses in all the leading issues. Copper dropped % to 74%. Steel was off % at 59%. Read ing advanced % to 159%. Missouri Pacific was up %. At 237% Canadian Pacific was off %. Call money loaned at 3 per cent. The market was sluggish in the last hour, price changes taking the form of fractional recessions. Steel was un changed from its noon level, as was Atchison and Southern Pacific. Union Pacific, Reading and Canadian Pacific shaded. The market closed firm. Government bonds unchanged; other bonds firm. CHICAGO, May 15.—Wheat closed strong, unchanged to %e better. There was a great deal of talk of “fuke” ex port sales coming from the seaboard*and elsewhere, but the final reports claIVned a cash business here of 476,000 busr^ls of which 300.000 bushels was reported as having been taken by exporters. This caused some reaction and advance in the market from the low'est levels reached. The exports of wheat from both coasts during the month of April were 10,737,000 bushels compared with 1,900,000 Bushels for a like period last year. Corn closed %c better. Oats were up %ftz)%c.
