Conditions Reversed From Those
of a Year Ago—Western
Markets Are Improving.
BOSTON, May 23.—Wool business lo
cally is irregular The leading feature
of the past week has been the opening
and sale of some new clip territory
wools. These wools are selling very
slowly, the present condition being al
most a complete reversal of ihat pre
vailing a year ago No further sacri
fice sales of old wools are reported. Few
leading houses have any volume of wool
to offer. Conditions in the West are
Improving from the dealers' standpoint,
as growers have moderated to some ex-
lent their demands Buyers also have
changed their attitude a little The en
deavor to market the new clip wools,
however, is so difficult as to prevent
free buying in the West ai the level of
prices recently quoted.
Receipts of wool In pounds for the
week ended and including Wednesday

nt, as a rule, has
spring and lias sold whenever a profes
sional speculator or a merchant would
buy. All along speculative shorts in
numbers have counted on favorable
weather and favorable crop reports to
depress the market and give them op
portunity To cover at a profit All this
was. of course, based on their belief in
» balanced market Belligerent hears
never for a moment imagined that the
public would drop out or that the trade
would turn into a sponge.
“Recently the weather became ex
tremely favorable and the c
the crop reports reflected
provement But becaitse th
terest in the main is held by the
hrid is not for sale, nobody stood
to feed contracts to the market ami ex
pectant shorts began to discover ti t to

'On Monday shorts were made ner-
'<»us by the drift of the market On
I’uesdav they were worried on Wed
nesday they were apprehensive and on
Thursday they were excited. Under the
circumstances high pri*-* people experi
enced no difficulty in obiaining a hear
ing for bullish data and when they
lalked of the possibility of ton much
rain to follow In the wake of too much
drouth floor traders gathered round the
weather boards and talked in whispers.
SPINNERS' TAKING FOR
jinfall were received during the
ntire dav. There was fear among the
orals of too much rain, which stimu-
. »«*d a general covering wave.
During the afternoon session the mar- ,
ket was quiet. The principal feature!
was th-* steady buying of late positions.!
wnicn held steady around the opening J
quotations. May. July and August
fluctuated about the early low level,!
Many believe there is still a large spot j
interest in the market. The late weath- j
nr map was favorable, h# there was:
considerable comment on some heavy j
rains in f he central belt. The strength j
o' -he market is explained by trade'
buying.
The ling evidently went long during
ear;* part of the day and during the
last i alf-hour of trading they began to
unload considerable cotton, resulting in

Reports From Throughout State
Show Only 52 Per Cent of Cot
ton Is Abo/e Ground Yet. I
ATLANTA MARKETS I
J. J. Conner, State Commissioner
of Agriculture, said Friday the tains
of this week would prove a wonderful
benefit to the cotton 9 that has not yet
Tome up. Reports showed, he said,
that only 52 per cent of the crop was
up. The crop is late on an average of
thirteen days throughout the State.
“The showers of last night and ear
lier in the week will work mirfieles in
gardens," said he. "But so far as cot
ton is concerned, it would be better if
the rains would stop altogether now —
that is, if the fall we have had in
Atlanta has been general.
“After the cotton crop gets up, it
doesn't need much rain, rain brings
glass."
Reports to the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture from 65 counties
are favorable. Only a few counties
are still suffering from the drouth.
Spring oats are turning out poorly,
but fall oats are fine.
All crops are well cultivated. The
dry weather has given farmers plenty
of time. Demonstrators declare a
greater number of farmers will follow
their oat crops with sowings of peas
and other short crops, showing a
greater tendency toward diversifica
tion

COTTON SEED OIL.
N1: w YORK, Maj 88.—The cotton
seed oil market was firm on covering j
of shorts to-day. buying believed to be
for refiners and local bull support. The |
upturn brought nut some scattered prof
it-taking. outside speculative demand
disappointing and consuming interests
display little interest at present. There
was some selling of December against
purchases of new crude.
HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER, j
NEW ORLEANS, May 23. Excepting!
that it is too cool, a condition, however, |
which will not last more than a day or!
two weather developments overnight
were very favorable.
A rain formation is directly over the
Atlantics and general rains and cooler
weather are indicated for the Eastern
States, while fair weather will prevail
over the Western half with rising tem
peratures.
The press gives grave political news.
London reports a serious battle between
Greeks and Bulgarians and the peace
conference delayed.
Liverpool was disappointing and
weakened further in the last hour; spoi
sales only 6.000 at 6 points advance. Po
litical developments with consols ' 4 low
er must have caused an unfavorable
impression. Trading here was quieter
this morning. Prices eased repeatedly,
hut support appeared on depressions arid
held October to 11.30.

MODERN MILLER CROP OUTLOOK.
ST. LOUIS. May 23.—This is the first
week since winter wheat was planted
that reports regarding the condition of
the crop are conflicting. There is hardly
any doubt that the crops have gone
backward, yet it appears that the de
terioration is confined to small areas
and is not of a serious nature. In many
localities the crop is losing color, and
is uneven and stand not up to the ear
lier promise, but timely rains would be) •
much benefit. '
In the southwestern part of the belt
lack of rain is felt most, and there are
reports of damage by chinch bugs It
will take only one more good rain in
the near future and a few showers later
on to bring the crop to maturity. Most
of the wheat has headed In a falrlv
satisfactory way. but the rapid growth
noted for some time past has not been
maintained, as the colder and dry*
weather has retarded growth and in <
some localities the straw is short. The *
harvest which the conditions up to a
week ago indicated would be exception
ally early will be delayed to some extent,
yet should be no later than in a normal
sense.
WHEAT LEADERS BULLISHLY
INCLINED ON CROP SCARE
CHICAGO, May 23.—The Inter-Ocean
says:
"With a crop scare on wheat, traders
are looking for active markets and good
fluctuations. There were more bulls to he
found and conservative people are in
clined to favor the buying side on all
good breaks.
"It was the belief of the trade last
night that with any Increase in outside
buying and a continuation of unfavorable
crop reports, higher prices are likely
Com is looked upon as a weather prop
osition. A number of local traders who
are bullish were heavily long last night,
The trade is not looking for much of a
decline, hut ^t the same time they ad
vise caution in making purchases or.
bulges
“Sentiment in oats is more favorabU
to the buying side, and there is a dis
position to take hold on every dip ir.
prices. It was the gossip after the
close that May corn shorts would dc
well to cover as soon as possible “
