IMMEDIATE DELIVERIES
OF DRY GOODS WANTED
Marshall Field & Co., In their weekly
review of the dry good* trade, says:
“Interest in the dry goods trade cen
ters principally on immediate busi
ngs. The extreme hot weather of the
early part of the week interrupted fall
business somewhat, but the cooler days
following brought a large number of
buyers into the market. Road sales
show a fair Increase ov»r the corre
sponding period a year ago.
"The cotton goods market has been
excited on account of the advance in the
price of raw cotton, due to the severe
drouth in certain cot ton-growing States
as renorted by the Government. This,
together with the known scarcity of
merchandise, is causing retailers to
place orders on domestics freely for their
current wants.
"The sale of silks for the fall trade
indicates tha* this is going to he one
of the best silk seasons for a number of
vears A condition exists in the silk
industry that has not been duplicated
in the history of the business. A short
rrop of silk Is reported in Japan and
Italy, there is a scarcity of manufac
tured lines on band and price* are ad
vancing steadily."

will give you the necessary self-con
fidence. Second, that you are not the
only energetic person wha thinks that
these splendid prizes are worth trying
for. This will keep you from being
too sure of yourself, and will prevent
you from getting indolent and so
missing your aim by a little inactiv
ity. which you would always regret.

RENEWED BUYING

Good News From Washington and
Strong Cables Send Values
Across I3-Cent Level.
NEW YORK Sept. 8.—As a result of
an announcement from Washington that
the Senate bill taxing cotton futures 50
cents a bale would not be effective for
a year, coupled with much better ca
bles than expected, commission houses
were overwhelmed with buying orders
over Sunday and the market to-day
was up 24 to 44 points in consequence.
Weather an<i crop dispatches were prac
tically Ignored in view of the news from
Washington. The feeling was that for
a time, at least, the market would be
governed as much by Washington news
as by crop conditions.
The census report, giving the number
of bales of cotton ginned to September
l at 794,006, as compared with 730,935
last year and 771,297 bales for the same
time in 1911, had little or no effect and
fell flat on the market. After prices
had increased their gain about 7 points
from the opening an active selling move
ment developed, which was believed to
represent profit-taking by longs The
ring also sold. The late weather map,
showing good rains in Texas, wdth in
dications pointing to showery weather
over the larger part of the cotton belt
and cooler In the northern third of the
belt, was responsible for the selling.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept, 8.-LJverpool
had the advantage over our markets In
respect to the change in date of the
Clarke measure, and came In about 12
points better than due. Spots 4 point*
lower. Sales 8,000 bales.
The census report gives 794,000 bales
ginned to September 1, against 730.935
last year While the large Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas glnnings are partly
due to unfavorable drouth conditions
the large glnnings In Alabama, Florida,
Georgia and oSuth Carolina are evident
ly the result of larger crops normally
matured.
Our markets continued very steady at
the advance. There was much liquida
tion last week, owing to the ''ear that
the Clarke measure would become ef
fective imemdiately, but now that h
year's respite has been granted, the feel
ing is more hopeful and bullish inter
ests were replaced In th market, causing
advances. It is also thought that for
eign merchants and consumers will now
enter the market more freely' for spots.

Copper metal Is running short in Eu
rope and the price is steadily advanc
ing. Cables stated that there is no
copper left for September delivery in
London and little ror October delivery.
On this shortage of the metal the price
went to the equivalent of 16% cents.
Amalgamated shares rose sharply on the
n^ws. Confidence in the ability of the
company to continue the payment of 6
per cent dividends is greatly strength
ened by the sharp rise in the price of
copper and that was the basis of the
advance in the price of the stock.

B W. Snow says "My advices from
agents in all parts of the wheat, belt
are showing increasing uneasiness o%er
; plowing situation. In Missouri, Ne
braska. Kansas. Iowa and Southern IXH-
i nols the ground has been and continues
to lie *0 dry ami hard that plowing d*
slow and difficult, and It Is already 6vi-
dent that seeding will be very Late, lit
the districts indicated there is a gen
' < ral Impression now that the full acre-
1 age can not be prepared In time fijr
eeding -even if full relief by rain comAs
at once." ’--.(-T

A great deal of stress is being laid
upon the supposed heavv carry-over of
old corn, but it looks a* If the okl »toctts
are being overestimated. Mr. Snow tells
I me that his report on September^!
I showed only 260,000.000 bushel* of
com on farms on that date, and a re
cent statement from another crop expert
shows practically the same figures. ~Tt
is evident the carry-over of old. corn 4*
actually little different from the aVer r
age.
The character of the season acoounis
for this disappearance of the supposediy
big carry-over, as the lack of pastures
has caused abnormally heavy use .of
corn for the past t Wf > months. It looks
now like a short com crop and only the
usual amount to carry over from +fie
old crop.— Rycroft.

In two months our exports have been
more than 50,000,000 bushel*, and fqr
three months will likely aggregate 7fr"-
000,000 This takes quite a weight off
the market for the balance of the crop
year and with all food products so high
and likely to rule higher, wheat Hhould
do materially better. Bartlett. Frazier
