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.

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. • • • Copper repoH shows decrease of 15,- 000,006 pounds as of September 1. Bartlett-Fr*azler Co say: "Wheat— We will probamy have a somewhat lower market to-day. but do not look for any material break. "Corn The effort made Friday and Saturday to depress prices will no doubt continue -otday, but we believe corn should be bought on all such depres sions. as we are confident of very much higher prices. "Oats Prefer long side on weak spots.” Missouri State report Issued Saturday makes the condition of corn 41.8 per cent, against 70 last month and 87 last y ear, wdien crop was 243,000.000 bushels Twentv per cent of crop Is cut.

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.
