The largo acreage was the result of the poor corn crop and the dry summer and fall, which caused many farmers to put in more wheat than usual, as an in surance against the future, and in some sections to provide a late pasture the latter event having been well realized.

"The weather map shows cloudy over the entire belt and raining In Texas, Oklahoma and Atlantic coast; precipitation scattered; light frost." • • ♦ The New Orleans Times-Democrat says. "Completion of the currency bill and a decidedly better feeling in the cotton market came simultaneously. Better times generally - in all lines of American trade ar«* promised. Europe now talks optimistically regarding the financial outjook, and points to the larger bank reserves and an advance in British sonsols as a substantial reason therefor. "The currency measure has been a source of discussion in the cotton mar ket during some days past by reason of Its adverse effect on New York, where nothing could be seen in it other than a well planned move to rob tlu* metrop olis of its long enjoyed domination over tTie business finances of tlie country. Such domination has. of course, result ed in a direct and continuous tax on the business of tlu* country, which tax has passed inti* the coffers of New York’s bankers and business men, all of which bail become regarded by them ns an inherent right Quite naturally when the Government's determination to dis tribute opportunity and benefit more evenly throughout the country assumed definite form in the shape <-f regional reserve banks, thus eliminating New York as the sole reserve city, the a»t rnosphere in the nietropoUtan began to become blue, and as the blueness deep- mosphere in the •cr-tropolls began to hear about It in terms so shaped as to fit each local condition. In the course of time the effect of exploitation reached the strings of the nearby purse, on which cotton carriers depend for their money. "pessimism begets pessimism, just as fear begets fear, and actual cotton be gan to seek buyers." * * • Cotton goods judges are selling only on rallies.—New York Financial Bu reau.
