varieties of greenstuffs, the supply of

out the immedlate section, as well as
over the entire State, is seriously dam

time of the year home gardens are

NEW ORLEANS, May 10.—Liverpool
showed the full advance due and quoted
;}'l(\tl higher with sales of 10,000 bales.
here was nothing in the press to sub
stantiate yesterday's (Feace talk, which
may rather be regarded as a lever to
lift sf’nnuluuon In cotton from a state of
Indifference in which it has been for
many months, while the real cause for
the advance in cotton i{s the ascumulat
ed short lnterelt' which has not yet
been satisfied. Neither foreign nor do
mestic mills have the Lupply needed
until new crop is available. There is
much more to buy. The advance yes
terday was rapid and the feeling this
mnrniuy In our contract markets gas
generally reactionary,
()penlng trades were 6 to 10 points
lower, which was followed by a rally
above yesterday's closing prices ot':‘lx to
attract further selling to realize and on
the ldea of reaction. The,situation of
spots and old crops is unchanged and
favorable to a further advance, while
Cew crops on the records and experience
f all former seasons have probably ar
rived at a selling level. It takes some
time to effect the logical separation be
tween old and new cro‘u in the mind of
the trade and the market.
Final quotations from all Southern
spot markets show a general demand for

CHICAGO, May 10.—James E. Bennett
& Company received the following crop
advices: “Cerro Gordo, 111., writes the
following: ‘Have traveled considerably |
through central Illinois and it looks like
about 60 per Ic:)nt of a crop of wheat.”
Letter from uisiana, Mo., says will
have the shortest crop of wheat since
1904. Mexico, Mo., wr?tes about 40 per
cent of a crop of wheat. From Moberly
to here they will raise about enough to
seed with, South of Louisiana, toward
St. Louis, looks about 60 to 75 per cent
of the ecrop. About 50 per cent of corn
ground plowed that is not under water,
and planting is pretty general. Oats'
acreage in this vicinity rather light.” i
s . - - ‘
George M. LeCount wires Finley, Bar
rell & gg. from Wichita, Kans., under
date of May 7, as follows: ‘‘Drove sixty |
miles today. Wheat affected by green
bu?‘a and Hessian fly. Fifty per cent js
sickly, spindly and small, with color|
poor, balance gives promise of only an
average crop. Soil is very dry and rain|
is badly needed. Very little corn up.
Soil {8 so dry seed can not germinate. |
Weather is hot and windy.” ;
- - - w
‘Wichita, Kans., wires to C. H. Thayer
& Co.: 'Just returned 200-mile auto
trip. Wheat doesn’t look right—thin,
spindly, lots of fly and needs rain.” |
- . -
Bartlett, Frazier & Co. have following
from 8. O, Bartlett & Co., Peoria, 111,,
under date of May 8: “Weather fine
this morning. Farmers all planting corn
and will finish in a good many places
this week. Don’t look for much deliver
fes of grain at country stations until
after the corn planting, when we will
get a big movement of corn and oats.
We bought the last few days at our
country stations over 75,000 bushels
oats.”
* - .
Logan & Bryan received a letter from
Johm-Inglis, dated from St, Charles, Mo.,
May 6: “Weather favorable last week.
Where there has been anything like a
stand, conditions have lm?roved. Along
Missouri River bottoms only nbon:it 85 per
cent of last year's acreage seeded. Some
good wheat, but present prospects do
not warrant more than 50 per cent of a
crop on acresge seeded. On the uplands
across the whole State much has been
plowed up and 50 per cent still standing
will either be put into corn or summer
followed. Fields thin and bare spots
larger than are the fringes where some
wheat is showing up. Weeds also show
ing up. At Carrolton examined wheat
in third joint for fly; found none. On
the bluff in St. Charles County some
fair wheat; the same is true in St. Louis
County. Not much corn planted yet.
Large acreage in oats. Pastures have a
good bottom and are now able to take
care of all stock.”
