Liverpool straddlers and ring traders
sold, but the demand continued excel
lent. The continued strength of the
market, despite expectations of a decline
after a rise of over 20 points, is attrib
uted to continued buliish spot and crop
advices from the South. A wire from
New Orleans stated that spot people
say factors and holders aer not consid
erfnr quotations at all and that 12%
minimum price is asked and offerings
are small,

Business continues to improve on Pro

were snowed under with orders for all
varieties of greenstuffs, the supply of
which ~being sufficient to meet all de
mands. The prevailing drouth through
eut the immediate section, as well as
over the entire State, is seriously dam
aging vegetable crops. Usually at this
time of the year home gardens are
moving, which naturally restricts busi

dealers are finding a ready market for

make Atlanta dependent upon Alabama
and Tennessee for berries, as the home

Lettuce continues a very scarce ar

Bmall size oranges have the call, but
the supply is far insufficient to meet re

Daily Cotton Lett
NEW ORLEANS, May 10,—Liverpool
showed the full advance due and quoted
spots higher with sales of 10,000 bales,
There was nothing in the press to sub
stantiate yesterday’'s peace talk, which
mAy rather be regarded as a lever to
Hrt #aocu!atlon In cotton from a state of
indifference in, which it has been for
many months, while the real cause for
the advance in cotton is the accumulat
ed short interest, which has not yet
been satisfled. Neither foreign nor do
‘mestic mills have the supply needed
until new crop is available, There is
much more to buy. The advance ves
terda{ was rapid and the feeling this
morn nT in our contract markets gas
gendrally reactionary.
Openlng trades were 6 to 10 points
lower, which was followed by a rally
above yesterday's closing prices only to
attract further selling to realize and on
the idea of reaction. The situation of
spots and old crops is unchanged and
favorable to a further advance, while
’gow 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 crops in the mind of
the trade and the market.
Final quotations from all Southern
Bpot markets show a general demand for
spot sand ‘;‘»ricu yvesterday advanced %
to a 4 with Texas markets quoting over
13 cents,
Weather conditions are only partly fa
vorable. Temperatures ranged unusual
ly high over Oklahoma, Arkansas, north
Texas and the absence of rain over the
Atlantics is a bullish item. Indications
favor fair, warmer in the Atlantics, but
increasing cloudiness and cooler in cen
tral and western belt. Loeal cyclonic
disturbances for Oklahoma and north.
west Texas probable, with a tendency to
general rains, followed by what is pre
sented on the map as an unusually pro
nounced cold wave. It will come on the
grain States and should be felt over the
northwestern quarter of the cotton belt
toward Saturdey.

’ CHICAGO, May 10.—James E. Bennett
& Company received the following erop
;advlces: “Cerro Gordo, 111, writes the
following: ‘Have traveled considerably
through central Illinois and it looks like
‘about 60 per cent of u crop of wheat.’
Letter from Louisiana, Mo., says will
have the shortest crop of wheat since
1904. Mexico, Mo., writes 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, lcoks abotit 60 to 75 per cent
of the crop. About 50 per cent of corn
ground plowed that is not under water,
and plantlni is pretty general. Oats
acreage in this vicinity rather light.”
- - .
George M. LeCount wires Finley, Bar
rell & Co. from Wichita, Kans., under
date of May 7, as follows: ‘‘Drove sixty
miles todag. Wheat affected by green
bugs and Hessian fly. Fifty per cent is
sickly, spindly and small, = with color
poor, balance gives promise of only an
average crop. Seil is very dry and rain
is badly needed. Very little corn up.
Soil {s so dry seed can not germinate.
Weather is hot and windy.”
o * -
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 S. O. Bartlett & Co., Peoria, Ili.,
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
ies 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
John Inglis, dated from St. Charles, Mo.,
May 6: ‘“Weather favorable last week.
Where there has been anything like a
stand, conditions have Imyroved. Along
Missouri River bottoms only about 65 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 acreage 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

in third joint for fly; found none. On

Large acreage in oats. Pastures have a
