Total absence of relief from sizzling temperatures in the West,
together with extremely inspiring war news, bad crop advices and
light offerings, was the basis for another runaway bull market in
cotton Saturday, which sent all options into new high ground for
the movement. :
Offerings were light at the start. Stop orders were caught.
Twenty-three stations in Texas reported temperatures at 100 to
104 degrees. First prices in New York were 7 to 35 points net‘
higher. Demand became persistent after the call, with spot firms
and trade houses heavy buyers. Liverpool also was large buyers.
The market exhibited an inflexible undertone, with values soaring
with pronounced rapidity. Ocober boomed to 30.42, while Decem
ber reached 29.95, January 29.90 and March 29.92. These levels
represented a net gain of 111 to 127 points—ss.ss to $6.35 a bale.
A similar gain was recorded at New Orleans, with October
reaching 29.19, December 28.99 and January 29.06. 3
During the final few minutes of trading demand broadened,
shorts fearing no relief over Sunday from Texas drouth. There
was a disposition in few quarters to realize over the holiday, but
offerings readily were absorbed. |
At the highest levels the New York market displayed a gain
of 297 to 307 points from last Saturday’s close—a gain of $14.75 to
$15.35 a bale. |
At 30.42, October New York stood 206 points lower than the
high record established on April 4, last—highest in history of the
New York Cotton Exchange.
Swot cotton in New York was officially quoted 115 points high
er a# 33.20 cents a pound, which compares with the high mark of
36 ewats on April 4. |
Atlanta spot cotton was only quoted 20 points higher at 32.20
cents a pound. This does not cover the entire advance in futures.
Atlanta spots are basis good middling, while New York spots rep- |
resent midding. ‘

this with several days of cool

day, with many of those issues selling
at the highest points reported in sev
eral weeks, -

United Cigar Stores made an ad
vance of 3-8 to 101 1-2,
Liberty 3 1-2's again sold at 100.02,

IRON AGE REVIEW.
The Iron Age says:
“In respect to steel supply and de
mand, the outcome of the week has been
first a decision by the War Industries
Board averse to creating the additional
reserve of ship steel asked for by Di
rector General Schwab; second, the
gathering of data showing that the
33,000,000 tons of the finished rolled,
steel, which has been taken as the pres.
ent annual capacity of the country, i 8
considerably too low, The war indus
tries board is confident there will be
no break in the shipbuilding program
for lack of steel.
“Ways and means of increasing steel
Eroduct!on have been carefully studied,
ut coal and coke labor are still the
key, rather than extension of rolling mill
capacity,
“Statistics for last month show that
to increase pig iron output is no easy
matter. August humidity probably will
bring down production, but an increas
ed rate would otherwise result from the
blowing in of additional furnaces. The
gc}ive list shows a net gain of eight in
July.
‘ln the Chicago district there is some
‘axitatmn among mplement manufactur
ers for the reducton in the price of
bars, on the ground that steel cost is
out of line with the present scale of
profits in their industry.”

ALL CROPS DETERIORATED IN }
‘l JULY, SAYS STATE FIELD AGENT
e e e Ne e N et e P Bt P it el et ettt
By Z. R. PETTET,
State Field Agent, United States Department of Agriculture, Bureau of
Crop Kstimates.
During the past month all erops deteriorated rapidly during
the first twenty days on account of insufficient moisture. At the
end of the third week showers commenced which have continued
to date. Following the needed rains, all crops picked up, slowly
at first, but toward the end of the month with greater rapidity.
! By August 1 most of the heavier feeding field erops had almost
recovered their previous excellent eondition.
Corn suffered severely in a wide belt across the middle of the
State. Even here the grain is not bad, although the stalks are
much under the usual size. On either side of this band of inferior
'('orn we have exceptional erops of the cereal, so that our total
| produetion will not show a loss as some had predicted.
1 N T 2
Estimate on the yield of winter
grains, which will be found appended,
are several points below what we ex
pected. The straw gave promise of a
very good crop, but the heads did not
fill properly and the grain was H%ht. In
view of this fact provision sheuld be
made immediately for saving the best of
the crop for seed.
Much interest is taken this year in
the syrup crops, sorghum and sugar
cane. The first of these is about as us
ual, but the gugar cane is small and
late. For some time there was doubt
whether the crop would make. Ample
moisture has worked a great change,
Asgide from being late we may now ex
pect a yield only a few points under the
average.
In the boll weevil sections the fnrmers‘
have been trying out many new cropa‘
to take the place of cotton. Among

I Acreages are derived from the census,
altered each year in accordance with es-
Itlmates of thousands of correspondents,
‘tnbulnted. and revised by the Crop Re
porting Board at Washington,
Condition flgures are similar estimateg
based on a theoretical NORMAL, which
a crop made under favorable circum
stances and which promise a full yield.
The normal crop is always higher than
the average crop. tI is represented by
the figure 100,
There has been a decline of three or
four points in the condition of cotton
since the last report, due to drouth and
weevil. Practically all of the State was
too dry during July for best growth. In
the North this lowered the condition as
much as ten {‘mlms in some sections. In
the South it helped to hold the weevil in
check and consequently the decline was
no so great in that region. Splendid and
widespread rains just previous to report
date caused the crop to pick up rapidly
and the improvement is continuing ex
wceP)t where excess rain has since fallen.
Diseases and insects merit mention
this month, Red Spider is very bad in
the northwest, Chattooga County, par
ticularly, reporting great damage. All
other North Georgia districts are also
having trouble with this pest. Rust is
very prevalent since the rain. Blackroot
is doing some harm in the eastern sec
tion.
Most important, of course, is the boll
