COTTON THIS WEEK
New Orleans. —The local cotton mar
ket last week recorded net advances of
44 points on September commitments
and 34 to 37 points on those for the
other months, except June and July,
which showed gains of 31 points each.
A continuous, heavy spot demand,
both in this country and abroad com
bined with weather conditions had the
effect of inducing renewed interest in
the long sidp of the market, and except
for Intermittent downward fluctuations,
caused mainly by profit-taking sales, the
course of values has been steadily up
ward.
The outlook for this week is. of ne
cessity. for higher prices. Even should
there be better weather conditions in the
western belt and the eastern cotton states
should get a share of the rainfalls; it
still will be argued that the crop al
ready is late and a large measure of
practically irreparable damage has
done.
Old stocks are becoming exhausted and
the mill demand is largely unsatisfied.
These conditions point to still higher
prices than those already recorded, and
leaves the bearish element almost un
armed for offensive masurs.
CHICAGO nRAIN MARKET
Chicago. Ills.—Wheat tohay showed
strength on account of continued spread
of Hessian fly damage to crops. The
market opened a shade off to 1-2 up and
made a slight further gain but then lost
virtually all of the advance on profit
taking by bulls.
Dry weather and firm rabies gave a
lift to corn. Huying power, though,
was soon exhausted. Prices started a
sixteenth down to 1-4&3-8 higher and
after a little additional rise fe’l back to
about Saturday night’s level.
Oats were governed by tho action of
Wheat and corn.
Provisions responded to an upturn in
the hog market.
Renewed strength in wheat followed
reports of the rapid spread of Hessian
fly and the close was unsettled. l-Bal-4
lower to 1-2 higher net. Corn broke
sharply on account of increased offer
ings here to arrive. The close was
nervous 5-8 to 7-Salc net lower.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York.—An opening bulge drove
ptock exchange shorts to cover, but after
their immediate demands had been sat
isfied the market grew quiet. Prices
wete shaded slightly toward noon, but
the greater part of the early advance
was retained. Speculative sentiment
was cheerful.
There was no definite information on
which to base bullish operations and
board room gossip dealt chiefly with
the prospects for an early decision in
the freight rates case and the more
hopeful feeling regarding the bus ness
outlook.
The market closed easy. In final trad

There seems to be no good reason
given as to what is causing the con
tinued delay.
President Rice says that the city
is as much, if not more, interested in
the building of the new postoffice as
the merchants' association, and
states that in his opinion the city is
the proper party to take the matter
in hand.
An effort was made to have the city
send a representative to Washington
in an attempt to have the work be
gun, but as yet the city has taken no
action in the matter.
The people are very anxious, ac
cording to the general sentiment, tS
see work started on the site, whict
has been marked off now for many

to consult opinion of constitutionalist
and other leaders In Mexico.
Not Surprised.
Washington.— The information that
the Mexican delegates had been given
provisional authority to submit the
resignation of Huerta did not occasion
great surprise here, as close friends
of the Huerta government’s commis
sion broadly intimated yesterday that
definite elimination of the dictator
probably would he one of the, first
fruits of the Niagara Falls confer
ence.
It was emphasized today that the
men chosen to act for the Mexican
federal government are not pre-emi
nently “Huertatlstas” but represent
the broader views of best citizens of
the federal districts and are desirous
above all else of pacifying the repub
lic.
No Hint.
There was no hint in official circles
today as to what form of government
might succeed the Huerta regime. It
was expected however, that the Unit
ed States would not sanction the ele
vation to supreme authority of any
Mexican who had gained his preemi
nence "by arbitrary power.”
No Rebel Army Man.
Washington—" The Huerta dele
gates never will agree to the selection
for provisional president of any of
the constitutionalist military men,”
said a man who had a long talk with
the Huerta representatives here yes
terday. “They are not suggesting
any names, however, for provisional
president nor are they going to make
suggestions to the mediators unless
asked as they are expecting the ini
tiative to come from th- three South
American diplomats. They want
some one, however, for provisional
president who will guarantee a fair
election to all parties concerned and
who has not been a lilitary partisan.
Of course this would not exclude a
number of men who have been in
sympathy with the constitutionalists,
but not military leaders.”
To Go the Limit.
This view coincided with that ob
tained from other persons who had
informal talks with the Huerta dele
gates here. The three Mexicans did
not divulge the nature of their long
conference with Huerta before their
departure hut a man who knows the
viewpoint of the three men said
“ They are prepared to go the limit
In the way of concessions and will
recommend to Huerta [he reasonable
thing. People who talked with the
Huerta delegates said they realized
the situation has progressed far be
yond the Tampoci incident and that at
Niagara Falls they woudl he confront
ed with settling the broad problem of
restoring peace to Mexico.”

WEEK’S FINANCE REVIEW
New York,—Encouragement came to
the financial community 1 Ht week from
several sources When the advance in
strx-ks halted there was little disposi
tion to give ground. The sustained
prospect for crops of record-sise, better
feeling in the steel trade and hope of
avoiding further entanglement in Mexico
were main features. Behind the day
today condit on of crops l*y growing
realization of the results achieved by
scientific farming and wide increase of
acreage.
Hteel trade authorities based their new
found hopefulness on anticipation of
1 (tier things rather than on actual Im
provement. These views had little fun
gible basis to go on, hut the stock mar
ket's dec's ve response to the sentiment
worked back to confirm It in the trade.
Near expiration of Import int oontra* ts
aroused hopes of an early buying move
ment. Relief came from pitching up of
week positions in the London market.
There were infimntlons of the early
issue of a $4^*.000,000 French govern
ment loan, which lias long b»en a walte I

gold from New Yo r k is an aid to

shrinkage in the excess of merchandise
exports over Imports, by the sluggish
ness of demand for commercial purposes
and by the reduction of legal bank re

be expected to carry with it a down
