NOVEMBER 8, 1914. 15 LOCAL SALES LARGE! 20 Per Cent Northwest Wheat Trade Done on Exchange.- PORTLAND PRICES STRONG Saturday's Buyers More Interested In Future Than in Prompt Ie ltvery Values in Coun try Holding Well. forty thousand bushels of wheat were old on the Merchants' Excbanga yesterday at strong: prices. Total sales on th ex change during; the week were 203.OO0 bushels of wheat, about 20 per cent of tne entire quantity that changed hands in tne North west during that period, 400 tons of oats and ttOO tons of mitifeed. Since the exchacee was formally opened on Auffiwt 18, wheat sales have been 4U5.000 bushels, while larc Quantities of barley, oats and feed have changed hands. The local exchange Is re- - garded as largely a clearing-house for minor Quantities of grain held by or wanted by dealers, and the brisk demand that has de veloped shows it to be an important factor in the grain trade of this section of the . country, Saturday's sales in detail were as follows: B.0O0 Bu. bluestem. last half Jan... $1-23 5.0HU Bu. bluestem. prompt... l.lStt 1.15Vi 10.Wo Bu. club, December....; 15,Oio Bu. club, prompt '. &,0H Tin. red Russian, prompt lOO Tons oats, December.... 300 Tons oats, prompt 200 Tons bran 100 Tons shorts . . 1.1 . . 1.09 . .3O.00 . .21.25 . .22.35 ..3.00 There was more interest In futures than in early delivery, as .shown by the above sales. For December bluestem $1.-0 bid and $1.21 asked, while February blue stem was wanted at $1.13, with no sailers. December red Russian was bid for at $1.09, with sellers holding for $1-11. For December red fife, $1.12 "4 was offered and $1.13 ajked. A bid of $2T was made for January feed barley. The countiw markets were Quieter and Friday's bid prices were repeated, according to advices received at local offices. A comparison of the average local prices of bluestem and club wheat during the first three active months of. this and last year, show the strong position of the U)14 mar ket.

Year ago . . . . l'eur ago GROCERY PRICES MOVING DOWNWARD Uaiir IXt lines and Few Advances In the Fast Month. In discussing the course of staple grocery prices during the past month, F. B. Cooper said: "The ceneral tendency of prices is down ward. Iu October there were decline in 24. commodities, while only seven, show ad vances. The declines were in sugar, roast coffees, dried peaches and prunes, cheese Starch, codfish, rope, noils, cotton twine, ollres in bulk, small white, pink, hayo, Lima and Garavanzos beans, caviar, salad oil, canned pineapple, peaches, apples and apricots, rice and popcorn. The advances nave been in the cereal lines, flour, wheat flakes, -rraham, whole wheat, rye flour and meal. "Regarding the canned roods line, the crop of tomatoes in California Is large and fine, and the pack will only he limited to the canners sales or their ability to finance, surplus. Maine corn is a very short pack. some canners making only s 45 per cent delivery. The Beason was late and early frost caught the crop. Prices on canned t.neamle are the lowest in history, and It is now the cheapest variety of fruit. Con sumers have been quick to realize this, and the demand has been very heavy and will Increase. "There Is a temporary cut la the price of codfish. Alaska herring is very scarce and high. New catch Holland herrintr will ar rive soon. Prices are high, -as the catch was very light, being interrupted by the war, New Norway mackerel will arrive in a few days. The quality Is exceptionally fine and prices reasonable. Owing to the relative cheapness all varieties of salt fish are In heavy demand." The downward movement of prices In the leading commodity markets continues quite pronounced, of the .83 alterations appearing In the 318 quotations received by Dun's Review for the last week In October 68 be ing declines as against only 25 advances. Light supplies of high-grade butter,' eggs and cheese resulted In sharp advances, which. were sympathetically shared In by the me dium and lower qualities. Live meats showed some gain In strength, beef, hogs and sheep moving to a moderately higher level, but pork products and provisions gen erally tended downward. The values of hides were firmly maintained, with slight advances on some varieties, and there was no chance in the strength with which all kinds of leather are held. There has been no improvement In the market for Iron and steel, and prices of certain products show further recession. Among the minor metals copper and lead are practically un changed, while greater strength In antimony and speltor contrasts with another decline In tin. Other articles In which more or less de cline occurred were dried fruits, oils, hemp, hops, sugar, spices, naval stores and numer ous drugs and chemicals. HOP-BUYING OF LARGER VOLUME About One Thousand Bales Are Bought at Close of Week. The demand for hops revived at the close of the week and a good amount of buying . was In progress yesterday. Prices are hold lng about steady on the best grades, but the poorer qualities are weak. The F. S. Johnson Company bought be tween 700 and 600) bales at 8 to 10 cents. Including the Gregg lot of 246 bales at Hllls boro, the St. Clair lot of 292 bales at the same place, the Robblns crop of 29 bales at Whlteson and two carloads from dealers. H. L. Hart purchased a carload at cents. The Lorens crop of 76 bales at Banks was bought by Klaber, Wolf & Natter at 10 cents, and this firm secured another lot at 9 cents. " California wires reported the sale by J. T, Grace of 119 bales of 6 on o mas to Uhlmann at 10 cents and 100 bales of Mendoclnos by Howell A Brown at 0 cents. I GRAPES MAKKET IS BABfi OF Car of California Kmperors Is Due Monday Morning. The close of business yesterday found tne Front-street market completely bare of ffrapes. A car of Emperors In orates Sa due Monday. The season for Tokays Is over and from now on the trade will have to depend mainly on barreled ffrapea. The Valencia orange season is alss draw ing to a close and the navel season will open the last of next week, Vacetables "enrally are unchanged, al thousta tomatoes and enlons are firmer, ow lnjr to rain In California, Poultry Carried u?er, .A sman quantity ot poultry was carried ever on .Front street yesterday. Prices for t-he dear were unchanged. rese4 meats cleaned trp WC) and the market was firm at tne close. wom es mariwtt Mia tirm at the old prices. Dealers consider a higher market ! warranted by the scarcity of fresh Oregon., but buyers object to paying more. Dairy produce markets were unchanged. Hop Sales at SUverton BILVERTON, Or.. Nov. 7. (Special.) Hop buyers made their reappearance in this section during the week, but few of them were willing to pay the prices offered two or three weeks ago. The largest sale was made by A. O. German, of Switzerland, who disposed of 125 bales at 10 ;4 cents and 200 bales at T cents. It ,1s reported that 236 bales or last year's crop was sold at 3 cent a pound. Bank Clearings.

CROP IS HALF MOVED Early Apple Shipments Were . Unexpectedly Heavy. RUSH CAUSED BY WEATHER Output of North-west Now FVund to Be 12.000 Cars, op 1 50 0 Cars Iess Than Estimated on Sep tember 1 Export Sales. A recheck. of the Northwest's 1914 apple crop, completed by the IS'orth Pacific Fruit Distributors In the past week, together with a record of shipments from all of the dis tricts, furnished by the railroads, reveals the Important Tact that substantially one half of the commercial output of Oregon. Washington, Idano and Montana bad been shipped up to November 1. This showing, although a surprise to many shippers, is re garded as accurate. Another feature with a vital bearing on the general market situation for Northwest ern apples brought out is that the total tonnage of the Northwest is almost 1500 cars less than estimated on September 1, when it was announced after an itemized count covering every district that the com mercial production would be a little over 131500 cars. In this connection It will be recalled that the September 1 figure was approximately 10,000 cars less than the usual blossom period forecast. ' Never before were shipments from the Northwest so heavy or so bunched during the fore part of the season as this year. The Weather was largely responsible for this condition. An unusually protracted warm spell preceded picking time and rapidly ripened the early varieties, forcing them on the markets in a hurry. It also prevented the fruit from being stored and compelled ius immediate sale upon arrival In Eastern markets. Incidentally, the quantity of ship ments reported as ripe and over-ripe was unprecedented. For that reason the early varieties . from the Northwest went Into consumpfon almost at once sad are prac Ically off the markets right now. On the other hand, only one-half, by a few cars more or less, of the total tonnage remains to be shipped, and it is estimated that advance orders for over 2000 cars of the late varieties have been booked by the various shipping agencies. Apple consumption on the Pacific Coast Is greater this year than ever before. In fact In some of the larger cities It has been tripled. Apple week and Apple day in the four Northwestern states proved to be an unexpected Impetus to the "buy-a-box-ot-apples" movement which is being vig orously pushed at home this season with the most satisfactory results. The four Northwestern states, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, have a com bined population of approximately 3,000.000 people who will absorb a material portion of the remainder of the late tonnage, al though the Pacific Coast cities of Portland, Spokane Seattle, Tacoma, Vancouver, Vic toria, San Francisco and Los Angeles, with a population of just about 2,000,000 people. will be the more important factors in this consumption. Upon inquiry among the shipping organ lzations it has been ascertained that quite a quantity of the varieties now being har vested will be held for export to the Philip pines. Australia, Hawaii and South Amer ica and that heavy shipments will go tn roup ri the .Panama Canal. It Is evident at this time that the ton nage still to go East Is nowhere near the amount previously anticipated. A very sub stantial portion of the apples now being placed in storage in the Northwest are be ing held for late Spring sales, according to xne statements made by he shipping or ganizations, whose Intention In many In stances is not to release them until as late as March and April. The railroads declare that apple shipments 1 from the Northwest have very noticeably decreased during the last few days. This condition, coupled with the assertions of the shippers. Indicates that future shipments will De mora largely confined to f. o. b. or- I ders and Eastern cold storage and that the riood of cars which marked the early part I of the season has practically ceaaed. COAST FRUITS IX BRITISH MARKETS Price Obtainable on Orejron, 'Washington and California Apple and Pear. Reporting on the British market for Pa cific Coast apples and pear. W. Dennis A bona, of London writing under date of Oc tober 23, say: 'A parcel of boxes of Orexon Winter Nells pears was sold ex Minnetonka and we real ized for the large sizes a price of 15a per box, and for the' laiger counts from 13s down to 10s, according to six. These prices we tuny expect will maintain themselves for the present, but the Quality of this fruit war not up to the standard we have learned to expect from this district, and we could doubtless have drawn better prices had these pears shown up as well as formerly. "There are large quantities of California New towns on the market, and In view of this the prices we were able to obtain, viz.: 0s 6d and tie. we are justified in regarding as a good result. There were cars of Idaho and Washington Jonathans sold, the former were very nice in appearance and made from 6s to 7s per box. The Washington stocks were not so good either as to appear ance of quality, and realised only from 4s 6d for the large sized apples to 6s for the smaller. For California Newtowns the trade In Liverpool has fallen right away; prices, gen erally. were 5s 6d for four-tier clean and green fruit, ana 4s 10 yk d for the four and one-half -tie''." Dennis quotations follow: London Oregon Winter Nells, 10s to 15s per box; Yakima Jonathans, 4s 6d. to 6s per box; Idaho Jonathans, 6s to 7s per box California Newtowns, 5s 6d to 6s per box, Liverpool California Newtown Pippins, 3 hk -tier. Cs 10 d ; 4-tler, 5s 6d ; 4 -tier. 4s lOVad to 0s; Beauty, 4-tIcr. 3s 6d. i ' Apple Trade Prospects In England. Deputy Cdnaul-General C. R. Loop reports from London under date of October t as follows: The United Kingdom In normal times at least, Is presenting a more and more favor- j able market for American apples. Dessert : or "eating" apples are usually Imported from the United States In 40-pound cases 'bushel boxes), while Baldwin and similar varieties are Imported In barrels of 140 pounds. The season for American apples in the London market Is from October to Feb' ruary. More apples come perhaps from Washington than from any other one state, with Oregon and California next for quality. Virginia apples are received, but In smaller quantities. Maine apples arrive In barrels j of 140 pounds. The current English anole i crop Is reported to be considerably above the average. This fact, coupled with the present abnormal conditions in Europe, ren ders difficult any forecast of prices. At present fruit of all kinds is selling much lower than usual. In normal times 10 to 12 days should be reckoned as the time of transit of boats from New York to London, and about 11 to 13 rrom New Orleans to London. 9 MARKETS FAVOR SELLERS. STEADY DEMAND IX ENGLAND FOR AMERICAN WHEAT. Stock at United Klagdom Porta Over estimatedCrop Conaltlesut In ' Coatlaental Countries. Summarizing the British wheat market situation, the London correspondent of ths Northwestern Miller, writes: In ths early part of ths week the market was aeciaeaiy auii, witn an easy tone xor both cargoes and parcels although sellers were 'not st all free in their offerings. The bureau report, still pointing to record yield in the United States, had an Influence, but the indifference of buyers was dus less to that than the knowledge of abundant ready supplies at home. Sellers, were, however, responsive to firmer advices of American markets on Friday, and put up their asking prices 36d, but, buyers still holding aloof, gave way again. There has been renewed Improvement since Mon day, and in spite of the poor demand fully 6d advance Is now held for On cargoes and 3&6d parcels, with a somewhat reserved disposition on the part pf sellers. Only three cargoes have changed hands during the week. White Walla Walla, expected Novem ber, at 4-s 3d; Walla "Walla, expected Oc- tober, 42s 9d; South Australian, shipped June, 44s 6d. ' btocks Below Estimate. I There has been a marked diminution In 1 the quality of English wheat on offer here and in the general run of country murkets, and as a result the recent downward ten dency has been checked with a gain of about 6d, a better demand coming forward at the close. Foreign wheats on spot have also Im proved 36d, with a moderate business pass ing. The regular quarterly statement of stocks of foreign wheat and flour in United King dom ports shows that the 13 weeks' running count up to Sept. 30 went considerably ahead of the actual, with the result that a rectiil catlon of nearly 1.00U.O0O urs. has been neces sary, the total bsing 2,ojO,1'00 qrs., against last week's estlxnato of 3,33o.000. At that the stocks show an increase of 120,000 qrs. over the corresponding date last year. enlDrncnis last week were again on a free scale from America and larger from India, making a total of 1,142,4044 qrs.. of which 1.051.O0O were American and 91.000 Indian. A year-ago shipments were 2.000,000 qrs., but they then included 1,041,000 from Kussia and the Danube, whence nothing at all is now being shipped. 'tne quantity aiioat gamea na.uuo qrs. on the week, standing at 3,685,000, against 4.325.O0O last year. The destinations show considerable variation. This year the United Kingdom and for orders, 2,OOo,000 qrs.; Con tinent. 1.6SO.000. against last year 1.830.0OU and 2,495,000. respectively. With the rectification of the nort stocks the comparison with last year of supplies in first hands in the United Kingdom does not come out as well as the figures given in last weeK s review. i nere are still (esti mated) 5,359,000 qrs. of undelivered wheat in home farmers hands, making with the stocks of foreign already named 7,909,000 qrs. The corresponding time last year farm ers Held O,2o3,wo qrs. and foreipn wheat held in the ports amounted to 2,255.000, In 11 7,408,000 qrs. Sellers Gain on Advices. The eeneral trend of foreien advices has been in favor of sellers. Prices in America have gained somewhat and Australia is practically out of the market. Latest cables from Australia tell of rains in Queensland, relieving the situation there, but in other parts the rainfall is still inadequate and. taken as a whole, the outlook for the next Australian crop Is discouraging. roe weatner in tne united Jvinpaom has been somewhat variable, but much too dry In the south for plowing, and farmwork on the whole has made less progress than de sirable. The question of extension of area in wheat-sowings is saill being debated, but the Impression gains ground that with good weather for farmwork there will be a fair increase In acreage. The London Times In its final report on the British farm crops gives the yield or wheat this year as 95.4 per cent of a full crop, which is 3.4 per cent better than the 10-year average. The harvest has been com pleted under favorable conditions, and the quality runs good on the average. The Chief of the French Ministry of Ag riculture says that the French crop of wheat has turned out better than expected, the es timates running up to uiiu.ikiu quintals. Under ordinary conditions this would mean shortage of some 13.000.000 Quintals lor consumption and seed. With the import du ties now removed there will be. It is expect ed, little difficulty In making good this snortage. Reports from Italy are generally favor able. Russia has had some unsettled but in the main favorable weather. The quality of the new grain is tumina out satisfactory and the young Winter wheat seedlings in most parts or European Kussia are reported in gooa and in some places excellent condition.

Predictions that do mestic receipts of wheat next week would show a decided falling; off helped today to give quotations a lift. As a result, the mar ket closed steady at 4ic to He above last nlftht. Corn wound up with a net (tain of Uc to and oats of He to Hc. In provisions, the outcome varied from un changed figures to 874 advance. Improved weather in Argentina and some what reassuring reports from there that crop damage would not be severe, gave the wheat bears some advantage at the outset. Later, however, traders, as a rule, appeared to in- cline to the belief that the lnlurv must be considerable, as the plant was in head, and there had been a heavy setback In the yield for 1911, when, as now, frost had occurred in circumstances which were sim- liar. Corn hardened In price owing to export sales of SOO.000 bushels and to evenlnir up traaes to prepare ror tne uovernment re port Monday. It was said the quality or new corn was Inviting foreign buyers. Pros pect of cooler weather tended to ease the market, tnt the effect wore off. In the oats crowd, the smallness of coun try offerings led to firmness from the start. Cash houses were conspicuous buyers of De cember. Provision shorts dropped their urgency to cover today when the fact became apparent that packers were selling freely. An early advance was more than wiped out. Despite tne closing or tne stockyards here. cash, de mand for meats was reported slow. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High.

The wool market closed today with offerings ot H444 bales, which were well absorbed at steady prices.

Is LARGE EXCESS IN OCTOBER AY heat and Other Grains Are Pur chased on Sensational Scale and Cotton Shipments Are Gaining. " Securities' Demand Better. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. The hopeful eenti ment which developed last week was sus tained by various circumstances this week. Chief of these were many evidences ot the Increasing flood .of this country's export trade. Commerce department officials esti mated an October excess of merchandise ex ports of $t0,0(O,0O0. Further buying of wheat and other grains for export continued on a sensational scale, and cotton shipments to foreign ports expanded to one-third or more of last year's rate. The effect ex tended to many lines of industry; even the steel trade felt Increased confidence, despite additional contraction of current business. The international exchange problem ad vanced sufficiently to end the necessity for further emergency arrangements under dis cussion by the British treasury delegates in conference at Washington. Credits are reported to be arranged In New York by foreign governments, including Russia and Austria, for expenditure in this country. This detracts from apprehension over gold exports, which are thus certain of an early return blow. Increased demand for bonds and high grade stocks reflected the growing force of the reserve of capital that accumulated with the bottling up for three months of se curities. The ending of the moratorium In England and the prospects of an early reopening of the New York Cotton Exchange have given Impetus to the discussion looking to the re opening of the stock exchange. Heavy re tirements or emergency currency ana cir-ing-house certificates mark the strengthen ing of bank reserves, and this was followed by an Interest reduction In long-time loans to 5 per cent. The bank statement showed a further In crease of reserves and a moderate cash gain In place of an expected loss. ' BANK RESERVES AGAIN INCREASED Cash Gain Revealed in Place of Expected Loss.

WHEAT BELT PROSPEROUS Money Is Easier, Foreign Exchange Situation Improves, Reserve Banks Will Soon Open and Export Trade Is Making Rapid Gains. An encouraging; view of the general financial situation is taken by Henry Clews, tho new York banker, who writes: The financial situation grows brighter al most eailv in lulte'of the heavy European war cloud. This week there has been marked progress in clearing ud the foreign exchange situation, and the restrictions upon credit, foreign and domestic, are being gradually lessened. One of the most striking evideuces of improvement has been in the recovery of our foreign trade, particularly la exports, from the effects of war shown in the Sep tember statistics. In that month it will ne recalled our exports declined .Kt2.uoo.OOu and our imports 31.000,000. the loss in ex ports beintr largely in cotton and tne loss in Imports being chiefly in manufactured products. Our export trade during tho cur rent month, and especially during the past week, has been particularly active. The In crease In raw products and war supplies has been very conspicuous. Cotton has been going forward very freelv: and the announcement by Great Britain that cotton will not be considered contraband, even to Germany, insures a con- ttnued freo movement of this staple. This, of course, will materially relieve the cot ton situation, and. will also serve to settle our fqreien debt balance and check gold exports. To the South, which Is largely oe pendent upon foreign buying of cotton, this movement will be particularly welcome, even If cotton does ko out at a very low price. The proposed cotton loan of $ia.i,O0t.0O0 under the management of a committee of the Federal Reserve Board has received considerable support, although there are some doubts as to Its legality. The plan Is meeting with much favor, particularly in the South, as a matter of expediency in a great emergency. The Federal reserve banks will open about two weeks hence. This insures additional relief and ease in the monetary situation, Barring, any temporary local stringency which micht accompany a transfer of funds to the Federal Institutions, it is estimated that the reduction In reserve requirements which will foijow this operation win result In an expansion of nosnibly $:;00.h)0.0oo in loans. This should Insure continued ease In money, and will materially facilitate the re tirement of clearing-house certificates and emeraencv currencv which have already been withdrawn to a considerable extent. 1-1 ve Brightest Features. These five conditions easier money, bet tor forelxn exchange situation, early opening of the Federal reserve banks, improvement in our export tre.de and a good harvest are tho f lvo brlehtest and most encouraging features In the American business situation, which la other respects is still very unsatis factory and passing through a critica period. It is not desirable to dwell too stronslv uoon the discouraging side of af fairs, yet it would be dangerously foolish to Ignore the many unsatisfactory conditions. Bank clearings are still running 25 per cent below a year ago, tho decrease being greatly emphasised by suspension of the various stock and commodity exchanges, Railroad earnings are unsatisfactory, those reported for the month of September show lng a losj of 7 per cent, while for the iirst two weeks of October the losses have been from 12 to 15 per cent. Building operations aro running about one-third below last year. rlvidends have been cut or passed by an unusually largo number of industrials. The railroads. It inav be noted with satisfaction, have maintained their resrular payments re. markablv well. Thero has been a further ncrease In the number of idle cars, and also In business failures. Tho steel trade Is now runnlnsr less than OO per cent of its capacity and prices continue weak. The textile Indus tries were much deranged by the war ana the fall in cotton, but are now showin ereater steadiness and activity. Such fac as these are already too familiar. They chief Iv reflect the shock of the European war unon the United States. Fortunately. there is good reason to believe that the worst effects of that shock are aireaay over. There Is every encouragement lor be lieving that the rebound has fairly begun. Recovery is already In sight. That our man cial resources have been successfully placed on a war basis, and that tho mobilization In this respect is almost complete, are demon st rated by the farts cited In the first para graph of this review. We must not forge that this country win oe aiiectea less o the war than anv other. Wo have this yea been blessed with a bountiful harvest. In cludlna- the largest wheat crop on record, ror wnicn we enan nnu & g lureinii mand at profitable prices. Throughout in wheat belt prosperity Is everywhere In ev dence. In spite of the war. Optimism reign supremo there. The South, moreover, has nmv less to fear from tho effects of tha catastrophe. Several million more bales of not ton have been raised1 than can be con lumid, but It la quite likely that the for eign takings of cotton will prove consider ably larger than at one time expected. War's Effect oa Commwe. As for tho war. Its effects upon tho world's commerce ana rmances ar serious enougn. Yet the blow has been met in all countries with greater fortitude and success than could nosslblv have been anticipated. As yet there are no signs of an approaching end. and the conviction grows that the struggle will be a long and exhausting one. What tho effects or a long contest tnrougn a disheartening Winter will be upon the temper of the combatant, remains to be seen. It should srive opportunity for a re turn to reason on all sides. If continued In definitely a gravo economic crisis will be una void ante. i no unanciat na inu.um.riai exhaustion will be more complete to all r-onrerned: and It would seam that If pas sion could be laid aside better terms could be obtained on all sides oy an eany truce ana a resort to diplomacy and arbitration fot adjustment than by continuing this awful carnage. Justice, and not force, will lead to the right. m Congress is now sdloumed and the coun try Is assured of rest from legislative air na tion for soma time to come. The efforts of tho railroads to secure tho advance tn rates from tho Interstate Commerce Commission, according to all accounts, do not promise very successfully. Thero are no signs In the committee of a willingness to make conces sions to tha railroads. If this should be true an Important factor of encouragement will disappear. There has been an Increased movement In Investments of the hotter class. Prices are exceedingly low and there Is no lack of bargains to he obtained by buyers with ready money. Were tha local exchange opened and values fairly tested by the conflict of opinion between buyers and sellers there would likelv bo considerable Investment buy ing. Well seleoted investments should bring $63,343,026.12 , .$ 8,500,000.00 , . 8.271,525.33 , . 6.137,400.00 . . 2,704.740.54 40,733.95 37,6S8,626.30 (rood profit at no very distant period. Strong efforts are belnir made tor a reopen ing of the Stock Exchange, but much de pends upon the action of lndon. where sev eral tlans. have already been proposed that would seem to be near a solution of the dif ficulties et that center. The moratorium ex pires in London next m'eek and is not ex pected to be renewed, the situation there showlne daily and persistent improvement. Thus far Europe has financed the war, which Is cost 1 nr. It is claimed, at the rate of about S50.00u.000 a day, without for the time being- any apparent serious difficulty. which is certainly a woild record experi ence. .

There was a larae attendance at the cotton exchange again to- uuy, ana the tauc around tne floor indicated that tne action of the Liverpool market since the reopening for restricted business yesterday had made a favorable Impression on sentiment. The English, spot market was two points higher at 4.00. and expectations of an Improving export demand were en couraged by reports that Russia had estab lished credit here, which would be used largely for the purchase of cotton. There were also reports from the United States embassy at Berlin Indicating that available supplies of cotton at Bremen were prac tically exhausted and that prices ranged around 15 to 18 cents for old crop, with 1 cents or better offered foa new crop cotton. December contracts here sold around i .wo to 7. Otto ou the curb, and local spot brokers said their offers from the South indicated continued firmness in the interior.
