LARGE ACREAGE

In lill-14 the acreage actually was
larger than In Ull-U. But from the
I7.MI.000 acres planted In 1S1I-14 only
UrTTJO0 bales wers produced not
withstanding that the end-June condi
tion that season stood at 11. 1 per cent
the highest of recent years.
Despite thess facts however tha
wide discrepancy between the govern-
ment and private reports this year
tended to undermine bullish confi
dence to a considerable extent and the
future markets ware called upon to
absorb considerable realizing by dis-
appointed buyers.
The result was that Saturdays dos
ing quotations showed net losses of
as much as 14 a bale on the October
delivery both at New Orleans and New
York with almost as wide declines on
the mora distant positions.
With Jury holding relatively firm.
the July-October difference again
widened out to a material extent.
standing at Uf points at New Orleans
as compared with 127 points the week
before and 127 points at New York
against 147 points the Saturday be
fore.
July at New Orleans finished at
!.! for a net loss of 21 points while
Otcober closed at U.M with the new
crops showing losses ranging from M
points on October to t points on De-
cember. At New York. July closed
at 27 cents for a net loss of only 4
points while October wound up at
1.73. with the new crops standing at
net losses for the week of Ci to 14
points with October showing the roost
weakness.
Weather Favorable.
As If to emphasise the beatishness
of the government's acreage estimate
the weather over the cotton belt was
considered generally favorable to the
progress of the crop. The weekly sum
mary published Thursday owing to
the holiday Wednesday complained of
wet. cold weather In Mississippi. Ala-
bama and Georgia but Its favorable
reference to the other Statu including
Texas seemed to overbalance the un
favorable spots
The more acute state of political af
fairs abroad precipitated by the

Essen Germany and the growing

reflected in sharp declines In conti
nental exchange rates and further
softening of the pound sterling also
discouraged buyers in the cotton mar-
ket. Early-week weakness in the New
York stock market followtd as It was
by substantial recoveries later was
accompanied by the raising of tha
Bank of England's discount rate to 4
per cent an unerring Indication of a
tightening of the money situation In
London which generally Is accepted as
the world basis for financial events of
importance.
The Increase In the English bank's
rate was reflected In Its weekly state
ment which showed a sharp contrac
tion in tha proportion of Its reserves
to tout deposits.
Hsrdlng'a Announcement.
The economic situation at home was
enlivened by President Harding's an
nouncement that the heads of the
steel industry have promised to dis-
continue the 12-hour day In the steel
mills as soon as practicable whenever
that may be and the conferences be-
tween the coal miners and operators
in which demands for Increased wages
were presented.
From the dry goods markets come
continued reports of rather quiet busi-
ness and Manchester claims that little
activity is noted abroad for finished
cotton goods. One of the New York
cotton houses quoted Marshall Field
aV Co. the large Chicago bouse as
having reduced prices of dry goods
this week and some conflict of opinion
prevails as to the ability of domestic
textile mills to move their output free
ly at current quotations.
To return to the government a cot-
ton reports however they showed
that the condition of the Texas crop
was most promising no deterioration
having occurred during June the con-
dition standing at 77 unchanged from
the end of May.

D. S. DYE INDUSTRY
NOW MEETS WHOLE

Output is Multiplied Ten

Associated Press Report.
WASHINGTON July 1. The United
States due to the notable progress
made by its domestic dye and or
ganic chemical Industry Is lndepend
ent of the rest of the world with
respect to needs for dyes for the first
annual dye census for 122 made pub
11c today by the tariff commission.
From a stripling of seven firms pro-
ducing only Mll.Tl pounds of dye
stuffs In 1114 the business developed
until at tno end of last- iwar 7
establishments were engaged in what
is now described as a key Industry.
sixty-six per cent more dyes ware
produced In 122 than were manufac-
tured In 1921. Production last year
aggregated 4.(321!7 pounds. Imports
totaled 3.K2.631 pounds and exports
4954611 pounds the commission esti-
mating that manufacturers of the
United Statea produced 93.S per cent
of the dyes actually consumed in this
country last year.
With Increased output came a re-
duction In prices the commission's
Investigators found the average price
or all domestic dyes in 121 being as-
cents a pound compared with 13 cents
in 1921 and 11. 24 in 117.
The commission's acount of the
struggle for the International dye
market reflects the efforts being made
by the Germans to recover the poel-
tion they held prior to the world war
when that country dye manufactur
ers supplied approximately three-
quarters of the world's dye require
ments. Of the remaining one-quarter
about 50 per cent was made from
German Intermediates and conse-
quently the commission said the
world waa nearly. If not actually.
dependent upon Germany for dyea
But the commission found the
United States able within the last
year to fight successfully for Its
share of the world trade and reports
of exports for the first four months
of this year indicate that American
dye manufacturers are getting a
reasonable share of the sales. The
commission added that the approxi-
mate world production had about been
douhled since tha world war and It
predicted sharper competition than
has existed heretofore.

Greater Than Ever Be-
fore in Summer Time
Associated Press Report
NEW YORK July I. Several un
usual events such aa tha turn of tht
half-year the early July holidays.
and an advance In the Bank of 'Eng-
land discount rate were dominating
Influences In the financial markets of
the past week.
Passage of the July l settlements
resulted as had been anticipated In
a distinct saalng In the money market
call money op the New York stock ex-
change tending aa low as 4 per cent
Meanwhile the weekly federal reserve
statement ahowed that member oanxs
had borrowed heavily from the re-
serve system partly to obtain cur-
rency to meet the July 4 travel de-
mands and partly to provide the extra
credit called for by the mid -year div
idend disbursements and the like.
Selling Lets Up.
Accompanying these changes came
marked easing In the pressure of
liquidation which had bean apparent
In the chief speculative markets. A
certain amount of selling both by
tired longs and traders on the short
side was apparent in the stock mar-
ket during part of the Week but the
volume was not comparable to that
of the week before and the tone grew
steadier aa the week closed.
Similar conditions prevailed In the
cotton market Monday's government
crop estimate reported a greater in
crease In acreage than had been ex
pected and in addition a slightly
higher condition and larger yield.
There waa a feeling that-tha 11412.000
bales which the department of agri
culture forecast may turn out to be
somewhat in excess of the actual crop.
Nevertheless cotton was sold rather
freely oa the report and gave ground
readily. Before the week closed How-
ever a substantial recovery occurred.
Wheat remained quiet with the pries
of the July future fluctuating around
11.03. The trade Is expecting today's
government crop estimate to show
total yield of about 136000000 bushel.
Industries doing Qood.
Reports from Industrial districts
showed a maintenance of a high rate
of activity. Pig iron production in
June while slightly smaller than the
record-breaking May performance ex
ceeded that in any other month. Steel
products were said to be passing into
consumption readily consumers show
ing no disposition to avoid deliveries
Prices remained firm and the trade
looked for a continuance of the pres-
ent scale of operations.
Railroad car loadings again added
their testimony to the maintenance of
Industrial momentum. The rate has
now exceeded one million cars a week
for five consecutive weeks thus
equaling the record made In the fall
of 1920 and exceeded by a considerable
margin any performance made at this
season of the year.
With regard to the resumption of
buying for forward delivery which Is
the question which has been occupy
ing the attention of the markets for
some time nothing new developed. It
la still considered early however to
forecast the trend of fall trade.
The advance In the Bank of Eng
iana aiscount rate trom s to t per
cent was not considered Inimical to
the domestic situation.
