Impending Renewal of Gold Exports
t and Increased Damage to Spring
Wheat Among Items That
Trend One Way.
NEW YORK, July 24.—Reasons for the
further decline in quoted values in the
stock market today lay on the surface
largely. Austria's ultirautum to Servia and
the reported failure of the Ulster confer-
ence were, perhaps, the most important
factors. Other causes were the impending
additional gold exports, increased damage
r-p spring wheat and corn in the Northwest,
-"Afore freight rate suspensions in Missouri,
IClnsas and adjacent States, and another
reminder of the Claflin failure in the as-
signment of a local firm of dry goods im-
porters.
Foreign markets were demoralized. Lop-
don, as well as Berlin, where higher dis-
counts prevailed, sold stock here in consid-
erable quantities.
Kries and Southern Railways also were
offered at marked concessions for foreign
holders and half a score of active issues
receded 1 to 3 points. Central Pacific ri-
valed Canadian Pacific's drop of 4 points.
Belling under any price quoted in over a
snore of years.
Jbowest prices were registered in the final
hour, in which period some large blocks of
stocks changed hands, notably one lot of
B,000 shares of Reading. Foreign exchange
continued firm with a bardeuing tendency
to the time loans, due to Increased demands.
Commercial paper was in better request.
Erie's issues were weakened by general
heaviness in bonds elsewhere. Total sales,
par value, amounted to $2,028,000. United
States coupon 4s declined Vi on call.

Deferred Options Are Heavy, Despite

Close Is Unsettled at Small
Changes.
CHICAGO, July 24.—Chances of war In
Kurope tended to auHtuln something of un
advance in nearby deliveries of wheat to-
day, but failed to offset heaviness ^n the
more deferred options. The market )tlo#ed
unsettled, off to 94c up compared with
last night.
Corn suffered a net decline of %c to

In provisions the outcome was a sat hack

NEW YORK, July 24.—So many private
reports of showers in Texas and Okla-
homa were received today that the cotton
market developed qulje a weak undertone,
and In the afternoon was sub^cted to con-
siderable selling pressure, which was in-
creased by cables reporting a very j;rnve
AuMro-Strviaii situation and by weakness
in the storA market. Closing prices were
8 to 15 points net lower and represented

II. «fc R. Reer says: "There hns been less rain In Texas since May than for the
past ten years, the precipitation being less than In the vear of 11)07, when the
Texas crop was reduced from 4,0fi0.000 bales In IDOfl to 2,221,000 bales in 1007.
It Is Imperative, therefore. If Texas is to make » good crop tills year for the State
to he favored with a general, soaking rain in the near future, as the plant has
endured nil the dry, hot weather that it possibly can stand without suffering and
deteriorating radlply from now on. unless the needed rains are bad very soon.
Scattered showers would probably affect the market unfavorably temporarily, as
a report of rain would undoubtedly occasion general selling, but If the rains
prove to be Insufficient, (he market would most likely react sharply. If the
rains should fall to materialize, a further substantial advance may be witnessed,
which could only be checked by the coming of rain at a later date."
The I'ann and Fireside notes that Arizona ha* raised 2,000 bales of cotton
(long staplci, for which the growers received 21 Vi cents per pound, hut no cotton
exchanges have opened up there yet.
Frank Ilennert received the following from New York: "If rains develop In
the West, market's technical position is in such shape as to cause a decline In
large lines accumulated 011 drouth. There Is no outside buying or trade absorp-
tion to relieve congestion and the preponderance of selling on rains would result
in u rapid decline. Advise profit-taking before situation becomes obvious."
Here Is the New Orleans reason for the decline: "Best readers of the weathr
map here say there are good Indications for showers in Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas." ,
Strained relations between Austria and
Servia threatened to Involve other Euro-
pean powers and appeared to have an im-
portant influence on direct and future ex-
port buying of wheat here. The total di-
rect sales for ocean shipment were estimat-
ed at 2,000.000 bushels, largely Oermo*.
Corn prices weakened, owing to rains
over Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa luid portions
of Illinois. The majority of pit Traders were
caught on the wrong side of the market.

Oats gave way with corn.
Provisions underwent the severest break

showery conditions of yesterday and today
in the southwest would result in ft spell of
net weather than any general or heavy
rainfall, which accounted for today's more
aptiiijistie feeling among bear traders.
Cables were affected by the rain news and
their weakness was responsible for the
openfiig partial decline of 2 points here.
For a time the market held steady and
even showed occasional periods of firm-
ness. Eastern belt advices were conflicting
but, on the whole* gave little cause for ap-
prehenslou.
Weekly statistics, particularly the small
spinners' takings, were considered rather
bearish and added to the feeling of heavi-
ness in the last hour. Late wires from
Oklahoma City reported showers over all
that section, with prospects for more rain*.
New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, July 24.—The eotton market
displayed weakness in the afternoon session un
der Sinn 11 taking* for the week and reports
of threatening weather In the western belt,
which the trade construed to meun that there
was a good chance of the drouth being broken
over night. The close wus at tho lowest of the
day. a net loss of 14 to 17 points on the new
crop months. The old crops were not active and
July closed nominal.
The weather map and the detailed report*
from the Weather Bureau did not show any
change of importance iu weather conditions over
the belt and the continued dry weather In
Texas and Oklahoma led to buying early in
the day, which gave the market a steadier tone.
At the highest, however, the moet active
months were only 1 point over yesterday's clos-
ing level. At tlmea considerable selling pres-
sure was in evidence and it appeared to be from
those who were going short.

Trade' for the Week Has Exceeded
That of Last Week—Smyrna Figs
Attracting Little Interest.
Apple Crop of Country.
Them has bpon no rnln as ypt, bnt tlie
cotton market declined yesterday on pros-
pects of it 4n Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas. Partners are not averse to some rain
now, as it woujd stop shedding In a few
districts which have been longest without
r?in-«.Trade wa8 a"1®*, but the fact that
the State primary will hold the boards
today furnished a subject for comment.
Wholesalers Will close at noon today as
usual, but the trade for tho week has ex-
ceeded that of last week, and Jobbers are
therefore quite well satisfied with trade
conditions.
The reports from Baltimore state that
the packing of blackberries has been fin-
ished, also that the output is considerably
less than last year.
According to advices from the Atlantic
Coast there is very little interest in Smyr-
na figs, and the trade seems content to
await developments before placing orders
for the autumn. This recalls the fact that
South Texas has the banner fig crop in
history, but it is ^invariable except for
making preserves at the grove. We should
adopt California methods of growing figs,
which can be dried.
Importers of olives on this *ide have
shown their lack of confidence In reports
of a short coming crop in Spain bv offer-
ing old crop out at reduced prices. In
one quarter 70-80 Queens are quoted at
$1.10 per gallon.
The total apple crop of the Tutted States
is estimated at 30,000.000 lo 45,000,000 bar-
rels this year, or 10,000,000 larger than the
crop of 1913.
Thousands of French fishermen are on
a strike and importers of sardines are
alarmed over the reports regarding the
demoralized conditions over there. Gustav
Porges, a New York importer, says: "The
difficulties between the fishermen and ean-
ners are of long standing. There are plen-
ty of fish on the coast of Brittany. The
fishermen are old-fashioned and stubborn.
They will catch only a certain amount, be-
ing afraid that if they brought a larger
quantity ashore the price would come down.
They prefer to throw the good catches
overboard. The French government has
tried to bring about a satisfactory settle-
ment, but it has been unsuccessful. Prac-
tically every large sardine canning factory
in North Brittany is closed when the pack-
ing of fish should be at its height. There
is very little chance of bringing over many
French sardines this season."

CATTLE MARKET IS STEADY
CALVES AND HOGS STILL COME
IN LIGHT SUPPLY.
All the Markets CoRiplaiR That There :
Are Few Finished Grass Cattle
ARiong the Offerings
These Days,
The receipts of live stock yesterday in-
cluded 593 cattle, 14 calves, 7 horses, 21
hogs and 320 goats, but the goats, the
horses and 410 head of the cattle went
on through billing. All tho markets are
complaining of the large percentage of
thin cattle among the offerings these days
and San Antonio is no exception to the
rule. The prices yesterday on beef cattle
were very steady and buyers and sellers
had little difficulty in getting together on
prices, which were steady with Thursday.
The weather man has given the ranchmen
some hope of rain, which, next to high
prices, is the very thing they desire Just
now. The reader will observe that the calf
and ho* supply 011 this market from day
to day Is very light.
Commission men can see no reason why
the numbers should increase perceptibly lii
the near future unless dry weather forces
a lot of calves-on the market, which would
otherwise be held for further maturity.
Higher prices would likely not stimulate
the hog run, as the supply is about all in
for the present-
The New York Commercial in discussing
the beef question treats It intelligently and
reveals a knowledge of conditions in the
West which stamps it is one of the very
reliable journals which the West is pleased
to read, with the assurance that it is a
stickler for facts. It says:
"With beef cattle at about 10 cents a
pound on the hoof in Chicago, it becomes
apparent that the price of beef will remain
high for some time and also that the
farmers of this country have not suffered
any loss through the free importation of
live cattle from Canada and dressed beef
from Argentina. A first-class butcher's
steer weighs 1,500 pounds on the hoof and
is therefore worth $150 or more at present,
which Is a fair price for a good horse.
If cattle raising for the market pays in
Great Britain and Ireland, where the
farmers have to import most of the grain,
Unseed and cotton seed meal that they feed
it must be a profitable Industry in this
country even with corn at Its present, price.
When the fanner was protected he got $6.30
a hundredweight for such cattle In 1898,
$6.60 in 1899, $7.15 in 1910, $6.70 in 1911,
.>8.40 in 1912 and $8.35 last year. He is also
getting as much for raw wool under free
trade in that article as he did under high
protection. It is hard to account for these
prices and the prosperity which has come
through them to the farmer both surprises
and gratifies the New York Commercial,
which did not feel optimistic on the sub-
ject when the tariff bill came In force.
Ten cents a pound is too much for live
cattle, but it will take a year or two to
bring up the supply to meet the constantly
growing demand. With a good corn crop
this year the farmers will probably take
more interest in live stock. Farms do not
depreciate in value through loss of soil
fertility when everything that is sold walks
out of the gate. The days of the big cattle
ranches are now over and this leaves the
field open to the small farmer, who will
raise and finish properlv for market a fow
head of good beef cattle, hogs and sheep
every year."
CATTLE CLATTER
"The calf crop out In Brewster County
last year was 91 per cent and conditions
are improved to such an extent this year
that we r.re going to be dissatisfied if our
crop does not brand out at least 4 per cent
better than that." This was the comment
of Itufe Bvnum, who, with ex-Senator Skin*
ner, bought the Joe Irvin ranch and cattle
out at Marathon In Brewster County. He
and his family have been spending several
weeks on the ranch and possibly would not
have returned but for the Illness of K. J.
Tapp, the ranch manager, who came in
with them to recuperate. 'There never has
been such a, season for grass," said he,
"and that was because the country has
been signally blessed with rain. Harvest-
ing the hay crop has really been quite an
industry this season and the only regret
the cowman has is that cattle are getting
scarce." The firm as has been noted pre-
viously has sold and delivered its crop of
hi
p
tops,
that they have not sold them yet. Since

The St. Joe News-Press asks: "By the
way, what has become of that other myth,
cheap beef from Argentina?"
A sad-eyed scientist, identity unknown,
Is responsible for diminished lard consump-
tion, says the Chicago Live Stock World.
A prominent American firm is in posses-
sion of the precious secret by which vege-
table oils may be hardened in such man-
ner that they not only serve the purpose
of pure lard in culinary operations, but
constitute a superior article. Not only lard
but oleo oil is suffering as a result and
current prices are 2 or 3 cents less ner
pound than would be the case had that
Sarticular scientist succumbed to croup
uring infancy. Meats are making tkelr
own market. A hot spell in June started
ham distribution prematurely and packers
have had a big margin of profit. With nor-
mal demand for lard they would not have
backed away from live hogs a few weeks
ago, and even now they are worried because
lard does not sell. Under such conditions
a bull campaign in lard is out of the ques-
tion and meats are selling at such a lofty
level as to repress Investment. The middle-
man is on a hand-to-mouth basis, but this
is not worrying killers who are able to
sell every pound of their output while the
stuff is in "the cure."
A comma is a little thing but it can raise
a commotion when improperly placed. A
recent case is mentioned by the Parsons
Sun: "A couple of young bloods in a dis-
tant village called upon two young ladies
of the same burg one night last week, and
upon returning to the commercial thor-
oughfares of the town proceeded to take a
salubrious snootful. The cub reporter who
did police news the next day got his com-
mas twisted, and the result was about like
this: "The two men spent the earlier part
of the evening with two young ladies, and
after they left, the girls got drunk." Where-
upon the brother of the two girls sought
out tho purveyor of the slanderous state-
ment and gave him a bulge on the eye-
brow. "
The Harvard (Mo.) Courant note* the
fact that Bud Welser, the stockman of
Eureka, spent the Fourth in that burg
and the Kansas City Journal ventures
the opinion that perhaps he was there to
meet Mrs. Ann Hauser of St. Louis.
Discussing the elimination of the mid-
dleman the Concordia (Kan.) Kansau says:
"About forty years ago all over the West-
ern agricultural States the organization
called the Grangers was very strong and
one of the sloguns was to 'cut out the mid-
dleman.* It Is told that a prominent
Granger was hiking down the street at a
pretty lively gait, when he was accosted
by a neighbor, who inquired where he was
going and why the rush. He said he was
going to the undertaker's. 'What's the
matter V' said the neighbor. 'My wife's
sick,' said the other fellow. 'Well, said
the neighbor, 'what you want la a doctor.
•Not me,' said the man, 'I'm cutting out
all middlemen.'"
Cattle fit for the block are getting
scarce everywhere in Texas now. Fort
Worth out of 2,500 Thursday coulc^anry
select 300 bead that wonld tnske gopd

supply will go back to the range and
show up again later, thus creating a false
impression as to the real number of cattle

The sale of the Doble steers at $7.45. the

changed basis. Itest cows brought $5.35
(&5.50 with heifers clearing at $0.00(^7.50.
The bull market was steady at a rauge
of $4.25(^0.75.
Relatively few calves were on offer,
and the demand was well up to the
supply. Trade was fairly brisk and sales
were steady. Best shipments brought
$5.50 to $< 25 aud a few choice draft*
ranged around $JS.
Outside competition helped salesmen in
their efforts to dispose of stocker steers,
and the market manifested more life than
has been shown on any other day this
week. Prices were steady at a range of
$4.05 to $5.80. Stocker cows and calves
were unchanged.
The strength of the bog market wss
not tested. Receipts were no greater
than 450 head and nothing at all choice
was on hand. Wagon hogs brought $0.25,
but the top on carloads was $0. Bulk
sales made a spread of $s.00 to $0.00.
Values were called about a nickel lower.
Receipts of sheep were close to 600
bead, most of which were wethers selling
at $5.25. The market was steady.
