In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. 17.— -There was ft sudden shift in the news Tuesday from the weevil condition. Amount of actual deterioration now being reported by the best people in the business is nothing less than amMlng.

GRAIN FUTURES RISE SLIGHTLY IN CHICAGO PIT Bad Weather and Frost Reports From Canada Boost Wheat Prices. Bu United Press Aug. 17.—A good upturn for grain futures on trie Chicago Board of Trade was rioted in the early part of today’s session after an opening with wheat prices %c to %c higher, corn %c to %c higher and oats Vic to %c up. While reports of frost damage from Canada late Tuesday were termed sensationil, the market failed to Jiold the earlier bulge due to selling by a number of eastern longs for profit. Traders expect the next price upturn to be in wheat, and it is believed that holders of corn are selling and buying wheat and rye. Ns vs in corn was little changed today. The crop is still late and promises the worst harvest in years. This bullish news has already served to raise futures in this pit and has about lost power to send quotations any higher for the present. Oats were content to trail with other grains, although prospects of a poor crop this year have kept this market on a firmer level than wheat and co.rn. Provisions opened lower.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—There appears to be a somewhat firmer undertone to the sugar market based upon the continued Ini'rest in raw sugars manifested by European buyers ana the firmer attitude of sellers of actual sugar. This has not as yet developed into active buying of the futures, prices for which seem co remain almost stationary. From the speculative standpoint the late deliveries continue to be attractive In view of the strong Cuban fiosition. More active operations are held n check pending the final settlement of the September liquidation.

WOMAN FIGHTS RAILJIERGER Hill’s Daughter Objects to Financial Scheme. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—A woman may have the proverbial last word in merger proceedings of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Spokane, Portland and Seattle. Clara Hill Lindley, daughter of the the late James J. Hill, Northwest railroad builder, and her husband, Erasmus C. Lindley, have petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission to intervene They are in favor of the merger, the petitioners say, but disapprove of he manner in which it is being formed. They point out that the new Delaware corporation which will lease the three companies could deprive 30 per cent of the stockholders of the Northern lines of a return on their investment for ninety-nine years. The petitioners also question legality of the deposit agreement, object to the withholding of the terms of the leases until large amounts of stocks of the two Northern systems have been deposited, and believe the Great Northern should be the center of the merger. In response to Mrs. Lindley’s petition, as well as to several others, Interstate Commerce has postponed hearings from Oct. jP to Oct. 24. Charles D. Mahaffie, finance commissioner, will conduct the hearings at Minneapolis. , Soldier-Hoosier Dies EVANSVILLE. Ind., Aug. 17—Col. Arthur Thayer, 63, cavalry, U. S.
