REVIEW OF THE MARKETS
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.

Not Great Deal of Activity Re-
ported in Any Lines-QuOtatiOns
Posted for New Cotton Spirits
Turpentine Steady at 391a Cents,
and Resins Quiet and Unchanged.
Continued Liberal Receipts OF
Naval Stores Local and TeIe-
graphic Markets.
Morning News Office, Aug. II.
There was not great deal of activity
in the local markets during the past week,
though business on the whole was salts
factory. Owing to the near approach
of the new cotton season a great deal
has not been done in this market. The
trade are looking forward to the handling
of the new crop, and posted to-day for
the first time quotations for new-crop
cotton. In the naval stores market fac
tors continued TO make free deliveries of
turpentine. The tone at the closing to-
day was steady. with limited demand
reported. Rosin closed quiet at the de-
clines reported during the week.
Reports from the naval stores belt are
TO the effect that work on farms is pro-
crossing well. which makes it appear very
much like the present large receipts are
to grow larger. 1t is the receipts which
are having considerable effect on the mar
ket just now, and if they continue to in
crease, the chances are that prices will
continue to yield. Considerable exporting
is reported from Gulf ports, which is hav-
ing its effect on the market The gen.
eral opinion seems to be that unless the
volume of receipts is checked the market
will reflect the effects of abundant offer
ings.
Business is rather quiet in the whole
sale branches, though jobbers are not COM
planning, as these lines generally have
rush shortly after the opening of the new
cotton season. The following resume Of
the different markets will show their con-
dition during the week. and at the closing
to-day: .AaA

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Quiet and Steady With
Prices 1 HIGHER to Lower.


New York, Aug. 1.-THE cotton market
opened quiet and steady, with prices I'M
changed to l point lower but developed
steady undertone before the close of
the first hour and scored an advance of
4d6 points on recovering and light invest
ment buying, based on encouraging late
English cables, light export receipts and
claims that the crop in some sections was
being damaged by adverse climatic condi-
tons. But on the up-turn investment
speculation from the public failed to make
its appearance, and as room bulls were
naturally tmid, prices subsequently
crumbled to last nights prices, with the
market much of the time in an almost
lifeless state. Early in the afternoon
weak spot was reached under gradually
increased liquidation and a more aggres-
sive attitude of room bears, who were en-
couraged by late excellent crop and
weather advices from the eastern belt and
fairly reassuring information from the
central and western district. On the
downturn the wire houses figured promi-
nentiy as sellers of the winter months,
while the South sold the near months,
presumably liquidation of New Orleans
holders. The local spot market went off
hc, and Southern markets also showed
an easier under-current, all of which in
creased the pessmistic feeling in the pit
Predictions for rapidly increasing move
ment added to the dismay of smaller
| longs and prompted light selling for short
| account.
AT the close the market was quiet and
steady, with prices l point higher to Z
points lower.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Rescue of Foreign Ministers Had No
Effect Speculation.

New York, Aug. 17.-If any expecta-
ton had been entertained that the rescue
of the foreign ministers in China would
arouse speculative enthusiasm, Wall
streets reception of the news was disap-
pointing. In fact the speculation was
more sluggish than at any time this
week, and the tendency until the last
hour reacttonary. This proved that the
event had been fully discounted.
There was a conflict at the opening to
determine the markets tendency, in which
the bears soon obtained the upper hand
In consequence there was a general sag
sing OF prices, but in no case did the
Iaii reach point in the railroad list;
Inc most effective selling was in the steel
STOCKS the group being affected by reports
OF trade conflicts and expected cuts in
products. The important movements Of
the day centered in Brooklyn Rapid
transit and Consolidated Gas Both
STOCKS after momentary weakness started
upwards and ended with good gains. An
ornciai announcement that the annual re-
port would be given out late to-day, al
tached interest to the movement in the
stock.
No definite news accounted for the
weakness In the railroad list but the opn-
~'"'iVu 'lds pIDIt TAKING was Pr
marty responsible. London's purchases
or ST. Pau! failed to sustain the stock
despite an increase in the earnings for the
second week of August Of $40. 1924. For
elgn purchase were about 1900 shares IN
all the inquiry FROM London being slim
uiated by further declines in money and
uscouht rates. In the late dealings an
evening up of contracts was effective in
Wlping out much of the days losses. Pre-
urinary figures of to-morrow's bank
statement indicate loss In cash by the
banks of over 100000. This showing
rehects the exports of gold on Satur-
Gay as well as those of this week. But
Tor the gold exports the banks would
nave gained almost 100000 ON the in
terror currency movement and pension
interest payment of the sub-treasury.
An Increase In the loan item OF the banks
is not considered unlikely in view Of the
early ACTIVITY in the stock market
The bond market showed q reactionaty
