during the fore part of the season and
sales were effected low down in the seven
cent column when the figure might
have been obtained with the exercise Of
little patience. In present circumstances,
however, any active revival in trade de-
mand for actual cotton will doubtless en-
courage buying on a larger scale than has
been noticed for some time.

CHICAGO 'Chanue.

Chicago. August 1s.-Grain trade was
restless and nervous today. The unset
tied weather and poor grading of all
grains together with diminishing con-
tract stocks, started a break early in
support. AS usual manipulation caused
setback, but excellent cash and seaboard
business brought a rally in wheat, and
other grains advanced sympathetically.
At the close September wheat was 1c up;
September corn ssQ1zc higher, and Sep
TENDER oats ssQAc higher September
provisions closed 21aQ20c higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

dozen bales to each consignee and offers
but small scope to buyers. 'Sales 425
bales, including 100 I. o. b. terms. Quo

Liverpool shading higher both for spot

New York. August 19.--The cotton mar
ket opened quiet and steady, with prices
points lower to / point higher, and the
room contingent appeared to be consider
ably mixed as to just which way to turn.
The Liverpool cables offered no induce
ments to longs or shorts here and the
heavy weather reports were rather non
committal The commission houses were
sparsely supplied with orders and Wall
street for the moment was not support
ing the market. Nevertheless, shorts
soon decided that retreat was the better
policy, for strong outside buying came to
the front, Wall street, the south and
Liverpool sending in orders. Prices were
well above the final bids of previous days
before the first hour closed and the mar
ket gave symptoms of inherent strength.
While It was reported that the foreign
and southern buying was for Wall street
account. the orders having been sent In
this roundabout way for effect. the bears
were in no manner comforted and con-
tinued to cover as best they might.
Promptly at noon the bureau report came
in and proved to be even more bullish
than the longs had counted upon. Prices
quickly worked up to 7e1 for January.
