places and heavy rains in portions of the
northwestern belt and in the South At

perature for the districts of New Orleans
and Vicksburg figured IS degrees, for the
district of Mobile, 80, indicating the sher-
curry to have worked above the CENTURY
mark in many points in the Gulf States.
Operators realized the Importance In this
change for the worse In weather condi-
TONS and instead of the market opening
lower, as warranted by the easier early
tendency of foreign markets, a slight
advance was noted on the first call
Thereafter unfavorable crop accounts In
the way of complaints of damage by in
sects, rains and excessive heat came pour
ing In from the neighboring states, es-
pecially from Alabama and Texas, and
the effect of same was soon reflected in
substantial advance. A report was put
In circulation to the effect that the APP
gust deterioration of this year would be
the smallest on record.

New York, August 24-In the main to-
days stock market was largely a repeti-

the same stocks were used as market
leaders and for the greater part of the
day the same degree or irregularity pre-
vailed. To round out the analogy, trading
was In almost the same proportions The
movement took in number of specialties
not especially prominent in the recent
activity, such as national lead and In
ternational pump, but a fresh upward

feature. These stocks, together with Uni

distinguished itself by scoring a new high

SHARP ADVANCE
IN COTTON MARKET
Crop News for the Day Was
Less Favorable
SALES WERE $4,000 BALES
Realizing Set In Toward the Close,
Bears Renewed Offerings and the
Close Was Well Down
From the Top.
SALES WERE $4,000 BALES

New York, August 24.-The cotton mar
ket was fairly active again today and
prices had quite a sharp advance as a
result of less favorable crop news and
covering. The close was down from the
best under realizing but steady at a
net advance of to 10 points. Sales for
the day were estimated at $4,000 bales
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of points to a decline of points
but quickly improved in spite of rather
Indifferent public cables on the increased
crop damage reports of which came in
chiefly from the southwest but which was
also received from scattering points in
the eastern and central belts claiming
deterioration as a result or rust, shedding
and insects One or two houses were par
ticularly active In circulating these re-
ports and were also credited with buy
ing heavily in the market while some of
the wire houses with southwestern con-
nectons also had buying orders. Local
shorts covered on the advance and prices
reached a net gain of about 10 to IS points
in the early afternoon. Around this level
realizing set in and there was a renewal
of offerings from some of the stronger
bears who seemed to place little reliance
in the crop damage news, and the mar
ket closed well down from the top.
Southern spot markets were unchanged
to 1-16 higher and comparatively few pri-
vate advices were received as to spot con-
ditions.
Receipts at the ports today 10000 bales
against $50 last week and 1914 last year. For
the week 5000 bales against 1,19S last
week and $1,000 last year. Today's re-
ceipts at New Orleans, 1870 bales against
942 last year and at Houston, 1913 bales

treasury that present conditions call for
no government assistance.
The early boom in steel bore all the ear
marks of yesterdays open manipulation,
and was accompanied by rumor that a
large pool had been formed at one of the
western industrial centers to accumulate
the stock. The Increased dividend" ru-
NOR in connection with this stock was
again industriously circulated while veil
ed suggestions of a further distribution in
Union Pacific was given as the reason for
the new move in that issue This stock
was used as the market leader in the
early afternoon rise, but trading soon fell
off to very moderate volume, and the
effort to sustain the market was for a
time abandoned.
The market gathered fresh impetus in
the last hour when call money fell to 31a
per cent in spite of the popular belief that
the bank reserves on the known move
ments of money would probably show a
deficit tomorrow
The bull element trotted out an old
rumor about this time-the purchase of
st. Paul by Southern Pacific. ST. Paul
sold within a fraction of its high price
of the week, and the buying today SEEM
ed to come from brokers frequently en-
ployed by Hartman interests. Much of
today's trading in that stock was be-
leved to be for account of a belated short
interest. The sale OF a small block of
American express stock at 260, the high
est price in four years, was a feature
of the special group. The market grew
dull i'm the late dealing with no mark
ed tendency in either direction Prices
yielded fractionally, however, and the
market became almost inert, when In the
last fifteen minutes a movement came in
the Hartman stocks which were traded in
very heavily. Union Pacific went to 1879,
a new high record, and Southern Pacific
to 923s, fraction below its top price
Steel common also made a new high rec
ord for the movement at 47A and the re-
mainder of the list improved, though not
in the same relative degree.
There was absolutely no news to account
for the advance, other than expectations
of gold imports and as previously stated
limitations of further dividend disburse-
ments in Union Pacific.
The close was very active and strong
American securities held we'll in London
where the general markets seemed I'M
disturbed over the probable changes in
the cabinet. London was not a factor here,
though that market probably participated
In the late buying of the Pacifics.
Time money was frmer and in more
limited supply, a half per cent commits
sion again going with most 9o-day and
four-month loans. while for over-year ac-
commodations the rate was equivalent to
per cent.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. So, 10000 United States bonds were
all unchanged on call.

Liverpool was rather disappointing but
our opening was very steady al a slight
advance, which was added to during the
morning until prices were IS points high

seemed to have been brought about by
the efforts of a clique OF todays opera

market, and then commenced to flood It
