COTTON ADVANCES
 q ID B POINTS
Early Decline Is Followed By
 Wore Active Market
BUYERS ARE CONFIDENT
Doubt About Crop Conditions Still Ex- fists and Most Brokers Are Ex- pecting Bulllsh Report by
 the Government.

New York, July 27.--An early de- cline in cotton was followed by much more active and stronger market dur ing the days later trading and the close was very steady at a net ad- vance of 21 to 23 points
 The market opened at net decline of points and quickly sold to some to points net lower, and liquida- ton and bear pressure continued, en- couraged by the weakness of the near months in Liverpool, a favorable opin- ion of the weather map and bearish continental trade reports. But there seemed to be good buying at the de- cline and latter the mark ct steadied developing no little strength and ac- tivity during the afternoon when De- cember contracts sold up to 12.25c, or about 32 points avobe the low level of the morning
 At the high point the general list showed net advance of 24 to 26 points and closed within 10 points of the ton. Some of the stronger interests were supporting the market during the aft ernoon While recent sellers were cov- ering on talk of a very bullish Au- gust bureau report next Monday, which was expected to be preceded by a num- Der of bullish private reports. A can vass of 56 members of the local ex- cahnge showed that a government re- port of 7S.S Is looked for on the aver age, which would be slight deterior- atlon from last month and compare with S5 per cent in 1905.
 There were rumors that a private report to be issued within the next two or three days would make the condi- ton 1 per cent, but there seemed to be no tangible basis for it. Southern spot markets officially reported early were generally unchanged. The re- port of prominent local auth ority indicating no improvement in crop prospects during the past month in Georgia and Alabama probably en- couraged the talk of a bullish bureau.

STOCK MARKET IS STILL VERY DULL Report of United States Steel

 Hesitation on Part of
 Leading Dealers.
MARKET IN WAITING MOOD

New York, July 27.-The stock mar ket today was characterized still by its narrowness and professionalism and its movements had little signifi- canoe as an index of financial views on conditions. The time set for the meet ing of the United States Steel direc- tors was o'clock, which left the mar ket confronted with the certainty that 1t would know nothing of the action taken on the dividend in time for trading before tomorrow. This posi- ton of apparent doubt inspired little speculative activity. The desultory buying of stocks was attributed to pro- fessional short covering, including buy ing for London account in preparation for a coming stock market settlement. The samll impression made on the price of United States Steel by the broad intimation of the last few days that no dividend increase would be made had frightened the majority of shorts into covering before action was taken
 There was a significant growth of the impression, proved true by the event, that compromise decision would be reached by the directors to put the dividend on a per cent basis. The buying of the bears to cover shorts found no pressure of offerings to sell, holders of the stock apparently awaiting the action of the dividend meeting in placid indifference. Trade advices continued highly satisfactory from the steel industry and those in- dustrlals were strong as a group. Re- public Steel led the movement. helped by the news of large resumption of mill activity and by the return to Wall street of dominant interest in the control of the company with very confident predictions of unprecedented prosperity at hand.
 From the copper trade came another discouraging setback in a renewed fall in prices in London and New York and reports of concessions to secure orders by the selling agency of the leading interests in this country. The copper industrials were not affected by this news. Union Pacific stretched its record price another R. but without attaining the coveted goal of the 200 mark. The caution of the advance showed that it's managers feared the effects of an actual quotation of 200 in suggesting continuation and pos sibly bringing out liquidation.

WHEAT IS STILL
 ON DOWN GRADE
Bull Leader Turns Loose Big
 Supply on Market
EXPORT DEMAND IS SHORT
Rains In the Southwest Have Bearsh Effect Upon Corn Which Closes Lower-Oats and Provisions
 Also Close Weak.

Chicago July 27.-The wheat market again developed decided weakness today. sharp bulge at the start and at the low point prices were considerably nearer the dollar mark than on any previous session since the slump was inaugurated At the close prices showed a net loss of 14c to 1Q11sc. Coarse grains and provisions also closed weak.
 The feature of trading today was the selling of a line estimated between 5000, GOO and 100000 bushels of the September de- livery by the erstwhile leader of the bulls.
 The market opened strong with prices 1a @21sc higher than yesterdays close, July being at s1 057sQ1 .09 and September l. .O5A@ 1.06.
 Prominent commission houses were ac- tive bidders for wheat, and this started brisk coverings. The demand was based largely on unsettled weather In the west and southwest, and on ah official forecast of additional rain for tonight and to- morrow. The bullish demonstration sub sided toward the end of the first half hour and from that time sentiment in the pit gradually became bearish. For July the bottom was r~lched at S1.0424 and for September at $1 .031sd1 .OS14.
 Local receipts of wheat were officially reported at 943 carloads, and arrivals at Kansas City and St. Louis totaled 545,0 900 bushels. Private elevators were reported to be marketing large amount of con- tract wheat, which will be delivered on July contracts within a day or two. At tha san,a time avnort danoand ,,,oa so ;d to be almost nil. Aside from some un- confirmed rumors of black rust reports from the northwest regarding the growing crop were exceedingly favorable. The market closed weak with July at $1 06A and September at $1.O39s.
 Widespread rains over the southwest caused a further decline in corn prices, the market being weak nearly all day. There was mild bulge in the September delivery early in the day owing to buying by pit traders based on theory of a large short interest in that option, but the firmness was short-lived Liberal receipts, continued poor demand by customers for the cash grain and the slump in wheat were additional bearish influences. The market closed weak, with prices off ssc to 5s0aic, compared with yesterdays final quotations.
 Despite reported delay to harvesting and threshing by wet weather, oats developed considerable weakness during the last half of the session largely owing to the de- clines In wheat and corn. Local ar rivals of oats were larger than had been estimated, and the price of the cash grain at She sample tables was off 1sd'1c. Chip ping demand also was slack The market closed weak, with prices 14c higher to 3sq1ac lower.
 Provisions were weak the entire day be- cause of selling prompted by increased re- ceipts of live hogs and by the heaviness of grain. Prices at the close were un- changed to 271Ac lower.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Outbreak of Typhoid.

Provincetown, Mass, July 27.-That the outbreak of typhoid fever among the men of the battleship fleet was due to bad potatoes was the official verdict of a naval physician on the supply ship Celtic today after a thorough investiga- ton. The ice cream and various other things on the ships. bills of fare have been under suspension but it is now be- lieved that potatoes were the cause of the trouble As a result of the examina- tion of the hundreds of barrels of tubers in the Celtic's store rooms, about 60 per cent were condemned and today the yes sel steamed out to sea and dumped them overheard. There are four new cases of typhoid on the Wisconsin.
