THE COTTON MARKET
 IS VERY NERVOUS
July Squeeze Keeps Brokers
 Under Tension
THE CLOSE IS IRREGULAR
July Cotton Goes Up to l5.90 and Then Closes Much Lower on Large Re- ceipts-Private Crop Ad-
 vices Are BuIlish

New York, July 2S.--While there was no such squeeze of July shorts as many had expected, the cotton market today was very nervous and excited and local traders were evidently operating under a nerve racking tension until the last transaction in July contracts had been posted on the board. Instead of a squeeze ment, there appeared to be some few thousand bales of very recently arrived cotton in New York against which July was sold, and after opening at 15 9Oc that position broke to 15 3oc or g points under the closing figures of la" night From this price there was lily to 15.75c but in the last few mi there was a little more cotton fo ole and July went out with one of tho big south ern bulls bidding l5 Goo for all offered.
 The general market opened steady at a decline of 6 to IS points and when the price of July broke so sharply the rest of the list eased off to a net loss of Il to IS points under heavy realizing or liquidation in sympathy with the July break and, in response to somewhat dis appointing cables But as soon as July rallied there was aggressive bull support of August. one broker offering to buy all there was for sale at 15 2Sc and the rest of the list firmed up, reaching a net advance of to points during the afternoon following report that the National Ginners association made the condition of the crop only 72.9 per cent, against S2.3 per cent last month
 Renewed realizing and little selling on the disappointing weekend figures eased the market off shade in the last half hour with the close barely steady at a decline of 10 points on August while the new crop was net unchanged to 5 points lower Southern spot markets of ficially reported early were unchanged to a quarter lower.
 good many bullish private crop ad- vices were feceved from Texas during the day and it is said that the continued dry weather is leading to more general reports of drouth damage and deteriora = tion. It is reported that not less than 225,000 bales of cotton have changed hands on July contracts.
 Receipts at the ports today 173S bales, against 7439 last week and 1497 last year. For the week 5000 bales against 56 Al receipts at New Orleans AS bales, against IFS last year and at Houston 13S bales, against 3SS last year

News of Grcensboro

Greensboro, July 29.-(Special)- Rev. D. W. Hollinsworth, who has re- gently been called to the pastorate of the Presbyterian church of this place has arrived in Greensboro and will preach his first sermon here on next Sunday.
 County court was in session here the of the farmers of this county were gathered here. The concensus of opin- ion was that the corn crop Is the best for many years, and that the cotton crop is from two weeks to month backward. and the plant is very small and in most places very spotted. In some places thd cotton has been so overrun with grAss that there is but little hope of making anything like an average crop. But very little either of Johnson grass or alfalfa hay has been saved In this county so far this year. One farmer, who at this time last year had cut and cured some thing over 100 tons. said that he had put up his first stack on last Fri day.
 Strudwick Tutwiler of the department of commerce and labor of Washington Is here as the guest of his parents
 Much fine fruit has been raised in this county this year, especially peaches. The soil survey of the county has just been received from Wash ington and this shows that the soils of the county are especially adapted to fruit culture.

IRREGULAR CLOSE
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Late Months Are Weak and
 the Others Strong
RECEIPTS ARE HEAVY
Breaking of the Heat Wave Causes Weakness in Corn Which Declines. Oats and Provisions Also
 Close Lower

Chicago, July 29.-It was logical mar by shorts that a squeeze was impending the July option showed strength The deferred months were enthusiastically weak. Crop news in the northwest re- ported losses. They were not proving so radical as expected. The close showed a net rise of 3sc for July contrasting with a decline of 5s@1hc for the later deliveries.
 Other leading staples all finished with loss. Corn, 1Q11hc; oats, h@hc. and provisions 5Oc to 32hc dropped in prices.
 The most potent factors in shaping values lower for wheat was the seeming diminution of buying power both for the cash grain and for futures. There was evidently no anxiety to purchase, and this grew later in the day. especially on the part of milling speculative or other buy CTS. It was asserted receipts would be lighter as soon as the present big run is in.
 Arrivals at primary markets today were heavy old world shipments being esti- mated at a liberal total. Considerable feeling developed over report that the officials of the exchange would hold a special meeting and the declaration would be made that the commodity in cars here would be deliverable on July contracts cording to one authority. however, suf- ficient reason for drastic action did not exist.
 The difficulty at the bottom is a fight between two big elevator interests. 1t is said.
 One concern had sold huge lines of wheat and had not succeeded in getting as much grain into public elevators as the filling of July contracts demanded. The effect on the market was to make trading largely scalping affair Septem- Der ranged from $1 .02a4 to $l.04A, with the close weak at s1 .02A@1. .02M, net loss of %61c.
 Corn sagged because of the breaking of the heat wave and on account of the larger country offerings. Moreover speculators were not readily digesting the large quantities sold in the last two days. September fluctuations were be- tween 621a@63%c, with the close 1G1Bc down at the last mentioned price and the tone was weak.
 The cash market was also weak. No. ? yellow closed at 65@658c.
 Miscellaneous liquidation gave oats a downward cast, although the market showed better raliying power than did other grains. September varied from 3elsc to 37AG37ssc, and closed 1kc off at 3eHc.
 Provisions were sold heavily by com mission houses acting for one of the leading packing concerns. In conse. quence the close was 121a0l321sc down fol pork. s121ac to 15617hc for lard and 5e to 321ac for ribs.
 Future ouotafious were as follou.

New York. July 29.-(Special. )-The end of the July trading came today at noon as a welcome relief Some spectacular movement had been expected, but the con- testants had withdrawn from the fray and the close was tame at 15.60c. August now becomes the battle ground. It ad- vanced sharply after noon, but became normal later and dull. The trade is more interested now In new crops
 Cables from Liverpool were poor and the market overbought. Realizing was general with selling for European account and a gradual recovery to midday. The continued lack of Texas rain is stimulat- ing bullish estimates pending the bureau report in August. but conservatism is de- sirabe as the issuers of these estimates are heavy buyers, and the rise may have discounted the conditions at present. The Texas condition is the potent factor and should be watched. Rain there is much needed. It's absence Is not yet distraous
