COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-After an early
decline, due to bear pressure and liquida-
ton, for over the week end, the cotton
market rallied on trade buying and COM
mission house support, with the close firm
at a net loss of only 3a6 points
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 1 point on the old crop, but gem
orally 2a5 points lower under scattering
liquidation for over Sunday and the forth
coming condition reports. Local profess
SIGNALS seemed to be bearish, probably on
an idea that after the advance Of the
earlier week considerable long interest
might be forced out on a scale down, and
with selling also encouraged by the bear
ish showing of the visible supply state
ment and private predictions for rain in
Texas offerings became aggressive dur
ing the early trading. Prices soon broke
to net loss of about 10a15 points, but
there seemed to be less long cotton for
sale than there had been antici-
trade were encouraging. and when
the western belt forecast was pub
lished, predicting lower temperatures
but no rain. the market firmed up on
trade buying and fresh demand from
commission houses, while many of the
early sellers turned for cover, causing d
sharp rally during the last hour. The
close was at practically the best point on
the winter months and within three
points of last nights finals on those posi-
iohs' wine tiie near months were rela-
lively easy. Reports from Fall River
said that sales of cloths for the week had
been in excess of a full weeks produc-
ton for the first time in long while, and
reviews Of the dry goods market general
ly indicated a better demand for cotton
products. Owing to the bank holidays
there were no cables from Liverpool, and
the market there will remain closed until
Tuesday. The private condition reports
are to be published Monday and the gov
ernment's August figures are expected

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. July 3O.-The stock exchange
during the week was again largely gov
erned by Americans, opening weak and
depressed, and finishing strong and cheer
full, with small general gains. Fears
that heavy losses through the recent
liquidation would create embarrassment
in the settlement did not materialize,
stocks having passed into stronger hands,
and the settlement was concluded with
out trouble A sharp rally of Americans
followed, and with favorable buying at
the lower levels the market closed yes
terday steadier than for some time past
The earlier American decline was de-
cisively checked Thursday. when the
ers. The United States Steel statement
and reports of the taking over of the
weak speculative position in Wall street
caused hasty bear covering, principally
for New York and continental account,
and with reports of good rain in the
corn belt, the midweek's decline of 81 to
81 was conveyed into a net gain Of 81
to 81.
PARIS, July 3O-Closing: Three per
cent rentes. 81 francs 25 centimes for
the account.
Exchange on London. 25 francs, 2Oh

spectacular accompaniment. The fact
was that the concern which was popular
ly credited with being most in a pinch
for July wheat was the principal source
of supply for purchasers today. At a few
times during the day the price. of the
option was bid up erratically and without
any transfer of ownership, but on the
whole the course was downward, partcu-
larly In the first half hour and the final
fifteen minutes. At the lowest point of
the day the price was 5A below last
nights level. The range was from 1.O3H
to 1.Osk. with the close weak at LOS to
1.O51t.
Rains said to be delaying the harvest
in Russia strengthened other options,
which were also affected by the firmness
of corn. September fiuctuated between
Io2ss and 1.O33sa1.O4. closing % to 5M up
at l.O3A to 1.O3Ss.
Many dealers who have recently been
sellers of corn took the opposite side of
the market today on the chance of a
repetition of last Mondays bulge, follow
ing dry and hot weather over Sunday.
Crop experts In the southwest sent in bad
reports. especially from Kansas and Okla
homa. September varied from g. to GA
and closed strong at 81 to 64h. a net gain
OF 11s to 1ss. July advanced only u. The
cash market was firm. No. yellow closed
at 651aa66.
Offerings of oats were light. One of the
leading commission concerns bought
steadily all day. September high and low
points for the session were 3Tas and 367s,
with the last sales at 3714a37ss, a rise of
3sa1s compared with last night.
An increased run of hogs was somewhat
offset in the provision pit by continued
purchases on the part of local specula-
tor. The close left pork ~ lower to &c
higher: lard, ) off to ~ advance, and
ribs with 1a171s loss to ~ gain.

chiefly as the result of weather returns
indicating abnormally high Temperatures
over Texas and Oklahoma. This infor-
nation, following many private tele-
grams. In which the claim was made that
the crops In some localities were literally
burning up, gave the market a steadier
tone and prices recovered nearly all their
losses. the market closing firm at a net
advance of one point on August and a
net decline of one to three points on the
new crop months.
Cotton futures closed strong. Closing

tober, 1912; December, 1885; January,
1889; March, 13.49: May. 1851.
The net results of the trading in the cot
ton market this week were nothing on the
old crop, August closing at the same
price as last week, but the new crop
months showed advances ranging from
As to so points.
Throughout the week the market was
dominated by crop news which was, on
the whole, unfavorable, and prices rose
steadily. Toward the week end bears
tried hard to sell the market down, but
found q constant demand for contracts
from investment buyers.
In the line Of crop news Texas and
Oklahoma furnished the chief feature.
Droughty conditions continued in both
states, with abnormally high tempera-
lures
There was bearish side to all this,
which manifested itself in the compare
lively large receipts of new cotton. At
Galveston up to the week end receipts
Of new cotton for the season amounted
to 800 bales. and at Houston 1888. Bears
claimed that should the hot, dry weather
continue a few days longer in Texas it
would result in a movement of cotton
that would add materially to the load
Of spot cotton the bull clique lis now
obliged to carry in order to sustain prices.
In the spot market prices lost three
eighths, middling closing at 145sc. against
15c last week and II 3-16c this week last
year. Sales on the spot amounted to
LASS bales. against 1.O92 last week and
3,4OO this week last year; sales to arrive
totaled 301 bales, against 146 last week
and 4O5 this week last year.
