diately after the call the market became

down to point up.
The new crop months lost point from
yesterdays close and then advanced until
they were net points up. The weather
region and the forecast promised more.
Weather and crop news were both called
favorable.
From the middle Of the morning until
nearly noon the market had a steady
tone on a good demand from shorts who
were covering over the week end. Re-
ports OF higher temperatures in Texas
FASTENED this covering. Private messages
by cable from Bremen told of q better de-
mand from Russian spinners, and this
started talk Of reaction again. At the
highest of the morning the list was to

Weekly cotton review: The net re-
suits Of the week in the cotton market
were decline of 20 to 105 points. The
high prices were made on Monday. and
the low prices on Thursday and Fri
day; at the highest the list was to 9
points under last weeks close; at the
lowest 1t was "a to 10 points under.
From the highest to the lowest there
was drop Of IS to 106 points.
Liquidation Of the long interest was
almost the only feature in the trading
OF the week. The huge lines of long
cotton that had been hanging over the
market for several weeks, causing
grave concern among conservative
traders, were at last thrown overheard,
bringing about sensational decline.
Late in the week nothing but reac-
ton was talked of, but the market did
not act short enough to allow of a
natural reaction. Many circular writer's
claimed that the market was not as
short as the average bull claimed.
The liquidation Of the week was an
parently induced by reports of good
rains In the western belt. ending per-
manently all talk Of drought. Crop re-
ports throughout the week were favor
able. but little attention was paid to
anything but the technical side OF the
market. The week closed with pro-
fessional traders pretty well divided in
their opinions regarding the Immediate
future Of prices.
In the spot department prices lost q,

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON, July 22.-Amerfcan securities
were steadily supported on the stock ex-
change during the past week, but the rest
Of the markets were dull and depressed
and generally lower. The Moroccan con-
troversy and the political crisis at home
were the chief causes of the nervousness
prevailing. and brought offerings from
Paris and Berlin, as we'll as local sources.
Kaffirs. foreign bonds and consols were
the most affected, while home rails had
an additional incubus In the shape OF the
dock strike and possible miners troubles.
Weekend covering put prices above the
lowest. but the final tone was unsettled.
Consols showed q net loss Of five-eighths.
The American section again provided
the bright spot, and prices advanced from
one to four points during the week. Good
crop reports. accompanied by Wall street
buying, induced local covering and q
steady to firm tone prevailed through
out.
Discount rates gradually hardened. ow-
ing to the large quantity OF American bills
offering and the possibility that good
crops may draw q larger amount OF gold
to America than anticipated.
Money was easy and discount rates
were steady today.
The stock market was dull and unin-
teresting. Home securities declined on
the political outlook. but rubber stocks
and Rio Tinto shares closed steady. For
eign securities were barely steady.
American securities were steady and q
fraction over parity on favorable crop re-
ports. Union Pacific and Canadian Pa
cific received the most attention.

ton caused Q heavy tone on the bourse

NEW YORK. July 22-The nat result
a operations on the stock exchange to-
day must have proved disappointing to
those who expected continuance Of yes

At the outset were generally higher. with

thought IT improbable to press its ad-
vantage further.
At all events. before the end Of the

failed to excite interest.

On the recession Union Pacific fell q

high price OF the year. American Smelt-
ing was one of the strongest stocks
among the industrials in the first hour.
demand for this issue apparently having
been stimulated by the report that the
federal investigation Of the company had
failed to disclose damaging Information.
Canadian Pacific. which has been con-
spicuous by reason of the rapidity of its
advance recently. fell with the general
market, losing a point. The local trac-
ton issues. so prominent earlier In the
week, were neglected.
Europe Heavy Seller.
Europe sold about 5000 shares in this
market. and houses with London con-
nections said that there was some in
creased uneasiness over the Moroccan
situation. 1t Is probable. however. that
the London selling was due chiefly to
the fact that prices in this market were
established at higher levels than In Lon
don In the early part of the day. The
London selling was factor In weakening
the local market. although the determin-
ing influence in the movement seemed TO
be hQuiuauon OF speculative lines bv
traders who for some days have been ax-
gressively bullish.
Recent conditions in the copper trade
found reflection In the annual report
OF the American Smelling and Refining
Company. Net earnings were virtually
unchanged from last year. but charges
for profit and loss adjustment and for
depreciation reduced the surplus for the
year to almost one half Of the preceding
years amount.
