MORE LIQUIDATION
 IN COTTON MARKET
After Making Further Low Records Prices Become
 More Active

New York, July 20.-Notwithstanding the tremendous volume of selling recent ly there was renewal of liquidation In the cotton market today resulting in an- other set of new low records, after which prices did better on more active covering and support from trade interests, with the close firm at a net decline of to IS points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to points and active positions sold about T to points net higher during the early trading in response- steadier cables than expected, reports that -conti- mental spinners had been good buyers In Liverpool. foreign and domestic trade buying In the local market. covering of shorts, and purchases for a reaction. But buyers showed continued nervousness and were evidently fearful of renewed llqui- dation, the first sign of which proved the signal for. another general selling move
 nent that for a time promises to fully equal any previously noted since the break began in point of excitement and activity.
 Prices quickly broke under this pressure with July contracts selling off to 13 or 45 points under the closing figures of yester- day, While August touched 12 points, Il net decline of 27 points, and later positions also established new low records, with October and December contracts selling at 1192c and January at II S0c, & decline of about 16 10 19 points compared with Wednesday finals At this level there was less cotton offering and the market later in the day showed a considerably better tone owing to a more active de- nland from shorts and continued buying by trade interests with closing prices bout 8 to 10 points up from the lowest on new crop months.
 There seemed to be no particular item in today's news to inspire additional con hdence on the bear side, and following such @ drastic break the reactionist had many arguments in his favor but the most encouraging feature in the trading was the buying attributed to spinners and the final rally seemed to reflect no material improvement in the general av craze of sentiment.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 20.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to 5 points on good cables. This slight ad- vance was not good response to the rise of the other side. The market was held down by an accumulation of sell ing orders over night. No attempt was made by the bulls to support either crop and the selling orders had full weight A certain scalping element went home last night in the ex- pectation of a material reaction and the selling out of this cotton added to the pressure on the market At the end of the first half hour of bus mess prices were points down to 9 points up compared with yesterdays close.
 Around the middle of the morning the markets had very good tone and prices showed an advancing tendency on covering by shorts. The list was put 3 to T points over yesterdays close. Here fresh short selling start ed and IL was also stated that the biz long interests renewed their liquida- ton. Cables stating that the Moroccan dispute was causing anxiety were shown about and led to rumors that war between France and Germany was imminent. While these rumors did not have any great effect they added to the general distrust of the situation

MACHINE AGENTS
 MUST PAY TAX

Montgomery, July N.-(Special)-On the ground that wagons which are used in delivering sewing machines, lightning rods, stoves, ranges, buggles and other vehicles are not instruments of interstate commerce, Attorney General Robert C. Brickell has rendered an opinion to Audi tor c. B. Smith, in which he advises that a license of $10 imposed upon such ve hices by the recent revenue law is thor oughly valid. The opinion not only gives the state that additional source of reve- nue. but it at the same time approves certain arrests that have already been made in Alabama for alleged violation Of the law.
 The question came up along with con sideraton of the section of the code which requires a tax of $25 in each county for each person or firm selling or delivering such machines. The foreign corporations dealing in the sewing machine and wagon business have heretofore evaded the law on the ground that 1t Is in conflict with interstate commerce statutes.
 Two arrests have been made In Barbour county and one in St. Clair county by the state in enforcing the law.

ATTACKS ALLEGED
 WALLP PAPER TRUST

Cleveland, July 2o.-Four indictments were returned this afternoon by the federal grand jury, which has been in vestigating an alleged wall paper trust. The indictments charge a conspiracy in restraint of trade under the pro- visions of the Sherman antitrust law.
 The significance of this action. the government alleges. Is that the four men constitute the executive committee of the National Association of Wall Paper Jobbers.
 According to federal officials, more than 300 and 10 cent stores through out the country were affected by the alleged order of the jobbers
 The government first took up the in vestigation six months ago on the charge of Frank c. Hall, who operates number of and 10 cent wall paper stores in Pittsburg, that wall paper manufacturers and jobbers had com bined and refused to sell him wall paper

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'s Letter

New York, July 20.-(Special. )-Foreign advices were good and produced a slight recovery early in the day, but the pres sure of offerings became aggressive. with large Wall street and southern selling Excepting temporary rallies the trade hardly expects much improvement, if any, in prices, so long as the outlook for the crop is unchanged, and lower figures are thought most probable. The August government report Is anticipated with interest in view of the improved con- ditons The market is unsettled by all sorts of wild rumors, and the liquidation today was undoubtedly of former strong holders. The absence of any crop com plaint operates materially against buy ing and sellers are confident in their posi- tion.

WHEAT MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE Reported That the Winter Wheat Crop May
 Be Short

Chicago, July 20.-Belief in some falling off in receipts from the winter crop made wheat buyers today more active. The close was strong at l 1a O 5sc net advance. Corn on the wind up showed a gain of A c to 21s @2Ac over last night, and oats a rise of 9s to Ac. The outcome for hog products varied from 21sc lower to 200 increase in cost.
 Actual purchases of wheat to ar rive here were considerably lower than for the preceding 24 hours. It was also regarded as significant that the es- timated number of car loads expected to reach Chicago tomorrow had fallen to 61S as compared with 663 today and with much higher totals earlier in the week Local cash houses were not near ly so persistent as heretofore In their hedging sales and 1t was noticed that had materially decreased. From the outset, traders were confronted too. with reports of frost in the Canadian northwest cables were bullish and the export demand continued. Besides flour business appeared to have improved and there were worse fears than at any time before concerning black rust in Minnesota and North Dakota Later in the session Winnipeg sent word that If the wind remained in the north. Man itoba would probably suffer tonight from frost. As result the closing tone here was strong. During the day, Sep tember fluctuated between S7@S7 Isc and SS5sc, with last sales at the top figures reached net advance of l 5sc
 In corn small receipts, light accept ances and fair eastern demand were among the reasons for bulge. St, Louis was reported as buying hay from Canada and Tennessee, something en- tirely without precedent. The Septem- Der option here ranged from 63c to GA Bc and closed strong al 6494 c. an ad- vance of l < @2c compared with 24 hours previous. Cash grades were un- settled. No. 2 yellow finished at 64X @65c.
 The oats market was quite nervous and inclined to follow corn. Country offerings were light, although thresh- ing returns as reported by leading au- thority were asserted to be exceeding expectations High and low points touched by the September delivery proved to be 42%c and 41c with the close s4 c up at 42$sc.
 Provisions had a strong undertone, a consequence of the rise in grain. At the close pork was 21ac off to 20c dearer than last night and other pro- ducts up Dc to 5 0 71hC
