.RUMORS OF WAR
 SEND WHEAT UP Prices Were Sent Soaring at the Opening Although
 Reaction Ensued

Chicago, July 26.-Moroceo pushed the rest ot the earth off the map today so far as wheat traders were concerned. War possibilities regarding the corner of Africa opposite Gibraltar outweighed every other influence and sent prices soaring Although a reaction ensued, the close was firm at a4@7sc net advance. Lat night to 11sc up, oats varying from 1ac lower to ss@1kc gain, and hog products dearer by 21A@20c.
 The worst of the furry as to Morocco took place right at the opening of busi- ness. Much excitement prevailed in the wheat pit, and there was unusually free lnyirg, shorts in particular showing thenselves in an anxious condition of mind. When the rush to purchase had been i1 measure satisfied, the market fell back more than half way from the top level reached There was a decided under current of nervousness, however, anc values received support from time to time. especially at every mention of sales for ocean shipment Spectators for the u4N St part were COllNluCed that d nedNy y export trade was going on in red winter wheat from the seaboard, and in hard winter from Chicago. Statements that blue stem crops in the northwest had be- come rust-smitten like the velvet. chaff variety, acted as a further discourage inert to the bears late in the session. Be- tween the opening and the close Septem- Der ranged from SSc to S9c. with last sales s4c net higher at SsSsc.
 Light receipts as we'll as the wheat bulge had a strengthening effect on corn. So dio reports of greatly enlarged con- sumption of feedstuffs owing to failure ot pastures west and southwest. Sep teinber fiuctuated from 6214@622sc to 631ac, clos ng steady isc net dearer at 627sc, but distant months virtually at the uppermost point or the day Cash grades were easy. Nff 2 yellow finished at 62A@62%c.
 Oats were under constant drag from hedging sales by country houses and by local speculators, who were handling rural COTS ignments. September varied from 391 39lsc to 40Bc, and in the end was @ shade up al 397s@4oc.
 Persistent buying of hog products re- sllted directly from the war talk in the neiehboring wheat crowd. At the end pork had risen 21s420c; lard, 5q121ac, and rIts nickel to a dime.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 26.-Cotton futures opened steady, points off to point up in spite of sensationally low cables. On the first call no attention was paid to the wide decline in the Liverpool and immediately after the more active new crop months were to 3 points over yes- terdays close. This was due to. extreme ly heavy buying, said to come from large traders who have been selling short for the last few days. The buying ex- ceeded offerings for the first quarter of an hour of trading, but at length the selling increased in volume sufficiently to be pressure on the market and the end of the first half hour of business prices were 10 to 12 points under yester- days last quotations. Belief in bear
 sh bureau report on condition was said to be the reason for the selling on both sides of the water. The weather man was called favorable.
 Toward the middle of the morning re- actionsts worked hard and by sending out a great number of telegrams' man. aged to arouse some little buying power which resulted in reaction of 20 points on October. The other active months on the list rose 10 to IS points from the lowest. The recovery and a small rise
 in English consols late in the day In the London market was a great help tc the bull side. Late in the morning the market was quiet and steady, but prices were none too well maintained At the highest of the morning the active months were two down to 10 up. compared with yesterdays close. At noon they were to 9 points, down.
 In the afternoon session the market showed decided reactionary tendency In the trading up to o'clock the new crop months were put 15 to + points

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 26.-Heavy American
 selling in Liverpool depressed that market sharply, and despite some support here prices dropped heavily. and the market was cratic with wide fluctuations during the day, closing, however, steady with great uncertainty as to the future. Gov eriug Of the short interest was the saving element in the market without which it s
 difficult 10 say how low prices might have
 gene, as the selling was general from the
 south and other quarters. Foreign politi-
 cal questions disturbed the markets. but prices have declined to such an extent that extreme caution should be used i' selling, though the weather map is ex cellent and the outlook good. Cloth buy CTS hold aioof in Manchester. The mar ket will turn on the advances from Liv erpool, anG a reaction is in order. Tn situation favors sharp changes in quota

NORTHERN APPLES
 NOW IN MARKET Shipments Will Be Coming Steadily From Now Until
 Early in September

A carload of northern apples were re- ceived by merchants of Morris avenue Wednesday. The shipment is the first to arrive from the northern states this year. In Illinois and Indiana, where ap- ples are grown extensively. the crop is maturing rapidly, and shipments will be coming in steadily from now on until about the first of September. The crop of winter apples also promises to be large in that section. Several barrels of California pears and a nice lot of grapes were also among yesterdays arrivals.
 Not few changes have been made in the list of general quotations this week. Meat has advanced, eggs are a little higher and several increases have been made in the line of produce.
 The grain dealers were not as buoyant Wednesday as usual. Business was slack and prices were little weak, although no changes were made.

COTTON DEVELOPS MORE EXCITEMENT Early Break Followed By Sharp Rally-Closes
 Barely Steady

New York, July 26.--If anything, the cotton market was even more active to- day than 1t was yesterday and showed continued excitement. An early break was followed by a sharp rally on more general and aggressive buying than has been noted previously since the beginning of the big decline, but the improvement was not fully maintained and the market closed barely steady at although new crop deliveries were, C to points higher.
 The opening was barely steady at a decline of 27 points on August, while later deliveries were points lower tc points higher, which was a good dea better than due on the sensationa weakness reported in Liverpool. Cover ing was extremely active and while al positions except July made new low records with new crop deliveries sell ing 10 to II points net lower right after the call, the market soon stiffened up on the demand from shorts, heavy buying by trade interests and aggres- sive support from sold-out bears who were believed to be working for a sharp rally before the publication of the August bureau report early next week.
 Old crop positions were slow to im- prove, but from a net loss of 20 to 27 points worked up to within points of last nights final, while October ral- lied from 11.36c to 1165c, and a. one time during the afternoon new crop positions generally were about IS to 20 points net higher.
 The big break in Liverpool was at tributed to continental selling, which may have been inspired partly by un- easiness over the situation in Morocco. Reports from Georgia and Alabama in . dicated an improved condition of the crop compared with last month
