EGG QUOTATIONS
 SHOW STRENGTH
Car Load of Sweet Potatoes From Cullman Received
 on Avenue Yesterday

Fresh egg quotations on Norris avenue showed considerable strength Friday, and ar increase is expected at any time. While trade has been fairly brisk this upward tendency is due largely to in- adequate receipts. Poultry is plentiful, both flyers and the older chickens. The price of hens remains stationary, while flyers in a few markets have been ad- vanced slightly.
 Very little fresh produce was received on the thoroughfare yesterday. A carload of sweet potatoes from Cullman was the only receipt of any consequence.
 The markets are not as heavily stocked with watermelons and cantaloupes this week as last. Farmers in the Birmng- ham neighborhood are now supplying q large part of the trade, therefore the merchants are not buying very exten- sively.
 Current quotations are as follows.

UPWARD TURN MADE.
 IN WHEAT MARKET.
Exporters and Millers Re- ported AS Competing
 Has Bullish Effect

Chicago, August 11-With exporters and mil1ers competing for offerings. and with farmers reported to have stopped selling hard winter wheat, the market today took an upward turn. Closing prices were steady at net advance of 5sc to ss@%c. Latest figures on corn showed 8 gain of 1sc to A@Ssc and for oats a raise of 1s@ssc. The outcome in provisions was to 271sc decline.
 Improved demand for cash wheat both here and at the seaboard acted as the main lever that pried up futures A nov city in this line was called for round lot to go into storage in lake elevators at Mantowoca. Reports of local and eastern mills joining each other for an advance and there was constant evidence of heavy inquiry from foreigners.
 Reports were current that India was rainless and that the export surplus in Russia would be even smaller than re- gently predicted, not more than 64,0oo,OoO bushels. At the same time, word came that the movement of winter wheat from American farms had been practically shut off, the producers holding for higher prlceS, especially III tne Cdse Ol lHe HdIu varieties of the grain.
 The greatest strength of the season developed just before the close and was in decided contrast with early weakness, due mainly to rather premature report that frost danger in the Canadian north west had disappeared. September rang ed from s2lsd9SA@ssc. finishing steady, 5sc up at 931sc.
 Corn advanced following reports from Texas that second plantings were burn ing up under hot winds and lack of rain. Besides, the Argentine shipped nothing this week, against 4,66O,OO0 bushels In the corresponding period last year. The rise was in the face of an early decline attributed to rains over most of the belt. September fluctuated between 64a4c and 65s4d7sc, with the close steady, Ad3s net higher at 659s@s4c. Cash grades were firm. No. yellow, was quoted at 651a d66c
 Oats gathered a little strength from the fact that country offerings were large. There was rather free covering of shorts by dealers who at the outset of the day had taken the bear side. High and low points for the September option proved to be 42hc and 415sc, with last sales 1sc net highnr at 42c.
 Stop-loss orders were dislodged in the provisions market as a result of active speculative selling. In the end pork showed a drop of 27lzc from last night; lard was off 5 to 1Oc and ribs 10 to 221ac.

COTTON MARKET
 Is LESS ACTIVE Shows Nervousness, How ever, and Breaks Under
 Liquidation

New York, August 1.-The cotton mar ket was less active today, but showed continued nervousness, and after an early advance broke 20 points or more under scattering liquidation and local bear pres sure, which seemed to be inspired by pri- vate predictions of better weather in the southwest and the absence of aggressive bull support. The close was easy and last prices showed, a net loss of from 4 to | points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to II points and sold about F points net higher during the first few minutes on covering, little fresh buy ing encouraged by better cables than ex- pected and that the prospects were better for an early settlement of the English troubles. There was no aggressive bull support however. Readers of the weather map thought they saw indications of gen orally cooler weather in the sections complaining of excessive heat and tho market soon weakened under realizing by recent buyers for a reaction.
 Business became a little more active as the market worked lower and slight ral-
 lies occurred from time to time as the result of covering or support from trade interests, but the declining tendency con- tinued until active new crop months were selling a shade under the low point of yesterday, or around 11.13c for October and 110Sc for January Around these fig ures some rather large blocks changed hands and the decline was checked, but last prices were within a point or two from the lowest.
 The official weather forecast indicated showers for the eastern belt and Arkan- sas but called for fair weather in Okla homa and Texas, leaving the question of temperatures open. The days detailed weather report showed continued hot weather during the past 24 hours in the southwest, but private accounts seemed to be little more favorable on the aver age and the weekly figures showed a rap idly increasing new crop movement. Peo- pie in the foreign exchange market here report a steady increase of cotton bills dra VII in sterling, francs and marks, with the demand somewhat restricted owing to uncertainty over discount rates. After the close reports were received of show CTS in Texas and private sales were made points below the closing bids
 Receipts today. 4017 bales, against 124l last week and 4519 last year. Todays re- ceipts at New Orleans, 754 bales, against 751 last year, and at Houston 534O bales, against All last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August u.-(Special)- Further reports of hot weather in Texas caused an advance this morning similar to the improvement yesterday, and in the same manner the decline in the afternoon carried prices to the low point Just after the close reports of light rain at Gaines vile, Fort Worth, Tex, and at McAllis- ter, Oklahoma, caused decline in New Orleans The temper of the market is crop, and the absence of any large de- nland from spinners who feel the depres- sion in trade and fear tariff revision.
 We have been receiving many com plants from Texas during the week. but the trade has paid little attention to them, believing that rain would come and re- lieve the situation.
