TRADERS TAKE ID
 THE SELLING SIDE.
Rain and Cooler Weather Improve Wheat Crop
 Outlook

Chicago. July 3-Rains and cooler weather so improved the crop outlook in the northwest today that wheat trad CTS naturally took to the selling side. Closing prices varied from ikc lower to ssc advance.
 In corn there was a. net decline of 11s0 1Ae to 1as@11Rc and for oats fall of Ssc to ssc. Provisions wound up more costly by 2l2c to 121se. compared with the previous night
 Weakness in the wheat market was has. tened to some extent as a result of the fact that there would be no further chance to unload till after the Fourth. Another bearish factor was an estimate from a prominent exporter that the total yield this season in the United States would be 2o.OO0ooo bushels larger than a year ago. It was the extent and benelt of the rains both sides of the Canadian line, however, that counted most a year ago. July wheat proved ak exception to the general weakness ans showed an ad- advance.
 Between the opening and the closing September ranged from s1 .022, to si. .os7s, finishing steady, ssn1ac down at s1 .0sA6l 1. .o2ss. Nearly perfect field conditions, to- 6e'hel Wiln peariSn crop estimates, were down on corn. Cash demand was just as poor as in the case of futures Sep tember fluctuated from 69%c to 71hc, closing 19s@115c net lower at 69%@697sc.
 No. yellow was quoted at 74iAc In the oats market deferred months touched the lowest prices vet reported for the crop. Splendid weather and the private esti- mates of a big yield were responsible. Outside limits touched by September turned out to be 37ssGSSisc. with last sales 371sc. a loss of ssc from last night.
 Provisions were hoisted because of A less bearish showing than expected in regard to cut meat supplies here and at other leading centers.
 The hog run, too, was light. In the end pork stood 1O@i21sc net higher, with lard and bacon 21sm71ac increase in cost.

SHARP ADVANCE
 |NCOTTON PRICES Cotton Crop Report Proved Less Favorable Than
 Expected

New York. July s.-The governments S cotton crop report, issued at noon today, proved less favorable than expected. and was followed by sharp advance in prices with the market closing very steady at net gain of from 24 to g points.
 The market opened steady at decline of ? points to an advance of 1 point and during early trading showed no par ticular feature as trading was very quiet. The market fiuctuated within a range of 8 or points with prices showing tendency to work few points higher on reports of continued showers in the eastern belt. The government report making the condi- tion of the crop S0.4 and showing a reduc- tion of about ' per cent in acreage as compared with last year, however, started an active covering movement, as a result of which October advanced from Il .51c the closing figure of yesterday, to il. soc, or about 20 points. Other months showed similar gains, and while realizing was heavy enough to check the advance around this level. only slight reactions occurred, and the close was within or points from the best The local trade had been looking for a condition around S2 per cent, and for reduction of not more than D or 6 per cent In acreage.
 The action of the market after issuance of the government figures was said to re- fleet modification of views as to maxi mum crop probabilities as a result of the reduced area and the fact that the condi- tion as of June D was shade under the 10 year average.
 Local statistieians said that mathemat- ieally and assuming the same conditions for the development of the crop during the balance of the season az last year, to- days report pointed to about 13, 100000 bales. Liverpool which extended its trad ing hours in order to operate on the re- port also showed marked hrmness after the publication of the figures, and there was considerable foreign buying here, all though the bulk of the demand in the local market was believed to be in the way of covering, and there was a good deal of selling on the advance by old longs

] ADVANCE NOTED IN
 LEADING SHARES Some Attribute Fact to the Recent Developments in
 Baltimore

New York, July 3.-When the stock market opened today with advances which ran from l to ? points in lead ing shares there was a tendency in some quarters to attribute the fact to the conclusions reached by the demo cratic national convention. Those who sought the reason for the reaction which ensued and which converted gains into losses, also professed to find in 1t the facts from Washington of the resignation of the assistant secretary or the treasury. An accompaniment of all legations affecting the administrative capacity of his chief was offered.
 No accurate explanation was of fered but the interpreters Of market movements were loath to reject It. Re- sessions of the second hours trading did not hold throughout, however. the list making partial recoveries
 The speculative favorites remained under some pressure except those com promising the Hill group, when galneu materially as result primarily of fla vorable crop prospects in the north ] west. Later Ontario and Western re- covered to a price above that quoted last week when the dividend was sus- pended. American tobacco was decided ly heavy with reaction in other shares of that group.

 On the new crops the market had an ad- vancing tendency. This continued for an- other hour July reacted. however, under profit taking by longs. At the highest the most active months were g to 2S points over yesterdays close.
 At noon the new crops were to points up, but July went up 16 and the others then went up 22 to 23 points. July at the highest was 16 points up. The con dition figures indicated an improvement in the condition of the crop during Jsle Of only 1.5 points. and the acreage figures indicated decrease in the area planted of per cent. The average expectation was for an improvement in condition of about points and deerease in acreage not to exceed per cent Many traders looked for even smaller decrease in acreage than given.
 In the afternoon the market was quiet but steady.
 Prices were held down by liquidation of the long interest over the holiday, but they still maintained q tendency to ad- vance on the new crops.
 At 2 D. m. July was 16 points up and the new crops were 27 points up.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. July 3.--Cotton futures opened steady and unchanged to 4 points up, compared with the last prices of yes- terday. Cables were not as good as ex- pected, but they did not encourage much selling because of the continued rain in the central and eastern sections of the cotton belt.
 The forecast promised more rain, which gave the market good tone after the call. Both sides adopted waiting attitude be- cause of the bureau reports. At the end of the first half hour of business prices were 5 to points up.
 The market was quiet but very steady up to II a. m. Then the bureau report of the government was put out.
