COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Continued hot
weather over the eastern belt. with re-
ports of recordbreaking temperatures in
Georgia, caused further nervousness over
the new CT op outlook in the cotton mar
ket this mu1nins, and prices made now
high ground ftr the movement. Trading
Was not active, and there was moderate
realizing for Cvet the week end, but Of
ferings were readily taken by shorts,
fresh buyers Tor long account or trade
interests, and the close was firm at d
net ad. 1nce OF to points. The rul-
i'ig OF the Gables DID not Indicate any
particular apprehension o@ new crop
damage abroad, as Liverpool futures
were shade lower than due on the New
York close of yesterday. The increased
demand in the English spot market, how
ever, made the showing a fairly steady
one and the opening here was ) points
lower on July, but generally / to
pOiat5 higher
:'r,It taking was act..e enough to
cause some il:csu,arity right after the
call and Il little scattered selling may
have been inspired by prospects for cool
er weather with probable showers in
the western belt, but the market soon
s'eadie'' up. and became fiji m on the de-
tailed weather reports which showed
temperatures ranging up to 10S degrees
in one of the Georgia stations, with sew
eral eastern belt points reporting 105
TO 1W. Closing prices were practically
the best of the day. Old crop months
were relatively quiet and easy during
the entire morning, Notwithstanding fur
Their Withdrawals from the local certti-
Gated stock. Private crop reports re-
manned more or less conflicting. Texas
railroads are said TO be preparing to
handle a record-breaking crop, and so far
the high temperatures In the eastern
belt have brought in very few COM
plants. but there were scattering reports
Of deterioration, and those who take
bullish view of the crop situation claim
that present conditions will not help
the plant through the usually trying
month OF August.

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS. July 19.-Hot weather
in the belt was the main influence in the
cotton market on the weekend session,
and it caused a small rise in prices. The
advance would have been wider but for
profit taking by longs. This became
heaviest when the marhet looked strong
est. There was little short selling i'll
evidence any time.
The weather map was clear ind dry,
bu. did not cause very much buying. The
forecast of continued fair weather for
the largest part of the belt, increased
the fear of premature opening of bolis.
The market opened steady points
down to points up. compared with yes
terday's close. Gables were not nearly
as good as due. but were offset by the
weather conditions over the belt. In the
early trading prices ranged couple OF
points above and below yesterdays close,
but later the new crops went ) to q
points over yesterdays last figures. The
market closed steady points down to ]
point up net.

The price Of cotton this week was held
up by the hot. dry weather prevailing
ever. was discouraged by the efforts to
press the amendment to the tariff bill
putting q tax on future trading in cotton.
The net results Of the weeks business in
contracts were an advance of Ii to IA
points. The high prices were made on
Saturday and the low prices on Monday
and Tuesday. At the highest the trading
months were 10 to q points over last
weeks close: at the lowest they were 3
to points under. The range was p to %
points.
During most Of the week abnormally
dry weather prevailed over the cotton re-
gion Temperatures were moderately
high and the result was that plants did
not make satisfactory growth. although
some small plants were reported with
blooms to the very top. This led to re-
ports of forced maturity and to fears of
premature opening OF bolls. Without the
agitation against future trading 1t is prob
able that a stiff advance In prices would
have taken place.
Trading was chiefly confined to the new
crop months and it was almost entirely q
weather market.
Mill takings for the week were put by
Hester at 1893 600 bales, against 1913 600

NEW YORK. July 10, 1918.
At last the stock market pulled loose
from its rock-rooted anchorage and turn

deadly apathy it underwent the expert
ence of quite little boom, with visibly
increased activity. The demonstration
was agreeably impressive and traders
were highly elated. The bears had run
out of ammunition and things were begin

Of the street and arouse speculative am
bition-not Of the wild, reckless brand,
but cautious and accommodating in spirit
and action. Most men of consequence
and a faculty for analys sis had been say

happened that could happen, and that
the market was getting ready for an ad-
vance. This view was held to be sem
sibe but not conclusive.

Recovery from inside prices was not SELL

the creation of improved sentiment and
served a useful function. The awful
gloom that had settled upon the situation
was lightened visibly, and the sepulchral
feeling was measurably moderated.
The change was most grateful and the

actual price recovery is not phenomenal,
but 1t has been reassuring as far as it
went, and there was substantial buying
on both rallies and reactions.
