TRADE SLOW DUE
TO HOT WEATHER
Corn Still Going Up-New
Supply of Cantaloupes
Received

The sweltering weather, which has pre-
vailed for the past Smonth, continued to
throttle brisk business on Morris avenue
good yesterday. practically NJ changes
occurred in prices.
One notable exception. however, was the
rise in price of corn. From Saturday
.yeserday corn quotatinss advanced from
Csc to Csc a bushel The rise was. not
unexpected for during the past week corn
has advanced from 1c to &c a day Mer-
chants predict that within the next three
or four days the price of corn will be 81
or over.
This gradual rise is attributed to the
hot winds which are blowing over the
corn belt, which is parching the crops and
to the lac kof rain in the same locality
Grain merchants state that until relief is
received the price of corn will continue to
soar. The prices of other feed products
remain stationary
A new supply of eantaloupes was re-
-ceived yesterday and the demand was
coed. Other fruits are in good demand.
Several reductions occurred in meat yes

Indication of either a decrease or rise.
Standard granulated sugar went up sc

SHORT ADVANCE IN
COTTON MARKET
FURRY of Covering Fol-
lowed by Reaction and
Fresh Buying

New York. August 1.-THE failure OF
today's weather report to show rains in
the southwest. as predicted ON Saturday
caused a short advance in the cotton
market at the opening, but furry OF
covering was followed by reactions and
fresh buying seemed to be restricted by
re ports of good rains in Arkansas, in
ereasing new crop receipts, and favorable
crop advices from the eastern belt. The
close was steady with last prices to 6
points net higher
Business was active early and many of
Saturdays sellers appeared to be buying
back their contracts on reports that moth
ing more than few light showers had
fallen in Texas over Sunday. Cables
were a shade better than due. which con-
tributed to the nervousness Of recent SELL
ers, and first prices were 10 to Il points
above the closing figures of last week.
The first furry of buying seemed to ex-
haust the immediate demand, however,
while the market met considerable cotton
above IL cents for December and prices
soon began to sag off. Business be-
eame less active on the decline. and after
easing off to about the closing figures of
Saturday the market was again steadied
by covering. with the close showing raj
lies Of or points from the lowest. Re-
Forts of good rains in sections of Arlsan-
sas and an official forecast for unsettled
weather in Oklahoma encouraged private
predictions of a breaking in the south
western drouth. The detailed weather re-
port showed continued high temperatures
in both Oklahoma and Texas, with a few
light showers in the eastern part of the
latter state and noon weather reports
showing no change in conditions helped
the closing rally Weekly reviews of the
crop outlook generally noted deteriora-
ton in the western belt, but claimed con-
tinued favorable progress east of the

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. August 11.-(Specia1 NO
rain fell in Texas and Oklahoma worthy
of note, but portions of Arkansas had
good rains and predictions indicate a
continuance of present weather condi-
tions over Texas and Oklahoma for
several days. At the opening prices ad-
vaneed some 10 points on the weather
reports then the local traders expected
rain tonight and being very bearish the
market lost the advance closing steady
to points higher.
Foreign letters state the feeling
abroad to be that the cotton will come
to market to be sold without any
American investment demand So long
as the> Clarke amendment Is pending
Europe believes they will be the inly
buyers, as no one will wish to buy in
market liable to be closed by legis-
lation. Regardless of crop advices they
feel 1t foolish to buy just now before
the rush of cotton to be sold. That is
the natural idea for them to take and
one which any man will admit must
tend to lower the price paid the
south.
