COTTON MARKET
STEADY YESTERDAY
Firm Liverpool Market Felt.
Improvement Sustained
During Day

New York, July ga firmer Liverpool
market than expected and apprehension
over weather conditions in the central and
western belts. notably Texas and Okla
homa, chiefly explained the steadiness
which prevailed in the local cotton mar
ket most of the session today Opening
prices We're to 56 points net higher and
most of the improvement was sustained
during the day until about an hour be-
fore the close when a sudden drop of
July cotton at New Orleans unsettled the
local market and caused sharp reac-
tion to lowest levels of the day. the close
showing net decline to l TO points
Although New Orleans subsequently re-
covered half its loss the market con-
tinued under pressure and was nervous
right up to the close Underlying sent-
ment in New York, however notwith-
standing this break in the south, was per-
haps more bullish than bear1sh, as the
trade is rather apprehensive about the
crop outlook in the western belt, par
tieularly Texas where the forecast indi-
Gated dry weather for a day or two
longer at least. Complaints about crop
detoriation in that state from drouth have
begun TO appear in considerable numbers
and it. was believed that unless general
rains soon appear. previous liberal esti-
mates may have to be materially reduced
Throughout the eastern belt further good
showers provided an abundance of mois-
ture and crop accounts were generally
favorable. Arrivals of cotton at New
York today were 5007 bales including 2fSS
bales consigned it being understood that
most of the iatter cotton was intended
for delivery on July contracts.

LEADING STAPLES
ALL SHOW SETBACK
Rust Scare Fades Away, Al
lowing Wheat Market to
Ease Off

Chicago, July 22.-Fading away OF the
rust scare allowed the wheat market to
ease off. Closing prices were steady at
a net decline of Aaasc to sc. Other lead
ing staples, too. all showed a set back;
corn, 1ac to s4@5sc oats, sc. and provi
sions 2lac TO 121sc.
Danger from black rust seemed to be
regarded as practically over in view of the
cool weather in Minnesota and the Dako-
tas. Conditions today for the spring crop
were declared to be ideal with the rust
making no progress whatever. So rap
idly was the plant said to be films that Il
great deal of wheat would be cut this
week in Minnesota. The Russian outlook
was also reported to be fine.
Rallying power in wheat developed dur
ing the middle of the session on account
of good export inquiry, but most of the
foreign demand had reference only 10
shipment that would be immediate. AS
milling sales were comparatively s1ght
the merchandising did not seem sufficient
to sustain the market at a permanent ad-
vance. Short sellers again took hand
and were in control throughout the last
hour.
Seaboard clearanees of wheat and -four
equalled 219,00O bushels. Primary receipts
of wheat were 1,792,000 bushels; a year ago
1,096,000 bushels.
Predicted showers made corn prices de-
cline At first, however, the bears were
at a disadvantage owing to the weather
map showing an absence of moisture.
Oats displayed no independence, being
swayed wholly by the action of corn.
Provisions weakened with hogs. Most
of the business was in lard.

FEATURE OF THE DAY
IS BREAK IN JULY
11.92c, Which is As Points
Under Previous Days
Closing Quotations

New Orleans, July 22-The feature of
the day in the cotton market was the
break in July to u.92c, which was As
points under yesterdays closing quota
ton. July displayed weakness from the
early trading, when the new crops were
displaying more or less firmness on re-
ports of drouthy conditions in the cotton
region. Selling was generally accredited
to holders Of long contracts who were
tired and letting go in the face of the
possibility of tenders. BY some, it was
thought that the bull interests who have
been operating heavily in July for some
time We're letting go, but other traders
claimed that these interests had already
liquidated and that today's selling came
from trailing longs, who were scared ou
by the stories of new bales appearing at
many Texas points.
July worked down to 12.S0c by noon,
a loss of Z points, compared with yes
terday's close. In the afternoon heavy
selling orders were given the ring and
brokers were able to effect sales only by
concessions of to s points at time.
At the lowest shorts brought covers and
the price recovered a few points The
new crops showed some sympa tfetic
weakness but at their lowest made a
net loss of only to points. The close
was steady 8 to 81 points under yes
terday's close.
In the morning session the new crops
went l to points over yesterdays last
prices on the continued dry weather in
the west and mentions of drouthy condi-
tions over a considerable portion of the
belt by the weekly reports.

Who Got Hit?
From the Chicago Daily News.

From the Chlcago DAILY news.
Poor old Pat, while walking down
the street, received nasty blow on the
head from a brick which happened to
fall from building in course of con-
struction.
Still, he managed somehow to keep
his wits, and the first thing he did after
he had been taken home was to send
for lawyer. whom he instructed to
take action against the builders.
Some weeks later, when Pat was con-
valescent, the lawyer called again and
reported that he had succeeded in set
ting the case; then blandly he handed
over a $40 bill.
How much did you make the man
pay?" asked Pat.

the lawyer, $1,000"

u,hhard Bros. e. Co.'s Letter

New York, July 22.-tSpeciaL) )-Our
market showed an underlying strength
during the day on the decidedly un-
favorable weather report for the week
which showed that Texas and Okla
boma in spite of the recent showers
were badly in need of rain. The sun
shine and temperatures have been ex-
cessfve.
In the last hour the liquidation of
July i'm New Orleans carrying that po-
sition below July in New York brought
selling here in sympathy, causing a
reaction.
We do not believe that the Euro
pean markets will follow this decline.
1t is still a question of whether rains
will come in time to save the Texas
crop, which is fast approaching a most
critical stage.

GREATEST GAINS ARE

Republic Steel Rises to 8
Points-Money Reflects
Increased Activity

New York. July 22.-During the greater
part of todays stock market session
prices exhibited more irregularity than at
any time since the upward movement of
last week. Trading frequently came to
standstill and the movement lacked the
breadth of the previous day.
fairly strong opening, due in part to
the higher level quoted in London, soon
gave way to general declines. notably in
New Haven, California Petroeums and
some of the obscure stocks, while Wells
Fargo added points TO its II pon. loss
of the previous day Decline in New
Haven issues resulted largely from the
announcement that the company purposes
to issue S67552 900 of debenture bonds,
some two-thirds of which will be utilized
in paying off maturing notes.
On the other hand, a few of the bet
ter known railroad issues, such as Balti-
more and Ohio and the Grangers and Can
adian Pacific were consistently strong.
Greatest gains were recorded among the
industrials. Republic Steel preferred rose
points.
Reading. United States Steel and Can
adian Pacific attained their best prices
in the final hour, but realizing sales in
the latter soon caused it to yield, while
the balance of the list receded fraction

The weekly weather report was OF a
mixed character, but favorable in the
main. 1t is clear, however, that some sec

tinue to suffer from drought.
