COTTON IRREGULAR
 BUT CLOSED STEADY
Demand Encouraged Con- tinued Firmness of the
 Stock Market

New York, July 21.--The cotton markc. was somewhat irregular today. but prices ruled generally steady with the close steady at net advance of to Il points.
 Liverpool was lower than due and the market here opened at a decline of to 3 points. but quickly rallied on covering and Liverpool buying. The weather map failed to show the expected precipitation in south Texas. which doubtless led to considerable covering and the demand became little more active on the puhH- cation of the western belt forecast for cooler. but generally fair weather Liver pool buying probably was the chief de- mand on the advance. which carried prices about points net higher during the middle of the morning and after the close of the English market had shut out straddle business prices here turned easier There was a little selling on the Texas weather details showing rains in northern. central and coast sections, and after the publication of the weekly weather report. which indicated favorable crop progress on the average, the market eased back to about last nights closing
 figures Offerings. however. were by nc means aggressive and the market firmed up rather sharply in the late trading or renewed covering, Wall street and Liver pool buying. This demand probably was encouraged by the firmness' of the stock market and the failure of the bearish view of the weekly weather report to promote more aggressive selling. Liverpool buy ing was supposed to reflect a further un- doing of straddle accounts, and 1t is be- lieved that this demand has taken quite a good many contracts out of the market here during the past two days. Closing prices were within a point or two of the best Exports today were 7347 bales, malS- ing s,25l535 so far this season. Port re- ceipts, ATT bales; United States por' stocks, 355 bales

OUTSIDE TRADING
 COTTON MARKET Prices at Close Are Nearly Equal Best of the
 Season

New Orleans. July 21.-Short covering was the main influence in the cotton mar ket today. and at the. close the trading months showed a net gain of 10 to Il points. which was within a point of the best of the season. In the early trading the market fell off to a level to points under yesterdays close but on the decline a good demand sprang up in the face of poor cables and good weather reports. The market did not display the selling power of the two preceding seasons ses- sions of the week and by noon the decline was replaced by a small net advance. which was widened in the afternoon.
 Weekly weather reports were better than expected. which led to bearish foreca sts of the coming condition figures from the government. Both private and official reports from Texas made mention of rains in the drouth area. but neither these rains nor weather accounts stimulated selling to any extent. Bulls considered that the market was in the same over sold condition that was noted early last week, and their views brought in consd- erable fresh outside trading

BIZ EXPORT SALES IN WHEAT MARKET Close of Market Is Steady But Under Last
 Night

Chicago, July 21.-Exceptlonally good weather throughout the wheat belt caused lower prices here today notwithstanding big export sales. The market closed steady but so to 1Sc under last night. Corn wound up at ss @ 1kc to 1@11sc advance, oats un- changed to ssc off and provisions with gains of Sc to 10c.
 Ideal conditions for what left the market at first with scarcely any sup port but heavy buying, said to be for France. and reaching an aggregate of 900. 900 bushels later caused an up- turn. However, this at no time amount ed to full recovery
 Corn parted company with wheat. and rose in response to buying due largely to the cool temperatures which prevail and which were said to be retarding growth.
 Oats within narrow range.
 Provisions. which at first headed downgrade with hogs. were later show ing decided strength.

TALK ON THRIFT
That Daughter of Yours

"One is already poverty stricken if his habits are not thrifty. y."-Theodore T. Munger
 She's little bit of girl now. Maybe she's just learning to creep little and lisp a few words that nobody can under stand but you and her mother. Perhaps she has just started to go to school.
 At any rate, her wants are few and simple as yet But she is learning to want more all the time.
 / By-and-by she will need nice dresses, Q high school and perhaps a college educa- tion. If she's at all musically inclined she will want piano and many lessons on 1t. If you are a wise, forward-looking father you will begin today to save for the in- creasing needs of your growing daughter. If you have more than one daughter, if your ''quiver is full of them," your respon- sibility Is approximately greater.
 Philadelphia schoolgirl asked permis- sion to quit school and go to work. She said her father had been killed, her mother was i'll, and her brother on half pay. so she had to help support the family.
 Might not a series of misfortunes put your daughter into a similar position? Or Is your life insured. and are you building bulwark of savings at the bank to pro. tect her from such possibility?

MUCH ACTIVITY

War Shares and United States Steel Reach a
 High Figure

Now York. July 21.-All previous per
 formances for activity and strength in
 war shares were surpassed by today's
 stock market. Bethlehem Steel made the 1 new high price of 204 and Westinghouse at
 1l01s and American Can at 5Sss, eclipsed all
 former records.
 These shares. together with United 1 States Steel which came within frac- tion of It's best quotation of the year
 comprised fully 30 per cent of the day | turnover, while obscure industrials and | equipments contributed another 20 per
 cent with gains of 2 to points. The move
 ment was at it's height in the final hour,
 when Westinghouse and United States
 Steel was absorbed in large blocks. II Dealings In railroad shares were nomi-
 nal at all times. Low-priced railways were seldom quoted at al Missouri Pa II cifc proving the exception at the new
 low price of 2A.
 The interesting development of the for
 eign exchange market was the weakness
 of francs on the steadier tone of rates on London, a reversal of recent conditions. Delay in consummating the French credit was assumed to be the cause of the lower rate for Paris cables. Time money was quotably unchanged. Commercial paper is being accepted more freely.
 Additional proof of the improved state of the financial industry was further fur nished by the semi-annual report Of the Republic Iron and Steel company, which showed substantial gains in net earn ings and surplus. The bond market developed some irregu- 1arity after an early undertone of strength. Total sales. par value, aggregated $i,- F9o.000
