New York, July 27.--Crop and weather conditions dominated tho cotton market today.

The Texas drouth was also unrelieved, and more or less buying developed on this news also.
 The opening was steady and points lower to 1 point higher being affected by private reports of rains in Texas, which, however, proved to be neither general nor heavy enough to relieve the drouth. Liverpool was better than due, and with Wall street and the south fur nIshed most of the buying orders during the forenoon.

not only that great balance left from last year, but also future necessities, and they are sure to come.
 You will remember last year our people were helpless; they grasped at every prop osition to tide over the war. There was a grave suggestion by federal senator to bond the state for $40.000,000 to carry the cotton crop. This was a vagary, as were many other suggestions. At that time MT. Wilson offered a ship purchase bill, an enactment which believe would have carried more relief then. and would carry more relief now to the people Of Alabama, than any other measure sug- gested, except the. federal reserve banks. This ship purchase bill was submarined by six democrats. Its death was as shocking to business humanity as was the sinking of the Lusitania.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN
 RAILROAD SHARES
Stocks Gave Best Exhibi- tion of Strength in
 Sometime

New York July 27-The demand for stocks broadened today and the market gave the best exhibition of sustained strength in some time. Of particular sig- nificanoe- was the reawakening of activity in the railroad shares as the dullness and heaviness of these stocks of late have constituted one of the most favorable as- poets of the situation Today, however, a wave of optimistic feeling pervaded all quarters of the market, and the railway issues gradually came into the lead in speculation.
 The rise began with further marking up of the war stocks, several of which again made high records. The buying movement later spread to other special ties and in the afternoon it shifted to the railroad stocks. In the last part of the day the buoyant rise in these issues was the dominant feature. Even the war stocks were almost neglected in the com- prehensive movement through the rail- road list. St. Paul was lifted 519, Canadian Pacific 5, and large number of others from l to 4 points.
 Among the industrials Bethlehem Steel rose 20 points to 25O, the preferred points to 142; Crucible Steel, points to. 511a; Baldwin Locomotive, 2lh to S5; Can. 1ss to SIS, and Allis- Chalmers preferred. ? points to 6SA, all new high records.
 The rise was assisted by the differences drawn from the conduct of the market yesterday. The sharp recovery from the break on the torpedong of the American steamer Leelanaw was interpreted as an indication of underlying strength Buying of railroad stocks was prompted by an ev- ident scarcity of these shares.
 There was heavy buying of Steel in an- ticipation of favorable quarterly state ment and this expectation was realized fully when the statement appeared after the close.

UPWARD MOVEMENT IN COTTON MARKET Market Steady and Closed
 at Net Advance of
 Six Points

New Orleans, July 2.-Cotton stood at a small rise throughout the session today. offerings being light at all times. A steady but small demand served to sus- tain prices. At the next of the day the most active months were 10 points up. The close was at a net advance of 5 to 6 points.
 In the early trading the market was Influenced favorably by good cables and the lack of rain in Texas on the weather map. The highest prices were reached around the middle of the morning. To- ward noon private messages from Texas reported good rains at number of points In the drouth area and the market re- acted from the rise, at one time standing only points over yesterdays last quo- tations. Later another upward movement duplicated, but the market showed but little strength.
 Opinion was less bearish concerning the coming government report on condition, many traders predicting a loss of 1 to 2 points from last months /percentage. This had something to do with the steadi- ness.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 27.-The market today was very quiet, but little change In prices. Liverpool was rather better than due and that market was a buyer here early on arbitrage. Some light showers occurred In southwest Texas and while entirely insufficient. they gave rise to many private reports of rain and rather increased thereby the bearish feeling in local circles There was no pressuse from the outside and very little trend to the market in the afternoon. Toward the close telegrams of deterioration were re- ceived from Alabama and attracted some attention. since it is realized that the most critical portion of the season is now upon us and that it is possible therefore for these complaints to increase rapidly should conditions Dc unfavorable.

worst does not come. will be of far-reach- ing benefit.
 "On receipt yesterday of the news of the sinking of one little American ship by a German submarine, cotton went off 20 points. You can so safeguard Ala bama, that if far worse than this comes, even if war is declared, we will not have a repetition of the disastrous times of last year. There is no agricultural pro- duct which carries like cotton. Time does not injure its staple. The eventualities of the market, or of thetimes may be destructive not of the staple, but of the value. What we want is facilities to carry the values beyond this time, to a time when values will become normal. and the legislature can do that can assure you that bill unmixed with petty politics or places, a receipt of unimpeach- able validity. will benefit every interest in the state, and reach out into every in- terest that touches the state.
 Distressed Cotton Makes Price
 "As an axiom, it is the distressed cot- ton which makes the price. Eastern mills, even southern mills,> every buyer takes whatever advantage he can of the dis tressed cotton. One of the main purposes o fthis bill, is to have a safe place to put all of the distressed cotton of the state. Keep 1t off the market, giving the nOlueTb tnereOI place or reIuge, a place a safety. Senator McLaurin of South Carolina went before the Georgia legisla- ture at their request to give them the benefit of his experience, and of his study Senator McLaurin will come before you if need be. and also if need be, we will help pay the expense of his trip.
 The bill passed by the house and now in your committee establishes the integrity of a warehouse receipt. and hurts no interest. It would be a verity while other measures are pending. Yours truly.
