POOR UNDERTONE OF COTTON MARKET The Weather Reports Are Too Dry for the Good
 of the Crops

1 New Orleans, July 29-While cotton ad- vanced to 10 points in the early trad Ing today. the undertone of the market
 was poor and from the middle of the morning on the tendency was to sag. At one time in the early afternon the most active months were at net loss of 3 points and the close was unchanged to 2 points down net.
 The morning advance was due to good cables and continued drouth over the belt, but bulls, instead of following up their advantage, began taking profits, and the
 market did not stand up well under the offerings, especially when they were in- creased by selling orders from the short
 side. Opinions appeared to be growing
 more bullish concerning the coming con
 dition report, with private guesses of around 79 more frequent. but this did
 not stimulate buying. Late in the session
 realizing was heavy, and the fall months
 stood F to 1S points down from the best
 of the day.
 Reports from nearly all sections of the
 belt were that the weather was too dry for the good of the crop. Much shedding

BIGGEST BUSINESS OF SEVERAL MONTHS
Stock Market Prices Reach Highest Marks on
 Record

New York. July 29.-Speculation in the war stocks reached a climax today. The volume Of trading heavy as 1t had been on the preceding days of the week. was still larger today, and the market was In state of excitement throughout the session. It was the biggest days busi- ness of several months. Prices of the t moro unstable stocks were rushed up in a violent manner to the highest marks on record. In the last hour there came a sudden reaction, amounting to a collapse In few instances. The whole market sold off, and although there was a par tai recovery, the close was unsettled. Notwithstanding the severity of the break. the active industrials for the most part showed gains on the day, and the rail- roads were about on level with yester- days close. Total sales were 1,453, 300 shares.
 NO new element of importance was in- 9ected into the speculative situation, al- though bullish sentiment toward war stocks was fed by reports of increasing ca considerable amount of public buying, activity Of these concerns. and of pending X orders. The pronounced rise in this quar- i ter Of the market seemed to have attract which helped to push up quotations still h1gher. A movement of such range, based Tor the most part on no precise informa- tloh Of sufficient import to indicate it's permanence was of itself enough to point to an equally swift reaction. The decline was said to have been accelerated by the action of banks in calling a halt in a , convention on war industrials.
 Bethlehem Steel and Crucible Steel fig ured most prominently in the dealings. Crucible Steel jumped 17A points to S3. and then slumped II points. Bethlehem Steel rose Il points to 275 and in the late break fell back 15 Both shares es- tablished new high records, as did West inghouse Electric at 1121k and Allis- Chal- mers at BPS.

CLEARING WEATHER
 EXPRESSES WHEAT
Foreigners Fail to Take Ad- vantage of Break in
 Prices

Chicago, July 2a-Clearing weather in the harvest region did good deal today to bring about much lower prices for wheat The market closed heavy at 2%@ 27sc to sAc net decline. Corn lost Ts@1c to 1Aic, and oats t9sso to A@Sc. Pro- visions wound up with gains of 15 to A cents.
 Selling pressure which began at the outset in wheat. met but little resistance. and quickly dislodged a considerable number of stop loss orders. The fact that rains in the winter crop belt were con fined to sections east of the Missouri led to noticeable increase of country of- fers and tended to make handlers confi- dent that the movement of new wheat would show rapid increase. Besides advices were at hand that the yield per acre for winter wheat would average more than had been suggested by the recent government
 Fading away of the black rust scare added to the discomfort of the bulls. Experts went far as to assert that the South Dakota crop now was nearly safe. Another bearlsh influence was the slowness of export demand. Contrary to Wltl lldS Ol dtt DStii llit iuitf iotNiShSA . failed to take advantage of breaks It was said the total sales to Europe aggre- gated only 300. 900 bushels.
 Corn followed wheat down grade. Higher temperatures that implied faster growth stimulated activity on the selling side.
 Oats fluctuated nervously owing to crop damage reports. In the end how ever, the market was dominated by the heaviness of other grain.
 Buying for packers led to sharp rally in provisions. Export business was said to have been the ground for the invest ment.

along the cause of compulsory eduea- ton or anything for the children Of Alabama, let me know.
 T like the quiet way the suffrage omen of Alabama are working. Some how it savers of the good memories and gentle women of the old south.s
 Of the inadequate amount of money provided for school purposes, the wom- en teachers do not get their fair share. In Massachusetts. the average pay of woman teacher in the public schools is about one-third that of a man. In New York the woman teachers for years used their indirect influence" to the utmost before they finally succeeded in securing equal pay for equal work. In all the states where women vote men and women teachers get equal pay for equal work.
 Here Is another reason why the vote should be in the hands of women as well as men, the protection of the school and the teacher alike make womans suffrage a necessity.
