FISH SHORTAGE EXPECTED
 ON ACCOUNT OF GULF STORMS

The storms on the gulf coast will affect
 the local fish market to the extent that
 there will be a scarcity for the next 1s
 or b days. and it Is possible there will be
 an increase in the price of fish B. B.
 Hudson says there VIII be about half
 enough fish to go around for the next half
 month. MT. Hudson also is of the opinion
 that there will be some advance in prices.
 No advances were announced yesterday and the market is steady with fair demand
 from consumers.
 The market for chickens and eggs is in
 good shape and arrivals are reported by
 several merchants. One of the largest commission houses in the city yesterday reported the arrival of nine coops oi chickens and five cases of eggs from Ala bama points. V. W.

MARKET AFFECTED !. BY STORM REPORTS
Cotton Prices Ruled Steady With Close at a Small
 Decline

New York, August 19.-While the more
 bearish view of southwestern storm ef-
 fects on ultimate crop prospect seemed
 to be gaining ground in the market here
 today, offerings were limited and prices
 ruled generally steady. with the close
 steady at decline of points on August,
 but generally unchanged to points
 higher.
 Cables failed to meet yesterdays ad-
 vance and the local market opened al a
 decline of 4 to points. Reports that the tropical storm was moving northwest
 ward with diminishing intensity probably
 increased the disposition to realize on
 cotton bought yesterday. but offerings
 figures by renewed demand from Liver pool and local support Reports from the southwest as to the effect of the storm were very conflicting, some emphasizing the damage in the fields and open cotton. while others predicted that the breaking of the drouth would stimulate growth and add more to the ultimate crop than could possibly be represented by immediate losses. Uncertainty in this respect prob ably tended to check general business, but the failure of the improvem in the wire service to bring in renewed hedging from the southwest, and a feeling that the market had discounted such bearsh fea- lures as the expected contraband declara- ton led to a scattering demand on which the market sold about 3 to points net higher during the early afternoon. Liver | pool reports that an ocean liner had been torpedoes caused a quick break of or s points later but the spurt of selling soon subsided, and the market closed within | ? or points of the best The detailed | weather reports showed good rains in I Alabama. Mississippi and Tennessee, l where 5droughty conditions were com 1 pained of in the weekly weather report of yesterday. but some of the late advces I from the south reiterated the reports of I damage from the tropical storm.

The market was held down until the middle of the day when snorts commenced 10 show nervous ness over the steady stream of bullish crop accounts from Texas. These re- ports claimed that n vast amount of open cotton had been blown out of bolls and destroyed. that the plant had suffered more or less injury and that ii the direct path of the storm many fields had been washed of their crops.

MARINE EXPLOIT AFFECTS WARSTOCK
Market Broke Abruptly on News of Sinking of
 British Liner

New York August 19-Wall street re- ceived an unexpected reminder today that state of war exists across the water. The market, which had been under pres sure in the early hours. broke abruptly in the afternoon on news that a German submarine had sunk another British liner.
 United States Steel, weakest of the leaders up to midday fell over points. and other stocks of almost equal promi- hence showed losses of 1 to points. while few of the recently exploited specialtes added to points to their reverses Of the forenoon. From this level most stocks made partial recovery, only to fall to lower levels in the final hour, when the selling movement gathered greater force. The closing was heavy to weak, with only slight recovery from minimum quota tions. Even before word of Germanys $ latest marine exploit became generally known there was an absence of the re- cent buoyancy and open manipulation in the so-caled war stocks. In fact, Bethle- hem Steel common and preferred were conspicuously weak, also Westinghouse Electric, Pressed Steel Car, General Flee tric and the principal motor issues losses in this group, ranging from 3 to 10 points. New York Airbrake was the only note- worthy exception, at one time showing gain of Il points, part of which was lost later.
 In the main, railways showed under|y- ing strength, holding within a point or thereabouts, with the exception of Read ing and Canadian Pacific, which recorded wider fluctuations The days total trans actions of 1.145.000 shares exceeded any session of recent months.
 For the first time this week, foreign ex- change played little or no part as a mar ket factor. Demand sterling was a shade harder than yesterdays best and francs made further material recovery from their recent weakness. Bankers continued their credit conferences, but the plan to establish new British and French loans in this market remained in abeyance
 The Bank of England increased its gold holdings for the week by almost $7000,- GOO. while the Bank of France gained all most twice that amount of the precious metal.
 The local bond market continued to re- cede moderately on more future or foreign selling. Total sales, par value were $2,735, ,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

FRESH WEAKNESS
 IN WHEAT MARKET The Fate of the Arabic De.
 presses the Market Visibly

1 Chicago, August 19.-News of the sink | ing of the Arabic caused fresh weakness
 in the wheat market today after prices had begun to recover from a setback due to excellent reports from the harvest I in the spring crop belt, with September
 at $r0o3s and December at s1 049s. Quo-
 tations closed unsettled, ssQ1hc under last
 night Corn finished unchanged to ss@ s4c higher; oats, B@14c off to 4c up and
 provisions with gains of 21k@5c to 200 1 Bears in wheat had the advantage from
 the start. As a result for the first time this season the May option went lower than last year. selling down to s1 .os Fav- orable weather throughout Minnesota the
 Dakotas and the Canadian northwest con- tinued IS on the previous day, to act as I more than an offset for rains in the ter ritory southwest of here. As a matter of fact, today's advices pointed to a realization of one of the largest spring wheat crops ever grown in America On the ensuing decline, indications that a fair export business had developed led to little reaction, but the bulls were
 making only slow headway when word came that the Arabic was the victim of a submarine.
 Increased selling that followed the re- ceipt of bulletins telling of the fate of the Arabic depressed the wheat market yisibly, but the extent of the fall in values was not to exceed a4c on the bushel This loss was virtually wiped out be- fore trading reached an end for the day. although traces of nervousness were still evident when the final gong cleared the pit
 Corn at first sagged with wheat. Later though the market hardened owing to un- welcome cool temperatures and to pessi- mistic crop reports from the northern por- tions of the corn belt. Oats merely tagged after corn. Shipping demand was fair but by no means urgent.
 Short covering brought about decided rally in provisions after an early decline The weakness of grain and hogs seemed to have caused the bears to be trapped into selling too freely altogether. Future quotations were as follows.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. August 19. 9.-tSpecial.) )-This second Galveston storm has created a great diversity of opinion among the trade as to whether it will result in cur tailment of the crop or not. Those who hold bearlsh view of the situation (and they are in the majority), believe that with a late frost more cotton will be made as result of the rain falling from the storm than will be destroyed by the wind and the damage in the bottoms and creeks from overfows. Still, they did not have the confidence to act upon that idea, as the heavy rains in Oklahoma and Arkansas caused hesitation.
 Tomorrow rain will faM oyer the south Atlantic states. The sinking of the Are bic caused a slight decline and the mar ket finally closed unchanged from yes- terday.
 The prevailing opinion is that the south will sell it's cotton freely, press it upon the market and that 1t wil cause de- cline upon which spinners intend to buy.
