SHARP ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Apprehension of UnfavOr- able Weather Responsible.
 Market Closes Steady

New York, July 14-Apprehensions of unfavorable weather caused a rather sharp advance in the cotton market early today, but after selling at 1S.o4c, October contracts eased off to 12.95c and closed at 12.s7c. The general list closed steady at a net advance of to [ points, The market opened steady at an advance of to 10 points. Early weather advices re- ported little change in the location of the Caribbean storm, but it was increasing in intensity, while another storm of con siderable violence was reported off the South Atlantic coast. This was said to be extending its influence over Geor- gia and the Carolinas and apprehensions that it might cause heavy rains in east ern belt sections seemed to inspire con- siderable covering. At any rate, active months sold about 10 to 13 points net higher before the end of the morning, with December advancing to 1320c and January to 13.25c. Aside from covering there did not appear to be a great deal of demand around the ring, however, and the market eased off during the early afternoon uner realizing for over the weekend. The failure of the storm threat and the continued steadiness of southern spot markets to promote more general support seemed to be largely re- sronsible for reactionary sentiment, but after easing off to 13,12c for December and 13.17c for January. prices held pretty steady in the late trading. Reports of an easier turn in oceaon freight rates for prompt shipment may possibly have helped the early advance, as such an advance might stimulate the immediate demand from exporters, but the Liverpool market was relatively steady, and houses with Liverpool connections seemed to have comparatively few orders around the local ring. New Orleans was seller here on the early advance, but confusion over weather and crop condi- tions seemed to be checking general business. According to a private crop re- port issued at midday, the average con- dition to July was 803 per cent. against 791 per cent on June 2, indicating an improvement of 12 per cent for the pe- riod. Some such showing has been ex- pected, however. and the figures had little immediate effect.

WEEKLY REV|EWOF
 COTTON MARKET

New York. July 1.-The cotton mar ket has been comparatively quiet dur ing the past week with the price move ment irregular October contracts, for instance, have ruled between 12.98c and 13.17c, closing tonight at 12.97. compared with 12.S5c, the low point touched on the break at the beginning of the month and 13.47c, the high price reached on the bull movement toward the end of June Un- settled weather conditions and conflict ing crop accounts have probably &C., counted for more or less confusion of sentiment, while little or no change has been reported in the spot situation and local brokers have attributed the absence of general business to a disposition to wait for a nearer view of crop results, or for some change in the attitude of southern holders. The weekly report of the weather bureau suggested that the recent gulf storm has caused considerable damage in eastern and central sections. while many private advices have reached here from the south emphasizing the in- creased activity of boil weevil.
 Except for the tropical storm, however weather conditions have been considered generally favorable and the failure of storm damage reports to stimulate an ag- gressive buying movement has figured largely in bearish or reactionary aPgu- ments around the ring. In some quar- ters. indeed, the decline from recent high level has been considered an indica- ton that prices were too high to at tract general buying for long account with the nearer approach of the new crop movement and local bears have sug- gested that some scattered southern selis ing here represented hedging against prospective crops. Al no time, however, has the pressure from southern sources been particularly active. while southern spot markets have ben relatively steady and notwithstanding the rather bearish average of the talk around the ring here, selling has been restricted by the absence of spot pressure, and uncertainty as to the actual progress of the crop.
