COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cotton
market was very quiet early today
Relatively steady cables were attrib-
uted to the frmer tone Of the ocean
freight market and evidently inspired
little buying here. as the uarket
opened ! point higher to points low
er. with the more active positions sell
ing 2 to points under last nights
closing figure during the first few min
utes. This decline probably reflected
overnight selling orders. but the mar
ket steadied around 1928 for October
and 1915 for December. with prices
later working up point or two on
scattered covering.
Reports of further rains in the east
ern belt seemed to be Offset by the Off
cial forecast FOR generally fair weather.
and while a number Of unfavora BILE
private crop advices seemed to be
reaching the ring. they were hardly
general enough to inspire an aggres-
sivelv bullish sentiment.

LONDON TONE IS STRONG.

LONDON. July 1.-THE sharp rise in
money in New York caused stiffening
in money and discount rates here today.

will be taken II necessary to put the
market and treasury rates higher to
maintain exchange. The opinion, how
ever is that the advance in New York
is only temporary.
The stock market has already felt
the pinch of dearer money in the gilt
edged section which was somewhat
subdued today, but the general tone
was strong with much activity in CO.

GREAT CROWD AT GAME.
Nearly 5000 Fans at Grounds When
First Of Double Header Began

1t looked like record breaking
crowd of the season for the double
header between the Washington and
the Detroit clubs. When the first game
of the double header today was started.
at , o'clock. nearly 5000 fans had
crowded through the turnstiles, and
it was expected that by the time the
first game was half under way several
thousand more would be on hand.
Manager Griffith at the last moment
shifted from Joe Boehling to Bert
Gallia for his pitcher. and Manager
Jennings depended on Dauss to fool
the local batsmen.
The hot sun this morning had dried
out the field well and both games
should be fast.

REPORTED RUST SPREAD
HAS A BULLISH EFFECT
Unfavorable Weather Conditions in
Spring Crop Region Also Counts
Against Bear Traders.

CHICAGO. July 11.-Black rust re-
ports increasing in number had a bull
ish effect today on the wheat market
here. and so, too, did unfavorable wealth
err conditions in the spring crop region.
Special significance was given to a dis
patch from a leading expert asserting
that the plague had spread to South
Dakota. as we'll as being present in
North Dakota
Opening prices. which ranged from
u off to 81 up, with July at 1851 to
1.0S12. and September at 1925 to 1.l0&.
were followed by a moderate downturn
and then decided general advance.
Corn Prices Also Rise.
Corn rose with wheat. Besides. cable
quotations were higher. After opening
1saA down to n advance, the mar
ket scored fair gains all around.
In oats the bears were handicapped
by unfavorable crop reports from
Iowa. Commission houses were. active
buyers.
Weakness in the hog market de-
pressed provisions. Little support ap-
peared until after there had been
material setback in values.

the loss.
Industrial Alcohol set the best re
covery, touching 1875 as compared with
a low of ~ for the morning.
Steel common at the low was off q ,
but recovered all but Il point loss.
The rails were comparatively steady.
but rather slow, for one branch of
the market will not often hold when
another is breaking. Losses were frac-
tiOfal.

Recoveries Continue Generally.

Recoveries continued very generally,
due very largely to covering by shorts
and the relief on the market by the
execution of pressing orders.
The street has been decidedly busy

market values and calling margins
The commission houses have been called
by banks very generally on all loans,
and especially by those secured by the
so-called war brides.
Cali money has advanced, too. and
ruled between AZ and per cent--a
point at which the stock business Of

Preparing for Collections.

undertake the collection of checks
drawn on local non-member banks,
which may be received by the regional
] bank free of charge. until officials of
the government. have been advised 10
take only checks on member banks
The Treasury regulations do not allow
the regional bank to pay for the col
lection of such checks
The cashier of one of the national
banks has replied with the suggestion
that checks on non-member banks be
sent by mail direct to the non member.
which shall make immediate return by
draft on the affiliated member bank.
This would get the checks OF the
non-member bank to it with the first
mail in the morning. two hours earlier
than when reached in the usual way.
The cashier referred to declared that
there would be no risk. as the non
member bank would simply be acting
as agent of the regional bank.
Practically all non-menaber banks
have member bank affiliations neces-
sarily to facilitate clearinss. although
there are one or two banks in the saw
ings group in this city that do not
clear daily. their CHECKS being present.

The officer referred to said: The fed

system, which will be inaugurated next
Saturday. July Is. is but an experiment.
ard the changes after it is in force
will depend entirely on the eXigencies
that arise. 1t is the first time in the
history OF the nation that collections
of checks have been undertaken at par.
