COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK, July 28.-New high rec
ords for the present bull movement
were made in the cotton market today
under the influence of active buying by
spot houses and a good demand from
local shorts. The opening was steady
at an advance Of z to points, and
this was followed by further upturns
to 1890 for October and 1853 for jan
uary, a net advance of four points. Re-
ports to a local trade paper showed de-
cIines in condition Of to 10 points in
Carolinas and Georgia. making an aver
age Of about Z points loss in the east
ern belt. according to this authority
Although clearing weather in the
east seemed indicated by the official
forecast, there was little pressure and
toward the end of the first half hour
the market was very steady within a
point or two Of the top.
Futures opened steady; October. 1928;
December. 1346: January. 1883; March,
1855: May, 1880.
Subsequent selling developed on the
idea that a disturbance in the gulf
might bring rains in Texas. where they
are badly needed. and prices reacted
about to points from the early
high levels. with october selling at
1881 and January at 1884. Two con-
dftion reports were issued by commits
sion houses. one showing 1853 and the
other 754.

Later the wheat market underwent
a material sag owing to assertions by
a prominent expert that crop losses in

Predict Larger Earnings.
1t is generally predicted on Wall
street that the net earnings of the
United States Steel Corporation will
be greater for the second half of the
year>than for the first six months.
The third quarter, July. August and
September, it is believed. will be the
tton. estimates going as high as $780,
100000 or nearly $10,000,000 greater
than for the second quarter of the cal
endar year.
Ine 1ourth quarter is expected to
produce net results under the second
quarters result, estimates for the en-
tire year being placed at $312940,
This would mean about $45 a share on
the common stock. The United States
Steel Corporation has not taken any
war orders; the great plants have pro-
duced no shells. bu. 1t has fabricated
much steel that has subsequently
found its way into shells, etc
That the enormous earnings have
been very largely the direct result of
the war. Is admitted. and that they will
drop of with the end of the struggle
Is also evident.
