While there Ia no very great change In
the money market in this city now In COM
parison with recent weeks, bankers hold to
the belief that rates will stiffen a triie
this fall. No pronounced advances are ex-
pected, however The looked-for betterment
in the market is based largely on the fact
that when fall draws near more money is
usually needed for crop movements, im-
provements, extensions, etc.
Although the official call rate remains
unchanged at per cent, ii was said today
that money. on very good names, has been
loaned below this figure, some loans having
been made recently at ~ per cent, These
loans, however, have been few and the
names have been very choice. Rates on
commercial paper, say for six months range
around per cent, and some very good 90
day paper has been placed as low at az
per cent.
Commercial borrowings shew some slight
Improvement. An instance of this is the
fact that one OF the large uptown banks in

ADVANCE PRICES OF COPPER
Business Continues Undiminished and
November Metal Becomes Short

NEW YORK. Aug 25.--Leading pro-
ducers and sellers have advanced the
price of copper for delivery during No-
vember and December from 27M to 2s
cents per pound, while copper for delivery
during the hrst quarter of 1917 has been
advanced to 27h cents. Smaller dealers
have not as yet met this latest advance,
but continue to ask 27Is cents for Novem-
ber and December copper and 26% to ~
for the first quarter of next year The
volume of business continues undiminished,
the greater portion being placed with
domestic consumers although substantial
amounts are being disposed of for foreign
account.
A shortage in November metal Is rapidly
developing, some of the smaller dealers and
at least one OF the larger producers already
having disposed of their quota of this metal.
No new developments are reported In the
negotiations which are taking place between
the copper producers and j. p. Morgan &c
Co. on behalf OF the Allies.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25,-The cotton OPEN
ing this morning was one of the strongest
and most active since the present pun
movement began, and perhaps since the
start of the European war. The hrst call
occupied fully 10 minutes and prices were
up 23Q31 points.
A strong market at Liverpool furnished
the impetus for initial strength here, ana
Liverpool was the heaviest buyer on the
opening through half dozen houses un-
doing straddles.
The bullish Journal of Commerce report
on South Carolina was also factor, ana
there seemed 10 be some indication that
the tropical storm might get into the east
ern belt
Prices made new high records Tor thls
movement later in the morning, with Jahu-
airy contracts selling up to 1850, or no less
than 40 points above the closing prices OF
last night.
A midday advance carried prices about
40 to 43 points net higher, with December
contracts selling at 1856, or Ia points
above the low level reached on the reaction
of August 12. 1t was estimated that not
less than 10000 bales of long contracts
had been absorbed during the morning
but the buying movement tapered Off some-
what early in the noon hour and reactions
in New Orleans helped to unsettle sehtl-
ment around the local ring
Prices continued TO climb toward the
1911 record of 1915 during the afternoon
May was quoted at 1913, up 30 points
for the day
Some futures advanced as much as sS

PRICES IRREGULAR
ON NEW YORK CURB
Street Attaches Much Import
ance to Buying of Midvale.
Independent Oils Good

NEW YORK, Aug 25.-Price movements
and the market tone on the Broad Street
Curb were irregular, with some issues
showing strength, while others were pressed
for sale at concessions, Most Importance
was attached to buying of Midvale Steel,
which ranged from 64 to 65.
The impression prevailed that the buying
was based on knowledge of the company's
dividend policy, and 1t was thought that
recent accumulation has been by interests
aTiated with the management in anticipa-
tton of the declaration of an initial divi-
dend in September.
The Independent oil stocks were also in
good demand, with Cosden & Co. moving
up from 1914 to IA. and the bonds rose
from 1908 to 1OOA. Metropolitan Petro-
leum continued in good demand, advancing
from 14I4 to 1873.
Some of the traders offered Omar OIL
down sharply and met with little resist
ance. Statements have been in circulation
for some time that could not be regarded
as incentives for buying this stock
The mining stocks were quiet but Monitor
Silver continued in good demand, with sales
at "a to 2h. United Verde Extension was
weak, declining from 3i& to SO.
