HEAVY RAINS MAKE COTTON
PRICES ADVANCE RAPIDLY
Spot Houses Buy December; Business
Small and Selling Scattered

NEW YORK, July THE cotton market
this morning responded to the heavy rains
in Alabama and Georgia, and prices at the
start were TO 6 points higher. The tone
was steady. With the exception of buying
of December by spot houses and some trade
purchases, business was without signih-
canoe. The selling was scattered.
The early advance on the rain news car
ried prices about IL to 12 points above last
nights closing figures with october con-
tracts selling at 1916, or back to the best
point of last Saturday.
No general aggressive buying developed,
however, which was probably disappoint-
ment to recent buyers on the storm news,
and there was enough realizing to cause re-
actions of to points from the best during
the middle Of the morning.
Liverpool and New orleans were moder-
ate sellers here, but southern business may
be restricted to some extent by the delayed
wire service.
The detailed weather reports, showing
very heavy rainfall in Alabama, with one
station in the central part of the State re-
porting over IL inches checked the reaction
ary tendency later in the morning and
prices worked back to nearly the high
point of the morning around midday.
Liverpool cables generally were consid-
cred higher or about l point better than
due July however, showed n gain of 8
points, whereas that option was expected
to come ~ points higher.
The receipts of cotton at the port for the
day were estimated at $1,000 bales, COM
pared with 1887 bales last week. 6751
bales last year and 40s2 bales in 1914.

BUILDING PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR REMAINDER OF YEAR
Labor Shortage and High Cost Of Ma
terials Retard Some Operations

Prospects of good business In the build
Ing trade for the remainder of the year
are reported by r. q. Dun & Co., in their
weekly Philadelphia trade review. Several
good-sized contracts have been awar1ed
recently and a large amount of new work
is being estimated on, the report asserts
The difficulty in obtaining labor and the
high prices Of materials. however. cause
tions.
On other lines of trade, the Review says,
in part:
Cotton yarn dealers report business in
very satisfactory state, although sales
have dropped of TO some extent which is
expected at this season of the year. Col
lections are reported as being a little
slow.
Clothing manufacturers state they are
experiencing some difficulty in obtaining
grades Of merchandise; there Is a good
demand and prices are high. Among the
cloak and suit and shirtwaist manufactur-
ers this Is between seasons and business is
quiet. Shirtwaist manufacturers have
done large business. Cloak and suit
manufacturers are looking for a good fall
and winter trade.
The Iron and steel market continues to
be active, especially as regards foreign
business, though domestic business Is also
fairly active. Pig iron Is fairly active, and
NiO hctcu " u
tent with actual business continuing good
Railroad buying continues active and good
contracts have been let by local roads.
I'm the coal market conditions remain
unchanged in the anthracite lines. In the
bituminous line the demand Is greater than
the ability to supply. and sales have been
restricted. Owing to the high price, con-
tract tonnage is out of the question, and
orders are taken only for spot shipments
Conditions in the lumber market are not
entirely favorable, prices being somewhat
lower than in the past and the yards ex-
periencng difficulty in getting labor.
'The sole leather market continues active
and prices are high and firm. Glazed kid
and upper leather is in demand, and good
prices prevail for all grades"

SECOND-fAN EQUIPMENT MARKET
HELPED BY DEMANDS FROM MEXICO
Very Little Doing Far New Business Is Concerned
Trading on Local Exchange Again Quiet
With Irregular Price Movements

y More activity than In some time is noted in
the equipment market for secondhand mate
rial. The Mexican Government is mainly
responsible for this condition. An order
has been taken from Mexico by the Hooking
Valley Railroad for 90 secondhand Mikado
locomotives while two other Western roads
have taken contracts for between 400 and
500 secondhand freight cars and the Del
aware, Backqawanna and Western will sup
ply from 40 to as secondhand passenger
cars to the Southern republic. The Pennsyi-
vania Equipment Company. Of this city. is
said to be inquring for six or seven stand
ard gauge consolidation engines.
There is little or nothing doing in the
regular market for equipment. The Phila-
delphia and Reading is constructing ten
switching engines In It's own shops, the
Minnesota Transfer Company has ordered
two elght-wheel switchers from the Lima
Locomotive Corporation, and the fremont
and Gulf has purchased one Mikado, type
@, from the American Locomotive Com
pany; the Wabash road is lnqulrng for 25
locomotives of the Santa Fe, Mikado and
Consolidation types. and the Chicago. Bur-
lington and Quincy Is expected to place an
order soon for number Of engines.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, July THE feature of the
foreign exchange market this morning was
the frmer tone to francs and reichsmarks,
there having been an overnight improve
ment for rates for each. Sterling was un-
changed. There was very little business
doing in the market and the strength of
rechsmarks was believed to be due purely
to supporting orders in the market. The
advance in francs was due to the announce
ment that the 800, 900 900 French loan had
been virtually completed.

AETNA EXPLOSIVES
DECLINE ON THE CURB
Motors Also Take a Drop When
Virtually All Stocks Yield
to Some Extent

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE most i'm.
portant feature on the Broad Street Curb to-
day was the sudden withdrawal of bids in
Aetna Explosives. This action was fol-
lowed by decline in the price Of that stock
from 15% TO 12A before midday Whether
there was a special reason for this action
could not be ascertained, but those con-
cerned in the trading were disposed to at.
tribute it TO the disfavor with which war
order stocks generally have come to be re-
garded.
The motor stocks were also weak, with
Chevrolet dropping to 2S6, against 244 yes
terday, and United Motors sold down from
741s to IN. Stutz was traded in during
the greater part of the day from 57A to
571s,
There was virtually no stock which did
not yield to some extent Atlantic Gulf
and West indies dropped l point, to IS, and
the preferred, which has been strong for
some time, yielded y, to 64A.
Midvale Steel sold down to SO. Zinc Con-
centrating was In fairly good demand, with
a larger inquiry than was indicated by tho
transactions during the day.

oasatona
