SENSATIONAL RISE
OF COTTON PRICES
Trading Was Comparative
ly Quiet and Reactions
Follow

New York, August 1.-The govern
sensational advance of about S1.75 per
bale in the cotton market today. De-
cember contracts sold up from 1880
to 1850 within 10 or Is minutes after
the publication of. the bullish crop fig
ures, making a net high record for
that delivery and an advance of 26
points from last nights closing fig
ures. The market met a good deal
of opposition at this level however,
and reactions followed with Decem-
Der closing at 1880, while the general
list closed easy at net advance of
only 10 to IL points.
Trading was comparatively quiet with
prices showing a tendency to work off
before the report was published. Liv-
erpool was relatively easy, while wealth
err conditions in the south were con-
sidered more favorable and there vas
evidently a feeling around the local
ring that quite a bullish showing from
Washington had been discounted. Aft
er opening at net decline of to
IL points, the market quickly rallied
to about last nights closing figures
on covering, but soon turned easier.
and showed a net loss of about 10 to
IL points just before IL o'clock, with
October selling at 13.10c and January
at 1334c. A canvass made around the
floor indicated that the trade was ex-
pecting a condition of about 76.5 per
cent, and the report of 1928, comparing
with S1.1 last month, was considered
one of the greatest surprises of the
season. There was an immediate rush
of covering and fresh buying, which
sent October up to 13.45c and jan
uary to 1850 or about 80 to 81 points
above the low level of the morning,
while the first sale of July, 1917, deliv-
cry was made at lac. At this advance
of 10 to 26 points from yesterdays
last quotations there was heavy selling
which appeared to be for both accounts
and the market was unsettled during
the afternoon with prices easing Off
some 10 or IA points from the best.
The official condition figures were the
lowest for 25 years, with the exception
of 1909, and indicated the extraordi-
nary deterioration of S.S per cent for
the month.

GENERAL RECOVERY
OF STOCK MARKET
of Leading Rail-
road Earnings Stimulate
Speculation

New York, August 1.-Stocks made sub
stantial and rather general recoveries to-
day from their lethargy of recent ses-
sions under lead of investment issues,
notably Union Pacific and United States
Steel. The former made an extreme gain
of 2h points to 1891 on very large deal
ings and steel was In demand toward the
close at 81, with individual transactions
of 1000 to $4,000 shares.
The excellent statements of earnings for
June reported by leading lines, particu-
larry the Pennsylvania system, was eff
fective in stimulating speculative con-
fidence. Other favorable factors in
cluded the decision to place Maxwell
common and second preferred shares on
dividend basis and the declaration of a
fixed rate of dividend on Studebaker.
Crop news was more reassuring, al
though further advices from the north
west leave little doubt of serious impair
fnent to corn and wheat. This, however,
found only little reflection in grangers,
ST. Paul and Chicago and Northwestern
being firm to strong Shares of eastern
roads, including coalers and New Haven,
were in better demand than recently.
The only conspicuous exception in this
group was Rock Island, which weakened
In the final dealings. Missouri Pacific
also manifested pressure.
Zinc stocks were in steady demand on
the improvement shown by foreign mar
kets but coppers were dull and without
material change. Total sales amounted
to $4,000 sahres
Pennsylvania eastern lines reported an
Increase in operating income for June of
Fl,2l4,0O0, with a gain of $637,OOO on lines
west of Pittsburg. Chicago and North
western increased $4SO,0O0.
Remittance rates to Europe was vir-
tually unaltered, but better inquiry
was reported for sterling bills and cables
to Berlin.
Bonds were irregular, with less activity
n Anglo-French and the new French
notes. Total sales, par value, amounted
to $2,S70,0OO.
United States bonds were unchanged on

Coffee Market

New York. August 1.-The market for
coffe futures was very quiet today, but
there was a talk of somewhat easier
tone in the cost and freight situation,
and after opening unchanged, the mar
ket sold off during the afternoon, the
closing showing a net loss of to points.
September contracts sold at S.45c early,
but declined to S.40c, while December
worked off from S.5Sc to S.53c. and March
from 77Sc to she, with last prices at the
lowest point of the day; sales were re-
ported of only $3.50 bags; August, s.s5c;

pected. Feeble early rallies occurred
from time to time. but directly before
the issuance of the government report the
market was at it's lowest. The figures of
72.3 were exceptionally bullish, and a
quick rally of from 80 to So points fol-
lowed. Liquidation and short selling in
the closing hour caused a reaction Of
about IA points from the high of the day.
The condition figures and eastern belt
outlook to our minds forecast crop be-
low that of last year, and materially
less than worlds requirements We con-
sequently advise against hedge or short
selling and advocate the purchase of
January and March futures as well as the
holding of spots. The price seems high,
but we believe will look very cheap
shortly.
Next to cotton we think cotton seed oil
is the cheapest of all commodities. We
believe last years bull movement in oil
will be repeated and very likely on a very
much broader scale. The world, and par
ticularly Europe, will want, in our opin-
ion, more oil than can be produced. We
favor buying and holding for big up
turn.

prices advancing some 80 points above
