REACTION FOLLOWS EARLY ADVANCES.
Cotton Market Closed Bare ly Steady With Slight
 Advance

New York, July 31.-A further advance met scattered realizing in the cotton market today and reactions followed with December selling off from 24.0Sc to 7Sc, closing at the lowest. The general list closed barely steady at an advance of 20 points on August, but generally ? points higher to points net lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of F to b points on a renewal of yesterdays buying movement. The dis position to cover short contracts before the publication of the governments crop report tomorrow seemed to be increased by the dry weather in the southeast, continued talk of peace prospects and a private report indicating rather a smaller improvement in the condition of the crop than expected. There was also some trade buying and a scattering de- mand which helped to carry October contracts up to 24.32c and January to 24c, or about N to 33 points net higher, and some 58 to 6S points above the low level of yesterday morning. Covering then became less active, however, and the market was easier during the after noon with October selling off to 24c and January to 23.70c in the late trading August was very quiet, but relatively steady during the entire day, owing to the continued absence of spot pressure.
 A canvass of cotton exchange members indicated an average expectation that the government report tomorrow will show a condition of about 733, compar- ing with 70.3 last month. Exports for the day were 15,781 making 5,437,061 so far this season. Port receipts, 10.619 United States port stocks, 5SS,775.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 31.-A tendency to remain steady at small advance was displayed by cotton here today, until within a few minutes of the close when the market fell off under a furry or liquidation and went down to practical ly the level of yesterdays close Last prices showed net gains of 1 to 5 points.
 In the early trading an advance of 27 to 30 points was established, chiefly through the covering operations of shorts, who wanted to even up over to-
 morrow's tIreau report on condition and found little cotton for sale. In the early afternoon there was another pe- riod of firmness on peace talk and prices were lifted to about the highest levels again. following a recession around noon due to profit taking on the part of early buyers.
 The covering by shorts was due to the belief conveyed by private condition re- ports that the trade had been looking for too high condition figures. The weather map again reflected drouth in
 Texas and the forecast offered little hope that it would be relieved in tba near future. Unfavorable weather news
 however, was offset to great extent by the report of another new bale in Georgia and returns showing cotton at many points in Texas.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, July 3l.-In last-of-the- month squeeze today, shorts had to bid July wheat up 12c busheI and July oats up 11Ac. An even more acute pinch in settling July corn contracts was averted by recent actich of the board of trade directors whereby all fresh deal- ings in the July delivery were forbid den. Corn closed nervous. 1ssc off to 1zc up, with September S1.645s and De- cember $1.171gQ1.175s. Wheat finished un- settied, varying from 7c decline to 12c advance at ETA for July and 2.17 for September. The outcome in oats ranged from 114c setback to gain of 6Ac net. Provisions showed rise of l2c to 37c ex- cept July pork, which lost 20.
 Aside from the flurries which attended the wind-up of July contracts in wheat and oats, and in which relatively few traders were directly concerned, the main interest today on exchange centered in free seeling of new crop deliveries of corn. This selling came chiefly from few big commission houses avowedly bearish Besides, forecasts pointed to cooler weather with showers, and there were hopes by sellers that the rain and lower temperature might extend to the southwest. On the other hand, demand for corn, for immediate use, especially by distillers, remained so urgent that cash corn and the September option rose to new high price records, No. yellow touching 2.33c, about quadruple ordinary values before the war.
 Tightness in the July wheat option did not become especially notable until the last 15 minutes of the session. It was in that interval gains were scored which outdid the total advance made in all the rest of the day put together. Mean while the September delivery of wheat had continuous downward bent owing to rains in the northwest auguring well for the improvement of the spring crop. A jump to the unprecedented price of zoe a bushel was forced in the July delivery of oats before the wants of shorts were satisfied. Then the market suddenly broke to S2c, but again shot up to S5c just at the close.
 Active call for lard lifted the provision market quite sharply as whole. Cash trade was more promising and buyers were encouraged because of an upturn i'll the value of cotton seed oil.
 Future quotations were as follows:

Reasonable Supposition

From the MaCOn TeIegraph.
 The farmer alleged a freight train of the defendant company had hit one of his mules.
 Now, MT. Jones' said the attorney for the corporation to the aggrieved party who occupied the witness stand. Twill you kindly tell the court whether or not your mule was on the track, the property of the defendant, when hit by the train?'
 ''Well, sir,'' replied MT. Jones, II didn't witness the occurrence but I suppose things must have been about as you say This was a pretty bright mule and l reckon if that train had took out after him in the woods which fringe the track there where he was killed he would have got behind a tree"

STOCK MARKED ON
 UPWARD TREND Steels and War Issues Score Gains on Active
 Dealings

New York, July 31-Probably in anticipa- tion of favorable report by the United States Steel corpora tion for the second quarter, but more likely because of technical conditions, today's early stock market moved steadily upward Exten- slve selling in the last hour more than opllterated some of these gains, the list closing with an irregular tone.
 Steeis and most of the war and semi war issues rose to almost points in the forenoon and motors, in which a large short interest is said to exist, scored gross gains of 1 to 3b points on active dealings.
 Coppers, sugars and tobaccos and leath- CTS shared unevenly in the temporary rise, varying from 1 to points. Rails We're more prominent than usual, being helped to higher levels by the decision of the interstate commerce commission allowing higher rates for coal and coke In western and southern sections. but the late selling also affected that di- vision
 The steel statement, which did not is sue until after the close of the session, disclosed total earnings of $9O 2O4, aft CT deducting almost $54 000,0 ,000 for war in come and excess profits taxes. Steels high quotation of the day was 125N, it's lowest and last 123A, net loss of 1A points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 31-The market was advanced further today on rumors of the near approach of peace drawn from the newspapers of the morning, and an idea that the rains in Texas last week were insufficient. Rain fell at Ballenger in western Texas A of an inch just where needed Southern Texas around San Antonio would welcome more rain, but central, eastern and northern Texas are in fine condition and do not require rain. The October position was again used as the lever, as the interest in that position is gradually becoming smaller. Transac- tions are all on limited scale. preced- ing the bureau report. which will be published tomorrow. In the last 15 min- utes the market turned easy under some southern and Liverpool hedge selling against purchases of spots so the ad- vance of the day was lost.
