INCREASED RAILROAD RATES

New York city will open bids next week for new AZ per cent bonds. Un- der normal conditions, the bonds of this city are rated as one of the three best investments In the whole world. Early this year the outstanding 4k per cent bonds of the city of New York were selling at a price where the income re- turn was less than 4 per cent. Those bonds because of the world wide war competition in the money market, have only recently sold down to 4ls per cent basis.
 Our railroads. as the majority rate de- cisions point out, are making more money today than ever before, and are likelv to earn still more. But if they are not able to compete in the money markets with this and other govern ments at war, what are they going to do? They are going to increase terni- nal, track and equipment facilities, but they are going to do so without raising any great amount of new funds.
 In brief the railroads today are in- creasiue their facilities at a wonderful rate by elimination of useless train service and other unhealthy competition; by cooperation in handling empty and loaded freight cars; by coordination of terminals; by betSer loading of freight; by modernizing old locomotives. During the past 15 years the railroads of the country nave been practically repullt at an enormous cost to take care of larger locomotives and freight cars and today those same big freight cars are being hauled around the country one-third or one-haif elnpty. From now on these cars are going to be better loaded and the amount of mileage covered each day by each freight car is going to be in- creased.
 In brief with the cooperation of the r1a7t in daye1opipv rating effi- ciency, the railroads are going to make more money this year than they have ever made before by getting something which cannot be purchased in the open market except at prohibited prices; that is the equivalent of larger terminals, more tracks more cars, and more lo- coinotives.

REACTION FOLLOWS
 SHARP ADVANCE
Cotton Market Nervous and Irregular, But the Close
 Was Steady

New York, July 7.-Yesterday's big ad
 vance was followed by very nervous and
 irregular fluctuations in the cotton mar ket today Realizing at times was rather
 active, but after selling off to 25.72c or IS
 points net lower and about 34 points from
 the early high level. october steadied on covering with that delivery closing at 25. SIC. The general list closed steady, net z points higher to 8 points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 25 points to a decline of points,
 with the near months relatively steady.
 July contracts sold at 26.60c, on the call,
 and right after the opening October
 touched 26.06c, making net gains of 21 to
 25 points These months seemed to be
 influenced by the minus correction re-
 ported in the local stock yesterday and
 the reports of a better spot demand, while
 later deliveries were held back by the more favorable average of weekly crop reviews. December sold up to 26.21c and January to 6.25c shortly after the call in sympathy with the near months advance, but after showing this net gain of about ' to 10 points, the market turned easy on all positions as 8 result of realizing for over the week -end. Business was re- stricted by uncertainty as to just what the German chancellor might have to say on the subject of peace and by continued nervousness over reports of price control legislation. with the market responsive to co omparatively small orders. After the decline to 25.S4c for December and 25. .e5c for January, however, the market stead jed on reports of very high temperatures 
 In Texas and Oklahoma, and there were rallies of several points from the lowest The forecast was for generally clear weather in the southwest over Sunday and the more optimistic view of crop prospects, was modified by renewed drouth complaints from some parts of Texas Cables received here from Liverpool re- port very poor prospects for the Russian crop. owing to reduced acreage and un- ] favorable weather

New Orleans Cnttnn

New Orleans, July 7-Nervous and ir- regular fluctuations resulted from the trading in cotton here today. Around the opening there was continuation of the spectacular buying wave of yesterday, but the improvement in values which came from it was met by weekend sell ing and a decline. Toward the end the improvement of cent a pound in spot values gave contracts a better tone and last prices were one point higher to five points lower than yesterdays close. Just before the close a hurricane warning was posted, the first of the season, and it helped the market somewhat.
 In the early trading prices rose 26 to 32 points. From this level there was a fall to a net decline of 12 to 15 points. Only moderate business was done and 1t was almost wholly in October and December. July seemed liquidated and traders avoided the farApositions.
 The weather map furnished little in- spiration for either side. Rains in the eastern belt were generally considered beneficial, although bullish traders point ed out that they would increase the &C., tivties of the boil weevil. The con tinued drouthy conditions in the western belt were generally considered unfavor- able. The forecast predicted little change in conditions over Sunday.

IMPROVE
 ON STOCK MARKET
Bank Statements Show Gains and Fiscal Year
 Starts Auspiciously

New York, July 1.-The most inter esting development of the day-pub 1ication of the weekly bank statement showing an actual expansion of al- most s174,o00,oO0 in reserves-did not materialize until after the end of dull and meaningless session on the stock exchange.
 The gain in reserves was the larg- est for any one week since the new national banking laws became oper- fative and probably is without prece- &dent in the history of the local clear Ting house. It reflects to an extraordi- nary degree the enormous shifting or moneys incidental to~ the new fiscal year and is in part an aftermath or last weeks payment of $360,OO0,OO0 Into the liberty loan.
 Combined demand and time deposits Increased by about $190, 100000 and the continued absorption of gold imports by the local federal reserve bank was accompanied by an increase in reserves of that institution amounting to al- most s88,o00,000.
 Total actual excess of reserves now held by the clearing house aggregates $27S,453,990 against barely $42,000, 0,000 two weeks ago. In effect, New York 1HSClIuLlOnB begin the new IlSCal year under highly suspicious conditions.
 The stock market was of the usual weekend character, prices improving for the most part on covering of short contracts Rails were in far better demand, exceptional strength being manifested by Reading, St. Paul, New York Central and the Pacifics.
 Motors. coppers. equipments and oils ranged l to 5 points higher after tenn porary trregularity in General Motors and Disti1lers' Securities. United States Steel was firm most of the short ses- sion, but eased off with allied shares at the close. Movements elsewhere in &the list were perfunctory. Total sales $amounted to 220.oo0 shares. Advices in- Sdicating domestic trade readjustments #and additional gold exports amounting No about $3.6oo,ooo was included in the Ways news items. Bonds were irregular Ion narrow fluctuations. Liberty SM ranged from 100 1-50 to 100 2-5o. To- tal sales of bonds, par value, aggre- gated $1,s7o.ooo.
 United States old issues were lower by fractions to a point on call during the week.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. July 7.-Corn prices burst all restraint today and reached the highest level yet after more than a week of continued overlapping of pre- vious records. Unseasonably cool weather and virtual exhaustion of the stock of corn here had much to do with bringing about the fresh advance. Quotations closed nervous, & to Ss4c up, with September at S1.56A @1.561s and December at s1.1sB @1.1sA- Wheat finished unsettled at 5c decline to gain of Pc. July s1.07 and September SEA. Oats were unchanged to %c higher and provisions varying from 1oc down to rise of 2hc.
 Active buying on the part of com mission houses swept the corn mar ket upward from the outset, much 10 the surprise of some lenders who had figured that selling pressure which was in evidence late yesterday would be continued this morning. Instead, new offerings proved to be decidedly scarce, especially corn available for immediate consumption or quick ship ment. Number yellow on the sample tables easily visible from the specu- lative pit commanded s1.S6 a bushel as against $1.83A yesterday and there was little to be had even at the un- precedented latest value. Throughout the day an important bearish reac- tion was prevented by comprehensive field advices, indicating that the aw crop was two weeks late and that q long succession of cool nights had become source of increasing anxiety to growers.
 Interest in the wheat trade seemed to be confined to guesses regarding what would be shown by the govern ment crop report on Monday. It was not expected, however, that the re- port will be of a nature to disturb much, if at all, the anchorage which quotations have been Subjected to by prospective tightening of federal con- trol.
 Oats made a moderate response to the strength shown by corn. The gen. eral bright outlook for the oats crop seemed to be too much of a handicap for the bulls, and it was said export buying has been curtailed.
 Provisions gave way with hogs. The 1 corn bulge resulted in merely a slight transient upturn for lard and ribs. Future quotations were as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. July 7.-(Special.) )--The mar ket ruled quieter and somewhat lower after the violent fluctuations of yesterday afternoon, which was ascribed to a nat ural reaction followed by orders to buy few minutes before the close coming in- to competition. Judging from the weather map, the feeling was that the crop Is do- ing we'll, but in view of the small for ward sales from the south by farmers, factors the demand from spinners gives the market constant support. Outside holders were the principal sellers today with some of the local traders buying over Sunday. The feeling as whole was rather for lower prices. as result of crop improvement. though there were few sellers.

Reserve Board Statement

Washington, July 7.-Heavy liquidation of short-term paper, discounted in con nection with liberty loan operations, reduction of more than $157 7000, 900 in gov ernment deposits and a gain of about $7s- 100000 in reserve deposits, are indicated in the federal reserve boards statement issud today as at the close of business July 6.

TRADING QUIET
 IN COTTON GOODS

New York, July 7-Tradng in cotton goods was ouieter during the week in consequence of the observance of the holiday and the easing tone in raw cot ton. The discussion of government con- trol of cotton has also been factor in making for conservatism In the purchases of cloths, except where government buy ing Is going on. There the trade has been as steady as mills can meet require ments. The jobbers are now coming to the market to look over advance spring lines and to place further business for fall.
 Spring underwear lines were opened this week at price advances ranging from 60 to 75 per cent over the prices current a year ago, and new lines of spring wash goods are being shown in samples. Do- mestic cotton goods rule very firm. Gray cloths for printing and converting showed a slight easing in price on sales between second hands, but very trifling lots were disposed of.
 Prints and percales rule very firm, the demand for export being steady. Bleached cottons are unchanged in tone. some ad- ditional new high prices having been an- nouncved. Ginghams of all kinds are very firm with the demand good.
 Prices quoted at the weekend were as follows; Print cloths. 2S-inch, 64x64s, 7s4c; 64x6Vs, 7ikc: 3s1k-inch, 64xsfss lie; brown sheetings, southern standards, l6c; denins, 220s indigo, 271ac; tickings, 8 oz, 35c; prints, 10c: staple ginghams. 13c; dress ginghams, 15lac.
