RAPID RECOVERY
 OF COTTON PRICES
Improved Spot Demand and Weather Reports Firmed
 up the Market

New York, July 6-There was a very
 rapid recovery in the cotton market to-
 day with October contracts selling up to
 26c or 147 points above last nights close,
 or no points above the low level of yes
 terday. That delivery closed at 25.Ssc.
 with the general list closing irregular
 at net advance of 126 to 143 points.
 The market opened at decline of 2 to
 10 points under selling orders which
 seemed to come chiefly from houses with
 Liverpool connections. It was supposed
 that this pressure had been brought on by yesterdays rain news from the south
 west, but the comparatively moderate of ferings were very soon absorbed and the market rallied some g or 30 points to- ward the middle of the morning. Slight reactions followed with sentiment unset tied by reiterated reports that a sub
 marine had been sighted near Hampton Roads, but the market quickly frmed up again on reports that rainfall had been insufficient in exas and talk of im- proving spot demand. Trade interests were among the buyers on the advance, but the bulk of the demand was at tributed to covering by recent sellers and the market met very little cotton until December sold 26.2 .20c and January at 26. .32c. Realizing then became a little
 more active and the close was 10 or 15 points off from the best. The western belt forecast for generally fair and warm CT weather helped revive appre- hensions as to southwestern crop conditions, while the advance in the afternoon was stimulated by another mius correction of about 24, 900 bales in the local stock. This led to talk that cotton was going out more rap idly than it would appear from daily re- ports, and there were also rumors of an improved spot demand, both for cotton here and in the south.
 Liverpool weekly figures showing a fur ther sharp loss of stock also contributed to the advance, but local brokers though the market chiefly influenced by scarcity Of contracts after recent heavy liquida- tion and an effort to cover for over the week end.

TRADING IRREGULAR ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Excess Profits and War Taxes Are Factors in
 Restraining Interest

New York, July 6.-The short interest which seems to have reached formidable proportions indulged in further deter mined efforts to depress quoted values today. For time heavy offerings of important stocks forced the list to low est levels of the present movement, the decline being aided by greater weakness in speculative issues long under critical observation. Prices rebounded generally in the greatly reduced dealings of the last half the session. many leaders finish ing at ct gains. In the main, however, the outco. was without significance be- cause of the markets ultraprofessional character
 Various factors, particularly those deal ing with the question of excess profits and war taxes, again tended to restrain public interest. Labor problems and the undefined attitude of the administration towards general industries also served to check constructive operation. Auto mobile stocks furnished more than their usual quota to the days moderate turn over, the status of that industary, &C., cording to trade authorities, finding re- flection in the heaviness of the better known issues notably General Motors.

 Rails pursued narrow but steady course, responding to such support as developed at irregular intervals. Metals were steady despite the expansion of la bor troubles. but shippings were back ward or heavy intimations of an early regulation of American vessels by the federal authorities but rallied on the general upward tendency which marked the close.
 Additional gold imports of s6,50o,o0o were again partially neutralized by ex- ports of about B, 10000 to Spain and South America. Sterling was strong and francs rallied from yesterdays heavi- ness.

WAR CONDITIONS
 REPRESS TRADING
Bradstreet's Review States Business Developments Are in the Main
 Favorable

New York, July s.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 A shifting of readjusting process born of war conditions tends to repress opera tions in some channels, while at the same time stimulating wide range of war lines to greater animation Yet what might be termed regular distributive busi- ness is large, and though it is conceded that there is not the snap to buying that was so remarkable six months ago. faith in the future of trade is only tenn pered by concern over governmental regu- lations of prices or by present uncer- tainty as to the full effects of readjust- ments now making. How far these re- adjustments will go and what lines will be most repressed while extension grows in the industries that are essential to warfare is the leading question. How ever, the main developments of the week are favorable, notwithstanding that the lines evince seasonal quiet. Weekly bank cl ca rings S5 O50 383, GOO.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. July s.-withdrawal of Euro pean and domestic cash buyers forced a setback in the corn market today after new high price records had been touched, despite action of the board of trade di- rectors stopping all new business in the July delivery. The market closed weak at the same as yesterdays finish to 1}se lower. with September s1.541k to s1.547s and December at s1.1t1ta1 .149s. Wheat wound up unsettled with gains of 21zc to Sc at $2.12 for July and $1 s2 for septem- Der. Oats lost 1ssc to 21sc net and provi- sions 5c to l5c.
 differences that an extreme shortage of corn existed drove traders at first into a buying stampede for nearly an hour and sent values climbing rapidly The
 prohibition of July dealings had been in-
 tended as a measure to avert any fur
 ther continuance of the high price record smashing that began last Saturday. In-
 stead of curbing bullish excitement, how ever, the exact contrary result was brought about. It was not until word
 was passed that exporters in general and
 the chief American industrial consumer as well had quit buying that the furry ~S~AN " ONSANOAAtC. %a5Bi oSSlNC DtdI piSS-

 which had been made early were lost, with considerable more besides Reports

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. July 6.-(Special.) )-At the opening there was some further realizing by outside holders which was absorbed by the local traders who felt the liqui- dation on the better weather condi- tions was about over and as the lead ing longs had not disposed of their in terests before the bureau report that they would furnish support. This brought about a slow advance, which finally re- suited in sharp buying by all street houses at the high prices. Weather condi- tions continue favorable throughout the cotton belt. A rumor was current that the Senate would strike out the amend ment relating to cotton and cotton prod ucts, another that the floating stock in New York would be reduced some 2000O bales by unreported exports.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 6.-After. a ses- sion of quiet trading on this market today, cotton bulged violently toward the close to a level 150 to 153 points over yesterdays final figures on Q wave of buying which started on short covering and was further in creased by the plus correction of 25,- PA in the export movement out of New York and by a marked improve ment in the spot demand in this mar ket. Buyers found next to nothing for sale and prices mounted swiftly in the last half hour of the day. The close showed a net gain of 126 to 155 points.
 On the opening prices were 2 to 1a points off under scattered showers over the belt. but the decline lasted only a few minutes good de- mand sprang up, chiefly from short sellers of earlier in the week. In the first half hour of trading the market rose to a net advance of about 25 points,; by noon the strongest months were about 40 points up and half an hour before the close they were about so up. From then on the price ad- vanced in leaps and bounds, with sometimes 20 points between sales, so narrow was the market. The technical explanation for this state of affairs handed around the floor, was that shorts in the trading of the week. which has been marked by wide de- clines, had sold themselves into a hole.
