COTTON PRICES
 SHOW WEAKNESS
Market Closed Steady at Net Decline of 30 to 5
 Points

New York, July 19.--No doubt exist ing today about the breaking or the southwest drought, especially in Texas and Oklahoma. and the cotton market in consequence displayed consideraple weakness with prices at one time ol to 56 points net lower. october sell ing down to 24S4c and December to 2464c with the close steady at a net decline of 30 to 55 points. Over Okla homa there were soaking rains while the reports from Texas indicated that even in the drought sections in the south and east sufficient rain fell to at least temporarily relieve the situa- tion and greatly improve crop pros poets. An impression that these con ditions would be reflected in the com ing government report bod much 10 do with the bearish sentiment which prevailed throughout the day
 The market opened steady with Sep tember 10 points higher and other po- sitions to 14 points lower Moder- ate liquidation in July was caused by the appearance of further notices and belief that before the end of the month considerable more cotton would be delivered on contract as the staple is arriving here quite rapidly and be- ing inspected as fast as possible. For eign political news was still regarded as rather unfavorable although not much of a factor in view of the iIu- portance attached to southwestern crop news.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 19.-Extremely heavy selling developed in future cotton here today, sending the price down $3.5O a bale, while, on the other hand spots were in strong demand and were marked up g points to 2575c for middling and f. o. b. cotton was said to be trading at the highest basis ever known in this market. Total transactions in the spot demand were 4oS5 bales. Notwithstand- ing this the contract market closed weak at the lowest of the session, a net loss of 50 to 70 points,
 The future offerings were stimulated mainly by the continued rains in Texas Oklahoma and portions of the eastern belt. Telegrams and letters from sec tions of the belt which recently have been visited by rain were extremely favorable in their comment on the crop claiming marked improvement in the condition and a complete change in the outlook, compared to that of a fort night ago when the lowest condition re- port on record was issued by the govern ment.
 The Russian situation was against the market to some extent and more or less anxiety was manifested over the utter ances expected from the new German chancellor. It was mainly weather market, however.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, July 19.-Anxiety of the near approach of the last delivery day on July contracts and in regard to the scarcity of supplies with which obligations of sellers could be full filled brought about notable upturns today in prices for wheat. corn and oats. Wheat closed firm at a net ad- vance of 4@14c; corn finished un- changed to 1Ac higher and oals gained % @1%c. In provisions the out come varied from unchanged figures to 17c decline.
 Assertions that owing to excessively dry weather North Dakota would not yield more than half a crop this sea- son did good deal to worry shorts in the wheat market.
 Corn prices ran up to new high rec ords both for immediate and future deliveries. The September options reached to within 2Ac of the maximum limit allowed under the Board of Trade war emergency rules. Scantiness of ar rivals and of rural offers were tho dominating factors.
 Unfavorable crop reports from Can ada and North Dakota did much to hoist the value of oats. Liquidatng sales by holders of lard weakened provisions. On the break, however, packers came to the support of the market.
 Future quotations were as follows:

SHEFFIELD

Sheffield, July 1s.-(special) )-Warren come general manager and dirGtor of the furnace properties and mines of the Sheffield Coal and Iron company in this section, will come here and assume his new position August 1. From all ac- counts MT. Kluttz is to fill a big place in local industrial movements. James Gayley, president of the company, for nally announced some days since that operation of the local plants would be- gin at the earliest date possible. and in addition $l,000000 would be expended for the building of by-product coke oven plants adjacent to the furnaces. During the next few days these things are ex- pected to be started and rushed through to completion. Already these announce ments have had the effect of arousing widespread interest in this section.
 Arrangements are being made for the assembling of labor, which will be neces- sary to hasten the operation of the works. Quite an army of laborers will be required to carry on this huge under taking, and great part of the labor to be used will be brought here from other fields, both skilled and unskilled labor being required.
 As a result in part of the activities of the Sheffield Coal and Iron company, 1t is certain that numerous other develop ments will take place here. The opera tions of other local industries will be ex- tended. The influx of newcomers to Sheffield will have the effect of ex- tending business of all kinds. Unusual business attractions will follow. Indeed Sheffield will be alive with industrial activity as never before in her history all of which will but serve to make it one of the best towns in the state.
 These splendid industrial Improvements and the bumper crops, which now seem certain throughout this section, mean a period of gerat prosperity undoubtedly of extended duration. The country busi- ness that comes to Sheffield is larger than ever before and growing all the time. largely as a result of the co-opera- ton between the farmers and the busi- ness concerns of the city. Sheffield is ready market for. all farm products, which serves to bring the farmers to town not only to dispose of their pro- duce. but to do their trading.
 All things considered. the outlook is highly promising for the future of this city.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 1s.-Good rains fell in Oklahoma; scattered showers are again reported from Texas, which appear to be slowly covering the state, as it is re- ported as raining now in Houston, but more would be beneficial in southern Texas. Rains have also fallen in the Piedmont section of the Atlantics, where needed, so that the entire cotton belt has been receiving moisture in the third week of July at time to prove of great ben eft to the growing crop. A slow decline has carried the market down on these rains some 50 points and while the bear ish> feeling is increasing, based on the reports from the southwest and the goods market, no heavy selling of any importance for either account has ap- peared. The market has been under the influence of the bullish traders for so long that sales under these bearish fac tors are made with great tinidity.
