HEAVY DECLINE ON
COTTON MARKET
Prices Yield to Bearish Crop
News and the Market
Closed at Loss

New York, July 27.-The cotton market
showed the effects of bearish crop news
today and under steady pressure
throughout the session. closed irregular
and 40 to "a points net lower, having
at one time been e. to 70 points lower
on active positions. Marked improve
ment in crop accounts from the east
ern belt gave the impression that re-
cent bullish news from there had been
exaggerated and that the frequent
showers did not prevent cultivation or
seriously check growth. Although lit
tie later the crop in the eastern belt
was said to be making excellent prog
ress, and several private condition re-
ports issued during the day showed ad-
vances Of 4 to points over last month
and strengthened bear claims to the ek-
feet that the government report next
week will probably show a marked inn
provement over last month when 1t was
70.3. There was also favorable news in
from Texas and the southwest gener-
ally which added to the bearish senti-
ment that prevailed here throughout the
day, Trade buying of october which
lately has exerted a bullish effect or
the market was almost entirely absent
today and prices declined easily under
the weight or selling pressure. Both
Liverpool and the south sold early in
the day, the former being credited I'd
hedges against spot purchases in the
south. New crop cotton was reported
to be already moving in a small way in
the southwest, but the movement will
not become general in Texas for several
weeks yet. The freight situation is still
unsatisfactory, and it was said that en-
bargoes on gulf shipments to New York
were still being enforced by steamship
lines.

STOCK MARKET DULL
AND RESTRICTED
Broad Trading Marks Clos
ing Hour of Market With
Small Gains

New York, July 27.-Covering of shorts
in steels and war shares generally con-
tributed as much as anything to the
comparative strength of today's dull and
restricted stock market The movement
in most essentials was replication of
recent week-ends, when the bear faction
seemed to find it expedient to settle out
standing commitments. Metals, oils, a
few equipments, notably Baldwin Loco
motive and Virginia Iron, shippings and
such specialties as Industrial Alcohol,
Mating preferred and Distillers figured
among the gains of to 3 points.

well and utilities of the class represented
by Third Avenue. Philadelphia company
and American Telephone company fea-
tured the reverse side at gross recessions
of as much, rallying in part later.
st. Paul forfeited much of its gain
of the previous day under pressure and
other rails rose and fell within narrow
limits. except Canadian Pacific and West
ern Maryland preferred the former gain
ing a point and the latter reacting almost

ment which showed net gain OF $4,000
The market was at it's best in the last
hour, that being the only broad trading
period of the session. United States
Steel led the rise In active stocks to
1925, closing at its best, net gain of 11a
points.
Heaviness Of international issues was
the noteworthy feature of the bond mar
ket and domestic rails and industrals
also yielded. Liberty 31as changed hands
in large blocks at 1879 to 1914 for regular
lots to $685. for odd lots. Total sales of
bonds, par value, aggregated $2,945,O00.

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF COTTON MARKET

New York, July 27.-The cotton
market has shown considerable activi-
ty and irregularlty during the past
week. Its periods Of strength, mostly
conhne5 to midweelz, rejecting trade
demand while the weak spots reflect
ing a notable Improvement in crop con-
ditions throughout the entire belt In
the early part of the week October con-
tracts were up around 1880, from
which there was a violent break on
Tuesday to 2s61c The market again
improved after this, raI1ying Almost to
highest levels again on a big demand
for October contracts from trade in
terests, principally Japanese, under
stood to be against large sales by mills
to points in the far east that in the past
have derived their supplies from Man
chester. There was also some buying
by English houses Of spot cotton in the
south for early shipment, and 1t was
said that the British shipping control
Ter hopes to provide space for the i'm
portation weekly of 5000 bales of new
crop American cotton. All this tended
to promote bull confidence, and at times
gave the market a very firm under
tone, but towards the end of the week,
especially on Friday, withdrawal of
trade buyers left the market dependent
on crop news. which being extremely
bearish. resulted in a break to around
.23.75c for October. Clear weather has
replaced showery conditions over all
the eastern belt, and private advances
claimed that fields were well cultivated
and that although small and late. the
plant was healthy and now making
various growth Not only was the crop
talk from Texas equally favorable, but
the new crop has already begun to
move in that section, and it is said will
be coming out quite freely within the
next two weeks.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 2L--(Special. )--There
has been some selling from Europe on
the improvement in the crop prospects
as shown by the private reports. which
have been issued. At the same time the
probability of two weeks of warm wealth
er, which now seems likely, has brought
about liquidation by many outside hold
ers, so that the market has lost nearyy
the entire advance Of the past few days.
1t Is noticeable that the local traders
and the public avoid trading in October
as that month is regarded as directly I'M
der the transportation problem as to
how many cars and steamers will be
available to bring cotton north at that
time.
1t is thought the government report will
show an Improvement of about 3 points
for the month of July. with the crop doing
well since it was compiled.
