VIDE FLUCTUATIONS
ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady
at Net Advance of 80
to so Points

New York. August e.-WhiIe there we're
wide fluctuations in the cotton market
today, the more general tendency Of
prices was upward, with October ad-
vancing from 2565c to 2s.15c in the late
trading, and closing at 2s.o7c The gen
eral list closed steady at net advance
of 90 to so points
The opening was II to Is points higher,
and the more active positions sold SO to
80 points net higher right after the call
on covering. Yesterdays sellers were
evidently disappointed by the weather
map, (which failed to show expected
rains In the southwest The more ur-
gent demand was soon supplied, how
ever, and the market turned easier on
reports that new crop cotton was being
offered more freely in the south. Oc-
tober sold off from 2595c to rs. CSC and
January from &S2c to %. 45c during the
middle of the day, but at this level
offerings in their turn subsidized, and the
market firmed up again on covering and
renewed support. The larger exports APP
peared to emphasize the strength of the
immediate spot situation and the late
advance was led by near months with
October selling IS points net higher, COM
pared with net gains Of go to 4S points on
later deliveries. December sold at % 92c
and January at 25.91c. Closing prices
were a few points off from the best I'M
der realizing.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. August Notwithstanding
that at first today the final passage of
the food control bill did not affect grain
values, weakness developed later, owing
largely to a falling off in demands from
distillers. upon whom the new meas
ure had placed restrictions forbidding
the manufacture of alcoholic beverages.
Corn, steady at the close. was &c to
1c net lower. Wheat finished unset
tied, &c down. The outcome in oats
ranged from nc decline to &c advance.
Provisions wound UP unchanged to Zoe
higher
Instead Of the food control bill, the
government crop report formed the domi-
mating Influence at the outset in the
corn market.
Wheat. like corn, showed an early adj
vance, but a subsequent material set
back. The initial strength was ascribed
to disappointment over the cutting
down of the government estimate Of
the probable domestic yield of wheat
this season.
Relative flrmnesS of oats appeared to
be due mainly to wet weather which de-
layed threshing.
Provisions scared to new high price
records for the season, but receded later
on account of realizing sales by holders.
Future quotations were as follows.
