STEADY TONE ON
 COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Firm at Net Advance of 10 to
 38 Points

New York, July 13.-while somewhat ir- regular the cotton market showed 9 gen. erally steady tone owing to an unfa- vorable view of the weather map and renewal of peace rumors. October contracts sold up to 25.76c or ss points above last nights final figures and closed at S.66c with the general line closing very steady at a net advance of 10 to 30 points.
 The market opened steady at decline Of 5 points to an advance of f points There were some overnight selling orders around the ring due probably to yester- days talk of a easier spot basis in the southwest. These offerings were soon ab- soroed and the market sold B to 19 points net higher right after the call on the failure of weather advices to show anything more than a few showers in Texas, and the more optimistic view of political news from Germany.
 Sentiment was somewhat unsettled by Washington advices indicating that cot ton might be included among commo- dities subject to export restrictions and there were reactions of several points late in the morning under realizing. October sold off to 25.31c and December to 25 36c. UT dpout ( 10 points net lower The market steadied at the level on renewed covering and peace rumors reached the ring around midday, which were not gen erally credited but which were followed by furry of active covering. July led the advance, selling up to 26.63c, while December touched % soc With active months generally showing net gains of s to 40 points. Thee lose was few points off from the best under realizing. Little more was heard of the reported easier spot basis in the southwest, and it was said that good premium on July was bid for cotton out of the local stock.
 Exports today were 14,173, making 5,22s, = 054 so far this season.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 13.-The cotton mar ket here was nervous and unsettled to- day, periods of dullness alternating with fits of feverish trading during which prices buIged and broke in fairly wide manner. All manner of political rumors played their part in the days business. The highest levels. net rise of 36 to 42 points, were made following the re- pert that Austria was trying to make separate peace, and this report came on top of the rumor that the Kaiser and crown prince of Germany had abdicated. Toward the end the market lacked sup port, and last prices showed 8 net gain of to IS points.
 On the opening, prices were 13 to 23 points up because of the dry weather map for the western belt, and the lack of confirmation of reports of rain in Texas, which broke the market on the close yesterday. The advance did not hold and prices soon slid off to a net decline of to 10 points. At the middle of the day the market was filled with political rumors, none Of which appeared to have any real foundation, but they had their effect on values. For awhile trading was brisk, but the ring quieted in the afternoon.

Hubbard Bros. .& Co.'S Letter

New York. July S.--(special )--Opening lower, on liquidation by outside holders, due to proposed embargo on cotton to neutrals, the market recovered, advancing sharply early in the afternon on a street rumor that the Kaiser might resign. Only a few scattered showers fell over night in Texas of very light duration. The local sentiment has been rather bearish, as result of the market this week and the feeling that the administration was against active speculation.
 On the advance today the sellers of yesterday covered Outside of Texas the weather was favorable for the crop. Con- sumption for last month is reported to be about the same as in June last year.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. July 13-Attention to possible neace moves turned the corn market downward today after prices had touched 115c to 41bc net lower. with September at s1. .5Sss to s. .5S1a and December at S1.l2 to s1. .121h. Wheat finished unsettled, lc off to 2c up at $2.0S for July and $1 141s for September Oats lost 2sc to azc and, pro- visions 12c to 35c.
 Until peace gossip began to dominate a majority of traders, corn was in active demand The fact that rural offers were scarce and that receipts here were mea- ger seemed for an hour or more to stim- uate eager buying both of new crop months and of deliveries near at hand. On the upturn September touched S1.61, the highest quotation yet for that op- ton, and in the sample market No. ? white commanded ss.9o another new top record At this stage rumors were cir culated which led to much discussion of the chances of an early peace General liquidation then set in and was accom- panied by aggressive short selling that carried the market downward during the greater part of the rest of the day. On the decline bearish sentiment was notice ably increa sede by news of heavy reseling Of corn, nelQ TOT bultH account dl bdl- timore Another depressing factor was the ordering of immediate railroad embar- goes against Ill unlicensed grain ship ments intended for export.
 Absence of trading in wheat at the outset was so complete that no quotation whatever was posted for at least an hour, circumstance said to be without prece- dent since the board of trade was first established. Uncertainty over the out come of food control legislation at Wash ington appeared to be chiefly responsible for the stoppage of business. Later few transactions were witnessed, and the market showed some firmness that was associated with need of rain in the spring crop territory
 Oats paralleled the action of corn but kept within narrower limits The mar ket was steadied by prospects that to the fullest extent possible oats would be used as substitute for corn
 Provisions lacked any aggressive sup port Peace talk seemed to have con- siderable bearish effect.
 Future quotations were as follows:

NO FOOLISH STUNTS co

Among the findl tests are a few highly specialized stunts done in a restricted space. field, for instance 1900 by 1900 feet is hedged with high barriers, over which the flyer must make his en- trance, graze the ground for a certain distance and climb out, all according to the Holye of aeronautics.
 Again, the man who aspires to aerial war service must make 90-mile cross country flight, encountering what he may Also, he must climb 800 feet and come down within 100 feet of a given point.
 He must do a neat figure 'S" around two posts set one kilometer Qive-eigths of a mile) apart. If there is anything else the instructors can think of, the man does that, too I am not sure whether they must qualify in shoe cob bling and water color painting. But Major Lahm says versatility is a de- cided advantage to an airman.
 l asked about accidents, for I never talk to a famous flyer but I look next day or week for news of-of something awful-and so often, alas. preventable.
 'The army men" he answered gravely, do no foolish stunts We like man to know how to do them-and then not do them. They must be learned as a separate accomplishment under the clos est supervision and most favorable cir cumstances. We have not had bad ac- cident at the school for nearly two years"
 Flying can be carried on here every day in the year. Winds are light and regular. and no nearby mountains or 5o-story buildings break up the air cur rents, causing gusts or pockets" All North Island wants now Is more planes. If you have any you don't need please send 'em over, for even the efficiency of Colonel Dade and Major Lahm cannot divide 45 machines among 75 men with any real success. Remember what Kitchener saidi
