WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON MARKET
Sensational Rise After Govern
 ment Report, Features Trad ing of Period-Weather Re port Indicates Good Progress.

New York, Aug. 3,-The feature of the week in the cot 23 market was the publication of thc government crop report on Wedne -ay. Prior to the appearance of this report the mar ket had showed a declining tendency on belief that the crop was improv- ing and that the condition figures would probably show an improvement of about points. The actual report making the condition only 70.3, or eX actly the same as that reported a month previously, was consequently a general surprise to the trade. Prices shot up with sensational rapidity and inside of 10 minutes after the report was issued October contracts were selling at 25.30c, compared with 23.6l the recent low level. This made an advance of more than a cent and one-half per pound from the low point of Wednesday morning and of 129 points from the closing price of Tues day. It seemed, however, that local traders were more disposed to accept the nose optimistic view of the crop outlook than to readjust their com mitments to the smaller crop figures from Washington, and prices soon turned easier. The weekly report of the Weather Bureau indicating that the plant had made good progress since the condition figures were se- cured, evidently encouraged selling on the reaction, while bearish senti- ment also seemed to be based very largely upon the proximity of the new crop movement. October contracts sold off to 24.40c on Thursday, or about 90 points from the best, but steadied around that level

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-A new de- mand for Southern yellow pine in connection with the nations war pre- parations is indicated by the an- nouncement at Washington made by the committee on automotive trans port of the Council of National De- fense that as the outcome of con- ference of motor truck manufactur- .ers, engineers, representatives of the quartermaster's corps of the army and of the committee, held recently at Columbus, Ohio, the results of which have since been approved by the War Department. the truck-makers of the country have agreed voluntarily to cooperate with the War Department in carrying through a continuing stadardized truck building program for the requirements of the American army. The Columbus meeting was attended by fully 2,000 representa- tives of the industry, and it's action, according to the committee, insures the organized assistance of the coun- try's truck makers in providing an ample supply of military trucks for government service.

NEW ORLEANS TO BE MADE
 DISTRIBUTING CENTER

New Orleans, La., Aug. 4.-Accord- ing to advices from Washington, New Orleans will be made the center of activities of the quartermaster's corps of the United States army this fall. During a conference with a delegation from New Orleans, Gen eral Henry c. Sharpe, quartermaster general, made known the departments plans. The delegates were Paul II. Saunders, Thomas Cunningham, A. M. Lockett and William Douglas, and they were accompanied by Senator Ransdell and Representatives Esto- pinal and Dupre.
 MT. Saunders made a concise state ment of the advantages of New Or leans as a point for distributing army supplies, and it was characterized by General Sharpe as one of the most able presentations of this kind he has ever heard. In addition to making New Orleans the center of distribu- tion for the supplies needed by the troops at the encampments at Alex andria and Hattiesburg, it was asked that the government make the Cres- cent City a distributing point for its entire supplies of coffee, rice and sugar. ..
