SENSATIONAL BREAK
 IN COTTON PRICES
Market Closed Unsettled at a Net Loss of 73 to
 90 Points

New York, July 1.-The cotton market was weak and unsettled today and there was sensational break late in the aft ernoon, with October selling off to 2S.40, or S5 points below last nights closing and 107 points under the high level of the week. The close was unsettled at a net loss of 7S to 90 points. The market opened barely steady at a decline of to "A points on talk of better prospects for showers in the southwest Selling was not particularly active or aggressive, but prices worked gradually lower, with the selling encouraged by the official western belt forecast and less favorable view Of immediate peace prospects Moderate ral- lies occurred late in the covering on cov- ering for over the weekly report of the weather bureau and one time during the early afternoon the market showed recov- cries of some 25 or 30 points. As soon as this covering had run it's course, however, prices weakened under renewed liquida- tlon on the private reports of rain in the southwest, with December selling off to 25.4 and January to 25.75. The bulk of the business was in October and Decem- Der, and the closing bid for January was 20 points under the lowest sale actually reported The weekly report of the weather bureau was considered about a stand-off, but nervousness over crop progress recently had been pretty much confined to the drouth situation in the southwest. No general or heavy rains were reported in that section during the afternoon, but the appearance of showers led to expectation that tomorrow's details would show the drouth generally broken. Some southern selling was reported here during the day which tended to strength en the more optimistic view of the new crop outlook while there was little or no sign of trade buying which has been one of the recent bullish features. FIX ports today were 21,946 bales, making 5294,881 so far this season.

SPOT COTTON
PIG IRON
Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 11.-Better weather conditions throughout the cotton belt with a forecast of further showers in eastern Texas caused a running de- cline of some 50 points, half of which was recovered in a natural reaction. During the afternoon the government semi weekly crop account again showed an improvement with indica- tions that the semi-monthly private crop accounts would show a fair inn provement during the past fortnight. With the exception of southwest Texas and southern Texas needing rain which may come from the govern ment predictions of today, this wealth CT throughout the south is just what the crop needs. Some hedge selling for factors account appears in small quantities as farmers were disposed to sell part of their crops The principal buyers were the local traders who thought the decline too sharp and ex- pect support from the leading bulls which came in the afternoon. Views were expressed that the foreign news pointed toward a development of peace terms In the last six minutes prices broke 50 points under. more outside liquidation on improved crop pros poets Should rain come tonight in Texas we will have a further decline if not probably a recovery.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. July 11.-Cotton was de- pressed throughout the session ot the market here today, general selling pelns encouraged by reports of rain in Texas, by the forecast of showers for a large mart of the western belt, by favorable features in the governments weekly crop and weather accounts and, on the close. bv the rumor that a private crop report ing bureau was out with condition figures showing a gain of several points since the end of last month. Last prices were the lowest and the active months showed a loss of 65 to 6S points
 The opening was at the decline because of private reports of good showers here and there in the extreme western pelt, The decline was widened by the forecast and later by the weekly reports. At this time the active months were 54 to ol points Around the middle of the day and well into the afternoon the tendency was to recover on profit taking by early short sellers but in the last few minutes Of tra ding the market weakened under a burst of selling on the private bureau ru- nor. At no time did the market show any decided buying power, although there was much bullish comment over the in ternal situation in Germany and the dis patches from Washington stating cotton was to be excluded from the food control hill

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, July u.-Newly instituted war emergency curbs on trading at Kansas City and St. Louis, together with pros peetive additional check on transactions here, brought about much nervousness to- day in the corn market. After breaking all high price records for the season, quotations closed unsettled at 1sc to 2s4c ret advance. with September sl.59k to S1.59s4 and December S1.21ss to $1H5s. Wheat finished 1zc off to a like advance at $2.0S July, and s1.91h September. Oats gained s4c to 21sc and provisions were un- changed to 1Oc lower.
 Rapid changes in sentiment formed the rule from the outset in the corn market At first, the bears seemed to have de- cided advantage. but sudden wave of buying on the part of shorts carried prices upgrade and then a break ensued owing to heavy selling for houses with eastern connection. The setback was gen. erally associated with word that meet ing of Chicago board of trade directors had been called, and that action of the Kansas City exchanges cutting off all new buying of September options seemed likely to be duplicated here. Rains in Texas and Oklahoma attracted notice, but failed to offset reports that irrepara- ble damage had been done in Oklahoma and that a drouth era extended north ward to the Dakotas.
 Wheat swayed with corn but kept with in narrow limits. Harvesting of winter wheat was said to be making favorable progress.
 In the oats crowd. the chief influence was the fact that despite numerous fluctuations the corn market advanced higher.
