WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET

New York, August 3-The feature of the week in the cotton market was the publication of the government crop report on Wednesday. Prior to the appearance of this report the market had shown a declining tendency on a belief that the crop was improving and that the condi- tion figures would probably show an im- provement of about points. This idea was encouraged by the showing of pri- vate reports as well as by scattering ad- vices from the south, and a canvass of New York Stock exchange members made on Tuesday revealed an average expecta- tion that the bureau would be in the neighborhood of 73.3 The actual report making the condition only 70.3 or exactly the same as that reported a month pre- viously was consequently a general sur prise to the trade. Prices shot up with sensational rapidity and inside of 10 min utes after the report was issued october contracts were selling at g 30 cents, com pared with 2S.6l cents. the recent low level, This made an advance of more than a cent and half per pound from the low point of Wednesday morning, and of 129 points from the closing price of Tuesday, It seemed however that local traders were more disposed to accept the more optimistic view of the crop out look than to readjust their commitments ID the snaHer crop HgureS rom Wash- 1ngton, and prices soon turned easier The weekly report of the weather bu- reau indicating that the plant had made good progress since the condition hg- ures were secured evidently encouraged selling on the reaction. while bearish sem timent also seemed to be based very largely upon the proximity of the new crop movement. This was emphasized by scattering reports of new crop arrivals at points in both the eastern and western belts. which led to expectations of hedge selling here as picking made progress. October contracts sold off to 40 cents on Thursday or about 90 points from the best, but steaded around that level on a bullish view of the annual statistics, with the market becoming frmer on cov- ering and the continued absence of pres sure from the south. Offerings were very light on the advance today, which was led by the near months, with October closing at 25.o4 cents or within 26 points of the best level for the week

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS ACTIVITY
General List Closed Irregu- lar at Net Advance of
 "A Points

New York, August 3-After a quiet and irregular morning. the cotton mar ket showed increasing activity, and there was sharp advance in prices. Near months led the upward movement with October selling up from 2464c to 25.22c and closing at 25.04c. The general list points on August and of 2 to 35 points on october and later deliveries.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points on Liv- erpool buying and scattered covering promoted by a renewal of peace talk. There may also have been little buy ing on reports of too much rain in parts of the eastern belt, but the early de- mand was soon supplied and the market sold off to a net loss of to 8 points be- fore the end of the morning with De- cember touching 2434c and January "A 430c. Prices then steadied, and covering De- came more active during the early aft ernoon. The disposition to even up short contracts for the over two-day adjourn ment was evidently increased by the scarcity of contracts, which suggested a continued absence of hedge selling from the south.
 Unfavorable shipping conditbpns for York were also emphasized on the ad- vance, and 1t did not require much buy ing to send August up to 26.1Sc. or SS points above last nights closing figures. Rumors that southern cotton buyers were here seeking to fill out August shipments from the locals to check were doubtless factor on this advance, proo- ably increased the nervousness of Octo- Der shorts. That delivery sold 53 points above last nights close, while December touched 24S4c and January 2479c, or 42 to 43 points net higher. The close was several points off from the best under realizing and private reports of showers in Texas.

BUSINESS RAPIDLY
 ADJUSTING ITSELF.
 SAYS BRADSTREET

New York. August 3.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Business is rapidly adjusting itself to war conditions and is uniformly sat- isfactory for midsummer period. but ordinary civilian demand as distin- guished from governmental wants lacks the snap of a few months ago and on the whole buying operations for normal purpose is streaked with more or less conservatism. Moreover extremely hot weather has exerted retarding effect. Nevertheless, funda- mental undercurrents are favorable optimism as to fall trade reigns, crop news on the whole is encouraging prices for farm produce are remuner ative, railway earnings are larger bank clearings outrank those of one and two years ago. large surplus stocks do not apparently exist in any line and road sales are relatively bet ter than house trade.
 In industrial lines very little is heard about summer shutdowns. Inci dentally localized labor disturbances are numerous.
 Weekly bank clearings. s5.e26,- 574.000.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. August 3.-Chances that peace developments might assume some importance during the double holiday intervening before Monday did good deal to overcome in the corn market. today an advance which had resulted from continued lack of rain and from temporary scantiness of of ferings. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to 5s e lower. with December s1.17ks 0117& and May $1.15h 1.159s. Wheat de- clined shc net. but In the end held steady at s2.27k for September. Oats lost e 9sc. In provisions there was rise of 27955c.
 At first bulls appeared to have a decided advantage in the corn market as crop reports from the southwest were unfavorable and no promise of drouth relief was in sight After buy CTS had forced a material upturn in values, however, selling became free, owing to some extent to the cooler temperatures prevailing where excess sive heat had been increasing the danger of crop damage from absence oA moisture Unloading on the part of holders. however, did not assume large proportions until after notice had been taken of various items of peace gos sip. On the downturn that preceded the close one prominent long sold more than 100000 bushels.
 Wheat eased down as a result in some degree of assertions that farm CTS in the winter wheat region were showing more willingness to sell and that as yet millers were not taking hold freely
 oats acted heavy. The market felt the weight of hedging sales and also syInpathlzed with the weakness of corn at the close
 Higher prices on hogs helped to lift provisions. Meat shipments were lib- eral and Liverpool advices also en- couraged buying
