COTTON AGAIN GOES. ID NEW HIGH RECORD
October Sold at 35c, Which Was an Advance of
 $7 Per Bale

New York, August 27.-The cotton market not only captured the recov- cry of its recent losses, but made new high records during today's trading. Notwithstanding the sensational ex- tent of the advance which carried prices about s7 bale above last nights closing figures, there was no great activity or excitement, but the market was evidently sensitive to buy ing orders and met few offerings until October sold at S5c. or 14O points net higher and 240 points above the low level of yesterday morning That de- livery closed at 34.45c with the general list closing barely steady at a net ad-' vance of s5 to 95 points,
 The opening was firm at an advance of 30 to 65 points on the firm cables, and the failure of the weather map to show any further rains in Texas Trade buying was more in evidence than re- gently. while people who had sold on the recent rain news were evidently disappointed by the conflicting char acter of the Texas crop advices or the continued absence of southern hedg- ing. At any rate covering became ac- tive, and was stimulated during the morning by the western belt forecast for clear weather, bullish private crop reports, the favorable war news, and talk of better export prospects,. There was also indications of a broadening Wall treet interest on the advance to $3440c for December and 34.27c for January, or about 1855 to 140 points above last nights closing figures on the active months. This advance met increased realizing and reactions of 70 to 80 points were followed by irregu- lar fluctuations in the late trading. The trade seemed in doubt as to whether the rains had materially helped crop prospects in the southwest while the talk of larger exports was promoted by Liverpool mail advices to the effect that the president of the British Board of Trade had intimated to Lancashire spinners that they might expect larger shipments from now on. A private crop report making the con- dition 61.S was slightly above the fig ures published yesterday, but compar- ing with TIP last month, indicated severe deterioration

CORN PRICES
 TAKE ID CELLAR
Staple Goes Off 3 5-Sc to 4c, While Oats and Pro-
 visions Were Weak

Chicago, August 27.-There might have been an air raid over the Board of Trade today from the way prices took to she cellar. Corn dropped 3ssc. oats A@%c, and provisions 171s@55c.
 In corn bearishness was practically Unanimous. Such support as there was came from resting orders uncovered oy the slump, and against bids. These caused comparatively slight rally to- ward the end, but most of it was lost. Crop reports were ignored as offering nothing new. Against the price were ar rayed increased receipts, country mo- tices of larger consignments, lower sa n- pie markes, and the impression that o. morrow's government weather report would show some improvement in crops due to last weeks rains. October clos ed 4c under yesterday at s15SA.
 Hedging pressure, increasing receipts, and. primarily, the corn weakness, nc. counted for the decline in the oats mar ket. Cash houses bought September and sold Octooer at a spread of 1Ac at one time. Shipping and export demand was slow, ana the arrivals included some 1n diana and other corn usually skipped east. October closed Bc down at 723sc.
 In provisions trade was small and there was nothing to oppose the bearish influ ence of the corn decline. Pork closed 40 55c lower; lard, 171sc lower, and ribs 32l2Q 35c down.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans August 27.--Heavy buying mased on reports of crop deterioration, forced the price of cotton contracts today to the highest level ever recorded, Oc- tober touching 3S.54 cents a pound. At the topmost levels the trading months were 1l5 to 12S points over yesterday last quotations; tn secession finished at a net rise of 80 to SS points realizing hav- ing pared down the gain during the after noon.
 On the first call, the disposition at first was to sell on the rains of over night in Texas and the near months lost 10 to Il points in consequence Before the call was over strong demand de- veloped and the distant months were at the advance, which was materially wid- ehed Tn the trading after the call. The bi,ying wave was in force until nearly the middle of the day and it lifted De- tober 1S5 peInts above the lowest point touched in the opening.
 War news helped to increase bullish feeling but reports pointing to law government. condition per centage were the fost .io.ninent feature ot the day A private condition estimate of 6l.S per cent of teh normal, indicating crop of only 12.400 bales without linters, at- tracted much attention.

STEEL CONTINUES l ITS SLOW CLIMB
 Washington Reports Early
 Adjustment of Railroad Contract Dispute

New York, August N.-Stocks were slightly moro susceptible to favorable de- velopments today, although extreme gains of 1 to points among the usual favor ties were irregularly reduced before the close.
 more hopeful feeling prevailed as to money prospects, regardless of a renewal by the federal reserve board of last months warning concerning the urgent need of credit consultation.
 Pronounced expansion of business IT. bank acceptances was reported, but this was without effect upon ordinary cali loans. which ruled at per cent. the sane rate applying to such time funds as Wers available.
 Reports from Washington pointed tc early adjustment of the railroad contrac. dispute, investment rails evidently antici pating this outcome by their firmness.
 Canadian Pacific, in no way concerned in e differences of the transportation systs.as with the federal government, en- joyed another upward spurt, though not attaining to it's high record Of last Weeh.
 United States Steel rose to the year best at 1155s, an extereme advance ol points from it's minimum of the forenoor. But half of this advantage was forfeited in the moderate selling of the final hour.
 Gross advances of to almost points were registered by other industrials s.Id equipments as well as shippings, coppers and tobaccos and sundry specialties.
 Foreign issues were the striking tea- ture of the enlarged dealings in bonds' French 5lss and municipals making sub stantial gains on the further hardening of Paris exchange. Total sales, par value, aggregated sT,700,000.
 Old United tSates bonds were un- changed on call.

Over w. k. CampDeil-s Wire
 New Orleans, August 26.-Reports from Texas Monday morning made it plain that the long drouth in that state had at last been relieved and cotton in conss : quence opened at lower levels. losing oa to Il points in the first few minutes of trading. Oa the decline, however, good buying was met and the market quickly recovered Around the middle of the Ses- sion net advances were established, and in tn eearly afternoon the trading months were 15 to 24 points above the level of SaturdaYs close. This advance was the result of bullish expectations of nex; weeks government report on condition carrying the crop down to August 25. The general conclusion is that report will be very bullish. Opinion in this direction was strengthened by the Commercial-Ap peal report of this morning, showing a percentage ot only 59.9 of the normal, n- dicating cror of 11,96s,o00 bales, without linters
 Favorable war news is undoubtedly claim is now being made in very high quarters that the turn of the war Is at hand and that Germany is beaten.
 Should the allies continue their success. peace talk ia the long run would inevita- ply become the dominating factor in the situation.
 Private reports from Texas made 1t plain that late planted cotton will be ma terially benefited by tn erains of the last few days, and with an average frost date some crop observers estimate that the moisture will add half million bales to the yield.
 While granting all this, we do not be- lieve declines can be sustained with ths bullish condition figures hanging over the market.
 At the highest the active months were s7 to 64 points up. the close was 33 to 4. up.-Sheppard & Gluck.

New Orleans, August 2.-Weather con- ditions and developments overnight were favorable to crops. Generally dry weather prevailed west of the Mississippi river and over the Atlantics, while Mis- sssppi, Alabama, Tennessee had cloudy weather with rains, heavy in the coast sections. The latest storm news indicates that lanser of the belt has passed. Our market was inclined to follow a norma course If reaction after yesterdays ad- vance on stolms.
 First trades here were 10 to 15 points down, but New York opened about 30 up and advanced franticaly, which forced a corresponding rise here on straddle op tions. October trading in the first hour to 33.17c ..,d December to 3306c. It be- came ixnowr that the advance in New York was on heavy Liverpool straddte buying, which exceeded offerings anu therefore forced rapid pace. The mar ket after this heated spell of buying turned qLieter and reactionary.
 Weather indications favor increasing cloudnens west and making for further of the river with scattered rains.
 The Journal of Commerce reports says Arkansas and Tennessee indications are for loss of about 20 points from monsh ago, Florida doing fairly we'll, while m Missouri, drcuth and rust have badly damaged the crop.
 The weekly government report tomor row should be more favorable, because of more or less general rainfall during the week.-John F. Clark & Co.
