bulge of about three-quarters of cent pound in the early trading was the feature of the cotton market today It was caused by the efforts of shorts, made nervous Toy favorablue war news, to cover over weekly and monthly crop reports due during the coming two ses- sons. Soon after the opening the ring was swamped with buying orders and buyers found almost no cotton for sale.
 On the opening call December was points off but other months were up slightly. In a few minutes the demand increased the market entered into a pe- riod of great activity and values swung upward sharply until they were 62 to 70 points over yesterdays close. The de- mand continued for while, but grad ually the market quieted down, and around the middle of the day was in clined to sag off somewhat, losing about dollar a bale from the topmost levels Toward the end fresh buying came in and the market immediately strengthened prices made a full recovery and a new high level on some positions. the net gain being 67 to 75 points. On the close there was another moderate sag, last prices being at net advance of 46 to 54 points.
 Spot news did not attract the usual attention. although the first receipts of
 the new crop in Georgia created com ment A private condition report of lS.6, indicating deterioration for the month of l s points, more than balanced several minor bearish features.

CROP AND WEATHER
 REPORTS FEATURE
UnfavOrable Outlook South west May Be Counter
 acted by East

New York, July 3o.-A covering move ment in advance of the weekly weather and crop report tomorrow and the govern ment condition report on Thursday, caused much higher prices in the cot ton market today October advancing 80 points to 25 65c and later positions from, 6l to 6 points, December selling at 24y3c in the last hour. withA the close steady at "A to 75 points net advance
 The opening was steady at a rise or only l to points and for time the market acted rather easy on reports of showers over central Texas Covering orders in October disclosed such light offerings that prices had a rapid advance catching stop orders on the way up until there was quite a general buying move ment, mostly in October, from Wall street and local shorts. Later in the day the more distant positions felt the influence of buying orders and led the advance. Liverpool and the south were the principal sellers during the season. Private crop advices from Texas were so bullish that traders were confident to- morrow's weekly report could hardly fail to reflect the unfavorable outlook in the southwest, although it may be counter acted by the satisfactory news from east ern states. While exports were again light today, it was understood that space had been allotted for the shipment of between 125,0oo and 10000 bales to the United Kingdom during August. The movement of new cotton continues in the southwest and new bales were also reported at a number of points in the eastern belt during the last day or two. No prospect for any general or heavy rains over the southwest indicated in the western belt forecast, while show CTS were again predicted for the eastern belt where boil weevil activity has be- gun to assume more prominence.

Over R. S. Stewart & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, July 30.-The cool wave on which predictions of rains in the
 west were based, passed eastward as ex-
 peeted and that the western states got
 was a few insignificant showers. There was no change in the drouth situation, ds
 such precipitation is no relief Good
 rains fell over the eastern states where
 the approach of q tropical disturbance
 seems to cause continued rainfall. which
 is giving rise to increased complaints of
 weevil activity.
 The map indicates generally fair west
 except south Texas, where it might be
 cloudy with little precipitation. Partly cloudy in the Central belt, generally
 cloudy in the Atlantics, with further
 rains, particularly in Florida and south
 east Georgia, Should the protective northern wave recede a storm warning
 for sou.heastern waters would be likely. Liverpool advanced more than due on new crops, but quotes spots H points lower. This and the decline in our spot quotations is nothing but an adjustment
 on the grade basis. With d new supply of better grade coming along, the premium of to cents on better grades is out of place and must be reduced to around cent or ? cents, which is normal for this time. Futures have already discounted this adjustment and there is no need for decline in futures. They should rather advance to, meet the process half way. First trades here this morning were at unchanged figures to points advance, but there was no selling supply and as soon as a demand developed the market shot up 60 points in few minutes, Oc- tober trading to .4Sc. Absence of re- I lief west, expectation of bullish weekly government report tomorrow on the west ern states, and the stimulating political from London of a hraal< n rnl.i ; tions between Turkey and Germany, were the buying inspirations. New York re- ported leading spot houses active buyers. John F. Clark & Co.

CORN RECEIPTS OFF
 WHILE OATS COME IN
As a Result Corn Closed Strong, While Oats Lost a
 Fractional Point

Chicago, July 3o.-Falling off in re- ceipts, together with the less favorable aspect of war news. did a good deal today to lift prices of corn. The close was strong, 115c to 2c net higher, with August sl.54A to s1.54ss, and September $l 551a to $l.55%. Oats finished 1hc de- cline to 1sc advance and provisions up 10 to l5c.
 At first corn displayed weakness. ow- Ing to better weather and to reports that Turkey and Germany had severed rela- ticns. Subsequently. however, the fact that the Turko-German break had not been confirmed led to a rally, which gained in impetus after word came that huge counter attacks by the Germans in France had not been wholly fruit less Then strength in the cash market began to take effect, and the attention of traders focused on the circumstance that receipts here for the day amounted to only 100 cars, and that primary ar rivals so far this week had decreased S13,o00 bushels. Improved shipping calls from the east helped to make the close the highest point of the day.
 Larger supplies from the new crop kept oats down in value. Good sized deliv- cries on July contracts were expected Advances in the hog market made pro- visions average higher. Furthermore, cash demand was better and shipments Liberal.

STEEL WAS THE BIG
 STOCK YESTERDAY
Makes Enormous Donations for Federal Income and j
 War Excess Profits

New York July 30.-Interest in the stock market was more professional, if anything, than usual, traders engaging in fresh commitments on the short side because of adverse crop reports and uE- certainty as to the stability of the United States Steel extra" dividend.
 All doubt regarding the latter proved unfounded although the result was not known until after the markets close, when record earnings and enormous ap- propriations for federal income and war excess profits were issued.
 United States Steel, according to it's usual custom. supplied an overwhelming percentage of the days limited business, making an extreme decline Of 2A points in the last hour, and closing at net loss of $ of a point.
 The balance of the list was guided by Steels irregular course, with occasional exceptions, notably in the group of gas shares, which gained to BE points on a favorable legal ruling.
 Forenoon advances of to 3 points in oils, in active equipments. motor access sories and such miscellaneous shares as Il1l NeStet, fdclIiC hdll anu SuIlury Spe- cialties under pool control were largely effaced later.
 Tobaccos, General Motors, General Electric and shippings were irregular or heavy and rails failed to fulfill yester- days promise of betterment, Canadian Pacific forfeiting much of it's recent ad- vantage
 The average of prices was lowest in the last hour, the days only active period, but leaders rallied fractionally to point
 Call money eased a trifle, but time funds were limited to renewals for short terms, mainly 30 days.
 Bonds were steady but flea atureless, aside from further nominal advices in the in- ternational group. Total sales, par value $5.625,000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

cotton went upward, october 80 points and later positions 61 to 6S points. Pri- vate advices from Texas were very bull fish, forecasting to a great extent the forthcoming report on Thursday.

Exports for the day were light, but it is under stood that allotments have been mads which will insure the shipment of De- tween 125,00o and 10000 bales to the United Kingdom during August.

Trading In Stocks Was Indulged In
 to Great Extent By Professionals
.Rr JOHN c. MOSES


 Professionals were in the limelight on the exchange floor again yesterday. Traders were offering on the short side on account of adverse crop reports and uncertainty of the 'extra" Steel dividend. Peoples Gas was the feature of the dull noon hour, rising points on fair turn over. United States Steel, Mexican Pe- troleum and Tobacco products also showed greater firmness and Samatra Tobacco rallied 1A points. Rails, ship pings and metals were irregular. United States Steefs extreme decline of 2A points in the last hour was attended by recessions of to ? points elsewhere. The closing Was heavy.
