ANOTHER ADVANCE |OF S7 T0S8PERB BALE
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 137
 to 143 Points

New York, August 6.-There was a fur ther sensational advance of some $7 to sS per bale in the cotton market today, with all active months making new high records for the season. The general list closed steady at a net advance of 13T to 143 points.
 There was a good deal of reactionary talk around the ring at the start. The early weather news held out some hope there was selling on belief that the recent buying had weakened the tech nieai position of the market. The open ing was points lower to points higher, and active months sold about 10 to 20 points under yesterdays final figures shortly after the call. Offerings were we'll taken on this decline, however, partly by brokers who were believed to he buying for English and continental interests, while there was also some talk Of Japanese buying. The presence of this demand seemed to alarm early sellers and later the covering became more ac- tive and excited on indications that the tropical storm which has been counted upon for relief from Texas drouth was more likely to reach the central or east ern belts where dry weather is considered desirable.
 Brokers with Wall street connections were heavy buyers on the advance and numerous stop orders were uncovered as prices worked above the high levels of yesterday.
 The close was several points off from the best under realizing The foreign trade buying was attributed to the con tinued crop deterioration reports from the southwest.

MORE ADVANCES IN
 CORN WERE NOT HELD
Oats and Provisions Both Were More or Less Influ-
 enced by Corn

Chicago, August 6.-Belief that the bullish effects of the hot wave had been sufficiently discounted for the time beoing had restraining influence on the corn market today. New advances in price took place but were not held The close was unsettled, l $ ( net lower to 1sc gain. with September $1.61N O 1.62Ac and October. $163h. Oats fin- ished A c off to A o %c up, and pro- visions varying from 15c decline to a rise of Pc.
 Many large commission houses switched today to the selling side of the market and the principal demand came from shorts. Continued torrid weather and the absence of rain were some- what offset by the possibility that storms from the northwest or from the gulf might penetrate the corn belt and afford partial relief from the danger of severe crop damage. Besides, the trade showed considerable disposition to await the government weather and crop reports due tomorrow, and not to risk exaggerating the prospective curtailment.
 Oats were swayed almost entirely by the action of corn.
 Trade in provisions was only of a scattering character
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-08-07
New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 6.-Storm warn ings for the gulf coast put the price of cotton up for gains of nearly cent and a half pound today, causing heavy short covering and a large vol ume of fresh buying for long account The market had a reactionary tendency early in the day but this soon disap- peared Highest prices came late in the session and closing quotations showed net gains of 115 to 143 points.
 Around the opening there was much realizing on the part of longs and prices sagged under the offerings un- til they were IS to 26 points below the level of yesterdays close. The posting of statement by the weather bureau that the tropical disturbance was only 150 miles off the mouth of the Missis- sippi river changed the tone of the market and resulted in buying which wiped out the initial decline and put prices to a net advance. With small reactions this advance was widened un- til it amounted to 125 to 145 points. From the lowest to the highest there was rise of 151 to 160 points. High est prices came following the forecast that the hurricane would hit the gulf coast somewhere between Galveston and the Sabine river.
 Spot prices were marked up 50 points
 which put middling to 2S.75c. While there was no trading for August, 29.05c was bid for that month, thereby wip- ing out the discount on contracts, cam pared with spots.
