BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Aug. 6.-Cotton furnished
the CHIEF excitement In Wall Street
today. for 1t ranged more than IS a
bale between low and high. the net ad-
vance being more than 81.
Wall Street understood that the
same plunger who has been covering
In cotton the last week, while 1t has
advanced more than s22 bale. Ii the
same plunger who at times causes
wide movements In the stock market.
General Motors went 5h points, near
ly to its previous high record, but
other stocks did little.
Mexican Petroleum's annual report
verified forecasts OF low return. II
showed earnings of 1923 per cent for
1917, against 1916 per cent for 1915. But
the expenses and depreciation in
creased more than $4,000 and the
depreciation account was looked upon
by Wall Street as especially liberal.
President e. L. Doheny stated that
the loss Of ships due to the war, that
is, ships taken away from the COM
pany for government use, had made
the company earn at least $4,000, 900
less in the last six months Of 1917.
Coppers Hopeful
General Motors and American su-
Hndtrd are stiii tne rullnB mysteries
OF the stock market. Both are to a
certain extent cornered. the former

at more than / per cent premium.
Sumatra was lending nat.
Action OF the government In permit
ting the steel companies to make such
liberal profits gave hope to the stock
holders Of copper companies that
they too would be treated more liber-
ally For that reason a price of 27h
cents for copper was expected as
result Of the conference In Washing
ton.
The weather has become a vital in
fiuence In the stock market. 1t has
already sent cotton sky rocketing
$22.75 a bale in the last week.
Corn Is now in more delicate con-
dition than cotton and the next two
weeks will make or kill the corn crop.
Rainfall has been scant. Knowing
for certain that there has been a
drought In O large part Of Germany,
official reports that crops are In good
