New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 8.-It was an ac- tive market in cotton today, with fairly wide fluctuations, both above and be- low the level of yesterdays close. The opening saw a continuation of the reac- tionary movement of yesterday, but the favorable war news of the day gave the market new buying power, on which it bulged strongly. Late in the session gen. eral realization arose among the longs, and another reaction occurred, so that the net change on the close was rise of only IS to 36 points.
 The initial decline carried prices 26 to 36 points below yesterdays lost quota tions. Reports of Q new offensive by tho entente wiped out this loss and stimulated enough buying 10 put the tr .ding months 41 to 55 points over yes- terday's final prices. The advance was fairly we'll maintained until well into the afternoon.
 The dry weather map in the western belt. the forecast of more dry weather to come and extremely unfavorable crop accounts from many points in Texas were features that helped the market at the advance Bullish croR news was only partially offset by receipts of new bales in Alabama and Mississippi and by claims that hedge selling against the new crop was being felt.

Over s. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, August 8.-Yesterday's de- cline. although mostly in the nature of reaction after several days of excited ad- vance, easier technical conditions and increased house selling was, neverthe- less, forced along by unfounded rain rumors from the west. Many believed that wire interruption with Texas meant that the storm went into that state. This misconception was cleared away this morning. The storm spent itself largely on the Louisiana side of the Sabine river and brought no relief to Texas Detailed reports from western Louis jana, however, show that there was ma terial damage to the cotton crop there. Welsh, La, says plants distorted, stripped of leaves and bolls and some farmers will have to look for work elsewhere
 The map this morning shows the wealth CT situation over the cotton belt about unchanged and the drouth and heat spell over the west continues unbroken. Some scattered showers fell in Arkansas, Ten nessee and Florida. Indications point to generally fair in the western belt, ex- cept that there may be a little precipita- tion in northeast Oklahoma, increasing cloudiness Tn ,-e cen.ra1 and eastern belt. with a change to showery weather over the northeastern quarter of the belt.
 A reilaDle repoA rom west tennessee says: "Our crop outlook has lost at lea st 25 per cent in the past two weeks from drouth and heat"
 Columbus, Ga, wires: Great deteriora- tion going on now from heat, rust, she'd ding and boil weevil.''
 Our marke! opened to 15 points lower, mainly on the lower Liverpool. and de- clined further on the low opening in New York. Easier technical conditions anc increased hedge selling against crops were the principal bear arguments for

RALLIES IN COTTON
 CAUSE AN ADVANCE
EEGneral List Closed Steady st a Net Advance of 19 to B Points

New York, August S.--A further decline day was followed by rallies of approxi- mately 1-cent pound. owing chiefly to unsatisfactory weather news from the southwest. December contracts sold up from 27.l5c to 2S 25c and closed at P 96c, with the general list closing steady at a net advance of 19 to g. points.
 There was renewal of yesterdays sell ing movement at the start The show ing of early weather maps rather encour- aged the hope of better weather in Texas. as some rain was reported at Amarillo and Oklahoma and there was low Barometer over west Texas. The offe-- ings were readily absorbed at the initial decline of 31 to 59 points, however and the market soon firmed up on covering, which became more active after the pub lication of the western belt forecast for fair weather in Texas. The report for
 the Houston district was also a disap- pointmant to recent sellers, showing showers at only five points, with maxi
 mum temperatures of 100 degrees or over
 at 25 points Buying did not become
 really active or aggressive, but offerings
 were light and the market was helped by the favorable view of the war news, with October selling up from 27.52c to 2S S.62c and January from 2 .15c to 2S.1Sc or abou,
 no points from the low level of the morn- ] ing and some 49 to 63 points net higner on the active positions, There was realiz- l ing at this level and closing prices showed reactions on private reports or
 showers in one of the larger producing l counties of Texas. There were further l reports of spot offerings at an easier basis and some scattered southern sell- irg was reported around the ring. but the market was mainly influenced by the | fear of further crop deterioration in the southwest.

decline, the staple bolstered up during rallies to gain of 1c per pound. The general list closed at a net advance of i9 to g points. The official forecast for generally fair weather in Texas was a disappointment to early sellers and cov- ering was further stimulated by the de- tailed weather report for the Houston district, showing showers at only five stations, with temperatures of 100 degrees or over at 9 stations. Business was not active or general, but offerings were light, with prices working about B to
 90 points net higher during the middle of the day. when october sold at B.3oc and January at 27.S5c. Buying did not be- come particularly active or general, but
 offerings were light, and favorable
 view of the war news helped to steady up the early afternoon market.
 With the government crop report ex- pected to be bullish, traders in the grain pit sent corn upward, closing ssc to 1c net higher. The action of corn ruled oats. Trading was light With record breaking prices in hogs, provisions strengthened up, closing 12c to 15c de- cline to 25c advance

PACKING ISSUES
 LOOKING GLOOMY Heavy Hand of Uncle Sam Threatens to Guide the
 Meat Industries

Now York August S.--The proposef eN .ansio, of federal regulation over va r;ous lines of trade and commerce ac- coveted opite as much as anything else for the sluggish and uncertain course of stocks today.
 Shares of telephone and telegraph com nanies again weakened with Western Union at a new minimum and packing issues were. heavy on the severe arfaIgn : ment of those interests by the federal trade commission, which recommended control of that industry and it's many collateral branches. @e
 wilson &. Go. was the most striking in stance of this new development, losio% A. points on steady offerings, but klhcrea issues offered resistance.
 United States Steel repeated it's recent maximum of no, closing within the small est fraction of that quotation at gain of substantially l point.
 Baldwin Locomotive, Distillers. lnou' trial Alcohol, Fertilizers and Tooaccos contributed to the stability of the acuVe list although Sumatra Tobacco's ex- treme advance of points was canceiien at the close.
 Rails were in the background making m resnonse in the last hour to the governments crop report which indicatea conditions variably under those of the preceding months.
 Rates on London and Paris moved Ia vorably to those centers in the weekly statement of the Bank Of England ois- closed another material gain almost S 300 600 in gold holdings.

Underwood Speaks
 in Butler County

Greenville, August S.-(Special. )-Sena- tor Oscar w. Underwood spoke yesterday at the Butler county courthouse against the proposed federal prohibition amend ment
 The speaker was introduced by Col A. Steinhart, prominent anti-amendment figure in Butler county politics.
 The coming of Senator Underwood was widely heralded over Butler county by the anti-amentment forces and a large audience gathered to hear him. Many of them were women, however, and ac- cording to one who knows the voters of the county well, 50 per cent of the voters there were amendists.
 Senator Underwood opened his speech by saying that this was his first visit to Greenville and that he was indeed glad to be in Butler county He stated that he would speak for about one hour and half on the war and law
 When he mentioned anything in refer ence to our part in the great struggle in Europe there was loud applause.
 At recent meeting of the directors of the Butler County Fair association and the beat secretaries, it was decided not to hold affair in Butler county until after the Germans were whipped The people of the county are active in war activities, and the farmers are playing an especial part, and it was thought that all resources used toward directly win ming the war was better than to hold the fairs
