WILL PRICE BE SET
 ON COTTON CROP?
Staple Continues to Ad- vance, But Is Nervous on
 Price-Fixing Rumors

New York, July 1S,-There was a fur. ther sharp advance in the cot ton market today which reflected con- tinued drouth in the southwest and tho stimulating influence of the war news October contracts sold up to 25. 7ec. nal. ing net advance of 46 points and ina highest price touched since that delivery sold at 25.5lc on the break of last sp,in,s october closed at 25. .7sc and the general list closed firm at net gain of a to q points.
 The market was firm from the start First prices were points lower on No vember an active month, but generally IS to 30 points higher on renewed GOV ering and trade buying The encourap. Ing character of the war news Liver pools full response to Yesterdays local gains, with talk of better prospects for ocean tonnage based upon London ca bles. and the western belt forecast for dry weather were all factors in advance After showing netN gains of about 40 to 4I points the market reacted slightly under realizing, which seemed to reflect renewed nervousness over price fixing possibilities This resulted from Wash |tngton dispatches to the effect that a joint conference of bankers, manufactur- CTS and growers had agreed to favor stabilizing or price fixing by the govern ment
 Except for profit taking. however, there was very little selling in evidence and the market reached the highest points of 'the day in the late trading on the con tinued favorable character of the war news with July selling at % 16c and De- cember at 25.09c. Thee lose was within or 1 points of the top. While based primarily upon the fear of rapid deterior- ation in Texas crop prospects. local brok- CTS said the buying was probably stim- ulated by enthusiasm over the success of counter attacks by French and Ameri- can troops on the western front, and bus mess was more active in the last half hour, although it's volume was at no time large.
