CORN GOING ID THE BAD IN ENTIRE BELT
Oats and Provisions Follow the Lead of Corn and
 Both Close Weak

Chicago, August 21.-rh9 corn mar ket started the day still under appre- hension as to crop conditions, and prices mounted rapidly. Kansas still needed Irain and the state meteorologist said that prospects for even a fair crop are diminishing. Commission houses and shorts bought freely. The government weekly weather review, however, found conditions improving in Illinois, Ne- braska and Iowa and in certain locali- ties southwest where there had been rains. Oats turned weak in addition, and the profit taking and short selling which ensued eliminated the advance and the close was ss e 5s c under yester- day, with October at $1.e514c.
 Oats shared the early strength of corn, but turned weak on selling which was observed to come from recent heavy purchases, particularly strong com- mission house The selling developed that the market had little buying pow CT. County offerings increased on the advance. The close was weak A @1sc c net lower with October at 74Bc.
 In the dull atmosphere of the provis- lions pit little profit taking was suf- ficient to offset demand from scattered commission houses.

Nothing in the Way Of Good News Could Induce Defi-
 nite Action

New York. August 21.-Disregardins the brilliant war news and home events or favorable import, today's stock market drifted idly in no very definite airectioh' dullness being relieved only at rare ih- tervals by relatively wide movements III speculative issues
 Traders as we'll as the more substantial members of the financial community have evidently arrived at the conclusion flat prevailing market conditions will ex- perience no material change until the next Liberty Loan has been successfully Heated.
 Apropos of that undertaking. the pres ence in this city of Secretary McAdoo was coincident with another advance in Liberty 31zs to the high record of lo2oo. This new maximum, reached on a very large turnover, compares with the year minimum of 97.20.
 Shippings were the active and strong features of the opening on vague reports of consolidation of the Nadlng Amer ican marine interests, but fell pack ap- ruptly following publication of authori- tative denials.
 Ignoring recent admonitions, pools teh. . tatiyely resumed operations in some oi the high priced specialties. such as Amer ican Hide and Leather preferred, Su matra Tobacco and General Motors al gross advances of 2 to 31s points, put motors flattened out before the close.
 Rails. steels, equipments and various ,oiscellaneous issues held within l-point areas, with a disposition to ease at the irregular close. The one striking set hack was made by Cuban-American ; Sugar. which dropped 16 points on si1 gle offering.
 The enalrged bond dealings resulted mainly from increased activity in Llp- - ar+v issues other divisions showing slieht irregularity Total sales, par value, aggregated sS,250ooO.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 21.-Nervous fluc- tations, with the general tendency down. ward resulted from the trading today III cotton. Bearlsh traders were still work ing for a reaction from the long advance and were, in some measure. aided by pri- vate reports Of rains in Texas and by the slightly less unfavorable weekly crop accounts than expected from the govsrn ment There were also reports of an easier spot basis. and freer offerings, both in Texas and the Atlantics, but this in : fltence was offset to a great extent by the rise ot l25 points on middling spots heye. The net change for the sess.on was a loss of 20 to 25 points.
 On the oreEing the market was lower because of reports of showers in Texas. Around the first call prices lost F to Is points. A little later this loss was recov cred and the market moved up to a net advance of about 10 points on expecta tions of buIlish weekly crop returns While these returns, which came in at 10 o'clock, were generally called bulllsh, they were not quite so bullish as most traders anticipated. Following them the market became very nervous, at one time being Il to 16 points over yesterdays close and a. another 29 to 8 points under. Late in the day moderate selling pressure was felt.

October Futures Go Up and
 Down, Finally Closing Steadier at 31.79c

New York, August 21.-The cotton mar ket showed continued nervousness and ir- regularity today, but the fluctuations were less violent and the volume of business was comparatively small. After selling up from 31 75c to 8. PC, October broke to 31 .63c and closed at .79e, with the general list closing barely steady at a net decline of "A to 35 points.
 The market opened steady at decline of F to IS points on private reports of further showers in Texas and relatively nections were good buyers around 31 35c for December and 3l .2ec for January, however, and the market soon firmed uo on covering in anticipation of bullish weekly weather report. Before the end of the first hour December had sold at 31 roc and January at 31 Bic with active months generally showing net advances of r to 20 points. There was realizing at this level. and while the weekly report of the weather bureau proved quite as bu1lish as expected, it seemed the signal for increased realizing. Prices weakened in consequence, while there was also some selling by spot houses accompanied by reports of d continued slack demand from spinners. There was also talk of steadily increasing new crop move ment with predictions of more active hedging. and the market was quite weak during the early afternoon with Decem- Der selling off to a1.l5c and with Janu- ary to 31 .04, and with active months gen erally showing net losses of B to 40 points Sellers found no encouragement in the later weather and crop news as the detailed reports showed showers at
 r1ax n Oklahoma, with continued high tempera- lures in both states Last prices showed rallies of 10 to IS points on coverings.
 According to private cables Mancheste er and continental interests have been buy ing in Liverpool and houses with Eng lish connections were among the chief early buyers.
