When Germany has complied with

Senator Smith said. Cotton in in

Because of the fact that India's
cotton crop this year was sufficient

ious to get cotton from the United
States. Japan's needs are estimated
at 100000 bales.
Stocks of cotton in the south now
are said TO exceed 1O0,OUo bales. 1t
was because of this fact that south

a recent conference decided to ask
the War Trade Board and other
government agencies TO modify the

Also was brought to the attention
Of the President.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 COTTON MARKET

New York, August 9.-The action of the cotton market during the past week has reflected the reduction in crop esti- mates and the very encouraging charac- ter of the war news After selling nearly cents a popund above the prices prevait~ ing just before the publication of the gov- ernment's crop report at the beginning of the moath the market met a good deal of realizing. Offerings were well taken on set back to 1S0 to 19S points. and a good palt of the loss was recorded to. ward the enc of the week on reports that Texas showers had been insufficient.
 There was some buying during tho earlier part of the week attributed to foreign trades interests but otherwise support from trade sources was not much in evidence, and the volume of business was comparative light, notwithstanding the big fluctuations in prices. The talk of increasing new crop receipts and an carrier spot basis, however, has not been accompanied by the appearance of hedge selling on any important scale.
 Reports published during the week showing smaller losses of British tonnage due to U-hoats during July than June and Q continued rapid increase in .he construction of new tonnage throughout the world, probably helped the tone Of the market. The war news operated in much the same direction, but advances have been most generally attributed to the fear of a further reduction in crop estimates through the continued drouth in the southwest and probably damage by boil weevil in eastern belt sections.

ADJUSTMENTS
At Loew's Biiou

Another strong bill at Loew's for the last half of the week ends today with four vaudeville performance. Charles Gibbs, the well known mimic of vaude- vile, is the headline attraction. His act was well received by the audience.
 Rose and Thorn open the bill with a song and dance act. William Stuart and company give a 15-minute sketch, which is good. It lacks the dullness of most sketches and gets over with pep to spare White and West also have a song and dance act, in which the women has several changes of costume. The dancing Tyrells close the bill with some difficult steps in the latest dances.
 Carlyle Blackwell in 'The Beloved Blackmailer, is the feature film attrac- ton, and like all of the efforts of this star, the production is good. The usual news pictures are shown.

 The drivers of motor trucks and lor- ries are charging parties of Germans here and there, scattering them or run ming them to earth
