New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 13.--While the cot ton market had tendency to react Tn the early trading today, and again in the early part of the afternoon there were important advances and toward the close decided strength was displayed so at that the highest, most active months were 65 to 7l points above the level oi yesterdays close Last prices showed net gains of 51 to 65 points, Unfavor. able crop accounts were the main feature encouraging buyers.
 On the oIenng call prices were up and the advance continued unti lit amounted to 9 to T points Here heavy selling was met which caused a downward movement. On this decline the lowest levels of the day were made, the trading months working 5 to P points under yes terday's final prices. Private reports of extensive crop damage in Texas and Oklahoma through drouth and heat wera circulated and created a. widespread de mand on the decline. Buying was also stimulated by private bureau reports 1n condition for the half month, one of which estin sted the percentage at only 66.4 and another at 69.6. The decline was recovered and a net advance established which was maintained to the close.

Over S. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans. August 13.-ILiverpoo made radical adjustment in the basis today, advancing about 40 points on ru- lures and quoting spots about 40 down. The spot quotation at one time today was only TO points over October futures, whereas in the past the premium went at times over 2d. This adjustment in the basis had to come with the ap- proach of the new supply. It is most helpful in promoting a spot demand, as spinners preferred buying the futures at the discount when it was so large. but can now work the exchange of futures for spots at reasonable differences
 While some local showers occurred over night in the west, there was no general relief and temperatures continue high. Generally fair weather and more moder- ate temperatures prevailed over the east ern states. Indications are for general cloudiness in the western and central belt, with better prospects for some pre- cipitation over the northwestern quarter oe the belt.
 Conditions on the map point strongly to disturbance of consequence in-south- eastern waters.
 
 69.6 against 75.5 at the end of July, and Southern Products company makes it 664 against 75.
 The weekly government report tomor- row is expected to be very unfavorable on the wstrn stats and may confirm private reports of shedding and increased weevil damage in the east.
 Census consumption report will be pub lished tomorrow at 9 a. m, our time, giving United States consumption during July, comparing with 53S, 600 bales last year.-John F. Clark & Co.

BUFFALO SHIPPING CORN ID CHICAGO
  This Offset All Reports of Hot Weather Received From the Belt

Chicago, August 1s-Announcement that Buffalo was shipping corn back to Chicago and Peoria owing to high prices at the two Illinois cities, today more thar offset in the corn market the eff feet of continued hot weather. Values closed weak at the same as yesterday s finish to 15sc lower. with September s1.62 @l.s2h. and October sl.6Sh@1. .ssss. Oats losl Ac to 1zQssc. Provisions made gains of shade of 20c
 It was said that distillers were getting the bulk of the corn sent back from Buffalo. One dealer alone was said to have shipped 24 carloads to Peoria. Re- ports of scattered rains in Nebraska and Kansas tended also to give the bears an advantage in the last hour of the session. Previous to that time the mar ket had shown decided strength as a result of further excessive heat and be- cause of lack of adequate moisture. When unloading was attempted on a large scale no aggressive support was shown.
 Oats remained lower Hedging was much in evidence. Besides, threshing re- ports indicated good yields except where drouth had done damage. Buying on the part of houses with stockyard con nections lifted provisions. The demand though, was not of an urgent sort

M|DMONTHF FIGURES
 BAD FOR COTTON
As a Result List Advanced From 50 to 112 Points
 on the Day

New York, August 1s.-Low midmonth condition figures. suggesting the possi- bility of another reduction in crop es- tion and reports of a steadier spot basis in the southwest, led to the recov- cry of yesterdays losses in today's cotton market. December contracts sold up from 2S.76c to 29.66c, or more than $3 per bale above last nights final quotation. and closed at 296oc, with the general list closing firm at an advance of 50 to e7 points on all months except September, which was n2 points higher.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 20 to 57 points on unexpectedly strong Liverpool contracts and buying by houses with English trade connec- tions. There was considerable cotton for sale on the advance, particularly by trade interests which suggested hedging against the increased new crop offerings reported from the southwest late yester- day.
 The market was steadied on compara- tive reactions and buIlish private crop reports. but broke again late in the morn ing on private reports of rains in Texas. October sold off from soc to 2935c, and January from 29.25c to 2S.eSc with active months showing net losses of IS to ss points, but the market firmed up again after the publication of the detailed weather report showing precipitation at only five stations in Texas
 There was also buying on a private crop report making the condition only 6S.4, compared with the end of July fig ures of 75. and later in the afternoon covering became more active on reports that Texas offerings were small with the basis showing some Improvement Octo- Der sold up to 30.16c and January to 2s.5sc. with last prices only a few points off from the best under realizing. It was rumored that one of the private made the condition 69.6, com pairing with 75.5 last month. No exports today.
