based on the persistent drouth oyer the belt, the growing seriousness of com plaints from Texas and fear that the weekly crop accounts from the govern ment tomorrow would be more unfavor- able. probably more unfavorable than any week since the growing season really started. It took only small buying to put prices up. At the best of the session the market was 24 to 32 points above the level of yesterdays close. The opening was Ut the advance and highest levels were reached before the middle of the day. In the early afternoon some lit tie profit taking by early buyers worked against values to a small extent, the market standing about a dollar bale up.
 The weather map was again dry and the forecast indicated little change Tn conditions over the belt generally. The daily summary from the weather bureau said of the cotton region: There was no rainfall worthy of mention" III Texas 21 weather stations reported maxi mum temperatures yesterday, ranging from 100 to 10i degrees. Private reports said that under these temperatures and the absence of moisture the crop was losing ground over wide area.

B|G RECEIPTS AND
 RAIN SEND OFF CORN
Oats and Provisions Join the List of Staples Going
 Downward

Chicago, July 1s.-Soakiug rains and big receipts did much today to weaken the corn market Although at one time prices touched new high levels for the season. the close was heavy. at 2kc to 2&c net decline, with August s1 .eo7s to a.6lA. and September s1 eO7k to s1 6lls Oats lost 12c to 1Isc. In provisions. the outcome varied from soc down to 1oc advance.
 Advices that the moisture supply had been so heavy and widespread as to be likely to head off any dry weather talk for considerable while led to general selling with the pressure most energetic around the opening and during the last half of the day. The fact that arrivals here were decidedly in excess of expec- tations and amounted to nearly 500 car loads acted also as notable >bearish fac tor.
 transient let-up in selling orders was taken advantage of by pit traders, but the bulge which ensued was soon more than wiped out by greatly increased sell ing, that lasted until the close.
 Oats were governed mainly by the ac- tion of corn. Only limited amount of hedging was done.
 Increases in the stock of ribs, whereas a reduction had been looked for weak ened provisions. Advances in the hog market were ignored.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 16.-Cotton sold at a net advance throughout the session today, responding to buying stimulated by the dry weather, which continues over the belt, and by expectations of unfavorable weekly crop and weather re- turns from the government tomorrow.
 The cheerful tone of war news also helped the market. Opening at the ad- vance, the gain was gradually widened with moderate setbaclSs around the mid- dle of the day, until the trading months were "A to 33 points above the level of yesterdays close. Last prices showed net gains of 19 to 22 points
 The weather map was dry and the forecast indicated little change in con- ditions which have been prevalent for sometime and which private reports from the interior now indicate are causing more or less damage. As usual, the trade paid more attention to Texas crop ac- counts, where serious deterioration is now reported in some counties
 Another revision in spot quotations oc- cured today and it was accepted ns favorable to contract prices, causing some buying toward the close. Grades above middiing were exchanged, while middling and below were lowered by 25 points down to low middling and by 50 points on that grade and below, resulting in putting low ordinary 13.Ssc a pound under fair, the widest spot differences ever quoted.

COTTON STARTS OFF WEAK, BUT RALLIES
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 10
 to 29 Points

New York, July 16.-A slight early decline was followed by rallies in the cotton market today, with October sell
 Ing up from 24.7sc to 24.9Sc, and clos
 ing at 24.97c, and with the general
 list closing very steady at net ad- vance of 10 to 29 points.
 There was some selling early on bearish private condition figures and talk of rain in Texas. The market opened barely steacy at an advance of 2 points on July, but generally 1 to points lower with September show ing a decline of g points. October sold off to a net loss of points riaht after the call and active months gen orally showed net losses of 13 points. The early offerings were soon absorbed, however. with the market turning firmer during the middle of the day on the failure of the weather news to show any relief from Texas di outh and reports of a demand from exporters for early new crop ship ments. After showing net advances of 6 bout 10 to IT points, prices reacted on reports that considerable new crop cotton was being offered at Houston for July and August shipment, on an easier basis, but there was another furry of covering and closing prices were within a point or two of the best. July was relatively firm, selling at 2S.2 or S2 points net higher. compared with net gains of 12 to 25 roints for later deliveries. Decem- Der touched 24. 39c and closed at 24.37c. The favorable war news probably en- couraged the buying, but the factors chiefly discussed were the continued dry, hot weather in Texas and rumors around the ring that the British gov ernnent had bought So,o00 bales os strict middling cotton for october-No- vember shipment at 500 points on Oc- tober. British buyers were also said to be inquiring for short staple cotton to be used in the manufacture Of mu- nitions. The private crop report pub lished early made the condition S3 5, a against S4.4 two weeks ago and point- ed to crop of 15,156,000 bales, exclud- ing linters.

STEEL CLOSED AT
 SUBSTANTIAL GAIN
War Front News Put Ginger Into Big Wall Street
 Traders

New York, July 16.-Important stocks made substantial recoveries today from their abrupt reversal of the previous ses- sion, the rebound resulting largely if not entirely from the very favorable tenor of supplementary war bulletins.
 The short interest which recently at tained formidable proportions. contri5- uted in considerable degree to the rally, traders hurredly covered their contracts in steels. marine and other speculative favorites.
 All the activity occurred in the first snd final hours. the market meantime pursuing dull and narrow course, with occasional nominal reactions. Final prices were mostly at the days maxi. mums, United States Steel Marine pre- ferred, tobaccos and various specialties rising spfritedly in the last b minutes.
 United States Steels best quotation or 1051a represented rally of points from it's low quotation of yesterday, that stock closing at a net gain of 21s. Kindred in- dustrials and equipments registered sim liar advances
 Marine preferred scored an extreme gain of points, it's rise being accom- panied by the usual rumors of an early completion of the deal with British in terests but other shippings were dull and unchanged.
 Rails made little headway until toward the end, wien Reading and Union Pa cific developed some activity, the former gaining 1at points.
 Motors as a. group added to the strength of the general list with tobac- cos, although Sumatra reversed it's pro- cedure of yesterday, opening strong and closing heavy.
 Liberty Bonds were steady, but other issues were irregular. Total sales par ya1,,e apyrogated S4 575 GOO Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.
