FLEECY STAPLE
 TRENDS UPWARD General List Closed Firm, 93 to 11S Points Net
 Higher

New York, August 16.-The cotton
 market showed increases strength dur
 ing today's trading. October contracts
 were relatively firm, selling up to 31.5Se, or III points net higher, while active months generally sold 100 to 1o4
 points above last nights final figures. October closed at 31 ,53c, with the gem eral list closing firm at a net advance of 93 to 11s points.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to an advance of & points and was comparatively quiet
 during the early trading Some seat tered realizing and a little southern selling was very quickly absorbed, however, and before the end of the first hour active months were 25 to 43 points higher. This drought out enough realizing to cause reactions of several
 points during the middle of the day. but the market firmed up again later with business becoming much more ac- tive. It seemed that the weather news was a distinct disappointment to recent sellers.
 l No further showers were reported in Texas with the weather clear this
 morning while temperatures appeared | to be rising in the eastern belt, sug- | gest the probability of loss of less | favorable reports from that section. | There was also covering on the failure l of hedge selling to develop on a more l important scale, and houses with his l foreign trade connections were among l the buyers December sold at 30.90c and January at 30.S5s in the late trading, | and the close was only shade off from i the best. No further private condition jfgures were issued, but the details of one of yesterdays reports were pub lished pointed to a crop indication of l12, 2,900,000 bales. It was reported that the British shipping board had allotted ocean freight room for 160,000 for Sep tember shipment. This compared un- Ifavorably with the allotment of 2S0.000 bales for the same month last year, but
 was considered encouraging as com Ipared with recent figures

from 93 to 11s points above last nights final figures. Stop orders were uncov- cred on the early advance. After their execution trading was less active and prices sagged off under realizing, with October reacting to 30. roc, and January to soc shortly after midday, or about 10 to 20 points from the best. The mar lSet firmed up again during the early aft ernoon. The failure of offerings to in- crease as prices sagged from the early high level was evidently disappointment to early sellers and there may have been soine buying on reports that the Brit ish shipping board had allotted ocean freight room for 16O, 900 bales for shipment during August. Texas reported no more showers, with the temperature rising in the eastern belt.
 Unfayorable and bullish crop reports on corn offset improved weather condi- tions in the best The list closed unset tied, 1sc to 1ac net lower. Oats were stronger, 1c to 11sc up, while the pro- vision list went off 12c to a5c.

improvement has been reported in do- mestic trade demand, houses with for eign connections have been among the buyers.
 Liverpool interests, in particular. are said to have been rendered uneasy by the situation in the southwest, where they usually secure the bulk of their early requirements. Today's weather reports showed a renewal of clear weather in that section and private reports have increased apprehensions that the next government figures will show further sharp reduction in crop prospects. One of these reports made the condition 67.2 per cent. compared with 7S.8 per cent toward the end of July, thus indicating a deterioration of over II points for the half month, compared with the average falling off of about 6 6 points for the past month.
 The British shipping board has al- lotted shipping freight room amount Ing to 160.000 bales for sailing.

Sugar Market

New York, August 16.-There was no change in the local raw sugar market, with prices at 4965c for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 6.065c for centrifugal. During the past week trading was not particularly active and today the com mittee reported purchases of 120O bags of Cubas and $500 Porto Ricos.
 Otherwise there were only two new features in the market during the week, one being the exercising of it's option to participate in the remaining old crop of Cuban supplies by the international com mittee, and the press reports stating that arrangements had been made for the shipment of 10000 tons of sugar from Java in the 70 Dutch shipments now lying idle in East Indian ports.
 In refined io confirma tion has been received yet of the proposed increase in the refiners' margin of profits. although 1t is expected at any time. Business during the week was only of moderate proportion and prices are unchanged at 7.5Oc for fine granulated.

Over s. R. Stewards Wire

New Orleans, August 16.-The feature in the market at the start were the weather outlook and efforts on the part of the trade to stop the advance. Tho sharp advance in cotton was brought about by the disastrous change in the crop outlook inside of few weeks, ow- ing to severe drouth and heat, while con- suming interests had largely laid their lines on the initial crop outlook repre- sented by the high May bureau condition and consequent expectation of a large crop. Such drastic change from 15,5cO.- 600 to perhaps as low as Il 100000 has never before occurred, and it is only the already elevated level of prices gener- ally which prevented |. more drastic ex- pression in the markets.
 The map shows generally cloudy over the northwestern portion of the belt, some light precipitation locally in northwest Texas. Arkansas and more general rains in the Carolinas, Georgia coast districts Temperatures are getting more moderate. Rains may hold off for while, but indi : cations today are still stronger to show. CTS and cooler weather in the near fu- ture. The outlines of storm are show ing up over southern Florida. but these seems enough. pressure over the mainland to hold 1t out.
