Cotton

Except for brief period of excite
ment and activity during yesterdays
early trading, the cotton market was
comparatively quiet. Prices showed q
tendency to sag off after the early
advance, but the close was steady at g
net gain Of IA to p points, with Octo-
Der selling at $500, compared with
31.70, the low point touched at the
opening, and 32.45. the early high level.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of to Is points under renewal
of the selling movement which had de-
,eloped on Wednesday. The initial Of
ferlngs were very quickly absorbed by
Liverpool buying, however. and shorts
were evidently alarmed by the con-
tinued support from that source, COM
bined with the unfavorable southwest
ern weather and the favorable war
news. Inside of ten minutes January
and October from 31.70 to 80 As, making
net advances of so to 81 points on the
active positions. 1t seemed that the
moro urgent demand was supplied on
this bulge, for the excitement sub
sided almost Immediately and prices
sagged off during the middle of the
day on private reports of rains in
Texas. Many of these reports came
from New Orleans. accompanied by
selling orders, but local traders did not
seem to be greatly impressed by the
rain news, and the market was steady
at the reaction of some 80 to As points
from the best.
The official weather news held out
little hope OF Improvement in South
western weather. According to the de-
tailed report of the Weather Bureau
there was rainfall Of 100 inches at Port
Arthur, but only light showers at four
other stations in Texas. while temper
atures continued high both in Texas
ard in Oklahoma. The western belt
forecast was dry, except for the pos
slblllty of showers in extreme West
Texas, and according to reports re-
ceived here from the Southwest the
showers Of yesterday were too light to
be beneficial in view of the high tenn
perature
Exports for the day were 1901 bales,
making 1882 so far this season.

were 6,443 bales, against 4.6S7 last

them being unchanged.

Cereals

Wheat.-The movement of wheat at
primary points is falling off somewhat
and receipts so far this week are about
million bushels behind those of last
week. Chicago reported only 275 cars
on Thursday, compared with 1900 last
week and it was thought that the
recent tremendous receipts have caused
more or less congestion. Arrivals at
the seaboard were 743, 900 bushels and
shipments were $4,000.
Permits are still unobtainable for
new business for export. and recently
there have been some temporary can
cellations of permits issued for the
ever, that the situation will improve
soon, as larger clearances are antic-
ipated.
The weather was again unsettled,
with quite heavy rains in the North
west, but the forecast was for clearing
weather, which should facilitate thrash
ing operations and hasten the move
ment of new spring wheat. Shipments
from Argentina for the week are eS-
pected to amount to about 100000
bushels. compared with 3,342 900 last
week and 1872, 1000 last year.
Corn.-There was a feverish market
in corn and, after showing early gains
Of q to lc bushel. prices reacted and
at the close were "a c higher to 12c net
lower The August position in the
West was relatively tirmer than the
late months and closed on an even
basis with September.
The Kansas state report confirmed
the recent unfavorable crop news, max
ing the condition for the entire state
only 30 per cent, compared with 75.6
per cent last month, while the in
dicated crop was placed at $500 900
bushels, or just one-half Of the last
government estimate.
There were some more favorable ad
vices from the Southwest, where it is
said the pastures are beginning to
green up, and Improvement was noted
in a number of the drouth affected
states, where the corn was not entirely
killed Clear and warm weather is now
needed in the Northwest to promote
more rapid development of the crop.

Oats-A comparatively firm under
tone prevailed in the oats market. al
tnoUSh prices were SUBJECT to reac-

situation was comparatively firm in the
West and the market still felt the in
fuence of active distribution on old
export purchases, and shipments from
the West were in excess OF the re-

larger and there was little evidence
