GOOD CROP NEWS
 HELPS THE BEARS
Corn Goes Down, While Oats and Provisions Both Bet
 ter Their Positions

Chicago. July 17.-Better crop con- wheat premiums were almost a thing of the past, exercised a bearish influ- ence today on corn. The market closed nervous 9ic to ! l4c net lower. with Au- gust sl.6O to sl.GO& and September St.cO1s to St.6oh Oats gained half to one cent and provisions shade to 45 cents
 Good rains over Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and parts of Missouri inspired general selling at the outset in the corn market, and although a strong rally ensued. fresh selling pres sure developed and carried prices downward again most of the time the rest of the day The temporary up- turn was ascribed to advices indicat- ing that shipments from the country would be sharply curtailed. On the other hand, much notice was taken of the fact that No. red winter wheat was now selling here at the govern ment guaranteed minimum, and that millers refused to pay more. In this connection 1t was said that the south west, where the wheat harvest has been finished, led the late selling of corn.
 Wet weather delays to cutting and threshing gave strength to oats. There were also bullish crop reports from North Dakota and Canada.
 Covering by shorts made provts slons firm. Offerings were scarce.

New Orleans Cnttnn

New Orleans, July 17.-unfavorable crop accounts put cotton up rather strongly today, the most active months in the contract market gaining nearly half cent a pound. An undertone of firmness attended the trading, which was not at all large in volume. Around the opening the market was unsettled for short period but it soon encount- cred a good demand which persisted to the close.
 On the first call the active months were to g points up. but enough sell ing developed soon after to put the full months 1 to points under yesterday, s close. This soft spot brought out new buying. in anticipation of bullish bu- reau reports for the week, and values rose until they were about 15 points up. net. After the weekly crop ac- counts at 10 o'clock. which were gem erally called more bullish than exrect- ed because of their mention of drouth and temperature departues. a buying wave set in and was still being felt on the close. Highest prices were reached late in the session, when the trading months were 42 to 47 points over yes- terdays last quotations. The close was 20 to 35 points up, net

WALL STREET STILL
 HAS EAR ID WAR
Steel Makes Decline of 1 IA Points, But Later Re
 trieves Part of Loss

New York, July 17.-The stock market today kept pace with the latest aspects of the war situation. Advices from the western front occasioned moderate sell ing of long holdings and intermittent bear pressure, but the reaction made rel atively little headway.
 Domestic financial developments were distinctly reassuring. the rapid sale of the $50 900 Bethlehem Steel note issue affording evidence of sound investment inquiry for high-grade securities.
 Reduction of the Pittsburg. Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis railroad dividend was not regarded as sympathetic of a general rea1road condition, the cut, ac- cording to the directors, resulting from technical rather than actual reasons.
 Sumatra Tobacco, which rivalled Unit ed States Steel in point of activity, was again one of the noteworthy features of the general list. The stock fluctuated violently within an S-point radius and closed at loss of 5ts.
 United States Steels extreme break of 1A points was halfway retrieved later and related issues finished for the most part at nominal recessions.
 Motors and subsidiaries were Tn de- mand toward the end at average gains or l point, and minor metals, including low priced mining issues, owed thelr gains or l to points to the activity of pools.
 Rails were in the background through out the session, even Reading showing unusual apathy at a net loss of a large fraction and shippings lost part of their recent gains.
 International issues were the firmest features of the bond list, the Liberty group being barely steady. Total sales, par value, aggregated &,250,Oo0. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

STRENGTH OF NEAR
 MONTHS FEATURED
There Were Reports of Crop Deterioration Being of a
 Serious Nature

New York. July 1.-The strength of near positions and more serious reports of crop deterioration led to more act i've covering in the cotton market to- day and a sharp advance in prices. october contracts sold up firm 24.9Oc to 25.45c. and closed at 25.30c, with the general list closing barely steady at a net gain of 22 to 55 points. July was relatively firm, selling at 2S.75c. figures and at the highest level touched since the break to 28.O5c for that position toward the end of last May.
 The market opened barely steady at an advance of 35 points for July. but generally to points lower under scattered selling which carried the new crop months some ' to 12 points net lower right after the call These of ferings were checked by the strength of July, however. and the market soon firmed up on reports that deterio- ration was becoming moro rapid in Texas, and that the drouthy area was increasing. Covering became still more active after the publication of the weekly weather report, which read more bullishly than expected, and there was also trade buying In advance. Near months were relatively firm. with talk of & large short interest in Cc- toher with the probability of an in- creased premium over later deliveries and that position sold 4S points net higher, while December advanced to a4.75c, or 49 points above last night s close.
 Realizing checked the advance at this level and there was some New Orleans selling in the late trading, with the close showing reactions of some 10 to 15 points from the best on the more active position. July held well up to the high point, showing d premium of between 340 and $50 points over October at times during the day. The weekly report of the weather bureau indicated that the ab- sence of rain over the belt with high temperatures in Texas and low temper atures in some other sections had made conditions unfaVorable for the rapid development of the crop during the week

Washington, July 1.-The continues absence of rainfall throughout nearly the whole Of the cotton belt together with excessive temperatures in Texas and cool weather in the central ard eastern portions. made conditions gen. erally unfavorable for rapid advance belt, says the national weather and crop bulletin, issued today for the week end : ing July l6.
 Cotton continued to deteriorate in cen- tral, western and southwestern Texas, where diy, hot weather persisted, but |. is still in fair to good condition north, east and coast portions of that stat. The crop is looking we'll in most parts of Oklahoma, and showers were benc- fcial Tn Arkansas, where good growth was made. Rain is needed in Louis jana, and some shedding is reports eu from Mississippi. The crop continues +, good to excellent condition east of the Mississippi river. but growth was un- satisfactory in much of Georgia on ac- count of the cool nights, which was also the case in the Carolinas. The contin- ued dry weather, however, was benefi : cial in checking the activities of the boil weevil.

 The weekly report of the weather ou- reau, indicating that absence of raln' fall with excessive temperatures in Tex as and cool weather in central and east ern portions of the belt had been ur- favorable for rapid advancement of the cotton crop, led to more general buying during the middle morning.
