Over w. E. CamnbeIrs Wire

New Orleans, August 19.-Wide fluctu- ations occurred in cotton today, the mar ket being bought heavily in the early hours on continued unfavorable crop ac- counts from the western belt, while the afternoon brought a violent reaction, which was entirely logical and natural, after the advancing markets Of late. day on the most active months there was drop of 1SS to 143 points.
 On the opening the market tried hard to react, but lost only IS to 8 points, when heavy buying set in, the decline was wiped out and replaced by q net rise, which was rapidly widened until 1t amounted to 59 to 67 points Realizing checked the upward trend and in the aft ernoon the market traded down to net to 84 points.
 Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana sent in very poor crop reports during the morning strengthening the idea that the weekly reports from government Wednes- day will be bullish and intensifying bull ish opinion regarding the condition re. port to August g. The official forecast for Tuesday called for fair weather in the western belt over Sunday It looked as if the final week of the August con- dition report will be in keeping with the be expected in such markets as these, but we do not see how any permanent downward movement can be sustained.
 Last prices showed net losses for the day of 23 to 55 points-Shepard & Chuck.

CORN GIVES WAY ID
 PROVISION LIST
Board of Trade Registers Gains in Pork, Lard
 and Ribs

Chicago, August 19.-Activity and strength of provisions was the fea- ture of board of trade business today. Pork futures registered net gains of 40 to 50 cents; lard Is to 171a cents and ribs 71s to 40 cents. The trade was impressed by an advance in live hogs at the stock yards, where a $20 top was registered. Another factor were the export figures on lard and meats, which, while smaller than last weeks, were larger than a year ago at this period. shorts were free buyers and the demand from packers moderately active October lard closed at 26.S25ac and October ribs at 24 95c.
 There was nothing in corn crop re- ports today to excite trade, and al- though the range of prices embraced 1Ac, the transactions were local in character and unimpressive in volume. An easy tone at the outset was limited for time by the strength of oats and provisions, but the close found prices practically where they had started. Sep- tember closed ssc lower at 161 7s.
 Oats were fairly active, but failed to maintain an early advance. At the opening the trade was disposed to re- gard oats as cheap compared with corn, but on the advance cash houses sold September. There was considerable changing, too, to the deferred delivery at about hc difference. Shippers were buyers in the sample market, but there was scarcely a nibble from the sea- board. September closed 1s O 4 c higher CT at 707sc

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, August 19.-Although Fluctuations were unusually wide in cot ton today, the net change for the day. The highest trading for the active months were s7 to- sS points over Saturdays close and at the lowest they were 16 to S9 points under From the highest to the lowest there was a drop of 13s to 143 points on the most active months. The decline was in the nature of reaction from recent advances and was caused chiefly by the heavy profit taking opera tions by the long side following the strong bulge of the early hours.
 On the opening the market was of showing something of reaction. For a few minutes the downward trend was maintained and prices were forced IS to 39 points under the last quotations of Saturday Fresh buying was stimulated by very unfavorable crop accounts from Loui siana, Texas and Oklahoma and the demand quickly grew to large enough proportions to sweep the market bare of offerings. As prices responded to this state of affairs, longs went to realiz- ing and this finally became the most inn nortant influence at work. Toward the efd of the session new buying was again felt. steadiness was acquired and prices made material recovery from the low est of the day.

Over S. R. Stewards Wire

New Oreans, August 19.-The most inn portant development over Sunday was that precipitation occurred rather generr ally ovsr the central and eastern states and temperatures were lower, which re. moves the danger of drouth damage in that territory. Most of the late exc.ta- ment in the market was due to reports of excessive shedding and drouth com plaints from the eastern states, which are relied upon to sustain the outlook for a moderate crop, as the western states are abont given up as hopeless. Some rain occurred in the northwestern DOT ton of the belt, but in general the west ern situation is unchanged. Parties re. turning from the eastern states say the crop there still looks quite promising and will holi up with timely showers. The map indicates generally cloudy, showery weather with good prospects for show CTS. cooler weather, extending also to the west
 Our market opened 2 to 40 points down on realizing orders, which had accim ulated over Sunday, and selling on im- proyed weather conditions and prospects. sDisposition is in favor of more conserva- five action because of weakened techni- cal conditions and premium of futures over spo.s.-J ohm F.

OCTOBER COTTON
 HITS NEW LEVELS
Sells Up to 33.10c, or S3 Per
 Bale Above Saturdays
 Closing Figures

New York, August 19.-There were vio-
 lent fluctuations in the cotton market
 today. Prices made new high records
 during the early trading. with October
 selling at 33.l0c, or more than $ per
 bale above Saturdays closing figures, and
 approximately Sh cents per pound above the low level Of August 1. Demand then tapered off, however, and there was heavy realizing, which sent prices back to 3l.Soc, or 1s0 points from the high level of the morning and 6S points net lower. Stop orders were uncovered and after their explorations, the market firmed UT again. with Gatober closing at 3s45e
 and with the general list closing firm at
 net decline of only 3 to 20 points.
 The market had a small, irregular open ing, being sS points higher on Novem- Der and 2 points lower to points higher on later months. Early realizing sales
 were quickly absorbed, with Liverpool a buyer while the continued reports of 1 crop deterioration in the southwest | seemed to be bringing in some trade buy 1 ing. Southern mills were mentioned par 1 ticularly in this connection, which, With 1 the absence of hedge selling, probably | stimulated the demand from shorts. De- cember soon sold up to 32.70c, and Jan 1 uary to 32Goc, with active months gen. erally showing net advances of 6O to 6S points. The more urgent demand ap- peared to have been supplied at this I level, and when the extremely bullish
 detailed weather reports for Texas and Oklahoma failed to bring in fresh sup port, the tendency to take profits on l long cotton or to sell for reaction be-
 came more general. For a time the mar- ket seemed to be almost entirely without support, and the break was extremely rapid, extending to 3l.15c for December and 31 1Oc for January, or 130 to l55 points from the high level of the morning. and
 6 to S7 points net lower. As soon as
 the pressure subsided, however, the mar ket steadied and later recovered 65 to
 70 points of it's losses on renewal of
 Liverpool buying and covering.

 NEW HIGH RECORD
Shippings and Rails Isolated While Marine Preferred
 Made Good Gain

New York, August 19-Apart from new premium for Liberty S1ss, which rose to 101o5, and the isolated strength ot shippings ana rails, today's stock market was one of the most insignificant of the dull summer season.
 News over the week end. including the further successful offensive of the allied forces and the progress which is being made toward solution of the railroad ] contract dispute, evoked only languid re- sponse from any quarter.
 The usual leaders moved in a very con- tracted radius, United States Steel for example, varying only the smallest frac- tion until the final hour, when it mani fested firmer tone with associated ln- dustrials.
 Inquiry, for shippings seemed to have for the advantageous sale of the Mercan- tile Marine company's British assets are approaching a satisfactory conclusion
 Marine preferred scored an advance or 11a points, the common gaining substan- tial fraction and American International corporation l point on the growing rec- ognition of it's ship building operations
 Rails were featured by Canadian Pa : cific, which was unusually active at z point advance, it's subsidiary "Soo" mak- ing a similar gain. St. PauPs and New Haven held firm on signs of further ac- cumulation
 Utilities made additional recoveries from the depression which accompanied the recent acquisition of the telephone and telegraph companies by the govern ment and a few specialties ,stiHened on publication of financial reports. , The bond market was irregular, Liberty issues contributing extensively to the en- larged turn over Total sales, par value aggregated s6,T5,o0O.
