Montgomery, July 11.-(Special)-Wal- lace P. Pruitt of Chatom, Washing ton county notified the secretary of state today that he had become a can didate for associate justice of Ala bama supreme court.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July l1.-Weather condi- tions over the belt ruled the cotton mar ket today and brought about moderately wide advances after declines in the early session. The dry weather over Texas and the forecast of fair weather for that state together with the high temper;l- lures prevailing there were the main reasons for the buying pressure of the day. Highes, prices came in the early afternoon, when the trading months were 26 to 31 points over yesterdays close. The close showed net gains of to 70 points.
 Momantarily, on the opening, Decem- Der was 4 points up, but the market soon slid off under private forecasts of rain for tho bell, including Texas. These pre- dictions attracted much attention for d while. and stimulated enough selling to put pdices 2I to 26 points below yester- days final quotations. The official re- turns, showing very high maximum tem- peratures ir Texas. These predictions attracted much attention for a while ana stimulated enough selling to put prices 21 to 2G points below yesterdays final ouotations The official returns, show ing very high maximum temperatures n Texas, caused nervousness among early sellers and finally private views On weather conditions werelost sight of and the market recovered its loss and went to net advance.
 Private bureau returns showing loss of 3 points in condition in Texas during tie last fortnight and a loss of l point on the crop as a whole, at S5.5 per cent oI the normal were considered bullish and helped the market at the advance.

RECORD PRICES ARE
 REACHED IN GRAIN
Corn Jumps 2 7-Sc to 4 5-Sc, With Oats and Provisions
 Both in Sympathy

Chicago, July u.-Highest prices yet for grain this season resulted today to 8 considerable degree from good milling and shipping demand. Corn closed strong, 27sQ45sc net higher with August $l.592sQ1591a and September s1.59B@ l-59A. Oats gained A111ac and provisions 5Oc.
 Corn traders seemed to be much im- pressed with indications that there would be free use of substitutes for wheat. and especially with the fact that milling in- terests were competing sharply for good corn. It was said Canadian millers Tn and had forced prices of top grades or that kind up to s2.15 bushel, despite rather liberal receipts. Notice was also taken that eastern shipping call has been continuous the last few days. Buliish sentiment received emphasis also. from government and state weekly croPsre- ports, pointing to widespread need ot rain and of warmer weather. Notw1th- standing that beneficial showers had fallen in a number of places west and southwest, prices showed no important reaction
 Dry weather reports from western Can ada had bullish effect on oats. Re- ceipts, however, were liberal and sea- board sales only moderate.
 Provisions rose with grain and hogs Realizing sales tended somewhat to check the bulge.

Over ". E. Campbetps Wire

New Orleans, July u.-An initial dc. cline in cotton today was succeeded by a very steady market and a moderate net advance on continued dry and hot weather in Texas and the growing fear that the possibility was increasing that Texas conditions might spread over other SC ctions of .he belt. Private reports from Texas generally were unfavorable, the weather may was dry over the greater portion of the remainder of the cotton region and the forecast called for gencr- ally dry weather except for local show CTS in Georgia Alabama and Mississippi.
 In tl.e carly trading prices were forced 2l to 26 points under the close yesterday, chiefly as the result of selling inspired by rrivate forecasts of rain for Texas and the belt generally. As the effect of these private reports fell off, the market commenced to respond to the reports coming in frcm Texas. Detailed returns to the weather bureau noted maximum temperatures at 2S weather stations ranging from 100 to no degrees. The National Ginners association came OBI with condition figures of the belt S5,S per cent Of the normal, against S6.5 fortnight ago, and showing loss Tn Texas during that period of 3 points. Tie decline was recovered and was re- placed at the middle of the day by an advance of 24 to H points over yesterdays close.

Sugar Market
Coffee Market

New York, July 11.-Press advices re- porting receipt of cables from the United States consul at Sac Paulo to the effect that unusual freezing temperatures had ruined young coffee plantations, and probably reduced the production of old plantations by 50 per cent, were followed by sharp advance in the market for coffee futures here today. Similar re- ports had been received here from private sources some days ago, and had been colored by the strength of primary mar kets, but did not seem to have been generally credited, and today's advices evidently created fresh buying interest. The market opened at an advance of to 10 points, and closed 23 to 26 points net higher, with September selling at 86oc and March at 9c. Closing bids: July, s.3Sc; September, S.59c; October, S.66c; Decem- Der, S.S0c; January, S.S6c; March, 9c; May. 9.15c.

 The market opened barely steady at an advance Of IS points on July, which was influenced by the absence of notices, but generally 16 to 26 points lower Private reports of rain in Oklahoma seemed to in- spire hope of a break in the Texas drouth and there was considerable sei- ing rigur after the call, under which July soon broke to 2 55c and october to 24.45c, while December sold off to 2S. 75c, or 26 to 20 points net lower. Offerings were well absorbed at this level, how ever, and rallies followed the publication of the western belt forecast for generally clear weather in Texas. Covering be- came more active on the detailed weather report, showing showers at only 3 points in the Houston district with maximum temperatures of 100 degrees, or over, at 3S stations, and new crop months reached the highest prices of the day in the late trading.

Over R. S. Stewart & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, July u.--There was no rain of consequence in the west overnight and the map this morning shows the droutn and heat spell continuing over Texas with temperatures still rising. Arkansas had rather general light show CTS which extended to the eastern edge of Oklahoma. Generally cloudy weather prevailed over the eastern half of the belt with few scattered rains and tenn peratures still below normal over the northeastern quarter of the belt.
 Indications are for partly cloudy to fair in the western half with the possi- bility of some light scattered precipita- ton over the northeastern portion of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, but net enough to change the drouth situation.
 Cloudy, showery weather is indicated east of the river. Our market opened about 10 points lower and declined ID more in the early trading in sympathy with New York; from where selling was reported on prospects of showers west. The market, however, soon went on the major situation of declining crop pros- poets with absence of relief in the wes. and rallied to 23.50c for October It was reported that the national ginners make the condition for the half month s5.o, against S6.7 on June "A, and gives the Texas condition 8 points lower. This suggests a greater decline in the belt av- craze on July 9 if the drouth in the west is not relieved shortly.
 The war industries board makes tho statement that fixed prices on cotton to producers are not contemplated by the government. Dry goods reports continlla bulllsh Census consumption report for June is expected Monday. It compares with 5740oO last year and the National Ginners says it is only around 507,Ooo this year. Shortage of labor and suspense ovor price fixing may account for the cur tailment.-Jolln F. Clark & Co.,

New York, July 1.-Stocks were heavily liquidated in the initial period of to- days session, movement being provoked by overnight reports that some of the more important equipment and munitions companies had applied to the federal gov ernment for financial aid. These reports had their origin in the fact that the bankers comprising the Bethlehem Steel 50,O00,00O note syndicate had requested the war finance corporation to furnish s20, OOOOO of that issue in event of their inability to market the entire amount
 Selling naturally concentrated in issues of that division, United States Steel be- ing offered in very large quantities at an extreme reversal of 215 points. Beth lehem ''A' stock reacted 55s points and the ''B' or non-vodng stock broke Z points.
 Other severe losses, few of which were slightly retrieved, included Crucibie Steel, Republic Iron, Pressed Steel Car, Baldwin Locomotive, General Motors and shippings at gross recessions of to points. Among issues of less definite character, such as oil, leather, distillers, Industrial Alcohol, tobaccos and Peopies 5 Gas, reactions ranged from to points. Royal Dutch Oil displaying especial weakness.
 Rails withstood the pressure better than any ether group, losses among such representative shares as Reading, Union Pacific and grangers being limited to or 1l@ points.
 Foreign news, including the Bank ot Englands weekly statement, was main'y favorable, but played no part in the day events.

day. Reports of continued drouth and high temperatures in Texas stimulated the market later and the general list closed steady at q net advance of Il to 2S points, The early afternoon advance extended to 24.7Sc for October, and 24.26c for December, or 2 to 25 points net higher on apprehensions of increasingly rapid crop deterioration in Texas, as result of the continued dry weather. There was realizing enough to check the advance at these prices and cause slight reactions, but the market was steady around ? o'clock. One southern author ity placed the condition figure at S5.5
 Good milling and shipping demand of grain sent prices to a seasons record in the grain pit yesterady. Corn made an extreme gam of 27sc to 4ssc net, while oats went up to the tune of 1sc to 1ac. Tho trend of provisions was upward with grain and hogs Realizing sales helped 1 check the bulge.
