GOOD WEATHER PROSPECTS PUT
 COTTON LOWER

New York, July 24.-Prospccts for clearing weather in the belt were followed by heavy realizing in the cotton market today. October de- clined from 35.72 to 34.97 and closed at 352O with the general list closing steady at a net decline of 20 to 55 points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 5 to IA points on the bet ter appearance of the Weather map, but after showing net losses of some 15 to 20 points rallied on foreign buy ing and covering. The steadier rul- ing of foreign exchange and numer- GUS crop complaints from eastern belt sections served to hold selling in check and the rally carried prices some IS to 28 points above last nights close during. the middle of the day.
 As soon as the demand from Liver pool and other foreign buyers sub- sided, the market turned easier in consequence and there seemed to be considerable selling during the after noon on expectations of a substantial reaction in advance of the govern ment report next week. January broke to 35.15 with active months generally selling some 45 to 60 points net lower.

Cotton closed steady.
New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, July 24.-A better opinion of weather conditions and a disposition to look for less unfavor- able July condition report from the government than was issued for June gave the cotton market downward tendency today.
 In the early trading prices had no decided trend but moved uncertainty with narrow limits, both above and below the level of yesterdays close. Rains in the southern portions of the belt brought in enough demand fin ally to put the market IS to 23 points over the close of yesterday The firmness did not last long as selling increased on the forecast of dry weather for the better part of the cotton region and on private con- dition report of 69.2 which was taken to point to fairly favorable show ing by the government figures to July 25.
 The advance was replaced by a net decline which late in the session amounted to 39 to 46 points. Closinf quotations showed net losses of IT to 23 points.
 Cotton closed steady at decline of IF to 23 points.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, July 24.-Corn averaged a little higher in price today owing to widespread lack of rain. The close was unsettled 1-2c net lower to 34c advance with September 1.95 3-8 to 1.95 1-2 and December l 66 3-8 to 1.66 5-S. Oats gained 1-4c to 7-8c In provisions, the outcome varies from 25c decline to rise of 5Oc.
 It was almost wholly a weather market in corn. At the outset buy ing orders predominated as result of the fact that the government map showed no rain fall any where and that the forecast was generally fair. Inasmuch, however, as no excessively high temperatures were noted, hold CTS seemed disposed to take profits whenever prices bulged. Upturns in the oats market were due largely to the difficulties of obtaining cars enough to ensure prompt movement of the crop. Besides threshing re- turns gave rise to considerable dis appointment.
 Provisions ruled dull and irregular. Commissioner houses hold lard and pork. Short were buyers of ribs.
