WEATHER WAS BIC FACTOR IN COTTON
 LIST YESTERDAY
Closing Tone Was Steady, With a Decline of 5 to 20 Points Under Previ-
 Ous Day
Rv Associated Press

New York, July 26.-Weather conditions largely dominated the cotton market to- day, and were responsible for most of it's fluctuations, an operating decline of 5 to 20 points, with the tone steady, was attributed to a favorable weather map as to the southwest, while subsequent ral- lies during which October advanced to B. 1oc and January to 35.17c, or a net rise of about 12 to g points was due entirely to the eastern belt forecasting more showers over Monday.
 From a bull standpoint outside of eastern belt conditions, the unfavorable report in local trade paper concern ing crop prospects in Arkansas. Louis jana, Tennessee, with probable 10-pont reduction from last month in Louisiana and the settlement of the marine strike. which has tied up shipping for the last two weeks. were the principal factors. On the other hand. bears in addition to pointing out the present high prices, which they claim discounts about all of the unfavorable crop news that has yet appeared, laid stress on the recent big Texas crop estimates by people in the trade who are supposed to have excellent facilities for obtaining crop information.
 Print cloth sales in Fall River for the week amounted to 100000 pieces and cur tailment to 90,00O pieces. Mills which are sold ahead quite generally for two or three months, are said to be experiencing difficulty in arranging for new crop supplies, particularly long staple

Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York. July 26.-Figures for the week were. bearish. especially as re- gards the export movement and the weather was considered generally fav- orable. Against this, however. was the prospect of settlement of the marine strike thus permitting a resumption of shipments and the unfavorable jour nal of commerce report of Tenn, Ark, and La. The report of large credits be- ing established here by England was also favorably commented upon.
 Sterling exchange was easier with de mand quoted at 4.34Ac. Galveston re- ported clearance of 13,000 bales. It is nervous trading market with noth- ing to suggest which of the numerous opposing influences is likely to be eff fective at any time but the rallies do not bring in a broader demand they should if a real advance is at hand and we are inclined to look for an cas- fer market pending the creation of a more extensive interest on the short side.-Post & Flagg.

New York. July 26.-Prices on many staple domestic cotton goods advanced during the week to the highest prices quoted since the civil war, and far ,bove the government fixed level of last year. Wide sheetings were advanced 70 soc a yard for 10-4 bleached pequots and Uticas, and a blue shirting cham bray sold in case lots at soc a yard. Tn 1914 the latter sold at 6Ac, and turing the fixed price period on cot on goods wide sheetings sold at 75c The print cloth and sheeting markets we're quieter and some second hand of erings were about the markets at con eessions of from 34c to kc down rom the recent top figures.
 Many lines of goods are held at value " agents and new prices are named only when at value orders are con firmed, the purpose being to restrict inc sale as much as possible to regular distributors. Colored cottons are sell ng steadily and are wanted for ex- ort in larger quantities than mills an supply them. Several lines of leached cottons were advanced during le week.

Doughboy scorns the Dot

Lucian Swift Kirtland, In Leslie s.
 When our boys came to France they were an army young in years, and they had the swagger of youth. Their very air captured the romantic imagination of the girls. but their parents and the French people were doubtful whether we were not too long on hot air The obser- vations in the home circle were no doubt discoura ging. Then came Belleau Woods and Chateau -Thierry. We told you so. said the girls, and who could deny them
 There is another side, also, which has interested the parents. The universal, ever-deviated-from French custom is for the groom to demand his dot. It is es- sential to a girls getting married at all that her parents must save until she has a sufficient dowry so that when she reaches the marriageable age she may win a husband of the proper eligibility.

New Orleans, July 26.-News and de- velopments over night were uniformly in favor of the market and the fact that selling was so aggressive at the start causing an opening decline of 15 points rather confirms yesterdays news that bear interest had come into the market on the expectation of further unfavor- able effects from the strike an indif- ferent bureau and bearish wind up of statistics for the season.

 The market made several starts to

 December, the chief new crop de- livery, showed more plainly than other months the misgivings with which corn traders viewed the adverse weather conditions Buying of December was said to be in the main for the southwest, where serious damage, if there were any. would first be likely to appear. Bulls contended that only soaking gem eral rains could avert widespread in- jury. No such downpours were yet in sight, but a forecast of local show CTS brought about some realizing sales, and toward the last made comment more or less uncertain. Then general disposition was to go slow pending weather developments over Sunday.

 Provisions were neglected. Business was of so scattering a sort that price changes had but litle real meaning.

 Evidently the American boy does not ask to be paid a dowry by girls parents for taking a wife. He seems to scorn it. He has an infinite faith that he marries for love and that he himself can earn a living for the two of them. It may be taken for granted that this makes de- cided difference i'll his popularity with the parents, who had been saving and scrimping for years for that dot The butchers daughter. for instance, may have an advertised dot of 5000 francs This makes her an heiress in her community. Along comes a Tank. He doesn't even ask question in that direction. Natur- ally the girls mother thinks very soon of how interesting it would be to have those 5000 francs to spend herself The rival French suitor finds that the pa rents encouragement is going to the Yankee.
 But it takes two to make a contract. If there is this romance on the side of the girl--a something which she was never led to expect from matrimony un- der the custom of arrangement, it must also be true that the American man is believing that he has found romance. The girl finds her hero worship fulfilled. The doughboy finds the French girl sympa- thetic and charming. I think her sympa- thetic charm is her great secret

Late in the session the market stood about unchanged compar- ed with yesterdays final prices
 Weather conditions were more fav orable on the whoIea, particularly in the western belt and the trade is now hearing from reliable people the state ment that Texas looks capable of rais- ing from four to five million bales of cotton this season, with good weather from now. while minimum estimates are not below 3.5o0,O0o.

 New Orleans, July 26.-With the main trading features in the news of the ses- sion about balancing the cotton market did not move over much ground today Small declines and small advances sue ceeded each other rapidly and the net change was insignificant, being loss of from 1 to points. There was much evening up on both sides.
 The market opened on a continuation of the selling movement of the late ses- sion of yesterday and lost 9 to 16 points. but the trade took an unfavorable view of the rains in the eastern belt and a bulish view of the settlement of the labor disputes, both in this country and in England, and enough buying resulted to put the market Il to + points higher than the close of yesterday.
 Better crop accounts from Texas caused a burst of selling toward the close and prices fell off to a net loss of to r points.
 The settlement of the marine strike was attended by an immediate increase in exports, total foreign clearances for the day from all ports amounting to aO,604 bales.

The rainfall, however was not as heavy as heretofore, and although showers are predicted for over Sunday there is some chance of better weather there. Elsewhere in the belt and partic- ularly west of the river. weather com ditions are decidedly favorable. The Journal of Commerce special report for Louisiana mentioned heavy boil weevi damage, but otherwise their report was not unfavorable.

 New Orleans, July 27.-The market was a very narrow affair from all angles. There was some rains reported in scattered sections of the eastern belt, but the west showed up much bet ter from the weather standpoint. Our private reports from all sections of the belt with exception possibly a few points in Carolinas show that the crop is making much better progress.
 There is very little to add to our last expression which we still reiterate that our friends will be able to buy cotton cheaper next week.
