New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, July 17.-A decided show of strength was made by cotton today after an easy period anound the opening the main reason for the buying being the feeling that weather conditions in the belt were still unfavorable, while the low barometer over the gulf caused much un- easiness. and led to expectations of storm warnings for a portion at least of the belt. There was much discussion of the situation in foreign exchange, but after the first burst of selling was over it had little bearing on fluctuations. The opening was lower and the decline continued until it amounted to 5 to 40 points; under poor cables, the pessimis- tic reports from the foreign exchange market and the growth of the marine strike. Fresh buying of consequence was aroused by the weather news and by the feeling that the crop was not gaining very much on the percentage of condition returned for June 25 The decline was recovered and the market sent to a net advance, which finally amounted to 45 to 4S points on the most active months Closing prices were at net gains of 2 to 30 points.

TRADERS IN COTTON COULD NOT HOLD
 DOWNWARD SLUMP
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 5 to
 30 Points Over Wednes- days Close
By Associated Press

New York, July 17.-The cotton rnarLst was nervous and unsettled but afte- so,,- ing off to Ss.s6c for October, or about S4 points net lower, on the continued weaknes sof foreign exchange. nrices rallied on reports of too much rain in the eastern belt sections. October sold up to S4. Sc>or & points net bieber and closed at S4.5oc, with the eeneraI ,ist> ,,os- ing steady at net advance of 5 to 30 points.
 ihe market opened at an advance of 2 points on May, but generally s to 25 points lower in response t6 weak Liver pool cables and a favorable opinion of the early weather map
 Liquidations were active during the early trading. while there was also con. siderable selling on a belief that crop conditions were improving, and that the weakness of foreign exchange, prices prove an obstacle to fresh export busi- ness. Active months broke about s to 40 points from last nights closing figures, with January selling off to S2 roc This made decline of ITS points from the iiSn i0Soru UT last Monday, and there was buying believed to be for trade ac- count as a hedge against forward re- quirements
 Rather a better tone developed in con- sequence and covering became active after the publication of the detailed weather reports showing more heavy and general precipitation in tbe~Carolnas and Alabama than expected. Reports that mill owners at Fall River had threat Al 4r~ry ,Ix, I be strike in any one mill caused some irregularity during the afternoon, but after showing a net advance of s to fl points on the active months with January selling at 54.45c, the market was fairly steady in the late trading

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 1.-The rainfall as shown by the details covered all parts of the Carolinas and Georgia and there were showers in Alabama, Louisiana, Missis- sippi. Arkansas and Oklahoma. In the latter state temperatures were much lower, probably averaging 10 degrees lower than those of the early week. The market was dull, but very steady during the early afternoon. buying of October by two brokers, one of them believed to be operating for Japanese interests was largely responsible for the advance %o< 24.65c. This bulge was followed by moderate reactions. but the tone of the market was steady, with October holding around s4.6oc shortly after o'clock. Ex- ports today were 14339 bales, including Il ,Ses to Great Britain and 247o to the continent-Post & Flagg.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July T.-(Special.)-The mar ket this morning. after some hesitation at the opening. recovered part of yes- terday's decline. Sterling exchange again made new low records, but it is under stood that arrangements are being made to form some sort of bankers commit tee to regulate the market. This news. together with rains in the boil weevil section of Georgia and Alabama, brought a recovery In our market after October had touched Ac. There was moderate trade demand, and Liverpool bought early, presumably against anticipated imports. The local feeling is still bullish but the easier securities market checked the recovery in our market during the afternoon The market has had fair liquidation and Is likely to be steadier un- less there is another decline in exchange sufficient to again disturb exports.

London Exchange Drops
By Associated Pre-

NsSVlIaItu
 New York, July 17-EXchange on London underwent another violent change today. demand bills falling to 4.26& and cables 4.2S%, or 3 to cents under yesterdays figures, the lowest ever on record. Francs also suffered further depreciation with demand at 7.20 and cables at 7.fs. The Italian rate was lower and quotations to Holland and other north European centers were again unsettled
 International bankers were of the opinion today that a further break in sterling would soon cause British bank CTS to ship gold to this country. So far as it is known in international financial circles the British govern ment does not contemplate a resumption of it's stabilixing methods which served to regulate exchange on London up to last March

WALL STREET SEES VIOLENT DOWNWARD
 SHIFT AT THE CLOSE
Most All Call Loans Were at 6 Per Cent, But Were Shaded at Times for
 Best Securities
By Associated Press

New York, July T.-Stocks were strong at the opening of todays active trading making further variable gains during the relatively dull mid session, but broke with considerable violence toward the close, when numerous substantial gains were replaced by net losses. The re- versa1 lacked definite explanation in au- thoritative quarters, but rumors were cur rent during the day that the financial powers, aided by the federal reserve board, intend to issue another warning against excessive speculation.
 Much of the days news was decidedly favorable to the long account. embrac- ing further advices of expansion in the steel industry, higher prices for copper and allied metals and comparatively easy rates for call money.
 There was also a pronounced readjust- ment of the foreign exchange situation. but not until rates on London had fallen to new minimum with further weakness in remittance to Paris and additional depreciation of neutral exchange.
 Speculative interest continued to re- | volve around the oils, motors and the { various commodity shares which have made up the bulk of recent operations. To these were added several of the minor or reorganzed railways, Missouri, Kan sas and Texas common and preferred, for instance, taking the place of other western and southwestern issues. ~ Equipments also contributed apprecia- bly, to the broader dealings, their early activity and strength being concurrent with reports that large domestic and for eign contracts are soon to be awarded Coppers made little headway, although heavy exports of that staple are said to be in process of negotiation
 Most of todays call loans were made a. 6 per cent, although this was shaded at times for the better class of col lateral. but time. funds held at per cent for all dates.
 Liberty bonds were firm and foreign issues steadied, but rails and industrials were slightly irregular. Total sales, par value, aggregated $l1,s5oo0o. Old United States bonds were unaltered on call
