Bradstreet's s Review
By As.sslatsd Prsss
:. July 1S.-Bradstreets tom'

New York, July 1s-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Business momentum is so great and ce-
 mand is so heavy and SO eager that re- flection is hardly yet visible in either trade or industry of the more disturbed outlook in the labor situation. or of the further shading of estimates of earl, planted crops. notably wheat and oats Of the latter, 1t may be said that winter wheat yields have again been shaded. while drouth, scab or other troubles in the west and northwest has cut spring wheat and other crop prospects. and caused very large shipments of half ma tured cattle from Montana and North Dakota to better feeding grounds east ward. The crop situation. however. finds an almost complete balance in the much improved reports as to corn and cotton. which have contained the gains pre- yiously voted The labor situation is se- rious first, because of me practical tying up of shipping on the upper Atlantic coast holding threats oV serious interrup- tion of export trade, aiready feeling the bad effects of democratized exchange markets. and next. because the threats of a lockout of building hands at Chi cago is sign of unrest of this class of labor at . time when building con- struction the country over was % ac. tive"

Weekly Cotton Review
Rr Assseiafpd Hrs..

New York, July 1s-The upward move- ment of prices was checked when Oc- tober contracts sold at s 72c at the be ginning of the week. owing to reports of improving crop conditions, talk of in- crease spot offerings and disposition to take profits on speculative long ac- counts, Later bearish or reactionary sentiment was strengthened by the de- moralization of the foreign exchange market and the decline extended to B a5sc for October or Thursday, or 1ss points below the high level
 The absorption of offerings on A scale down was attributed largely to foreign and domestic trade buying. however, which improved the technical position of the market. and there were sharp rallies tomorrow the end of the week, on less favorable crop reports and d steadier tone in sterling exchange
 The weakness in foreign exchange rates has been indicating a condition abroad which was likely to restrict fresh buying for export, while there also has been some nervousness over possibility that the strike of marine workers would interfere with shipments. Liverpool however. bas been relatively firm and houses with Liv, erpool connections were among the mor< prominent buyers on declines, possibility as hedge against the business reportef for goods at Manchester
 It was reported that Southern spot of ferings were smaller. On the early weel advance above the 35c level, cotton wa. said to be selling above a tendera bl, basis with some of the eastern belt spo markets and the possibility of shipment here for delivery was a factor on tn, mid-week decline.
 The weekly report of the weather bu reau said the crop was improving ant was considered the best so far this sea son. while private mid-month condition reports ranging from 6s.S0 to 72, hav suggested some increase in the indicated yield since the end of June fgurea
 Most optimistic views of crop condition which were brought by reports of rasI in the belt at the end of the week wer offset partly by reports that some of tn fields were still grassy and that the boI weevils were becoming more numerous.

S. R. Stewart & Co.'s Letter

New Orleans, July 1S.-The rally in Liverpool where futures this morning were about 30 higher than due may have been on the encouraging news of the bankers agreement in New York to support foreign exchange; bullish weather news or fears of curtailed i'm portation due to exchange rates and the marine strike
 The July period for condition re- ports to Washington closes next week. Therefore if the weather during the next six days should be unfavorable. a lower condition and prospects of a bullish bureau would come into consid- era ation.
 Detailed government records show many heavy rains in the Atlantics. south, Ozark, Ala, records 4s0 inches. Many north Texas towns report rains,
 Liverpool retained most of it's gain at the opening, closing about 40 points over yesterdays close. Our market. after ranging within a limit of SO to 75 points closed steady with net gain of 90 to 95 over the previous close. October sold at its highest point 35c for the day near the close.-S R.

NEW CROP OUTLOOK CAUSES COTTON ID
 MAKE A B|G SPURT
Closing Was Strong at a Net Advance of 70 to 107 Points Over the
 Previous Day
By AssocIzfad Prexs

New York, July 1s-There was a very sharp advance in the cotton market to- day, owing to reviving nervousness over new crop prospects and the steadier tone of sterling exchange.
 October contracts sold up to $ 46c, or 96 points above last nights closing price. and closed at 8 4oc, with the general market closing strong at a net advance of 70 to 107 points.
 The market opened firm at an advance of 90 to 57 points in response to firm Liverpool cables and reports of further rains in the eastern belt. The early im- provement met considerable realizing or liquidation, which was supposed to come from western or Wall street interests that had carried the contracts over the break of Thursday morning. This caused some irregularity during the middle or the morning, when prices sold off some 9 or 35 points of the best, but there was active buying by Liverrool and also considerable demand from domestic trade sources. Offerings were absorbed on scale down by this buying. and the mar ket later became very firm on covering by recent sellers and rebuying by sold out longs.
 December deliveries sold up to B. 45c and January to B 25c, or about a5 to TOT points above last nights closing quota ton and within 20 or 25 points Of the high records established on last Mon day.
 Reports reaching here from Manchester indicated that British mills were doing an active business in goods at satisfac- tory prices, and there appeared to be a feeling around the ring that the Liver pool buying here might be against for ward trade requirements. There were numerous complaints of too much rain from the eastern belt sections, and the effect of the wet weather on the spread of the boil weevn.

Shannon & Co.'s Letter

New York. July 1s,-The report of the census bureau on cotton seed and cotton seed products is due tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The opinion prevails in certain quarters that many of the old longs have taken their pro- fits and in some instances sold for a reaction but have seen their offerings absorbed with the market now only 50 points or so under the best price touch ed on the bull movement
 Southern spot markets as officially reported up to two o'clock were 25 to 50 points higher. The market showed continued firmness during the middle of the afternoon. There seemed to be buying from one source or another on very moderate declines and the action of the market since the beginning of the week has undoubtedly been a big disap- pointment to bears on reactions.-Post and Flagg.

SHORT SELLING WAS A B|G FEATURE ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Easier Money Caused More Encouragement Among the Big Wall Street
 Traders
Bv Associated Pres

New York, July 1s.-The final ses- sion of the week on the stock ex- change. a recess having been ordered tomorrow, was characterized by fur ther cratic fluctuations of prices. traceable in large part to an increase of short selling.
 Revival of bearish aggressions was accomplished by hinted at approaching labor disturbances, but these were not confirmable in the highest and best in formed industrial quarters.
 For the long account further en- couragement was found in the easier trend of money, an extension of the rally in exchange on London and faris and the weekly mercantile reviews' which lost none of their recent favor able tone.
 Motors and their better known spe- cialties. oils, equipments, embracing the various steel and iron companies, tobaccos, feathers and sundry special ties were conspicuous in the ebb and flow of the more moderate deannGs' the transportation division showing relative backwardness save for few of the low grade issues.
 The stock list was at lowest levels just before noon, but rallied with such ease as to suggest scarcity or the floating supply in some of the mere popular shares.

W. E. Campbell & Co.'S Cotton Letter

Liverpool came about 70 American points better than due and gave us a rise on the opening of practically 40 points from last nights final prices October opening at s4.5o which was met with quite lot of liquidation by sat- isfied longs.
 It showed heavy rains in parts of the eastern belt and a few rather heavy rains in Texas. Ozark, Ala. reports f inches and a fraction of rain fall with heavy rains at Dallas.
 The foreign exchange situation as we flashed our friends yesterday is clearing up nicely and we feel within the next few days it will be on a sounder basis and from what we can learn today, it looks like the marine strike will be cleared up shortly. but there is considerable unrest among the mill operatives in New England and it will be wise to watch this as well as the weather.-W E.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 1S.-A firm market developed in cotton today, chiefly be- cause the trade placed considerable con- fidence in the efforts being made to sta blize foreign exchange and accepted the higher quotations in that market as proof of improvement in the situation. Un- favorable crop news and prediction by labor leaders that the marine strike was likely to end before the week closed were additional encouragement to buyers
 The continued rise in the price of cot ton goods helped values to some extent. and in the afternoon shorts covered freely, following the marking up of spot quotations by 25 points Middling spots were quoted at 34c, while July closed at 34 S5c and October at s4.95c.

CONFIDENCE OF THE BULLS SHAKEN IN PIT
 BY LABOR TROUBLES
Commission Houses Led the Buying Cautiously-Oats Corn and Provisions All
 Hit the TobOggan
By Assoelnted Press

Chicago. July 1S.-Sharp attention was given to the increase of labor diff ficulties, and it became evident that for the first time of late the confidence of rural bulls had been shaken to a con siderable extent. Unusually persistent selling developed. and Isices dropped in some cases six cents bushel be- fore reaction began. Commission houses led the buying cautiously on the late upturn.
 Oats were goverened chiefly by the depressing factors which put corn on the downgrade.
 Provisions tumbled with cereals. In addition, labor troubles at the stock yards here added to bearish sentiment and so, too. did rer>rts of abnormal domestic supplies of meats, butter and eggs.

Over W. l. Pnelts & Co.', Wire

New Orleans, La. July 1s.-The cot
 ton market took on a very firm tone
 today rising easily on moderate buy
 ing. The demand however was met by
 a small supply of contracts. The li-
 quidation of the early sessions of the
 week was not in evidence and offerings
 of short cotton were less liberal as the
 market advanced which made 1t appear that bearish traders were somewhat nervous over the renewal of the crop complaints in many of the sections. Points in the Atlantics as well as in Texas complained of heavy rains. Over a good portion of the belt 1t looks | as if the rains which are typical of July are setting in and the prospects are that they will be very damagin g to the crop if they do fall. Some Texas localities wired in at the middle of the day that they had seven hours of con tfnuous rainfall.
 We believe the market is in a good position to advance. especially If the foreign exchange situation and the ma rine strike show improvement. At the highest of the day the trading months
 were at a net advance of 96 to 105 points. The close was 91 to 104 up Shepard and Chuck
