be foretold, for Alfred Luckins. SEN
tor counsel for the manufacturer

Mr.. Ford. who went on the stano

Market News '
S1O PER BALE IS JUMP IN COTTON
 IN THREE DAYS

New York, July 19,-The continual tion of rains in the eastern belt caused a further sharp advance in the cotton market this morning and all deliveries made new high records. October sold up to 35.95 or 55 points above last nights close and approxi- mately $1O per bale above the low level of last Thursday morning. Re actions of several points followed but the market closed steady at 35.70 for October, or 30 to 43 points net high CT on the general list.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 15 to 32 points and soon sold 43 to 63 points above last nights closing figures on active general buying. A good part of the demand vas attributed to covering or the re- placing of long contracts sold earlier in the week on the reports of i'm rroved conditions. There was also huying believed to be for foreign and domestic trade interests, which had a tendency to increase tie nervous ness of shorts and the reports of a steadier tone in foreign exchange were also a factor on the advance. January contracts sold up to 35.79 but around these figures there was a good deal of profit taking for over the week end and later fluctuations were irregular, except for realizing, selling was probably held in check by the prospects for further showers of rains in eastern belt sections.
 The market closed steady. The

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, July 19. Renewed strength developed in the corn mar ket today, owing largely to sharp up turns in foreign exchange rates and to reports of irreparable damage to the oats crop. The close was unset tied, 3-8 to 1 3-8c net higher with September 1.90 5-8 to 1.90 7-8 and December 1.61 3-8 to- 1.61 1-2. Oats finished 2 3-8 to 2 5-8c up and pro visions varying from 1Oc decline to 30 cents advance.
 Until the last hour, pessimistic views of economic conditions intend ed to keep sentiment bearish regard to corn and so likewise did the fine weather. Declines however led to improvement in domestic shipping demand with consequent buying on the part of shorts and commission houses. At this juncture, the fact that sterling" exchange had risen to 4.44 after having gone as low as 426 1-2 gave an advantage to the ru'ls. Meanwhile, the oats market was climbing rapidly.
 Radically unfavorable crop advices led to buying of oats on broad scale. Word that exports bids for oats were out of hne, received but little atten- tion.
 Provisions swayed with corn. La Dor difficulties at the stock yards had only a transient bearish effect.

New Orleans, July 19.-Wet wealth CT in the belt put the price of cotton higher today on a fairly active mar ket for week and session, although late in the day, the disposition was to sag off from the high levels under realizing. The new crop months went to new high records, being stronger than July.
 The opening was at the advance and the rise continued until July was 25 points up and the new crops 53 to 60 up. Realizing of profits on new crop contracts and liquidation by July longs who were nervous over reports of large tenders next week caused a reaction, so that July closed at a net loss of 20 points while the new crops were at new gains of 33 to AS points. At their highest October and December traded at 35.48 while July rose only to 35.10. Spots were advanced 50 points which raised the quotation on nliddling to 34.50.
