New Orleans Cotton By Associated Pyess

New Orleans. August 13-The session Tn cotton today came to an end withou. developing any decided trend irregular ity was displayed in the last prices which were 14 points under to 15 points over the closing quotations of yester- day. The most decided price movement Of the day was the bulge which fol- lowed rumors that Russia and Poland had concluded an arfnistice, but in the late trading, when it was seen that these runlors had no foundation, the market broke under, unloading of long contracts.
 The early trading was unsettled, prices finally working 15 to IS points under yesterdays close. but the market firmed up rapidly following the armistice rumors and the strongest months went about dollar a bale over yesterdays finals. Telegrams from the interior. and particularly Texas, complained of too much rain too low night temperatures and these messages increased the de mand. so that finally October rose to 30.50c and the list went to net advances of B to 27 points.
 After the middle of the session the market hesitated at first and finally broke to new low levels where prices were 15 to 24 points under yesterdays close. October traded down to 30 02c during this movement.
 private bureau report issued during the day placed the condition of the crop at PA per cent of normal, a loss of s.1 points since the end of the July condition period.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Prass

New York, August 13-The cotton mar ket has shown continued nervousness during the past week and fluctuations have been irregular. The continuance of showers or rains in the south has led to increased apprehension regarding the progress of the crop, but buying on that feature has been restricted by the un certainties of the European situation and the unsettled state of trade.
 Under these circumstances, the firm technical position of contracts follow ing recent declines was reflected in the earlier week ruling of prices. Covering at times was active and there was prob- ably some trade buying on the rallies which extended to 3144 for December on Wednesday, as compared with % 6Sc, the low level touched early in the month. The demand from shorts then became less active, however, while continued crop complaints failed to stimulate spec ulative buying and there were reactions toward the end of the week under liqui. dation.
 The weekly report of the weather bu- reau proved less unfavorable than ex- pected ard the mid-monthly condition figures have hardly indicated as much falling off for the first half of August as the average for the period. Three of these reports were published, one of them making the condition 69. compared with 75.2 toward the end of July, but a prominent southern authority has made it 75.5. or only point under end of July figures.
 Scattering reports complaining of too much rain or insect damage have been more numerous during the past few days and there have also been reports of de- lays in the early movement and some damage to the grade of cotton In the southwest These conditions are sup posed to account for a pretty well suss tained basis on early new crop ship ments out it is reported in local circles that so far export bookings have been extremely light for this season of the year.
 Manchester trade advices have been more encouraging, but no improvement has been reported in the domestic goods situation and mill curtailment is said to be increasing. Sales of print cloth II the Fall River market for the week were estimated at only 5000 pieces.

GRAIN MARKET
 HEADED DOWNWARD
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
In the Provisions List the Outcome Was an Advance of Ten Cents to
 Thirty-twO Gents
By Assoclsted Press

Chicago, August 13.-Grain markets all headed downward today, owing largely to prospects of an armistice. Wheat closed heavy. SAC to 4c net lower, with December s2H to s2.41A and March s2.A.
 .orn finished 13sc to sssc down, and oats off kc to 1hc. Tn provisions the outcome was an advance of 10 to B cents.
 Before the outlook for an armlstice became a ruling factor, the wheat mar ket for a brief time showed tendency to rise, influenced by signs of export business on liberal scale. Then came definite news that Russian and Polish delegates had arranged meeting to take place at once. A quick break in values followed and subsequent rallies failed to last Notices that the port of Galveston was congested with grain and that railroad loadings for there had been stopped counted further against the bllls and so, too, did word that the British royal commission had again withdrawn from the market as a buyer. The close was at virtually the lowest point or the day.
 Export sales of lard. together with higher quotations on hogs, lifted pro- visions.

NEW STRENGTH IN STOCK MARKET ON
 TURN FOR BETTER
There Was a Plentiful Sup ply of Call Money for Speculative Purposes
 on Wall Street
By Associated Press

New York, August 1S.-The stock mar ket gave an impressive exhibition of strength today. Final prices were one to seven points higher for many influ- ential shares. The rise effaced the great CT part of the week s early loss and car ried many leaders well above last Sat urday's close.
 Buying had it's origin in the opinion being, had been liquidated and that embraced practically the entire list. The steels, oils, chemicals, shippings, equip ments, tcbaccos, food, motor, rubber, textiles and high and low-priced raii- road shares were purchased on steadily ascending scale.
 When spectators for the decline began to cover, they found stocks scarce ana were forced to bid up prices rapidly to secure a sufficient supply.
 Foreign news was relegated to the background as a factor and there was more inclination to take account or the strength of sterling and the plentiful supplies of call money for speculative purposes.
 Reports that the long pending merger of various chemical corporations would be completed and the declaration or a ao0 per cent stock dividend for the Stand ard Oil Company Of New York were ad- ditional stimulating influences.
 Bonds maintained their recent uneven course. Foreign issues were we'll sus- tained, but Liberty and Victory loans continued to give way. U. $. old govern ments were unchanged call.

EASY RULING IN NEAR MONTHS FEATURED THE COTTON MARKET
Failure of Weather Report to Bring In General De- mand Was Disappoint-
 ing to Buyers
By Associated prv@

New York, August 13.-The feature in the cotton market today was the rela- lively easy fulisg of the near months. Only couple of August notices reported in circulation. but they brought out some scattering liquidation, and the prices of that delivery broke to 32.2sc under a very few sales This. combined with the downward revision of the nominal quota tior for mddling cotton in the savannah market led to lquidations by October longs, which broke the price from S1 66c to s1.l2e during the afternoon That de- livery closed at S1.31e. compared with 31.37e at the close yesterday. and the general list closed very steady at a de- cline of 115 points on August. while Oc- tober and December were to : points lower and later months to 19 points higher
 The market opened very steady at an advance of to 20 points on continued rains in the south and private repor; placing the condition at 72.4 There were setbaeks right after the call, but the showing of the weather map was un- favorable and more encouraging news from London also promoted covering.
 Active months sold about 20 to 3s points net higher in consequence with December tt uchihs ouizc ana January 29. 25c but the demand then tapcred off and prices turned as if after midday.
 Probably the failure of the buIhsh de- tailed weather reports to bring more general demand wasEa a disappointment to recent buyers, and some of the larger local houses were said to be liouidating long con6acts for their clients on the decline. Last prices showed reactions of about 1e to ? points from the best on December and later months.
 It is reported that f,sO0 bales of col ten have been sold out of the local stock for export at 700 points on October.
 So far this month about 800 bales have been eertificated by the local inspection bureaus
