Over Private Wires
Stewart & White

New Orleans, July 4.-Continued pre- dictons of coudiness over the belt and Ia good Liverpool this morning gave us a somewhat better opening, but not until the bullish consumption of 555,52l against 474,o00, did the market gather good un- dertone, and then the issuance of the weekly weather and progress report rom Washington came, which was d mixed affair. favorable as far as the weather and progress is concerned, but nearly every state complains bitterly over the boil weevil destruction, and in addition to this there was an advance of over l0o points in New York July. all of which caused increasing strength from the noon hour until the close. October sold as low as 32. 75c and as high as 33,55c, closing at the top figures and about 80 points above yesterdays finals. New York spots were 100 up while New Or leans was unchanged.
 The 200-point trading limit will be off July tomorrow, and this scared those who have sold recently and towering was enor- nous. Quotations on the near Gonths rose rapidly in the late trading on some spinneIs buying October followed by the short covering, and there was light of- ferings.
 There was no news aside from the week ly weather which was on the whole bearish and the bullish consumption re- port. The market may rule cratic and contrary to crop news until July is out of the way. However. we continue to ad- wise buying cotton on setbacks, partic- ularly if bad weather news is afloat.- Stewart & White.

Shannon & Co.

New York. July H.-After showing some irreguarty early in the session the mar ket turned firmer in the late trading and scored a rather sharp advance on covering by scattered shorts with little for sale There was nothing in the news to alarm shorts as the weekly weather report was on the whole ble, though reference was made to weevil damage in various states, especially in Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina.
 Possibly the strength of the spot month may be inspiring some apprehension among shorts in the later positions as the July premium oyer October has now broken all records Advices from the goods market are also shade more hopeful and the general combination may have got a little on the nerves of the shorts. For some time past it has been fairly obvious from the action of the market and it's poor response to press sure that prices had been driven about as low as they would go unless hedge sell ing supplied good many more contracts and that any effort to cover would mean sharp rally.
 We are getting into the period ot crop scares, however, and genuine one might change the complexion of affairs very materially. We still look on the market as a trading proposition With a prejudice for the long side on weak spots.-Post & F'lagg.

 Interfering With Labor

Mobile, July 14.-(SpeciaD.-G. E. Ellis, business agent of the Electricians Union, and S. A. Bousson, business agent of the Carpenters Union, were each fined $50 and costs by the recorder to- day when arraigned on the state charge of interfering with labor.

The defendants made the bond after court Evidence was given against the two men that they visited a building on St Michael street, between Cedar and Warren streets, where H. F. Lloyd and N. S. Frazer were working, and attempt ed to make them leave their .work as electricians. Lloyd testified that Ira Crist, a union electrician, who was with the two men, assaulted and beat him be- cause he refused to quit work.

by Manchester spinners caused a sharp ly higher Liverpool market this morn ing. Our market did not fully respond, as the trade expected favorable week ly weather report, and consequently sold
 in anticipation of it's publication. Off, fers were well absorbed however, as the consumption figures for June were some SO000 bales larger than last week. While the weekly weather was generally favorable, the details showed more wee vii damage than had been expected. This market then rallied and began to advance as Wall Street shorts began to cover We anticipate further advance, especially as reports from the dry goods market show some better in- auiry-Hubbard Brothers x Co.

Thomson, Parker & Co.

New Orleans, July 14.-A boil weevll scare, coupled with the strength of the July position in New York, put the price of cotton strongly higher today. Shorts did not like the scattered showers over the belt, and the forecast of more show CTS to come in connection with private and official reports of the prevalence oi the weevil over the greater part Of the belt, and they covered in volume heav- ies, buying coming late in the day, when October was sent to 33 55c and the list stood 45 to S2 points higher than te close of yesterday The close was at net gains of 43 to 61 points.
 The weekly crop reports from the gov ernment were called bearish, and they would have been called very bearish but fo' their mention of the numbers of the weeyils now to be found in the belt The reports, state by state made mention oi considerable weevil damage in Georgia Alabama Mississippi and South Caroiina anG this mention stayed with the trade The more it was chewed-up on the worse lit looked, and finally the buying began

PREMlERS CHANGE
ECONOMIC POLICY
TO SUIT FRANCE

ESoI<oNEhN 4 NSAS
TO SUIT FRANCE
Paris. March 5.-The French for
eign office announced today that the
economic decisions of the council OF
.premiers, with regard to Russia and
Germany, had been modified to meet
the French viewpoint.
The text of the economic notes will
,c given out soon.
The French government had taken
the position that the European eco
nomic party. as agreed to by Pre-
'miers Lloyd George and Nitti, will
lead to the rehabilitation of Ger
many's industries more quickly than
Frances according to an authorlta-
t;vc statement today.
The governments position may be
outlined as follows:
Gcrmany's industries were little
affected by the war, because Ger
man territory was not invaded eX-
tensively. Hence, German manufac-
turers face a much easier problem
than do the French, for, the French
assert, Frances greatest industrial
cities were laid waste and her fac
tories wrecked with typical Tcuton
thoroughness.
Should the proposed economic pol
is 3e put III effect rapid rise in
the value of the German mark is
sure 10 follow, because German in
dustry will come rapidly back to-
ward normal. The French franc, on
the other hand, cannot increase in
value until France has rebuilt the
devastated areas and has her fac
tories again in operation.
4; to Russia the French feel that
ti2 policy Of the allied premiers
show a !acl; Of knowledge of the
RAJ situation. Before Russian COM
mcrca and outside nations can be
developed to any extent the French
hold, Rus,:;a,n railways must be re-
built. This, the French assert, will
require at least one billion francs
and six months time.
And, further. the French do not
believe that Russia has extensive
stocks of cereals and raw material
to supply to other countries. Russia.
they point out, have emphasized that
promised that she can supply food
stocks in any quantity. The soviets
they point out, have emphasized that
Russia needs manufactured goods,
particularly farm machinery, and
that they stand ready to pay fer
these products in gold and precious
stones, not in food stocks.
If the allies conclude peace with
the soviet government and prepare
for full resumption of trade rela-
tions, they declared France, Italy
and Great Britain will find them
selves with another big consumer on
their hands, while that consumer
will not be able Immediately, at
least, to supply those goods which
the allies most need.
Public and press joined with the
officialdom in condemning the allied
plan. The newspaper saw in it a
dangerous tendency to deal with Eu-
rope as a whole, instead of letting
the vanquished pay the price of
what the French consider their folly
in starting war
