New orleans. La..s July 1.-Moderate advances persisted in the cotton mar ket today, the opening being at the advance, while the close showed net gains for the day of 13 to 40 points. Irregularity toward the close resulted from the strength of July on the one hand and some little liquidation in the distant months on the other. The mar l<et was supported by more bullish views regarding the bureau events of tomorrow and by the forecast of show cry weather for the eastern half of the belt. At the highest levels the trading months were 32 to 49 points up with July at S749c.
 The average of opinion regarding the condition report tomorrow fell as the result of the private bureau re- ports issued today. which mainly were under 70. It would now appear that the average trader in this market does not look for a report of over 70. which was last years percentage of condi- ton for June 25. The average of twelve important private bureau esti- mates is 696 One of the reasons for the higher opening was the Times Picayune report of 7o.S, which, to- gether with it's showing showing a decrease of ? per cent in acreage, in- dicated a crop of 11,000,000 bales.
 The outcome of the session tomor- row, of course, depends on the char acter of the condition, acreage and in- dicated yield figures duel from the government at 11:30 o'clock, New Or leans time.-Shepard & Gluck.

Over Private Wires
Shannon x Co.


 New York, July l.-Except for little activity in the early trading, the market has been very quiet and suggests that it is well evened up for the report tomorrow. Whatever the figures may be. the trade will add something to them to cover the improvement believed to have taken place as a result of the weather since June 2o, but will look to see a loss during July, which is month of deterioration. This average loss for July is Az per cent, arY there has been only one year out of II , last ten when there has been an improve ment during that month. which was one point in 1911. Weather advices were good today, but the trade feels rather nervous over the possible extent of damagae by the weevil this year, as all reports have shown that insect present in larger mum bers than usual.
 1t is not so much on the crop condi- tions, however that sellers are relying as on the widespread belief In dull trade and restricted credit facilities making 1t difficult to handle even a small crop and resulting in forced selling of the actual. The air is filled with predictions of that sort, and the declines in other textiles, such as silk and wool, are pointed to as good enough evidence of what is in store for cotton.--Post & Tlagg.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, o. July 1--(Special 1.-The Iron Trade Review today says: Extensive closing down of iron and steel capacity is nearer at hand than at any stage of the unsettled operating conditions which have grpped the industry for several months past. The labor controversy pre- cipitated by the open shop demands of amalgamated associations of iron, steel and tin works, however, has prospects of being bridged over without general cessa- ton of the many sheet and tim plate mills this week upon the expiration of the an- nual agreement.
 Renewed conferences asked by the union leaders have shown a more concilitory at-
 ttude on the part of the latter Apart
 from the labor factor the transportation situation rapidly is reaching crisis through the order of the interstate com merce commission practically barring the use of coal cars for iron and steel ship ments during the next three weeks This is hobbling the industry in far-reaching way Effect of the restrictions upon the use of open-top equipment have been more keenly felt during the past week, and they promise to grow exceedingly
 severe before the allotted thirty-day pe- riod has expired, while empty coal cars
 may be loaded for movement in direct line toward the mines. This is decidedly linn ited service and of temporary character. In all directions pig iron semi-hnfshed
 and finished steel has begun to pick up rapidly in producers hands on top of the huge accumulation already on hand A con tinuance of this condition oGly can result in drastic curtailment of output In the east eight blast furnaces have been forced to bank because their supply of limestone has been shut off by the-car order.
 Insistent demands for all the material on contract the mills can ship serve to eontroverse reports of enforced. curtati- ment of production by automobile build- CTS due to financial causes
 A summary by steel makers of the situation at Detroit discloses that the different plants are operating the fullest extent permitted by material supplies. Ur- gent calls for spot pig iron. especially basic, have continued this week. and have been intensified by narrowed traffic facil- ities. Further sales of prompt basic iron have been made at A450 valley, and lots have been closed at $f5. A number Of sales in eastern Pennsylvania have ranged from $44 to s45.50 delivered. A large current inquiry remains unsatisfied because of the scarcity of this grade Interior New England points are paying around $50 delivered for Alabama foun-
 dry iron for water shipment by way OF
 Boston, and have closed for eastern Penn- | sylvania metal at $49. 90 delivered or -$H | furnace.
 | At Cleveland, eco tons of spot southern | iron went at $i965 delivered or S7 p base furnace. Recent purchases Of heavy | melting steel on this side by English and
 Scotch dealers are estimated at 150,000 to
 200 GOO tons Chicago reports an inquiry | from the orient for 96c00 tons of cast | iron pipe The Australian commonwealth
 has bought 10000 tons of ship plates from
 the Steel Corporation.

 Several private reports were gwen out today around 6S per cent, and the average guess of sixty New York Cot ton Exchange members was 6S.2 Nor den's 67.5 report emphasized the ex- tensive damage by boil weevlls, and private reports from Texas said weevil depredations were becoming alarming.
