COTTON MARKET IS
 JUST SPECULATIVE
Influences of Weather and Mills Utilized to Effect
 Distant Months
By Associated Press

New York, August 7.-The continued wet weather in the south appeared to be creating nervousness over the further progress of the crop and pros poets for early receipts in the cotton market today.
 The buying, however, was again at tributed almost entirely to covering of shorts with demand otherwise held in check by unsettled general conditions, and after selling up to S1c for Decem- Der the market eased off closing at ISO76c for that delivery.
 The g~Neral list closed barely steady at net declines of 3 to 80 points on the near months, but to 10 points higher on November and later deliveries. The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 10 to 35 points and after re- actions of severel points under realiz-
 ing sold up on the weather map show ing rather heavy rains in the south west and showers at numerous points in other sections of the belt. It seemed to be apprehended that a continuation of the wet weather would delay the new crop movement and might hurt the grade of early cotton as well sss promote the spread and increase the probability of damage from insects October contracts sold up to 32.4Oc and January to 29.S5c in consequence with active months generally showing net advances of SS to 40 points and there was some trade buying. supposedly to cover hedges against the larger spot sales reported in the southwest. q
 The scattering short interest, how ever had been reduced earlier in the week and the demand from that quar- ter was correspondingly less active, while reports of continued or increas- ing domestic mill curtailment and the uncertainties of the European situation led to realizing by recent buyers. This checked the advance and caused reac- tions in the late trading, last prices showing declines of about 25 to 30 points from the best Bombay advices estimate the Indian carry-over at a million bales, including an unprece- dentedly large proportion of low grades. Private cables from Liverpool said Manchester was poor, but that sentiment was more cheerful over the European affairs.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, August 7.--The stock mar ket during the week was sensitive to Eu- ropean news, domestic industrial condi- tions and movements of foreign exchange rates. Only momentary benefit was de- rived from constructive influences, which ordinarily would have provided a lever for an upward movement. The Polish situation, together with a drop of Is cents in sterling, ceased liquidation and afforded the bears opportunity to raid prices.
 The abundance of stocks for sale and the fact that there was little or no out side demand illustrated the professional character of the dealings. The bulls were unwilling to support their favorite. largely on account of the uncertainties surrounding the business outlook. Ev1- dences of economic readjustment to- gether with poor earnings, the freight congestion and fuel shortages, provoked discussion as to the future dividend poll cies of various companies.
 Recognition of the benefits to be de- rived by the railroads from the projected rate increases and the large expenditures outlined for necessary improvements caused spasmodic buying of the railroad and equipment shares. This demand

GRAIN PITS WERE EVENING UP ON
 ALL COMMITMENTS
Wheat, Oats and Corn All at Losses on the Days
 Trading In Chicago
By Associated Press


 Chicago, August 7-There was a dis position in all the grain pits today to even up commitments for the week. The risk of carrying lines in either long or short grain was deemed to be too great, iE view of the critical situation in Eu- rope. At the close wheat showed a net loss of 212 to cents, with December s2 S21S to $233 and March $2S5h Corn was down ls to Sssc. Oats showed a decline ranging from 7-S to 1 3-S cents, while provisions were unsettled, pork and lard being up and ribs lower.
 Unexpected rains over parts of Illinois and other states led to general selling of all grains, there being sharp declines at the start. Wheat broke sharply, but later on received good support, rallied and prices were carried above the low point of the day. Increasing receipts, as we'll as the less threatening situation in European politics, were factors which made the bull side unpopular. The mar ket fluctuated within a fair range, and there was some buying of wheat fu- lures credited to northwestern account.
 Corn got away to bad start, but a moderate recovery was noted during the late trading. There was much free buy ing on the break by commission houses, which were good sellers yesterday, and this caused a rally which brought prices close to the high point of the day.
 Oats were weak because of liquidation by commission concernssand local longs. Like the other grains, there was rush to sell at the outset, but support was lacking. Buying against bids checked the early break, and>the finish was close to the opening prices.
 Provisions were unsettled, easing off with grain, but on the decline there was buying of lard by carrier, which caused a fair rally. At the finish pork was up I5 cents; lard showed gain, ranging from 5 to 12l3 cents, while there was a net loss of cents in ribs

American Cotton & Grain Excnanue
New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, August Tt was more Of weather market in cotton today and in the absence of anything new and alarming in political conditions in Eu- rope, reports of too much rain in the belt had full effect. The opening was higher and the improvement persisted until the trading months were 26 to 41 points above the close of yesterday, De- tober rising to a.17c and March to 2907c During the late trading the market sagged somewhat as the result of the forecast of dry weather for the western half of the belt, except for showers in the vicinity of the gulf coast and the close was at net gains of but 12 to 16 points. Continued poor trade accounts seemed to be against values to some extent after the first demand was satis- fled. Texas reported rain at many points, and here and there the rainfall was heavy, ranging from one to three inches. Private reports claimed that worm and weevil damage was increas- ing. There were unfavorable accounts from the western division of the belt, and the outlook there was considered unfavorable because of the official pre- dicsions of generally showery weather for over Sunday.

WEEKLY METAL
By Associated Press


 New York, August 7.-General approval by iron and steel interests here has been accorded the recent announcement of higher freight rates by the interstate commerce commission. Despite the fact that the rates will place heavier financial burdens on producers of steel. it is felt here that the increases will furnish the carriers the wherewithal to add equip ment which will aid In reducing con gestton on the lines throughout the coun- try.
 The market here has shown a stronger tendency on account of the feeling that Independents may bring about advances to help cut their expenses. No price changes of importance were noted on steel products. There were practically no further shut-downs at plants on ac- count of fuel shortage. Steel production is estimated at from 10 to 15 per cent lower during July than during the month previous. Scrap iron and steel interests report steady demand, and the supply Of hoppers suitable for scrap carrying is inadequate for shipments ordered.
 Pig iron demand centers at present around buying of foundry for prompt delivery. Some 1921 delivery iron is sought. but sellers are not eager to commit themselves. The feeling here is that the increased rates will result in higher iron prices for fourth quarter de- livery. Bessemer, Pittsburg, advanced sl per ton to 40. Other grades are also in q strong position.
 Iron output during July was estimated at 3.067.0i3 tons, compared with 3043,5io tons in June.
 Copper has been generally dull. Sellers are quoting a nominal 19 cents per pound for large lots, spot and third quarter delivery. Some shading to about 1S1zc is reported in small lots. There is no ex- port market at present on account of the unsettled condition of the overseas trade.
 Copper production by eighteen leading concerns in this country was estimated at 104924.oo0 pounds during June. The level for the previous month was 1o5,- 90o,0 900 pounds.
 Tin here took a decided improvement on Thursday as a result of the higher prices quoted in London. The market here for spot and shipment over the third quarter is 491kc per pound now. There is fair demand.
 Lead continues firm at S.5oc per pound, New York.
 Zinc, East St Louis, all positions is quoted In first hands about 775c per pound. There is little demand.
 Anthony continues steady after a midweek decline of Hc per pound.

Little Attention Was Paid to the More Measuring Foreign News-Liber-
 ty Bonds Irregular
By Associated Press

New York, August 7.-The bear fac ton contested attempts to continue yes terday's rally in the market today. The weekly trade reviews, which told of the economic readjustment in progress, in- fluenced some selling. Indications that the speculative position of certain stocks was still vulnerable was furnished by weakness of low-priced oils and other shares which have been recently under pressure.
 Belief that the technical position has been weakened by yesterdays short coverig and q desire to tighten holc- ings over the weekend assisted the de- cline. Pressure was effective in the stee1s, motor, paper, shipping, copper, equipment and sugar shares, but railroad issues held up well.
 Little attention was paid to the more reassuring foreign news. Sterling ruled lower, but continental bills were mainly higher.
 The bank statement showed a rectifi- cation of recent unfavorable conditions. Last weeks deficit in the reserves was turned into a surplus of $15,1n,000. The extent to which brokers borrowings had been reduced by the liquidation of stocks was shown by reduction in the loan item of s45,515,o0o.
