(By Thomson & McKinnon.)

Reports of rust from new spring wheat
territory were offset by indications of
slightly lower temperatures and by ideal
weather for the growing crop Of corn.
In addition, the cash situation has de-
veloped into a load on the market
The movement from the country is
continuing longer than expected and
there is little, If any, new demand from
the east.
As consequence premiums have dis
appeared. Elevators are acquiring modest
stocks, the best market for which at
present is found in the deferred deliv-
cries.
Cash prices finished at the low point,
. to s cents under yesterdays averages
The market has been well hQuidated, and
may be a little less sensitive to the
weak cash situation and the excellent
crop news
This condition simply suggests eau
ton IN anticipation OF lower prices.
Not only has there been no revival of
interest in the oats market but prices
have been affected by d moderate in
crease In the offerings Of old oats from
the country and by arrival OF new oats
IN some Of the southern markets.
Cash prices have been weak, closing at
the low point.
This grain Is relatively cheap, but the
market Is suffering from lack or inter
est and continues being a reflex OF corn.

In the Cotton Markets

NEW YORK, July 13.--Active buying
Of July by Liverpool houses t the open
ing of the cotton market today was the
cause of an upturn of 80 points In that
contract, while later months were
points lower to 2 points higher. Spot
houses were the chief sellers of July and
southern wire houses and New Orleans
interests sold later months. At the end
of the first half hour the market was
somewhat unsettled.
The close was steady with August ID
points lower and the other months un-
changed to 10 points higher.

WEATHER SYNOPSIS,

An extensive depression now covers the
region from Lake Superior to the south
western plateau while fields of high
barOmetric pressure occupy the south
eastern states and the western Canadian
provinces. As result of this pressure
distribution, showers and thunderstOrmS
lave occurred in the middle Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, and also at scat
tered places in the lakes region. 1t is
somewhat warmer in the Ohio and mid
die Mississippi valleys, whore the read
ings are near or above normal; but 1t Is
cooler over most OF the upper plains and
the far northwest.

HOGS LOWER ON !
LARGE RECEIPTS
Cattle Also Decline, While
Sheep and Calves Advance.
RANGE OF HOG PRICES.

Receipts. 1880, with 25o left over
market weak.
The large increase in offerings was
responsible for a sharp setback in hog
prices today, the bulk of good hogs sell
ing at $16,25@16.35, g. decline Of 25@35c
from the general levels of Monday.
The spread in the price for the bulk
of sales was due to the fact that buyers
Disseminated against the heavier grades,
hogs averaging 160220 pounds bringing
S1635; while hogs o. averaging III, 22o-Zoo
Extremely heavy hogs moved slowly,
buyers demanding substantial cOnces-
sions to effect sales. Pigs ranged from
S1525 down and the best sows brought
$13.
Lower markets elsewhere had a de
cided bearing on the recession in prices
here.
Cattle.
Receipts, 1900; market weak.
While the better grades held up fairly
well a contraction in inquiry for the
medium and common stuff and the larger
amount of offerings contributed toward
weak tone.
Prices of the choice grades were of
25650c on the hundred, while other
stuff gave way as much as 81 in some
cases.
Calves.
Receipts, 800; market strong.
A rush of orders from eastern pack
ers sent prices up 50eGS1 IN the veal
division, good to choice calves selling at
Sl5.JUMl6aO with quite a few fancy

Big calves and "dipks" met with a
good demand and followed the better
grades upward. although the net advance
was not as much.

A further advance was brought about
In prices of good sheep and lambs. Most

STOCK MARKET IN
GENERAL UPTURN
Advance Retarded by Drive on
Industrials by Bears.

NEW YORK, July 18.-The stock mar
kst showed an improved tone today, with
tia majority of issues making advances
Of fractions to over points.
Steel issues, which were In supply In
the late trading Monday, showed good
gains at the start Baldwin rose IA to
121Ai Steel common, to sS1s Van
adium Steel, IL to s8hs and Crucible
Steel, point to 1881. Republic Steel
dropped point TO 90, but quickly re-
The bears turned their attention to the
indUstrials, causing reaction during the
first hour. This drive, however. failed
to carry the general list below Mondays
low levels.
Among the exceptions were Crucible,
which got under 151, and Houston OIL.
At 50 Houston was off 10 points from last
weeks high.
Reading was most active Of the rail-
road shares, advancing u to 91Ss.
There was little doing in the motor
group.
The market displayed uncertain tone
throughout the forenoon, frequent raj
lies and recessions alternating. RailrOa d
shares became strong, with oil issues
Another weak spell occurred during
the early afternoon, but with the ex-
ception Of Steel common, Baldwin and
Nanadium, none of the leaders got into
new low ground for the present move
ment. Steel common touched 92A on the
downward movement.
There was considerable covering by
shorts during the last hour with rallies
OF a point or more in the leading issues.
Nsnadium, which was hard hit by sell
ing during the early part of the day
came back two points.
The market closed steady. Government
bonds were unchanged, and railway and
other bonds steady.
Total sales of stocks were 667 900

(By Thomson & McKinnon).
There are two fundamentals that are
not favorable for the stock market
money and general business.
The money market is just about as
POor as it ever has been. This morning
some of the newspapers carried stories
of easy time money, but these were
stories and nothing else.
As a matter of fact, there is very lit
tie time money offered and per cent
is the rate demanded. Renewals today
were made at yesterdays rate of s
per cent, and though we may offer ex-
plantations and excuses for such a rate,
the fact remains that it is not a bullish
item.
We had a little strength during first
hour, a few issues being conspicuOusly
active and higher. but buying in general
was not aggressive
When the early buying orders were
filed, offerings began TO recede again,
demonstrating the fact that the market
was in no position to stand any pressure,
either from liquidation or from the bear
tsh element
There is a general want Of confidence,
even among the friends Of the market,
because even the favorable arguments
presented are coupled with qualifications

tons which will be forthcoming un-
Ter the Communicating order OF Sec
retary Baker. the Railroad Admin
lstration still will owe the roads
l65, 900 tons, as a replacement item.
Mr.. Hines would rather give rails
than cash before the date for the
roads to go back.
Under the commander order the
price TO be paid Is TO be fixed at a
conference later to be held between
Director General Hines and heads OF
the companies involved. Some OF the
companies n among which the com
mandeer oYders were allocated have
not raised their prive above SAT a
ton, and It is believed that Mr.. Hines
will hold for this price. He will re-
sist stubbornly any effort to rx a
higher figure.
The Governments order. invoking
wartime powers to supply the need
for steel rails, will have the effect
of giving that product a priority on the
books of the mills, ahead OF other
materials for private consumers. Ger
tainly, with the tremendous demend
upon the mills, II will result In mills
modifying their promises OF delfv-
cry under private contracts. Even In
the face OF these conditions, how
ever. Director General Hines insists
that the needs of the roads are para

ments Is. to be carried out IL 1t Is
