New Orleans, July Exchanges in
 prices in the cotton market today
 were narrow as the result of more even division of sentiment and the ad -
 vance of anything startling in the news
 to stimulate operations of importance.
 On the first call prices were i to 4 points up, but very shortly sufficient
 selling came in to put the more active
 months to 10 points under the close of yesterday.
 Later the tone steadied, losses were recovered and the market sent to net advances which finally amounted to ' to IT points. October rising to S2.SSc.
 Late in the day the market sagged un-
 der scattered selling and lack of sup port and the close was points down to 10 points up, net for the day.
 The weather map was favorable and fl caused much of the selling of the session. but bears were restricted in their operations by fear of July devel- opments and also by tho possibility of bad weather as the result of the low barometer to the west and northwest of the belt Bnllish traders were held in check by continued reports of un- satisfactory trade in textile centers.

RAPID GROWTH OF CORN OFFSET THE
 BLACK RUST PEST
Corn and Oats Both Took a Slide, While Provisions Dipped, Thirty-seven to Sixty
 seven Gents
sy Associated p,s,,

Chicago, July 1S-Favorable conditions for the rapid growth of corn more than counterbalanced in the corn market to- day the bullish effect of black rust. Corn closed unsettled B. to Ss4 net lower. Oats finished 19sQll5 to 23s down and provisions off 37 to 67.
 Knowledge that no actual damage had yet been done by black rust led soon to a decided lessening of tension about re- ports concerning the plague. Just after the opening. however. the corn market bulged temporarily, owing to an estimate that as d result of black rust the yield of spring wheat would be reduced 2l.o00. GOO bushels as compared with the July outlook Then the majority of corn trad CTS appeared to focus their attention on the prospects for the corn crop and to be awaiting definite developments as to wheat. With warmth and moisture in the corn belt all that could be wished and with continued liberal receipts it took only moderate selling to keep the market depressed the remainder of the day.
 Predictions of increased arrivals weak ened the oats market. Lower quotations on hogs and grain pulled down provi- sions.

LAST WEEKS BIG
 ADVANCE HAS NOT
 BEEN ASS|M|LATED
Dealings Were Smaller and Is Correspondingly Con- tracted, With the Pro-
 fessionals In Charge
By Associated pr.s.


 New York, July 13.-In it's salient fea- lures. trading on the stock exchange to- day was largely a repetition of the pre- ceding session. The instability of prices indicated that last weeks unexpected ad- vance had not been thoroughly assiml- lated.
 Dealings were smaller and correspond mgiy contracted, but the gyrations of several of the more speculative issues, which fluctuated within an area of five to almost ten points, afforded further proof of the obviously professional char acter of the market.
 High-grade oils were about the only is- sues to show material gains at the ir- regular close, steels equipments, rails. shippings, motors and numerous miscel- laneous specialties yielding variabfy in the general offerings of the last hour Financial, industrial and commercial sdvices, so far as they pertained to quote values of securities, were again perfume tory or negative. Can money was freely available at eight per cent, that rate rul- ing throughout the day, but additional withdrawals of local reserves hy banks at crop centers reduced the supply of time funds to a minimum.
 Transportation conditions at nearby points improved to limited extent, but the freight blockade, coupled with tho fuel shortage offered only slight relief to manufacturers of steel and kindred pro- ducts.
 Another moderate reaction on British exchange was accompanied by reports that England had assumed the greater part of the Anglo-French loan, but the fiscal agents of the British government were without advices on the subject
 Bonds were featured by the strength of Belgian 7t1s aand the new Swiss gov srnment ss, both making new high prices. Domestic bonds, including Liberty issues. were irregular

DECATUR

Decatur July .--(Special) 1.-The petition for the largest road bond issue l in the history of Morgan county is now before the county's board of revenue
 The petition asks election on a pro-
 posed issue of bonds in the amount of s450. 900 for construction of complete system of good roads.
 Charles H Eyster. president of the
 Albany Chamber of Commerce, intro duced the petition and spoke in sup port of it. Endorsement of the project also was given by J. W. Sib1ey of the Falkville Chamber of Commerce.: Prof. Woodruff of Ryan's Cross Roads. !. Ratliff of Apple Grove. and C. D. Pat terson of Albany. An amendment to the original petition was offered by John R. Sample of the Hartselle Cham Der of Commerce.
 The court will announce it's decision later.
 Tn what is described as q Friendly suit" the city of Albany Is made de- fendant in litigation filed in the circuit court by the Alabama Water Company for $21,3s7.s3. The amount, the water company claims, is due from the city on account of water furnished the munich pality and for fire hydrant rental. The suit is the latest step in the fight being made by the water company to increase it's rates in Albany and Deca- tur, Some time ago petition for in creased rates was turned down by the Albany council. Later petition was filed with the public service commits sion, but was dismissed on the grounds that the commission had no jurisdic- tion.
 Officers contend the "call of the watermelon" was responsible for the arrest of Paul and Carl Wesler, young white men, who were taken into GUS tody by the Albany police after 1t is alleged they had attempted to break into a freight car on the Louisville and Nashville siding on lower Second ave- nue. The car contained a shipment of
