New York, July 9.-There has been no change in the general character of the market, and sentiment locally remains bearish, though traders hesitate to be ag- gf essive, fearing a change for the worse in crop and weather advices and the ef-
 feet that it would have on short mar kct. Mdmonth condition reports are ex- peeted to show improvement since Juno 25, however, so that shorts feel com.
 fortable about their position, and while
 scme apprehension is felt about dam. age by the weevl. that is rather vague
 and hazy as yet and not sufficiently acute to serve as an incentive to buy. From time to time scattered shorts cover but the demand does not follow advances and is not likely to do so until the time comes when worried shorts and trade interests attempt to buy in com
 petition with each other. Should that happen, there is the basis for something worth while in the way of recovery. For the present, however, rallies are small and shortlived as they run into fresh selling by those who are confident of a liberal supply of contracts through heese selling later on which will provide them the opportunity of covering at a largt profit Exports today were 7,600 bales.-

 CHICAGO PIT FRIDAY
Both Corn and Oats Take Dip. While Provisions Were Unchanged to
 Twenty-Five Gents Up
By Associated Prcss

Chicago, July 9.-Selers had the ad' vantage in the corn market most of the time today, owing largely to correct opinions that the government crop re- port would be bearish. Prices closed heavy ssc to 1ssc net lower, with Septem- Der S1 55ss to s1.553s. and December slSfs to $t39. Oats finished unchanged 10 iaa sss down, and provisions unchanged to 25c up,
 Notwithstanding that many recent bears in corn were inclined to be con- servative as result of the big drop in prices of late the continued liberal re- ceipts here encouraged other sellers, who were given a further stimulus by the suspicious nature of field advices, as well as by the generally accepted outlook, as to the government crop report. About the middle of the session. however, the market scored a sharp temporary upturn in connection with gossip that black rust was spreading in South Dakota and southern Minnesota. It was said also that receipts were falling off in the southwest Then the government report again absorbed attention and there was rapid fresh descent of values at the last.
 Oats were relatively firm because or the meagerness of receipts.
 Higher prices on hogs tended to HIT provisions, and so likewise did talk of eX' port sales of lard.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Assnniatnh Prasa

New York. July 9.-Selling on the bear
 ish character of crop and trade advices was held in check by the relative firm ness of the spot position during the earlier part of the week in the cotton market. Later however, the circulation of additional July notices caused a break
 of over 1c pound in that position, and as son as the near month weakened. selling of later deliveries became more active Prices on all the new crop months made new low ground for the movement in consequence, touching the lowest levels reached in the market here since last winter.
 After selling at 8 BOG on the first mo- tice day, July contracts advanced to 30 .aSc, above the quotations for mid ding cotton in some of the southwestern
 markets, and the circulation of more no- tices on Thursday led to a sharp reac- ton. So far this month tenders amount ing to about $500 bales have been made on July. and part of the cotton has been taken up by firms who are shipping 1t
 out for export and to Canada There were rumors at one time during the week that southern spot interests representing southern mills were holding July con tracts for the purpose of taking deliv-
 cries, but the liquidation toward the end of the week was hardly in line with | such reports.
 About the only criticism of weather
 
 conditions in the south has been the talk | of boil weevl, the spread of which would I be promoted by showers and cloudy con- ditions such as reported in some parts | of the belt. At one time the situation | in, this respect seemed to be creating quite bullish sentiment around the ring but the weekly report of the weather
 bureau was considered reassuring, and there was selling later on rumors that
 mid-month condition reports would show | very decided improvement Something | of that sort would be considered in line with daily weather reports, and the week | ly crop reviews which have indicated generally good to excellent progress since | the date of the last monthly reports.
 Meanwhile no improvement has been reported in spot demand so far as can be
 learned among local brokers, while the
 goods markets have remained quiet, but spinners are said to be curtailing instead
 of cutting prices, and no pressure of spot cotton has been noted in the southern markets.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 9.-WhiIe the cot ton market was depressed today by sell ing based on the favorable weather prevailing over the belt and by further reports of poor trade in finished goods. There were several rallies. the market closed points higher to IS points low CT, net for the day. At it's lowest it stood P to 50 points down. July being the weakest month and touching 36 l0c, while October fell to 32.05c.
 Around the opening the market crumbled; losing 14 to 30 points in a few minutes of trading as the result of aggressive operations on the bear side, bears being encouraged by the outlook for another dry weather map and by further claims of curtailment of output by mills of this country. As prices drop ped, realizing by shorts in important volume came in and before long the downward movement was checked and a reaction set in which did not stop until the trading months were points under to + points over the close of yes terday, October rising to 3250c
 Heavier selling than ever and new low levels for the day resulting from the forecast of dry weather from the belt. but realizing by shorts again checked the decline and brought about recoveries to- ward the end of the session

Stewart Letter

New Orleans, July 9.-There wero
 more good weather reports today and Liverpool came disappointing, which caused cotton to have an easy tone throughout the day, but near the close received enough support to close about unchanged from yesterday. October sold as low as 32.05c and round this price there was a good deal of buying, which caused rally of 30 to 40 points.
 Liverpool and professionals sold, while the demand came from shorts covering for the week -end, a little trade buying and few contracts taken for long ac- count. The National Ginners' semi -mont thly was not given out, but it was said to be very bearish, though some say it will not be as bearish as expected, and even if it is bearish it has already been discounted.
 Bears are talking about the prospects of any early and large movement in the southwest and argue the cotton will have to be sold because of the difficult ty in getting funds to hold it in ad- dition to the old crop cotton being held Manchester reported better busi- ness over there The weather and fore cast remain favorable. While the cotton market holds up well under so much bearish pressure the outlook is for sagging market on the weather with the short interest accommodating daily.
 We are in favor of purchasing cotton at these levels particularly if any bad weather can be stirred up.-Stewart & White.

Early Gains Went to the Bad During Final Hours,
 When Loans Went Up
By Associafes pr..,

New York, July 9.-Bull pools held un- disputed sway during the greater part of todays active stock market sessicn. their more confident maneuvers in sc- lected issues being attended by the larg- est and most comprehensive dealings ot recent months.
 Many extensive gains were registered m the early and intermediate periods, but these suffered material reduction in ths final hour when call loans rose grad ually from ' per cent, the opening rate to 10 per cent.
 The optimism of the professional ele. ment semed based largely on an increase ing conviction that credit conditions arc tending towards easement, also the be- lief that industrial and commercial com ditions are becoming more stable.
 News that the German government had accepted the disarmament terms of ths allies was another factor of sentimental Importance. This was evidenced by tho strength of French and Belgian ex- change. which extended in more moder- ate measure to British bills.
 Trade authorities, in their weekly re- views. dwelt in detail upon the downwari trend of stable commodity prices. Ap- proximately 100 articles of common uss were lower by slightly more than per cent from the peak of last February.
 In addition to oil motors and their specialties. independent steels, tobaccos and sugars. the days trading again em- braced rails of high and low degree at extreme gains of 1 to 61s points.

LIBERAL SELLING |. OF FLEECY STAPLE
 CAUSES A DECLINE
Closing of the General List Was Steady, at a Net De- cline of Five to Thirty
 seven Points
By Associated Press

New York, July 9-Selling on inn proving crop prospects and unfavorable
 trade advices led to further declines in
 the cotton market today and all the
 crop months made new low ground for
 the movement. october contracts sold
 off to 32.50c, or 34 points net lower, but
 there was covering for over the week,
 and that delivery closed at S26Sc, with
 the general list closing steady at net
 decline of to S7 points on all months except September, which was twenty points higher.
 In general way, the news and trad ing were very similar to that of yester- day. The opening was irregular, with September 25 points higher and other months two points higher to points lower, and after selling some 17 to p points net lower right after the call, prices rallied on covering. There was only one July notice reported in cir culation and that position sold up to 39.15c, or 15 points net higher This checked selling of new crop months, which nearly recovered their opening losses but there was another Hurry of July liquidation during the middle of the day as soon as that position turned easier there was renewed selling of lat CT months.
 July eased off 3s.45c. or 55 points net lower and new crop positions showed net losses of some 34 to 40 points dur ing the early afternoon with Decem be r selling at 30.S5c. Selling of the earlier
 new crop months was accompanied by
 talk of prospects for freer August movement of new crop cotton than pre- viously expected and there was selling of October against purchases of late positions on a theory that the latter might go to premium next season. Although the days market showed no progress in that direction. private cab les reported selling in Liverpool on ru- mors of bearish southern condition renOrt.

By A.soolat.d Pres.


 New York. July 9.-Dun's tomorrow " will say':
 Early July with it's vacation inter- ruptions and inventoryLtaking is not ordinarily a period featured by gen eral and conspicuous activity in bust ness, and there are special reasons this year why operations should be limited Constant reiteration of the importance of the price question is required in any discussion of the existing commercial situation and the elements of financial restrictions and transportation draw backs have lost none of their signifi- canoe. Where price readjustment has gone far enough to rekindle buyers interest as in certain kinds of hides and leather rival of demand along con servative lines has been witnessed and transactions that are being held 1T abeyance in some other quarters might be consummated if the necessary con. sessions were forthcoming.

During tho early morning yesterdays sellers were good buyers, but prices soon sold off on pre- dictions of continued fair weather and rumors that the National Gipners re- port expected in few days would De bearish.
 Sentiment remains very pesslmistic with the trade fully confident that out side financial conditions will prevent any speculative or trade buying ana that the crop continues to improve. In fact few are willing to admit that even bad weather can cause material ad - vance, an attitude which encourages selling at this season of the year, which is usually considered critical for the crop and when anything can happen to it.-Hubbard Bros X Co.
