WEATHER REPORT.

Favorable and unfavorable features
were included in the Governments
weekly weather report on cotton. 1t
was ui.favorable for development OF
grains and said in part: Temperatures
averaged above normal in the Eastern
portion OF the cotton belt. but were be-
low normal in the West district. II
was too wet for cotton in Texas, Okla
homa and Arkansas and too dry in some
Eastern States, especially in Georgia.
Cultivation was hindered in Oklahoma,
where the fields are grassy and the crop
made generally unsatisfactory progress,
while growth is rank in Arkansas and
Texas. The plants are not fruiting well
In the latter State. The week was
mostly favorable in louisiana. Alabama.
Mississippi and Tennessee, and cotton
made fairly good progress in those
States as a rule.
Harvesting Of winter wheat was de-
layed by rains In the lower Missouri
Valley, southern great plains. eastern
and southeastern Kansas and Oklahoma.
where the grain yet standing was badly
blown down. Wet weather caused wheat
in shock to mould and sprout. East OF
the Mississippi River harvesting made
good progress. It was too warm for the
best development Of spring wheat and
the crop also suffered from drought In
sections. Oats suffered from too warn,
weather. Corn. however, made good
progress although from sections there
were complaints Of lack Of moisture"

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Favorable iron trade advioes were ef-
feotive for substantial Improvement in
the steel. equipment and motor issues
during yesterday's Consolidated Stock

the industrial list and the rails there
was ready sympathetic response to the
upward swing Of prices, most active
properties moving UP / to per cent.
An advance IN the rate on call funds
and profit taking sales brought moderate
general reocssions during the final hour

EXPECT NEW PRICE
CUT BY U. S. STEEL
Quotations 10 to Is PC. Lower
on Many Products Looked
For July Is.

The impression is growing in the steel
poration will reduce certain prices CO.
incident with changes In wage sched-
ules. While official comment Is lack
ing. 1t Is believed IN we'll informed quar-
ters that price cuts will extend from
10 to Is per cent. below the reduction
ordered last April. the new prices ap-
plying to many products. but prob
ably not to the entire list. At the same
time the elimination Of time and a
half for overtime labor at the mills Is
looked for.
A decision to do away with overtime
would reduce production costs to a sub
stantial degree. At present q man put
ting in twelve hours a day Is paid at
an hourly rate for eight hours, which
in case of common labor would be S304.
while the four extra hours would bring
the total to $3.50. On q straight basis
of 3s cents an hour for day labor the
16 per cent. less than on the current
basis.
Several price cuts have been made
by Steel Corporation subsidiary COM
panies since the April readjustment was
made, notably one of SIS a ton on sheets
by the American Sheet and Tin Plate
Company. This action, however. failed
to stimulate business. and additional
concessions, when made. will be for
the purpose Of bringing prices to levels
at which 1t is believed consumers will
enter the market.
This weeks reviews Of the trade note
that prices are settling lower throughout
the industry. as the Steel Corporation
and other organizations compete for the
moderate amount Of business offered.
The scale of mill operations is little
changed" says the Iron Age, being
from 10 to rs per cent. for number of
independent companies and about 30 per
cent. for the Steel Corporation. There
Is agreement in the expressions coming
from several steel making centres that
the falling away In demand is entirely
without parallel and that the extent Of
unemployment Is greater than leaders
In the trade had believed possible"
This periodical finds encouragement in
the outlook for railroad steel purchases
in case the Administration hastens the
payment Of Government obligations TO
the carriers and accepts bonds for coun-
ter claims.
The Iron Trade Revteic says:
More new tonnage in the aggregate
was placed with the mills in the last
week than in any other similar period
in some time Clearly the market is re-
spending a little more actively to the
attractive levels Of prices that have de-
veloped and sentiment is slightly more
cheerful. Railroad buying continues to
grow and to hold out the one definite
promise Of appreciable improvement in
the near future.
THE composite market average of the
Iron Trade RevteU, based on fourteen
different products. Is down A cents this
week to s40.79. compared with s41. 23
last week and S42.15 two weeks ago"

COTTON PRICES SAG
IN QUIET MARKET
Final Bids Show Slight Gain
on Days Low, but Under
Tuesdays Closing.

The cotton market sagged slightly In
quiet trading yesterday. but it's under
tone was fairly steady, due to evening up
by local shorts In advance OF the Depart
ment Of Agrfcultures monthly report on
condition Of the cotton crop and a little
demand from trade interests. At the
sessions lowest level the list was only
10 to 16 points less than Tuesdays clos
ing. final bids being somewhat up from
the days low mark. with loss OF 3 TO
10 points from Tuesdays closing bids.
On the whole there was little new In the
market situation Private reports on
the condition Of the growing cotton crop
at the end Of June placed It at 67.2 to
71.7 per cent. Of normal. A factor OF
some bullish import was the improve
ment In the export situation With yes
terday's clearances the seasons total of
exports of cotton from the United States
was carried across the 100000 bale
mark. 1t Is estimated that the total OF
such exports for the year ending on
July 81, 1921, will be within 100000
bales of that Of the preceding year.
The market opened steady and at to
points less than Tuesdays Anal prices.
Movements were narrow after the call.
Demand from Japanese and New Or
leans houses brought the list to a level
Of point to points gain. but Liverpool
selling and local long liquidation was
against the market. which eased off about
10 to Is points before the end of the
first hour. Later In the day Southern
interests were sellers. but Wall Street
buying, probably promoted by the rise
in the stock market. prevented the list
from falling far under Tuesdays close.
The local spot market was off 10 points
to 11.75 cents.
The Governments weekly weather re-
port was considered by many stand
Off. but others thought 1t fairly favor
able despite its mention OF wet condi-
tions in Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma
and dry weather In the Eastern belt
The official map was somewhat unset
tied and showed rains in the Eastern
belt. Although 1t was cloudy west of
the Mississippi River. actual precipita-
ton was light. 1t was estimated that
ten July notices were issued, but they
had no effect on the market.

UNITE TO SALVAGE
REJECTED EXPORTS
g. s. Business Houses With
$75,000,O00 Goods in South
America Hope to Save Half.

Representatives Of American export
houses In session at the Hotel Commo-
dore voted yesterday to form liquida-
ton corporation into which will be in
vited all owners OF unclaimed or re-
Jected merchandise and deferred drafts
or other froxsn credits in Latin-American
countries. About s75.0oo.0oo worth Of
American goods are stagnating in South
American ports because of the inability
or refusal Of consignees to take them
over. The amount in Busnos Aires Is
estimated at $30.00o,000. Brazil $15.-
600. 900: Montevideo s15.oo0.o0o and
west coast ports $15.0o0.000.
The launching of the organization will
depend largely upon the amount of sub
scriptions received. It Is proposed that
participants advance 10 per cent OF the
value Of their claims. James Carson,
president of the Pan-American Adver-
tiGing Association, chairman of the meet
ing. said the presidents Of two large
banks had agreed to serve upon the di-
rectorate.
The organization is to take over un-
claimed goods and take steps to protect
merchandise from the elements and
other risks. Efforts are to be made to
effect delivery to original consignees or
otherwise to distribute the merchandise
near where II now lies. American own
ers are expected to realize about 50 per
cent Of the value Of their goods.
DR.. Enrique GIL. a Buenos Aires law
yer. suggested that the South American
Chambers Of Commerce be invited to
cooperate In the work. He said that
so ger cent of the goods in question al
ready were pledged to American bankers
for money advanced and that from 40
to 10 per cent. would have to be figured
for depreciation.

South American Obligations Being
Settled in Gratifying Manner.

On the authority Of the American Ac-
ceptance Council the statement is made
that the steady and very substantial
liquidation In the last few months Of
frozen domestic and foreign loans being

'highly gratifying" progress Of settle
ment Of commercial obligations by South
