COTTON DROPS ON GOOD WEATHER AND
 SOUTHERN SALES
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of Fifteen to Thirty-Six
 Points
By Associated Press

NeW ork, July 12.-The cotton market was lower today under real lzing or scattering liquidation. Re. ports of X Caring weather in the southwest probably increased the dis position to even up long contracts while there was also some selling by the south on the late afternoon break which carried october dow n to l2.S0c or 33 points beIow last nights close That delivery closed at 12.S5c with ihe general mar<et closing barely steady at a net decline of l5 to 36 points
 The early cloles from Liverpc ol showed continued strength and still larger spot sales were reported there. amounting to 15,0UU bales. The local market, however, showed an caslcr tendency from the start, opening two points lower to four points h gher, July being relatively easy owing to the circulation of notices estimated at 2S00 bales.
 Liverpool turned easier after the local opening, the decline there be- ing accompanied by private cables reporting liquidations of scattering longs and claiming that India vas re tusing to pay htgner prices asked for goods in Lancashire. This stimula ted the liquidation Of scattering long ae- counts around the local ring. Trade interests were buyers on a scale down and took a good many cor tracts in the late trading but the lowest prices were touched shortly before the close when July sold at l215c and December at 13.24c OF about 25 to 37 points net lower. The report of d prominent southern au- thority making the mid month con- dition of the crop only SIP instead of I0.4 as rumored yesterday, seems l to attract no special attention and local brokers regarded the decline as the result of an easier technical posi- tion, rather than of any special change in the general news South ern hedge selling was reported here early and again towards the close, but otherwise traders found nothing to indicate any change in the spot stuaton&and there was talk of an improved tone in the domestic goods market.

 Although raw sugar futures opened shade higher on yesterday better spot market. they soon yielded to the disquieting news regarding Cuban fi- nances. and under liquidation closed easy at a net decline of 3 to Il points. July closed 3.05c: September 3.05c; December 2.75c and March 2.7oc all bid.
 There were no further changes in refined, the price of fine gra nulated remaining at 5.20c to 5.S0c although only small business was being ac- cepted at the inside price.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, July 12.-It was a day of reaction in the cotton market today, prices being lower after a small and short lived upturn on he opening. Lowest prices came late in the session, and here the trading months were 2S to B points under the close of yesterday, October drop ping to 123Sc The close was prac- tically at the lowest, the trading months being 2S to 32 points down. net, The main reason for the de- cline was the realizing that came fl om holders of long contracts. In the trading around the first call, the market was 2 to 10 points higher, October rising to 12.S0c A better Liverpool market than due, and spot sales there of 15.000 bales. breaking all recent records, caused sufficient buying to bring about this advance, bur almost imm ediately there was realizing of buyers of yesterday. and the market commenced to fall off. During the remainder of the session the trend was gradually lower. the market having little tendency to re- cover.
 The decline came about in the -ace of private bureau report, which placed the condition of the growing crop at 67.2 per cent of normal, against 70.1 a fortnight ago. There was, however. less bullish comment regarding the spot situation in the interior and in the absence of this, no new buying of consequence de- yeloped.

Wheat Scared on Crop Outlook on
 Both Sides Atlantic
By Associated Press

Chicago July 12.-Wheat went soaring in price today, largely be- cause of concern as to the. crop out look on both sides of the Atlantic. The market closed steady, SAC to 61ac net higher. with September s124A to $1.241a, and December s1.27 to $1. .27A. Corn gained 2Ac to 3bc, and oats 1 1sc to Pc. In pro- visions, the finish varied from 7c de- cline to a like advance.
 Virulent outbreaks of black rust on wheat in North Dakota in the milk stage were reported by a lead ing expert, and other disturbing ad- vices which followed rapidly were taken as significant of sharp pros pect curtailment of supplies. Another recognized authority sent word that owing to the excessive heat many thousand acres in North Dakota would not make five bushels an acre.
 Severe black rust damage was also reported from Minnesota and contin- ued apprehension as to the pest Tn Manitoba and Saskatchewan, with further news at hand that Great Britain, France, Belgium and Holland were drouth- stricken, and that no exports were looked for from Russia, prices mounted almost continuously, Extreme gains reached 6% c and the close was at really the topmost level of the day. Broadening of demand, however, was confined in the main to commission houses identified with the northwest. Continued lack of rain had a bullish effect on corn Besides, sales of 500,000 bushels to Europe was reported. Oats ascended with wheat and corn. Heavy deliv- cries of lard, together with weakness of the hog market, counterbalanced in provisions the buoyancy of grain.

 CHARGE OF WALL
 STREET TURNOVERS
Sales of Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Shares Were the Smallest of
 the Year
By Associated Press

New York, July 12.-SuccessiVe periods of strength. irregularity and steadiness marked today's desultofy and professional operations in the stock market. Total sales of about s5o,ooo shares were the smallest of the year.
 The higher level of prices at the outset was directly due to President Harding's condemnation of the pro posed tariff on oil imports of 4or- eign oils, particularly Mexican and Pan n-American Petroleum and Gen eral Asphalt rose two points. Such diversified issues as steels, equip ments, shipping, textiles, tobaccos feathers and chemicals, most oi which are lending at premiums be- cause of the small floating supply also made extreme gains Of one to three points. Shorts stubbornly op- posed the advance, however, and be- fore the last half hour of the Ses- sion was well under way, many re- actions occurred, although gains predominated at the dull close not withstanding the sudden rise of call money.
 Cali loans opened at per cent In contrast to yesterdays easier rate, but belated borrowers were obliged 10 pay 6A per cent. Time rates were unchanged for short maturities' all though the supply was less liberal interior banks making few offerings
 All foreign exchange was stronger. sterling recovering about one-half or itg recent loss, the same holding with francs. and remittances to neu- tral countries, but Scandinavian quo tations were lower.
 Dealings in Liberty bonds leli away appreciably, and the tone was mixed Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy issues were strong in this showing no definite trend. Total sales, par value, $9,s50,0o0.
