Wheat Developed Strength on Report
 of German Credit
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 21.-Wheat developed some strength today, largely because of reports that Germany had ob- tained credit in Great Britain to buy bread stuffs. The mark e. closed firm at the same as yesterdays finish to a4 cents highter with September 1.26 A to s1.26k and December $l.29A to s12Sk. Corn closed Is off to hQ ts up and oats gained h to F cent. In provisions the outcome ranged from 121a decline to rise of 21s cents.
 Strength in the wheat market showed itself almost exclusively dur ing the final half hour of the ses- sion, after word had been circulated the British bankers had made $1o,- 900, 900 loan to Germany to be used in the main for the purchase of wheat Bullish sentiment was also stimulated by famine news from Russia and by advices that the western Canadian crop this season would not be larger than that of last year. Until the bulge in prices at the last. however, bears had things much their own way with gossip current that consign- ments from growers in the southwest appeared to be limited only by ability to get cars. A good deal was made, too, of predictions that receipts would continue liberal and of the need of track deliveries here owing to con gested storage facilities, and the ele- vator employees strike. Excellent crop prospects tended to ease the corn market Oats were relatively firm as a result of disappointing yields.
 Higher quotations on hogs partly counterbalanced in the provision market the depressing effect of a break in lard prices at Liverpool.

AZ TER SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH,
 COTTON WENT UP
Close In the Last Hour Was at a Net Advance of Seven to TWenty-one Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, July 21.--After ses- sion devoted mostly to a narrow lo- cal trade and switching on rather a liberal scale between March and May at from f to points to cotto1 market became active and strong in the last hour and closed very steady at net advance of to 21 points.
 There was considerable disappont- ment among bull traders early in the day that the market should have been so unresponsive to the bullish news at hand, including the reduc- tion in the English bank rate, show cry weather in the belt and con siderable Liverpool buying in this market.
 The opening was to points low CT and afterwards the market sold off to 12.62c for October and 13.0Sc for December or about IA points under the previous close. Business was quiet and offerings from Wall street. the south and local traders served to keep the market in more or less depressed condition up till within a short time before the close when evidence of an oversold condi- . tion became apparent and there was a rush of shorts to cover. stimulated by some unfavorable crop reports and rather active Liverpool buying.
 There have been good many boil weevil reports in the market this week and the weather today contn- ued favorable to the activity of the pest although 1t was not until the short interest had been over-extended that any sort of response was made to this news. The buying carrie l October up to 12,9oc and December to 13.2sc and final prices were only a shade under the top for the day. That there would be no distress cot ton forced on the market the coming season was the opinion of well known spot man here today, basins his opinion on the idea that the south would have all the money nee essary to finance the crop this year.

TRANSACTIONS ON
 WALL STREET WERE OF A LOW RECORD
Call Money Dropped From Six to Five and 0ne-HaIf Per Cent, With Cut By the
 Bank of England
By Associated Press

New York, July 2l.-The stock markets only outward recognition today of easier credit conditions an nounced overnight was decUne in call money quotations from 6 to 5A per cent. Otherwise, further lower ing of discounts by Federal banks and the cut in the Bank of England rate did not affect trading.
 Total transactions made one of the lowest records of the year. The trend of prices was downward.
 Shorts made some impression on steels, equipments. motors and mis- cellaneous issue including Famous Players. Fire in the Mexican oil fields and rumors of financing by one of the Royal Dutch subsidiaries served as an excuse to depress oils.
 Rails, especially ranscontinentals and coalers, were comparatively strong despite June statements of va rious important systems which dis closed smaller gross earnings. Cop pers and allied metals were unaf- fected by price concessions and ship pings ignored reports of lower freight rates
 Exchange on London weakened on selling precipitated bY developments in the Siesian situation. Later par tial recovery was effected with inn provement in French Belgian and German rates
 With few exceptions the bond market was firm to strong. Liberty issues were appreciably better, most rails tesded upward and the feature of the foreign group was the strength of various municipals, notably Dan ish and Swedish issues. Total sales par value $10,S75,000.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press

New Orleans, July 21.-Easier money and a continued good feeling in the spot market were the main factors in the trading in cotton to- day and, following a period of de- pression in the early hours. they pat the market to higher levels, best prices coming late in the day when October touched 12.43c and the trad ing months were IA to IS points higher than the final prices of yes terday. The close was at net gains on the day of 12 to! 17 points with October at 123Sc.
 The lower opening was due to pri- vate messages from Liverpool claim :. ing that the market there was slow ing down from it's recent activity. Prices were soon 12 to 1S points under the close of yesterday with October off to 12.t4c, but gradually the demand increased on private re- ports of rains in several states in the belt and on the reduction to 5la per cent in the discount rates of several federal reserve banks in this coun- try and In the discount rate of the Bank of England.
 In the late trading the full force of easier money was felt. it being in creased by reports that the war ii nance corporation has agreed to lend local banking concerns several mil lion dollars to finance export ship ments Fear of further rains in the belt over night were also help to the market, which closed firm.

New York, July 21.--(Special)-- Our market ruled extremely quiet and dull all day. without much change until late afternoon when some buy ing for New Orleans made it's appear ance. Weather conditions in the At lantic states continued very unfavor- able with heavy showers over most of the country. In the west, Texas the extreme heat was broken by beneficial showers which should do the crop there good deal of good.

PRESIDENT KEEPS HANDS OFF
Harding Lets 1t Be Known That
He Will Let Congress Settle
Tax Fight.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Efforts of the
opponents of the sales tax plan to
block it's adoption as a substitute for
the Penrose revenue revision bill were
checked by President Harding
Chairman Penrose of the senate
finance committee and Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon appealed to the
President to take hand in the situa-
ton and urge acceptance of the bill
now pending in the senate.
Advocates of the sales tax in the
,senate, fearing that presidential ac-
ton would influence Republican sena-
tors who now view the sales tax
favorably, to vote against it, urged
the President to keep hands off.
The President sent word to Repub-
lican. senators indirectly, that he
would permit congress to settle the
tax fight without any interference on
his part
