Wheat Continued Its Upward Climb
 on Bad Crop News
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 14,-Wheat made a fresh advance n price today, stimu- lated by word of much black rust in Manitoba and of irreparable damage in the domestic spring crop belt. The market closed strong, 3A to 4a4c net 132A and December $1.35 to 1854 Corn lost 1 to 1sc. Oats finished at A e decline to like advance and provisions 1oc off to 71Ac up.
 At first, rains in Minnesota and elsewhere. together with forecasts of cooler weather gave an advantage to the bears in wheat but strong com mission houses were persistent buy CTS on the decline, and in the last hour the market climbed rapidly, with shorts rushing to cover The advance carried September and De cember deliveries to new high price record for the season. During the late trading, bulls put great stress on reports from Brandon Mani- toba, that for miles the crops were being endangered by rust, especially where drought and heat had been least severe. Other bullfsh advices were to the effect that rains south of the Canadian border had come too late to do much good except to check further deterior ation.
 Rains in Illinois were chiefly re- sponsible for the weakness of the corn market. Oats held steadier owing to crop damage reports from the northwest,
 Provisions averaged higher with hogs.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 px Aseociated Press

New Orleans, July l4.--Liquidation of long contracts put the price or cotton materially lower today in the face of continued bu;lish spot ac- counts and the favorable items In the June mill figures from the census bareau.
 The market was lower almost from the opening and it closed at prac- ticauy the lowest of the session at net losses of 26 to 29 points, Wlta october at 12.S6c. To some extent the selling was increased by the favora- ble weather over the belt, showers in the east and dry weather in the west and the forecast of continual ton of these conditions.
 In the early trading the market was affected by the spot sales Tn Liverpool of 10000 bales, the largest single days sales in years but after advances of five points over yester- days close on the most active months a sa.yging tendency was developed, and it remained in force during the remainder of the session. Recent buyers let in volume and in the late trading their offerings seemed to in- crease.
 Much favorable comment was caused by the census bureau figures but very little buying. Consumption in this country during June of 461,- s5S bales against 439,sS4 bales in May was a rather larger total than looked for. Texas markets continued to wire in that there were more buyers than sellers. but such accounts did no more than steady the market at the de- cline.

more than 50 per cent in value. Therefore, while the money value of wool imports was greatly decreased the quantity of wool imported was increased
 showing somewhat similar is made by that part of our interna- tional trade which cotton represents Taking again the month of May for an example, we exported more cotton by 33 per cent in that month than we did in May of the previous year, but there was an almost appalling de- cline in the market price. It was equivalent to per cent. Therefore, measured in dollars our international trade in cotton was very low, but measured in quantity was much great CT than was the case year ago.
 May was taken as typical month and the statistics for May of this year and of last come from the de- partment of commerce at Washing ton. But what was true of May was relatively speaking, true of other months of the year. Measured by quantity our international trade did not fall off appreciably. We sold and bought in this international trade all most as much as we did in the prev ious year. But we did not have to pay as large an amount for the goods that came in nor did we receive as large an amount of money for the goods we sold to other parts of the world. When our international trade for the year just ended is under con sideration and when some anxiety IS expressed lest the figures indicate a very alarming slump in that trade, it should be borne in mind that this falling off represents lower prices tbot nrevail- throughout the world and that we are buying and selling in quantity practically as much as we did in previous years, leaving the special commodities we exported which were due to war demands out of the consideration,

STOCK EXCHANGE BUSINESS DROPS ID
 NEW LOW FIGURES
Money Market Repeats, Call Loans Holding at Six Per Cent Until the Final
 Hour
By Associated Press

New York, July 14.-Business on the stock exchange today registered the low ebb of summer apathy, as in dicated by the volume of transac- tions.
 Price changes among standard stocks were in keeping with these stagnant conditions, holding within narrow limits, but speculative issues of the steel, oil, motors and utility and equipment groups were subject to wider fluctuations under profess sional pressure.
 Mexican petroleum again asserted it's leadership, both as to activity and irregularity of movement. It's extreme range of about points cul- minated in net loss of SIS points. Oils and the general list were at lowest levels in the later dealings.
 Specific instances of weakness in cluded Western Union at a net loss of 5A points, also Crucible, Bethle- hem and United States steel. General electric, Chandler motor and Suma- tra tobacco. Rails of the better type moved within a small area, but eased irregularly at the close. -
 The money market repeated It's course of yesterday, call loans hold ing at per cent until the final hour, when 6h per cent was paid. The 6 per cent rate for time loans was shaded to 5% with Liberty bonds as collateral, but time accommodations were limited to short periods.
 Dealers reported very light opera lions In foreign exchange, London and the continent again reacting in favor of this market. The proposed German credit by American bankers for purchases of foodstuffs and other raw materials effected no material change in German or Austrian rates. The feature of the bond market was the ready sale of the new state of Michigan 20 year 5s4 issue. Liberty and Victory issIes were firm to strong. but rails and industrials again lacked definite trend.

MUSHROOM GROWTH
 OF WILDCAT STILLS
By BRIGGS

Meridian, Miss, July 14.--(SpeciaL) Raids conducted by Sheriff John M. Martin and a party of deputies about six miles south of Meridian late yes- terday resulted in the location and destruction of five flourishing 1Uu- gallon capacity moonshine stills and large quantity of mash. No arrests were made, but one member of the moonshine gang was chased some distance in the woods The raiders al- so discovered places where nine stills had recently been operated, but had been moved. Whisky, it is alleged, has been coming into the city in great quantities from this direction for tue past several weeks and the sheriff organized his forces and went on a still hunt, which although not re- sulting in arrests up to the pesent is considered to have been successful in a marked degree.

HEDGE SELLING IS CAUSE OF AN EASY
 COTTON MARKET
The General Market Closed Barely Steady at a Net De- cline of Twenty to Thirty
 one Points on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, July 14.-The cotton market was easier today owing tc continued hedge selling and scattered liquidation. There reiterated reports of an active spot demand, but ther e seemed to be a feeling that consid- erable cotton was available around present prices while the disposition was probably increased by a favor able weather map. At any rate after an early advance to 1S.22c, October broke to 12.S2c or S1 points net lower and closed at 12,S5c, compared with 1313c at the close yesterday. The general market closed barely steady at net decline of 20 to 31 points.
 The market opened at an advance of points to a decline of l point but firmed up right after the call on the increased spot business reported in Liverpool. July sold at 12.50c and December at 13.60c, making net ad- vances of about 6 to g points and new high ground for the movement on the active positions. The easier ruling of Liverpool futures in spite of the larger spot sales, discouraged fresh buying on the advance, how ever. and the market soon turned easier under realizing.
 This gradually increased as prices worked lower during the afternoon and there was more hedge selling tr- ward the close accompanied by re- ports that the new crop was begin ming to move in the southwest. Ac- cording to private advices from Houston it is being offered at l0J points under october at New Yort, which would be sli ightly above prices at which old crops are said to be available Nevertheless there seemed to be some uncertainty as to the et- feet of new crop receipts on holders of old crop supplies and the lowest prices of the day were touched in the late trading with July selling St 1217c and December at 13.26c. The census report showing domestic mil of 461 ,656 bales Tor june was a little better than expect ed. but without any apparent 'n- fluence.
 Liverpool spot sales of 10000 bales were the biggest for the movement and included 11,000 bales for export sugges sting increased interest on the continent. Private cables attributed the decline in futures there to real'z- ing and hedge selling.

HUBBARD COTTON LETTER

New York. July l4.-( Special. .)- Spot sales were again very large in Liverpool, being 20.00O for the day. record figure for this year. How ever, realizing sales made their ap- pearance in the market so the early advance was lost.
 Our market has ruled fairly steady up until the late afternoon, when scme local short selling made it's ap- pearance. principally based on the theory that as the market has failed to advance in face of the spot sales it should decline the minute Liver pool shows any signs of sitatings
 Weather conditions in the western belt were more favorable, but too much rain is falling in the central and eastern sections. Consumption figures showed an increase of some 22 900 bales over last month, all though 90.O00 bales less than the same month last year, with stocks in mill warehouses showing an in- crease of 100000 bales over the corresponding period last year.

CAMPBELL < CO.'S I.ETrnn

Liverpool was again bouyant. with sales 10000. and later increased to 10000. The same interests were handed out as buyers throughout the session. Our market acted in iiquidating matter throughout the late session; however, reports were to the effect that spots were Tn fair demand from all sections of the belt
 The weather we would call favor able, but we can easily have too much rain in the eastern belt, and unless we get clearing conditions soon we expect quite howl from the rasages of the boil weevil.
 We continue our constructive thought and think cotton bought on tohishts close will show nice profit.
