be in the field this year with a rep
rosentative baseball team. 1t is true
that there is plenty of material avail
able but the two efforts that have
been made to get together a real

through the fact that it was started
too late and the nest egg for the
starting of a club was turned over

WEEKLY REVIEW
COTTON MARKET
Recessions and Upturns Quickly Fol-
lowed by Downward Movement.

NEW ORLEANS, July PA trad
ing market ruled in cotton last week,
fluctuations being a series of small
recessions and upturns, quickly fol-
lowing each other with the downward
movements more pronounced than the
upward movements, although none of
the price movements was prolonged.
In the early part of the week prices
were to 80 points higher than the
close of the preceding week with
October trading as high as 1912. Later
there was a drop to levels A to At
points under the close of the preced-
ing week with October off to 12t1.
From the highest to the lowest there
was a drop of 50 to rs points. On the
close the market showed net losses
for the week of SO to 46 points with
October at 1917. In the spot market
middling lost 10 points in the net re-
suits, closing at 11.75. A year ago
middling closed at 1915
For the downturns, less activity in
the spot department apparently con-
sequent upon the filling of July com
mittments, was responsible in some
measure, although on the end of the
week some of the selling could be
traced to the renewal at Washington
of agitation for anti-futures trading
legislation. Fairly favorable weather

tainty over the pending July report

oil IN DF Il.
general week caused more or less SELL
ing. There were early money markets
in this country and in England the re-
duction to 51a per cent of the Bank
of England rate and of the discount
rates of important development. The
plans for extensive financing of cot
ton announced by the federal reserve
board and the war finance corpora
ton were considered highly bullish.
The new attempts to bring about
legislation against futures trading
were all the more disconcerting to the
market because it was not understood
here how present plans for financing
cotton could be carried out We're the
futures market interfered with, since
most cotton loans are made against
lots that are protected by hedges in
the futures market.
1t was held here that anything that
would destroy hedges against actual
cotton against which loans had been
made would result disastrously to spo:
owners and to lenders.
This coming week, the main surface
feature of the market is expected by
traders to be the percentage of con-
dition of the crop on July 25, that date
ending the July condition period. There
is more than the usual difference of
opinion regarding what to expect from
the government in its report which is
due Monday, August 1.
