 something lively happened from the Inlnute the curtain went up on Forty Minutes of Fun the minstrel first part, until Lieut.. R. S. Rosenhauer, director of the production, brought the entertainment to a close with "Motor Troubles," an original act which some of the aspirants for big time vaude- Vile might do well to initiate.
 Charlie and the Girls proved to be one of the surprise features of a sur prising show. They brought an un- expected finish to a tumult of fun. And then there was the saxaphone quartette to push the entertainment close to the speed limit. They opened up the muffler and carried the audi ence around the musical race track to winning finish.
 But why go into lengthy details when Phoenix will have another chance to see the production tonight! There will be three new acts added tc the program presented last night which included Harrison in Ter Minutes of Salve: Wieberg and Hen- shaw in Just Nuts''; Johnnie Girant In Dads Boy; Sympathy Orchestra shadowgraph; Frank Perry in Five Minutes in Birdland"-and Frank is some whistler; Hill and Newberry il

A PERPENDICULAR
 DROP IN COTTON
 AT CLOSING HOUR
Last Quotations Were Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 23 to 29 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York. July 2e.-The really i'm portant movement in the cotton mar ket today came just before the close when prices had a perpendicular drop of over 30 points under heavy selling by one of the leading commission houses and private cables from Man chester to the effect that there was no demand or any prospects for trade revival until September or October. The market closed barely steady at net decline of 23 to 20 points.
 At the opening the market was steady in tone with prices two to ten points lower in sympathy with poor cables and reports of favorable weather in the belt. Rallies followed and for the greater part of the day pressure in evidence and sentiment rather inclined to be more bouyant on reports of a better spot demand at New orleans and renewed Wall absorbed the scattered offerings fl om local and southern sources.
 Although half dozen more private crop reports are due this week. none appeared today ana Dulls attempted tu create an lmpr esslou lndl lIiose to come may nol ue so Dearlsn as the two which nave aIreauy been puD- lIsned.

Al one time after the opening October reached 12.35c or 12 points above the prevIous close but on the late break it went to 11.97c and the whole mar ket closed practically at the lowest of the day.

New Orleans, July 26.-While the cotton market was steady al small advances during the greater part of the session today, there were declines on the opening and again on the close and the net results were net losses of 22 to 23 points, The heav- jest trading and greatest selling pressure came in the last half hour following the report of the first bale of the new Georgia crop arriving at Savannah Last year the first Geor- gia bale was reported on August {, The trade was surprised at the earliness of this years first bale and selling movement immediately got under way.
 Early selling was due to poor cables but after losses of to 10 points the market became decidedly steady on claims of much better feeling in the spot markets of the interior and on claims of severe deterioration in Texas, especially in sections where boil weevil and boil worms are most numerous. Some points contended that the crop had suffered deterior- ation of 80 per cent in the last few days and estimates were numerous that Texas as whole would lose from to points in condi- tion for the month of July.
 The market towards noon was II to 15 points higher than the close of yesterday with October at 11S6c. In the early session October traded as low as 11.65c.
 Late in the day the market became very active with heavy selling for both accounts, under which October fell to 11.51c, at which level the trad ing months were 20 to "A points under yesterdays final prices

been far greater since 1900 than it was at that time thought probable. We have been growing record breaking crops and may grow one this year Therefore the financing of the crops this year will entail large credits and funds.
 Yet one of the leading financial au- thorities of New York says at the crop financing requirements great as these will be will cause stringency and no strain upon the banks be- cause the American banking sys- tenn IS now in fine position to meet late summer and early autumn re- quests for credit"
 When the crops are on their. way to the markets and when certain mpor- tant financing is completed of which the credit granted to many which will enable her to purchase Ameri- can food products is example, then perhaps the public will begin to recognize that improvement has be- gun, and that depression is ending and with that recognition will come better feeling which of itself will stimulate industry and business.

Export Wheat Sales
 Strengthen Market
 in Chicago Grain Pit
Ky Associated Press

Chicago, July 26-Export sales, said to aggregate 100000 bushels. had a strengthening effect on the wheat market today. Prices closed steady at the same as yesterdays finish to A cent higher with September at s123A to SPA, and December, s1.2sh to S1.26A. Corn lost hc to 340Ac. and oats, % @ Hc to %c. In provisions the outcome varied from Sc decline to 7c advance.
 Exporters were after wheat at in- terior points and at the seaboard as well as here. The southwest in par ticular noted brisk cash demand and it was said Belgium, Holland and Germany were in the market as buy CTS. The fact that receipts at all the leading centers were less than on yesterday counted, too in some de- gree, as a bullish factor. Shortly after the opening, however, the trade was confronted by reports from of ficials of the Canadian agricultural department that the Canadian crop was expected to be bumper" one This report led to considerable sell ing and temporarily depressed prices, but the market frightened up again after midday. and opinion became prevalent that export business was being underestimated and that despite recent big receipts no great surplus accumulation would remain to be dis posed of.
 Prospects of showers eased the corn market. Oats were depressed by country selling
 High quotations on hogs made the provision market show a tendency to advance.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

New York. July 26.-(Special.)- Cur market opened few points down on weaker cables from Liver pcol. however, soon after the open ing, Liverpool bought along with the the trade, while the south and wire houses sold. The market eased off during the morning session on better weather over the belt Spots in Liv- erpool were only 5000, which leads us to believe that Liverpool demands have been met. at least temporarily. The market was quiet and dull dur ing the entire day. with little outside business.
 If good weather continues. the m arket can be expected to ease off naturally, and as spell Of gooo weather Is looked forward to, the market will consequently reflect the condition. This, we believe, will be a temporary condition. and we look forward in the long run to an im- pr oyement in prices.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Wither Liverpool seven to four teen points lower than ude, our mar ket opened better than due.

 After making further decline of about 10 to 12 points the market steadied up to within 10 to 12 points above last nights prices where more southern hedge selling came into the market and ran the market off tc 11.96 for October
 The weather Is construed favorable over the belt and the outstanding conditions seem to favor the bears. but we feel that the market should have a better tone tomorrow and look for an advance after the early hedge selling.

Harding's Message to Con- gress Urging Payment of Obligations to TranSpor-

By Associated Press

New York, July 26-Tradng in stocks today was trifle broader and more active, but the increased deal ings were largely at the expense of values, many leaders showing ex- treme declines of 1 to points.
 President Harding's message to Congress urging payment of obliga- tions to the transportation systems, farm credits and Realization of ex- ports failed to stimulate bullsh in itiative in the slightest degree.
 Rails were listless and littl al tered, but steels, equipments. oils, motors and the many specialties more less dependent upon those issues were under intermittent pressure. Leathers were adversely affected by the poor quarterly statement of the Central Leather company and advices fro mthe middle west and New Eng land indicated further slackening of industrial production.
 Publication of the United States Steel corporations statement for the second quarter issued after the close of the session, showed total earnings of S21,S92,016 the smallest returns of any quarter since March of 1915.
 The only development in the money market, were call and time funds held at recent quotations, was slight easing of rates for bank acceptances and additional buying of commercial paper Another reaction in foreign exchange with especial heaviness In Scandinavian remittances was again ascribed to sales in London nd Paris of sterling bills against purchases of dollar exchange.
 Business in the bond market fell off slightly, but the recent strong tons among rails and new corporate offerings was fully maintained. Lib erty issues were irregular but most internationals ignored the weakness of exchange showing variab able ad- vances. Total sales par value s10,- 650,0O0.
