Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York August 26.--Reports ot continued deterioration and increas. ing trade activity have led to very sharp advance in the cotton market during the past week. 1ndi- cations that southern spot holders were refusing to follow the recent decline in futures. and that manu- lecturers were buying contracts ca reactions against an improving de. mand for goods, doubtless encour- aged the buying movement which was started at the beginning of tLe week by low private condition fig ures Demand became more active and general as prices worked higher until during today's trading October sold above l5.50c and May contracts touched the t6c level. These prices represented advances of about 2A cents per pound at the lower level and of to 4izc per pound from the low records of last June, adding about $2O to the value of bale ;.s compared with the June quotations. The heavy realizing encountered be- tween the 15c and i6c levels, was considered perfectly natural and led to rather sharp reactions this after noon, but comparatively little south- ern selling was reported here, and there was no change in the generally DulllSn dNCIaB VI NJ OP oAiN tA o>'S news, except for reports that show CTS were following recent excessively high temperatures in the southwest. Five of the private end-August crop reports have been issued during the week, pointing to condition of le- tween 5l and 52.7. compared with the official report of 64.7 last month. and to a crop indication of between T. 100000 and 7,47o,000 bales, com- pared with s,sos,ooO. the end-July figures.
 There will be more of these pri- vate reports before the official state- ment is issued next Thursday, which may influence sentiment to some OK tent. regarding the government
 showing. During the earlier part of the week the reports of improving trade came chiefly from domestic goods markets. but later Lancashire showed increasing activity resulting in part from a renewal of demand for goods from India. The latter may have been connected with she mid-week rally in Rupee exchangs. and Liverpool has reported a good trade demand there with a larger volume of spot business. Expecta- tions of freer. southern spot offar- ings at the advance probably in> creased the disposition to take prot it's here for over the weekend.

SPOT COFFEE Nv Assocjated Prexa

New York, August 26.-The market for coffee futures opened at de- cline of 6 to II points under scat tered selling which included some further liquidation of September con tracts owing to the circulation of rotices for about 60,000 bags. The offerings of September seemed to be readily absorbed on the decline to s .35c, however, and the price later rallied to 6.5oc. while December sold up from 6.S7c to 7c on covering. Trade interests were credited with buying September and accepting de- llvertes, but much of the September interest was switched to late months. Closing prices were to points off from the best, showing a net de cline of ? to s points. Sales were cs- timatcd at about 7i,o0 bags, of which. probably S5.00o represented ex- changes.

.F[EECY STAPLE
 ON STEADY CLIMB
 FOR 16-CENT MARK
May Touched 16c, While General List Closed Steady at Net Advance of 35
 to A Points
By Associated Press

New York. August 26.-There was continuation of the advance in cot ton, heavy realizing sales being read fly absorbed until prices had worked above 15h hc for October and upto 16c for May The profit taking then made more impression, with Decem- Der selling off from 15.SSc to 15.47c in the late trading, but closing at 15.66c. The general market closed steady at a net advance of 35 to A points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of to Is points under realizing and selling for a reaction, which was encouraged by the relatively easy Liverpool cables. the easier opening of foreign exchange, and the extent of recent advances. These offerings were soon absorbed by a broadening of general commission house demand promoted by the reiteration of bull lish crop advices, low private condi- ton figures and renewed reports of trade activity.
 Realizing Active
 Realizing continued active, but failed to check the advance or cause reactions of more than 10 or 15 points until well along in the after noon. when active months were 52 to 59 points above last nights closing figures. October contracts sold at 15.54c and January at 15.92c, making advances of about 275 to 2S5 points from recent low levels and of be- tween and 4lSc per pound from the low records of last June. The de- mand then became a little less active and later fluctuations were extreme ly nervous and irregular as result of profit taking. In May also there has been some selling for reaction, owing to reports of showers follow ing extreme temperatures in the southwest and prospects for cooler weather in Texas.
 Three more private crop reports were published during the morning, two of them making the condition 51 and the crop indication from 7,250. 900 to 7.300,000 bales while the third placed the condition at 51.A These reports were about in line with the two reports issued earlier in the week and probably served to strengthen expectations that the bu- reau will not be much over 51, com pared with 64.7 last month. Expec- tations of increased spot offerings at the higher price held to check the advance but very little southern sell ing was reported here today.

ness was light and principally in the form of evening up for over the weekend. Final prices were points higher to 10 net lower; September closed at 2 2.92c. December at 2.5Sc March .44c and May 2 soc.
 No changes occurred in the refined sugar market, but there was no in- crease noted in the demand which continues of a hand to mouth char acter. Prices were quoted at 5.S0c to Sc for fine granulated, while second- hand sugars are available at below renners' quotations.
 The market for refined futures was easier under scattered liquidation, closing unchanged to % points net lower. September closed at 5 soc December 5 65c. March 5 soc and May .65c, all bid.

Wheat Slumps on Aduices of Outside
 Buying Being Light
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 26.--Lack of out side buying and advices that Cana lian wheat as being offered at the seaboard on the same basis as Amer ican grain caused late slump in wheat today and tended to nullfy an otherwise strong market on the Chi . cago board of trade.
 Wheat finished quarter to 1 cent loer; corn ruled unchanged to x higher and oats were steady to quar- ter higher. In provisions, meats were generally unchanged, but lard was forced from five to 17h points higher.
 After some early wavering wheat worked upward with fair steadiness |until at noon December was s E cents above the low point of last Monday. House with eastern connections bought to remove hedges against ex- ports and the local trade became bull ish on statements that the farm loan law was bound to help business.
 The high point brought out in- creased pressure, the longs showing anxiety to unload when the advance failed to stimulate business from out side sources The Canadian reports accentuated the selling movement and as buying ceased all gains of the day were wiped out.
 Corn was active and higher, the chief factors being hot weather dam age reports from Kansas and Ne braska and big export sales. A firm undertone developed which enabled grain to resist the wheat slump.
 Oats followed the other grains, but trade was dull and the range narrow. Provisions were slightly more active and there was some trade In Septem- Der pork for the first time in several days. Export demand and bullish sem timent on the farm loan law were factors in forcing an advance in lard.
