WASHINGTON. Nov 24.-The Anglo
japanese alliance today Ioomed larger
than ever before as the rock on which
the armament conference may split. With
the attitude of the United States and
Great Britain on this question
Numerically opposed, it was made per
fectly evident that the British delegation
intends to press its views to the utmost.
Suggestions thrown out a few days ago
in semi official British quarters that
Great Britain would not consider abrogat-
ing the alliance have been emphatically
and officially confirmed. though with the
qualification that n tri-partite agreement
between Great Britain, the United States
apd Japan might be welcomed as q sub
stitute.

! SAY. ALLIANCE
WILL STAY.

Two members of the British delegation
fGtIy stated, that Great. Britain will not
dehounce the alliance and a third has
suggested the tripartite solution. The
unanimity with which all spokesmen for
the British delegation have recoVnted th>
services Of Japan as an ally during the
war is suggestive Of a concerted effort
to impress on the American public the
high value which Great Britain sets on
the alliance Il IS remarke too especially
In Chinese quarters. that In the eulogies
of Japan no mention is made of the 81
demands which the japanese submitted
to China in 1918.
Meanwhile. the attitude Of the United
States toward the Anglo Japanese pact
remains unchanged. Despite repeated I'M
official assurances to the contrary, this
Government is convinced the continued
existence Of this offensive and Mefensive
agreement is IN direct opposition to the
best interests of the American people.

Country Offerings to Arriue Acted
 as Counterbalance
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 11.-Free country o6- ferings to arrive did a good deal in the wheat market today to counter balance adverse crop conditions northwest. Prices closed steady 1ac net lower to a like advance, with September s1.1S to '$1.1SA and De- cember s1.21 to s1.21A. Corn gained ssc to a4c, oats finished 1s@ Ac off to 5sc up, and provisions unchanged to 17c higher.
 At first the wheat market showed considerable strength with trader s giving much attention to high tenn peratures in the northwest and to a renewal of misgivings about black rust in Minnesota and North Dakota. Later, however, indications that the movement of new wheat was increas- ing became a principal factor. As a result greater hedging pressure pre- iums for No. ? hard wheat and for No. red winter disappeared and 25, ,00 bushels were sold to go to store. In this connection, the continuance of the strike of elevator employees here operated as a drag on the market. Some complaint was made of car shortage in the southwest On the other hand predictions were for cooler weather in the spring crop belt
 Absence of rains, together with re- ports that corn was commencing to fire m parts of Illinois and Indiana, had a bullish effect on the corn mar ket. Oats averaged higher in sym pathy with corn.
 Provisions reflected good domestic and export demand as well as up turns in the value of hogs.

SUGAR MARKET.


 New York, July Il. The local mar ket for raw suger was firm but no further change was recorded in local quotations which are quoted at 4,5tc for centrifugal There were addi- tional sales today of 15,000 NbaGs ot Porto Ricos at that level and an outport refiner paid 450c for 2S,0O0 bags and at the close additional lots were offered at 4.5Oc but local re- liners did not appear inclined to pay above 4.37c. No additional sales sales were reported by the commit tee today, although late last week. they sold 5000 Cuba centrifugals to France at 2.SSc f. O. b. Cuba.
 The strength in tne spot market caused a firmer feeling in raw sugar futures and closing prices were at the best of the day and from five to eight points net higher on covering and buying py trade and commission houses July closed at S.0Sc; Septem- ber 5.10c; December 2.S2c; March S279c. There was another advance of ten points in the price of refined sugars by three of the leading re- liners to the basis of 5.60c for fine granulated. Two, however, were un- changed at 5.20e and while there was a good demand at the lower figures, all orders were not being accepted but on the whole business was again of fair proportions,
 There was a steadier feeling in refined futures early and after prices had advanced 15 points on GOV aring. they eased off, and at the close were net unchanged from the previous close, although business was light and confined to the September delivery. July closed at 5,60c; September 5.70c and December 5.65c

AN EARLY ADVANCE
 IN COTTON CHECKED ASSESS|ON CLOSED
Market Closed Steady, Net Unchanged to Twenty nine Points Higher on the
 Days Trading
By Associated Press

New York, July l1.-A further ad e vance on improving export pros poets and less favorable Texas crop advices met sufficient realizing to cause reactions In the cotton mar ket today.

 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 12 to 17 points in response to the strength of Liverpool better reports from Manchester and the lar ger spot sales reported in the Engl!sn market Buying was promoted Ly complaints of renewed rain in he southwest and before the end of the morning active months sold about 20 to 25 points net higher with July touching f2.47c and December 13.bXc,
 There was some scattered southern selling as well as realizing at thesn figures. which caused reactions of some 10 to 12 points during the early afternoon Otherwise there seemed to be very little pressure, however. and some positions reached the higf- est prices of the day in the late trad ing when July sold at 12.52c and De- cember rallied from 13.42c to 1359c Probably some of the late buying was on expectations that the unfa- vorable Texas weather and crop news would stimulate the Liverpool mar ket tomorrow
 Today's spot sales in Liverpool to 12,000 bales, the largest for months, and included 1.500 bales for export suggesting that the re- vival of interest was also felt on the continent. Private advices received from the south said there was a con. tinued demand from exporters, and there was some further switching of short contracts to later months with New Orleans operators buying March and selling May.
 Reports of an improved tone in the domestic goods market contributed to the advance, but the factors chief ly mentioned were the export demand and southwestern rain news. Ru mors that returns to a southern au- thority pointed to a mid month con- dition of 70.4 were unconfirmed.

NEW YORK COTTON Nv Aasociafed Presr
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press

New Orleans, July 11.-Cotton was higher from the opening today, all though there was stage during the middle part of the session when the advances were not we'll sustained. In the late trading there was renewed steadiness which carried July to its highest price of the day, 12.04c where it stood 30 points over the close of last week Closing prices were at net gains of 15 to 30 points, July closing at its best.
 The advances were due partly to further favorable comment regarding the situation in the spot department and partly to too much rain in Texas with prospects that more rain would fall. Liverpool was better than due, which helped make a high CT opening here and reported spot sales of 12,0o bales, the largest days trading in months, while spot mar kets of the cotton region, both east and west of the Mississippi river, mand with none too liberal offer ings. Augusta wired "The foreign demand continues unabated."
 In the early trading, the market was 20 to 27 points up. Longs com menced to realize at this advance and finally their offerings became heavy enough to force a reaction, under which the market fell back to net gains of only 5 to points on the more active months. In the after noon. new buying came in. plainly based on anticipation of another fla orable Liverpool market in the morning and there was immediate re- sponse to 1t.

New York, July 1l.- Special. .)--A continued general spot demand with sales of 12,000 bales in Liverpool caused a sharp advance in that mar ket today. Our market failed to mee. the improvement abroad, due to heavy realizing orders against purchases made last week. However, the wealth CT map was again unfavorable with heavy showers in the Mississippi val ley, east Texas and the Atlantic states with prospects of more.
 Also the reports from the dry goods district were more encourag- ing, and we call attention to the article in today's Journal Commerce regarding the scarcity of supplies in the winter knit goods market. As an excellei.t illustration of the effect of the steady curtailment during the ,past six months. We expect an ad- vancing market so long as the basis continues to hold and the weather is vorable-Hubbard Bros. & Co.,.

With Liverpool much better than due with large sales of 12.00o, our market opens 5 to 1c points higher and soon sold some IS points higher. closing within few points of the best.
 It was a dull affair throughout the session with good undertone show ing same class of buyers as we have witnessed for the past few days. The trade Is growing fearful of the west ern weather conditions, with more rain in the west, 1t looks as if the shorts will become frightened, and we are likely to see higher market. We think the better plan is to con fine buying on soft spots.
