 LIST YESTERDAY
The General Market Closed Steady at Net Advance of TWenty-three to Thirty
 Points on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, July 1S.-Yesterday' reactions was followed by renewed firmness In the cotton market todAy with prices selling back to hearty the high points of Monday. After ad- vancing to 1309c early, october eased off to 12.S9c but touched 13.17c in the late trading and closed at 13.13c, compared with 12.S5c at :he close yesterday. The general market closed steady at net advance of 25 to 30 points.
 The opening was firm at an ad vance of 13 to IS points owing to the renewed strength of Liverpool fu- lures and the continued active spot demand reported in the English mar ket. Reports of a better tone in the domestic goods trade were a factor and after some further scattering liquidation and southern hedge sell ing had, been absorbed, the market sold some 20 to 24 points net higher during the middle or the morning. A somewhat broadening commission house demand was reported on the advance but above the 13 cent level for October, there was renewed real izing and probably some southern selling.
 This was promoted by rather more favorable weekly weather re port than anticipated and prices eased back to within a few points Jt last nights closing quotation with July selling at l2.25c and December at 13.3Oc. Houses with Japanese con necttons were good buyers of Octo- Der on this decline, however, and the market firmed up again during the afternoon owing to the continued a5- sence of southern hedge selling in any important volume and continued reports of a good spot demand.
 Prices reached the highest level ot the day in the late trading with De- cember selling up to 13.56c. Closing prices were in few points Of the best. The firmness of the late mar ket was attributed 10 reports that Japanese interests were buying spots for both old and new crop shipment the better tone of the stock market and a renewal of trade demand, In cluding southern and Atlantic spot firm buying.

Rust Development Causes Another Big
 Upward Suing
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 13.-Rapid develop ment of black rust gave fresh impe- tus today to the upward swing of the price of wheat After showing gains of 5Nc, the market closed nervous, 314c to 4Ac net higher, with Septem- Der s1.2SA to s1.2Sh, and December s1301z to s1.S1. Corn finished $ 10 s4c up, and oats up % to 1c. Provi- sions closed unchanged to 15 cents higher.
 The traders displayed special in terest in North Dakota dispatches, saying that fields which fortnight ago seemed free of black rust were today all badly infected. Other dis in the state were wore than the trade had generally believed. and that hot winds had cost millions of bushels. With continued high temperatures and absence of rain, the rule in this country and with no abatement of tha European drought, buying orders took on large proportions, and it was near the end of the session before profit taking on the part of holders led to any material setbacks. A lead ing elevator concern was conspicuous in the buying, and another strength ening factor was urgent demand from exporters for hard winter grades. On the upturn, December de- livery touched the highest price yet for that month this saeson.
 Corn and oats showed independent strength as result of smallness of rural offerings. About 175,000 bush els of corn in store here was posted as out of condition. Provisions av- eraged higher with grain. notwith- standing weakness in the hog mar ket

DULLNESS OF THE D-SUMMER SORT
 INVADED STOCKS
Call Loans Did Not Rise Above Six Per Cent, and All the Time Loans Were at
 the Same Figure
Ky AssocIntcd Press

New York, July 13.-Midsummer CT dullness prevailed in today's sotek market until the final hour, when shorts were driven to cover on sharp upward movement in foreign oils.
 Mexican Petroleum, which had dominated the early and intermediate periods of the sessions, was lifted nearly eight points. to 107A, and affiliated issues, notably Pan-Ameri- can Petroleum and General Asphalt. strengthened.
 variably, but gains and losses were irregularly mixed at the close. Many high grade rails and industrials were only occasionally quoted in the mar kets more apathetic stages.
 Extreme weakness was shown by preferred shares of the more obscure industrials and specialties. Pierce Arrow, Willys- Overland. Pierce Oil, Lggett& Myers Tobacco, New York Air Brake and General Electric reacted two to five points, the latter, however, making almost full recov- cry
 Changes among rails, in which dealings were unusually light, were nominal for the most part, although Canadian Pacific, Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville and Nashville and several other coalers eased on small offer iEgs.
 The weekly survey of trade condi tions by the Iron Age, which referred to steel operations as "unimportant" was supplemented by the report of the Lackawanna Steel company for the second quarter of the year. This disclosed net earnings of less than s30o,000, against s3,123,0o0 in the same quarter last year.
 Call loans did not rise above per cent, and all time loans were quoted at that figure. Business in foreign exchange was perfunctory, most rates, however, strengthening.
 In the bond list the trend was mainly higher. Liberty issues and speculative rails hardening. Cuba cane Is improved on prospect of a Cuban loan, and foreign war flotd- tions strengthened. Total sales, par value, s11,S75,0000.

Lingo, home demonstration agent for Barbour county, and Mrs. Louise M. Riley, home demonstration agent for Mobile county, and Prof. C. c. Starcher head of the horticultural de- partment at Auburn, strongly recom- mends that this campaign be made general throughout the state.
 In the first place, the reasons for fall gardens are more than usual this year. They are always needed, but there Is a particular need this year. due to the fact that the weather in the early spring was unfavorable and that during ne last few weeks the hot, dry weather has literally burned up gardens IT. many set1oIs of the state There ')ro, fal gai den is tables is to be lad durins the fall and winter
 Anticipating the insect and fungus dis sae> '!a;hases,, Professor Starcher recommends that the fail garuens be planted q. least a short distance from the spring gardens. where Insects and diSea ses have accumulated.

With Liverpool better than due by Is to Is points and sales 10000 our market opened some 20 points higher and after selling within few points of the previous close on weekly bearish government weather report soon hardened and closed within a few points of the best of the day.
 Japanese and Liverpool interests were reported as good buyers during the session and coupled with a better spot demand reported throughout the .outh the bears had a hard time in trying to depress values.
 We would not be at all surprised to see the shorts get nervous within the next 24 hours and run, If so we will have a considerable higher level.
 Those that followed us yesteroay are sticking and will, we think see q higher market tomorrow,

They argue that as soon as the immediate de- mand in Manchester is filled up prices will again slump because they do not see any big demand from the American trade appearing. As coi- sequence the general feeling is that the market will not go higher and will probably decline. We do not agree with this view as we believe that the improvement in Manchester reflects a better condition. throug' . out the world rather than purely local English situation. In addition the basis on spot cotton in the south continues to remain strong and 90 long as this happens no permanent decline can be expected here and any deterioration in the crop can bring about higher prices.-Hubbard Bros. .2 Co
