NEW YORK COTTON Ry A AssociatAl pr.sa
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Assocjated Pres.

New Orleans, August 4.-Sensation- al reports of crop damage poured in- 10 the cotton market today from Texas, causing higher range of values, practically from the opening In the early part of the afternoon the market was at it's highest, show ing net gains of % to 27 points. The close was at net gains of 14 to 17
 points. October went as high as l2.I6c and closed at 12.66c. Recessions came about every now and then and appeared to be almost wholly, due to realizing of profits on the long side In the last half hour of the day con siderable of this sort of feeling was in evidence.
 While the market hesitated on the first call, it soon got its stride and by the end of the first hour of the day was 21 to 23 points up. Then followed period of profit taking by recent buyers, and prices eased off to net gains of about 10 points Texas continued to send in highly unfavora- ble reports on the crop and they had thelr influence in the later trading when the market went to new high levels for the session.
 Texas reports related mainly to the effect on the plant of the spell of hot and dry weather which set in a short time ago. Important counties in several sections of the state noted unusual deterioration as the result of weather conditions and localities in western Texas complained of hot winds.

Setback in Wheat Caused by Trader
 L:quidating Holdings
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 4-Liquidating sales that were ascribed to a promi- nent New York trader had much to do today with bringing about 8 material setback In the price of wheat. The market closed unsettled, 1% to 214 cenSs net lower with September sf.2!A to $1.211A and De- cember $124A to $1.2413. Corn lost F @ $ to # 9 X cents, oats 9s O 1a to 24 cents and provisions to 45 cents.
 The New Yorker who was generally believed to have led the selling Of wheat today is said to have been a free buyer at higher prices With other longs also letting go of their holdings and with considerable pres sure from hedging sales. the market proved weak the greater part of the day. Persistent slowness of export demand counted as d notable factor in developing bcarish sentiment and so too, did gossip that spring wheat farmers were likely to sell heavily as soon as thTeshing allowed. Con siderable export business in wheat appeared to develop on the breaks but on the other hand an opinion was prevalent that large part of the recent big European demand for corn was to use that grain instead or wheat for human consumption.
 Increased rural offerings had a bearish effect on corn Continued heavy receipts weakened oats
 Provisions were pulled down by sympathy with grain and hogs.

SUGAR MARKET Rv Associated Press

New York, August 1.-The raw su- gar market was firm and unchanged at 31z for Cubas, cost and freight equal to 4.S6c for centrifugal. Late last night there were sales of 10000 tons by the committee to the United Kingdom. Today local refiners pur- chased 47,0o0 bags of Cubas from the committee for August shipment, and there also were sales of 1S,000 bags of Porto Ricos. all at equal to 4,S6c for centrifugal.
 There was only moderate trade Tn raw sugar futures, but the under tone was firm and prices advanced on covering, and commission house buying, closing unchanged to four points net higher. September closed at 3.31c: December, 3.13c, and March, 2.s6c: all bid.
 The market for refined sugar was irregular. One refiner re-entered the market at 6.S5c for fine granulared. while several advanced price list prices 15 points, to the basis of 615c for fine granulated. The demand was less active, and business went mostly to the lower priced refiners. who were in a position to make prompt delivery.
 Business in refined sugar futures was confined to the August delivery and represented covering, but the un- dertone was firm, and closing quota tions were unchanged to 12 points net higher, August showing the ma K imum gain. September closed at 6.20c; December, 610c; March, 5.SOc; all bid.

BULLISH AVERAGE
 CAUSED ADVANCES IN COTTON MARKET
General Market Closed Bare ly Steady at a Net Advance of 15 to 29 Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, August 4.-Renewed ad- vances on the continued bullish av- craze of private crop advices and favorable trade reports, met increased offerings over the 13 cents levei for October contracts again today. On the whole, however. the selling was less active than on previous bulges sorbed on smaller reactions. october made new high ground for the move ment, advancing to 1S 17c and closed at 13.12c with the general market closing barely steady at net ad- vance of To to 29 points.
 Early cables from Liverpool were lower. but prices there rallied before the local opening, and the start here was firm al an advance of 12 to 10 points on the very bullish character of crop advices from the southwest. These included a telegram from the traveling representative of a promi- nent local spot firm claiming that the Texas crop would not reach D. 000,0 000 bales if conditions did not soon change for the better. There were also scattering complaints of usually severe reterioration, partic- ularly in central and northern Texas  and unfavoraDle reports from eastern belt sections on which December soon sold up from l3.4Sc to 13.60c.
 Reactions Follow
 Reactions of nine or ten points fol lowed this early advance but the best levels of the day were reache,I in the later trading on reports that hedge selling had become less active and that the spot basis was firmer in some parts of the south. Decem- Der sold at 1S69c and January at 13.56c with last prices only few points off from the best under realizing.
 The advance was encouraged by re- ports of increased activity in the goods market exporting interests be- ing quoted to the effect that more than 100000 bales of goods have been sold since the first of the year and that five times the business can be done were goods available for prompt shipment at present prices.
 Private cables attributed the early decline in Liverpool to liquidation ln dull market and the later adviees of poor accounts from the south and moderate spot demand.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW

Cleveland. O., August 4.-(Special) 4 The Iron Trade Review today says:
 New tonnage in iron and steel is growing in moderate way. Orders are more numerous. but their small ness individually still reflects gen. eral caution of buyers. Confidence in stabilization of prices apparently is yet to be won before sizeable ac- tivity can be stimulated.
 Encouraging aspects of the situa- tion are increasing evidence of re- duced stocks in consumers hands, and some expansion of current needs. Best buying continues in wire pro- ducts and in tubular goods. Sheet demand base picked up considerably the past two weeks. Mahoning valley sheet production this week being at 52 per cent of capacity, the best rec ord since December. Prices have been less irregular this week. but remain unsettled in certain lines de- spite manifest effort of various in dependent mills to more consistently maintain last reductions.

STOCK MOVEMENTS ON EXCHANGE WERE RATHER NARROW
Higher Money Rates ConSti. tuted Deterrent Factor on Trading for the Long
 Accounts
By Associnted Pres.

New York, August Achievements on the stock exchange today were marrow and hesitating Trading was about resumption of yesterdays decline met with no greater success than attempts toward a renewal of the recent upward swing.
 The opening was irregular with an easier tonight which soon devel- oped a definite downward move ment Further profit taking in rail- road shares, which were marked up earlier in the week was accompanied by pressure at other points, includ- ing American sugar, Central Leather, General Electric, United Drug and American. Locomotive. There were mo large offerings as the market eased off and the decline was soon checked. Short covering and re- newed buying of rails brought about a stiffening of the list, but in the late dealings selling was renewed, and the closing was heavy Motor shares were conspicuous in the trad ing. Under the lead of Studebaker they were bid up confidently on the carly rise, achieving some substah- tial gains, although their best prices were not Tld10ldlneu, IleiCe-AilO l " shares were exceptions. The pre- ferred was forced down four points on the late decline.
 Higher money rates constituted a deterrent factor in trading for the long account. After renewing at b12, call money advanced to per : cent as compared with a low rate of 315 last week.
 A feature of the day was the strength of the foreign exchanges. Sterling, francs and lire were par ticularly strong. Sterling advanced nearly cents.
 In the bond market there was some slackening of the demand Tor rall- road and industrial issues Various 3ines reflected profit taking but there was good absorption of con vertible issues.

COFFEE MARKET Ry A AsSaciaiAd Rraaa

New York. August 1.-The market for coffee futures was lower today under liquidation, which was some- what scattering at the start, but later appeared to come chiefly from one of the houses with cotton trade connections. The somewhat irrcgu- lar ruling of Rio exchange rates may have been a factor, but otherwise no new feature was mentioned in con nection with the decline. The mar ket opened three to six points lower, and sold off to 6.5Sc for September and 7.0Sc for December late in the afternoon. with the close showing a net decline of 12 to 19 points. Sales, including switches, were approxi- 1nately 61,000 bags September, 6.59c; october. 6.75c; December, rose; Jan uary. 7.17c; March, 7.42c; May. 1920; July, 7.75c.
 Spot coffee was reported in good demand at 7sc to 7Ac for Rio 7s. and 9%c to 1012c for Santos As. Firm offers were unchanged to a shade higher, including Santos 4s, at l0% c to 1105c, American credits.
 The official cables reported an ad- vance of 100 res in the dollar buy ing rate, with Rio exchange on Lon. don Md higher. The Santos market was unchanged, to 75 reis lower. Rio was quoted unchanged to 125 ~eis lower by the early cable, but later recovered the loss. Brazilian port receipts, 46,000; Jundiahy receipts, 31,000.

HUBBARD's LETTER

New York, August 4.-(Special.)- Our market opened 10 to 12 points higher on better Liverpool cables. Commission houses were fairly good buyers of October around 13c. This buying gave an impetus to the mar ket and prices continued to advance some Is points over opening prices. Reports from Texas indicated that the state is very much in need of rain, and other scattered reports ind- cate that deterioration is going on very rapidly.
 The spot basis continues strong and southern sellers are advising spinners to enter the market If they contemplate replenishing their stock O, good spinnable cotton. The re- ports of the last few days lead us to believe that the crop is not pro- xressing as favorably as was expect ed. The question now arises as to whether the cotton growers will be able to hold their cotton for higher prices or whether they will find it necessary to sell as soon as the crop is made. We anticipate gradual ini- provement.-Hubbar Bros Co
