NEW YORK COTTON By Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, July 29.-Shorts cov- cred in the cotton market today and put the price to higher levels after losses of to 2 points around the opening Supplementng the demand from shorts after the middle of the session was new buying on bullish private conditions reports and cable grams from Liverpool stating that short time had ended in the spinning section of the Lancashire cotton trade, and that mills were free to choose their own running time. This was regarded as an important devel- opment and highest prices were reached on the strength it gave the market The trading months rose to levels 1o to 17 points higher than the close of yesterday, October trad ing up to II. 5sc. The close was at net gains of II to IS points, with October at 1.53c.
 The early losses were due to the spot sales of only 5000 bales in the Liverpool market. but they did not last long, owing to the demand that sprang up among shorts, who ap- peared to be covering preparatory to going over the pending bureau re- ports. During the greater part of the session the ring was poorly sup piled with contracts. The weather over the belt was dry with temper atures somewhat above the seasonal average, and was considered favor able, but it led to no fresh selling, which was set down by most brokers as being due to the influence of re- ports from the interior claiming rather extensive shedding.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York, July 29.-As result of selling pressure and or a nioie favorable weather in the oeN LII" cotton market this week declined to new low levels for the month put eh- countered fairly good buying at the decline which promoted moderats rallies towards the end of the week. Of the seven private crop reports 1s- sued thus far the average decline was an 10S points, compared with a normal deterioration of a.4 for the period.
 Only one of the seven showed a decline in excess of the normal, while New Orleans house that has been almost identical with the govern ment figures of the past two months. reported condition of 6S at the end of July The indications of these seven authorities would suggest 8 government condition figure on Mon day of around 67.5 with a total crop indication of about s,Soo.ooo bales, compared with S,43S,000 bales, f1ei. cated a month ago.
 Much interest has been taken in evidences of activity in the cotton goods trade, especially in the demand for ginghams which have become suddenly popular throughout the country, necessitating run on the mills which have been forced to adopt night work in some cases and the restarting of New England mills which had been shut down for some time. This news was supplemented by Manchester advices to the effect that organized short time in the spinning section had been ended af- fecting nearly 40,000,00O spindles which use American cotton.
 Whether or not the movement Of new cotton which has commenced in southern Texas and parts of Georgia and Alabama becomes burden on the market which depend somewhat upon the use made of private and government financing projects aimed to assist the marketing of the crop While bulls maintain that the low price alone will limit the marketing to offerings sufficient only to satisfy the most urgent needs of farmers for money. There have been quite lib- eral exports this week. but it is claimed that much of the business represents old sales or is consigned cotton.

 This American industry has been constantly improving its methods of manufacturing. It has been able to pay much higher wages than those gained by silk workers in other lands, probably as much as $10o,- e00,00 were paid to the American silk workers in the year 1919, and yet it has entered the foreign mar kets with success, having achieved something which 20 years ago would have deemed impossible. That is the almost complete control of the Amer ican market for silk goods except ing a few special kinds which are manufactured abroad, and also a sur plus which enabled them to market in foreign lands near s3o'ooo'ooo vorth of made silk.

BULL|SH COTTON NEWS CAUSES THE
 STAPLE ID GO UP
Close Was Nevertheless Steady at a Net Rise of Seven to Ten Points
 on the Day
By AssocIafed Press

New York, July 29.-Enough bull ish news developed in the cotton market today to give prices an up- ward trend which at one ume re- suited in advances of 11 to 70 points over last nish., carrying Dc.JJe; to 12.12c, and December to 196Oc. Part of this advance yielded to later realizing, but the close was never the less steady at net rise of [ to 10 points.
 At the opening, selling pressure from New Orleans, and foreign in terests weakened prices partially 4 points and later offerings sent Oc tober to 11.SSc, or points under the previous close, but further decline was prevented by increasing of a bullish nature from Texas, where temperatures have been high and crop conditions more extensive, ac- cording to a number of private ad- vices received here.
 The upward movement received later impetus through favorable ad vices from the dry goods district and cables reporting that organized short time in the spinning sections at Manchester had been ended, af fectng nearly 10000, 900 spindles, which use American cotton. This was in such direct contrast to the gloomy reports previously received from that quarter that it inspired quite active covering on which prices advanced to the highest levels of the day.
 One of the two private crop reports received today was the first to indi- cate a decline in condition in excess of the normal for the period. The other, which made a condition of 6S, was from New Orleans house which in the past two months has been practically identical in it's reports with those of the government. Judg- ing the forthcoming bureau report by the private crop figures already issued, a condition around 67.5 would be suggested. with total crop in dication of about S.S00.000 bales. with S,4S3,000 bales last month.
 The fact that new cotton reported to be moving freely in south Texas had little depressing effect on the market because of the belief that adequate government and other financing will be provided to prevent any early flood of cotton.

Accommodating Stocks and Small Shipments
 Cause Wheat Slump
Ny Associated Press

Chicago, July 29.-Accumulating as depressing factors in the wheat market today. Prices closed unset tied 1 to cents net lower. Corn lost 4 to 1s cent and oats 9s to % cent. Provisions closed unchanged to S5 cents lower
 With receipts here totalling nearly 700 cars and with even heavier arri- vals at Kansas City, the market soon gave evidence Of feeling an appar- ent, almost complete stoppage of ex- port demand. In this connection, bears pointed out that in three weeks Chicago had received 5000, 900 bush els, whereas shipments from here had been only 3,o00,000 bushels. The situation was further illustrated by announcement that today's export business amounted to but three car goes of which two were for Brazil, leaving just single cargo bought for Europe Bullish reports as to the probable size of the domestic spring crop and as to drought in Germany. rallied the market during the middle of the session. In the last hour, however, selling led by a big elevator concern carried the market downward again and the fin ish was about at the lowest level of the day.
 Beneficial rains put the corn mar ket under constant pressure, although values hardened temporarily when wheat showed transient upturn. Oats merely reflected the action of other grain.
 Provisions had a general down. ward slant owing more or less to as- sertions that the forthcoming monthly warehouse statement would be a bearish one.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York, July 29.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say: Heat and holiday influences have ruled and distribu- tive trade and manufacturing are quieter than for some time past. with unemployment complained of more at several cities. Reflection of these con ditions is said in reports of less ac- tive buying from wholesale in second- ary markets and of holding off by country merchants pending a clearer view of admittedly rather mixed crop conditions. These conditions hold true, too, despite the fact that most activity due to be manifested in the apparel and kindred trades, and in face of the increasing talk of re- tailers' stocks of seasonable goods be- ing almost uniformly light. The sit- uation, however. finds quite a few redeeming features visable most of these having to do with the further
 future. Most immediately helpful of all of these is the continued strength of buying of our grain, par
 ticularly wheat. by Europe, which still reports drought affecting crops. Weekly bank clearings S5,62S,1SO, 900.
