NEW YORK COTTON
By ABbOc1nteu FrebH :, New York, July 27.-The market closed
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press


 New Orleans, July 21.-A steady tone prevailed in the cotton market today with prices at small advances nearly the whole session. The tone on the close was very steady with prices 12 to 1e points higher than the finals of yesterday. Claims of ex- tensive weevil damage and Ntoo ire auent mention of weevil activity in the weekly crop reports from the gov ernmert were the main influence back of the buying. |.
 Scattered selling and some little liquidation of long cotton made for a temporarily lower market in the early trading but after declines of to g points. which carried October off to 11.45c, new demand came in and during the greater part of the remainder of the day the market had steady support in a moderate way. Highest prices came in the late trad ing when October rose to 11.68c and the most active months were Is to IT points over yesterdays close. Octo- Der closed at 11.64c.
 Some of the early offerings were due to favorable weather over the belt and for a while following the weekly reports on the crop there was an increase in the supply of contracts as, outside of weevil damage, the returns were rather more favorable than expected. In the long run. how ever. weevfl talk outweighed all oth- CT features and resulted in a greater demand than the ring could supply except at higher range of values.

WOMEN WORKERS SEE GREAT RESULT
 FROM TEACHINGS
By BRIGGS,

Tuscaloosa. July 27.-(Special,) ,)- Mrs. J. E. S. Brown, county demon stration agent, is reaping a great re- ward for having put into practice her own idea of a three days training school for women and girls who had done the very best canning, sewing or general club work.
 Mrs. Brown had to report at Au- burn this week, but it makes no diff ference with these energetic workers. They have been taught what is to be done, and in each community they are holding meetings of the indus trious housewives and teaching them the best ways to can fruits yege- tables, etc., which are ripe for the work now.
 Mrs. Elgen and Misses Wilson ahd Elliott of Searles held meeting at which 20 young women were pres -ent and many new ways and means were demonstrated to them.
 Miss Susia Turner, who has done splendid work in helping Mrs. Brown at Windham Springs, spent three days out there recently and taught 40 people to build a fireless cook CT, canning, pickling, bread baking and canning meats Mrs. Clements has the fireless cooker which was built on the ground by Miss Turner and now uses it every day. Since the lady has eight children and ser wants can't be gotten in the neigh borhood this is of great assistance.
 Among others who have held these demonstration meetings are MISS Mamie Matthews, who went to Pet erson; Estelle and Ora Patton, who will go to Brookwood: Mary Lou Marringer and Alma Kirby of Coker will go to Gorgas, and Miss Lola Cork of Jena will hold meeting.
 Undoubtedly Mrs. Browns venture in team work and cooperation IS dor ing more for the girls clubs in the county than she ever dreamed 1t would do.

 United States Steel was well sup ported throughout, traders evidently placing a favorable interpretation on the showing made in the second quarterly report Affiliated stocks held steady with oils of the better type but the entire list shaded to- wards the end when equipments were under severe pressure.

Chicago, July 27.-Indicat tions that the harvest movement from the soft wheat states was about over had a bullish effect on the wheat merket today. Prices closed nervous, cents to 3% cents net higher, with Sep tember s1.27 to $1.27A. and December s1.2S% to $1.29. Corn gained A to cent, and oats finished h off to M cent up. In provisions, the outcome was unchanged to 15 @ F cents higher.
 Evidence that country selling Of wheat was abruptly falling off caused the opinion to gain ground that the maximum of receipts had been pass ed so far as the winter crop was con cerned and that a majority of farm CTS were binning the rest of their winter wheat to hold for higher prices.

 sumption promised to be good deal larger than during last year. Another strengthening influence was the gov ernment weekly crop report, which commented on unsatisfactory yields in the eastern portion of the spring wheat belt and in many sections of the winter wheat region as well. About the only bearish news at hand was a favorable summary of the European crop outlook as to wheat.
 Need of rain in Iowa, Indiana ana other important states gave an up- ward slant to the corn market. Oats were relatively weak owing to heavy sales attributed to an eastern ex- porter
 Firmness in the provision market was due in the main to the fact that hogs had risen to the highest quota tions yet this season.
