Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New York, August 5.-The govern ment's crop report showing a lower condition than indicated by any of the private figures and reducing the crop indications from S,433,000 bales on June 25 to S,20S, 900 as of July 25, was the dominating influence in the cotton market during the past week. The immediate effect of these sur prisingly bullish figures was an ad- vance of nearly a cent pound. This was checked by increased offerings around the 13c level for October, but the selling on that basis seemed to be absorbed on comparatively moder- ate reactions and the best prices of the movement were reached today, when October contracts showed a re- covery of about 230 points from the low records of last June. There was renewed realizing as the price ap- preached the 14c level for December today, but otherwise very little sell ing pressure was reported while local brokers said there were evidences of a broadening trade demand and com mission house interest. Very bullish private crop reports have been com ing in from the south since the gov ernment's report was published on Monday, particularly from the south west
 According to the Texas traveller of a prominent local spot house the crop in southern Texas is almost failure, and the state will not make 2,000,000 unless conditions soon change for the better. Scattering reports of a sim liar nature have been received from Texas points while there have also been serious complaints of boil weevl activity in eastern belt sections, par ticularly Georgia. The weather re- port of the weather bureau on Wednesday was less unfavorable than anticipated, but the alarming nature of private advices which con- tinued to reach the trade up to the close of the week evidently led to apprehensions of further reduc- tion in crop prospects by the end of the month. Liverpool has advanced on the bullish crop reports, but trad ing there has been comparatively quiet, with only a moderate volume of spot business. A report received from Georgia today said that south ern mills were buying some cotton for December and January delivery against sales of goods. Trade buying has also been reported in futures, and the advance toward the end of the week was encouraged by the in- creased activity of the goods markets as indicated by estimated sales of well over 100000 pieces in Fall River for the week.

RENEWED SELLING AND PROFIT-TAK|NG
 CAUSES A DECLINE
Call Money Continues on Its Higher Basis, Renewing and Ruling at Six
 Per Cent
By AssocIated Press

Flaw YOrk, August 5.-f uttheA prot. taking, coupled with renewed sel!.ng for the short account and weakness of various specialties caused a general scaling down of prices to- day on the.stock exchange.
 There was no semblance of the strength which characterized deal ings early In the week. Although the volume of offerings was not large and movements in most eases were limited to moderate proportions, the recession continued without interrup- ton to the close.
 Profit-taking was active among the railroad stocks which were most prominent on the recent rise. Oils' steeIs, equipments and copper were all under pressure, and there was sell ing of motors and tires. Among the specialtses, United Drug was again under attack. and sold down to a new low point for the year at 52%.
 Ths sugar group made little re- spcnse to continued firmness in the fnarkuL for refined sugar, although these shares were comparatively steady Passing of the quarterly divi- dsrd 2h per cent by Manat Sugar ba teen forecast. The stock recently has been under steady pressure which forced it down to 32 per cent of ssh per cent.
 Call Money Higher
 Call money continued on it's high CT basis, renewing and ruling at 6 per cent. Higher money rates are attributed to withdrawals from New York banking institutions by inte- rior points rather than the stringency in funds A considerable movement of this nature followed the drop In the rate for call funds last week to sA and { per cent.
 Early stability in the bond market was replaced by a general saggins tendency in which losses running to a point were registered in issues which have been strong recently. Pennsylvania General 4lss and St. Louis and San Francisco mortgages were especially weak. Total sales par value, s9,975,0Go.
 Liberty 3Ia's rose "A points to sssss, but reacted later, closing at a loss as did other government is- sues. In the foreign division Paris sn advanced to par.
