NEW YORK COTTON By Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON Ry Assocjated PresS

New OrIeans, August 25.-Ad- vances in the price of cotton today carried the quotations above the 15 cent level on several mouths, De- cember rising to 15 06c and put Oc- tober at it's best more than $500 a bale higher than the close of yester- day. That month rose 10G points to l4.S6c. Heavy outside buying was responsible for much of the advance. although shorts covered in a large way and trade interests bought on d large scale. There was much realiZ- ing at the advance but during good part of the session it was absorbed readily enough. At the highest of the day prices were 15 to f06 points over the final quotations of yesterday. The close was n sv SS points net higher on the day. with October at 14.sSc and December at l4.a1c.
 Back of the buying were the usual reports of crop deterioration and the drouth in Texas and, in addition, the storm area shown over the east Gulf of Mexico on the weather map. Shorts became decidedly nervous over thls low pressure area, fearing that i. would move upward into the Atlan- tics, bring too much rain with it. Re- ports of better spot demand helped the market to no little extent and spots here were marked up 100 points to 14.13c a pound for mid tdling.
 The farmers holding movement was 8 factor in the trading of the day. many localities. especially in Texas reporting a lack of spot offerings on account of it.

HuRRARD,s LETTER

New York, August 25.-(SpeciaD Our market opened strong this morning on better Liverpool ca bles buying by commission houses and short covering. The reac- ton that was predicted for today after the advance of last few days did not materialize. even though the recent buyers sold considerable cotton on the early advance. It was soon evident that these buyers real izing the market would go higher, bought again at higher prices
 Our senior partner. who is in Liver pool, cabled us from that point that Manchester Is becoming very active and finds it hard to meet the demand from the far eastern trade. We feel that a temporary reaction Is due, nevertheless see no reason for the market to weaken owing to the fact that the basis remains strong throughout the south. As long as this continues. we can expect higher prices eventually. Crop reports are still disastrous and the trade is real izing the fact that towards the end of the year, we may be confronted with a lack of cotton rather than surplus as was first supposed. After mild reaction, we expect continued inn rovement.-Hubbard Bros, & Go.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW
Cleveland, O., August a5-(special.)

Cleveland, O., August 25-(Special) ) The Iron Trade Review today says
 New inquiries, coupled with mod est volume of buying, are tending to sustain feeling of optimism which has prevailed in iron and steel mar kets since late in July. Interest in pig iron is even mdFe pronounced than last week. while trading in fin- ished steel products continues almost unchanged.
 Mill operations in Mahoning valley have been decreased slightly, but this relapse Is more than offset by im- proved conditions in other steel cen ters, although prices of certain grades of pig iron appear to be firm CT. Quotations have remained at a standstill during the week.
 Composite market average of the Iron Trade Review, based on selling prices of l4 iron and steel products. remains unchanged from last week at s36 .03. This compares with s35S2 on August 10, $38.14 for all of July and s41.s7 for June.
 Sales of pig iron in Chicago and Philadelphia indicate the recent buy ing movement was more extensive ti.an disclosed. Sales of 10000 tons basic, 5000 tons foundry and several lots of 2,o00 tons each of malleable, were made in a western city last week. Inquiries for large tonnages aggregate more than 10000 tons in New York. and sales in eastern Penn sylvania totalled about 15.000 tons for the week.
 More activity is noted in the coke market, due to inquiries from furnace operators The American Rollins Mill company has closed on 30,000 at the rate of 10000 tons monthly. The price is understood to be $2. .75 at oven.
 Railroads are continuing to place orders for repairs of cars. Contracts have been awarded for work on l,500 cars by the Big Four. 200 by Chicago ard Great Western and 100 by the Erie railroad. Pere Marquette, Rock Island and Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg are asking bids for re- pairs to the total of about 1000 cars.
 HanEars to be built by the govern nnent at Scott field. Belleville, Ills, will require 5000 tons of structural steel. Specifications shortly will be issued for the Commonwealth hotel New York, involving 1000 tons. Hugo Stinnes has sold small tonnage of cotton ties in the United States, and German manufacturers have closed an order with Cuba for several hun dred tons of rails rolled to American specjfications. It is reported by cable that an Indiana firm representing Dorman, Long & Co.,, Mddleborough England, is the low bidder for 100 miles water pipe for, Bombay.

EXCITEMENT AS
 OCTOBER STAPLE
 ROSE 100 POINTS
The General List Closed Very Steady at a Net Advance of Sixty-Nine to Eighty
 Three Points
By Associated Press

New York, August 25,-There was a renewal of the recent buying movement in the cotton market which became more excited as prices worked higher and carried Octoter contracts up to 15.20c or 10S points above the closing figure of yesterday December sold as high as 15.40c or 23S points above the low level reached on the recent reaction. That delivery closed at 1929 compared with 14.46 yesterday, and the general market closed very steady at net advance of 69 to S3 points.
 The market opened firm at an ,ad- vance of 14 to 22 points on the high CT Liverpool cables and reports of increasing activity In Manchester. There was a good deal of realizing and southern selling. but 1t was ab- sorbed on reactions of 10 or 19 points with every indication of broaden ing commission house and trade in terests. Reports of rains in the At lantics and ontinued high tempera- lures in the southwest evidently strengthened confidence in very bu1lish government crop indication next week. while the better trade news from Lancashire seemed to bring in a good deal or re-Duylng DS recent sellers. After the first half hour there was very little southern selling. and the advance was accom- panied by reports of a firmer spot basis which probably stimulated the demand from October shorts. As prices worked above the 11-cent level, realizing became more active and after showing net advances of a to 10S points during the middle of the afternoon. prices reacted several points in the late trading.
 All deliveries made new high rec ords for the season, while January and late months made new high prices fo the life of the respective contracts, that is since trading in them started. Private cables were received here, attributing the in- creased activity of Manchester to a renewal of demand for goods from in- dia. ~ Reports from the domestic goods trade also attracted favorable com ment but local traders attributed the advance chiefly to increasing appre- hension of very short crop. For the fifth day in succession, all stations in Oklahoma reported temperatures of 100 degrees or over ranging up to y0s and the forecast was for con tinued dry weather in the southwest tomorrow.

Grains Were Strong
 at the Finish After
 q Very Dull Start
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 25. A strong finish after generally dull start distinguished today's dealings on the Chicago Board of Trade. Net gains were recorded in all options, wheat advancing 2 to 3&c; corn h to Sc;
 oats s to ssc, and provisions from 2h to 22hc, with lard the leader,
 and ribs Rigging.
 There was little activity in the early wheat market, fears that the | new Capper-Tincher law might re- strict trading in futures serving to offset the signing of the war finance bill with it's provisions for agricultural export loans. A factor was an early stagnation in export trade when sellers asked Ac more
 than the seaboard was willing to pay for shipments via Buffalo and Geor- gian Bay ports.
 Later timidity of buyers over the Capper-Tincher law was overcome | and there was considerable buying
 of small lots. Then the pit element noted the advance In cotton due to the rural credits law and sought to buy but the surplus had been taken out of the market, shorts had trouble
 in covering and rather strong rally carried prices about 2c above the low | figure of the day.
 Corn showed a strong undertone
 because of the cash situation, the in- dustrial demand in the sample mar ket being god and bids to arrive on l 30-daN< shipments advancing half cent Oats were dull, but held well in | sympathy with corn and the late | strength in wheat.
 Provisions were early inclined to

Call Money Ruled at 5 1-2 Per Cent, But Much of the Days Offerings

New York, August 25.-The stock market today consistently followed it's recent reactionary course Liquidation and short selling caused many new low records, involving leaders as well as vulnerable issues
 Easier money rates, the further strength of foreign exchange and adoption of the farm credit bill by the Senate evidently placed no part in the calculations of traders. being neutralized by the keener competi- ton in the steel industry and other unfavorable factors.
 Gross declines of 1 to points were sustained by oils, steels, eqiup- ments, coppers, rubbers, textiles, to- baccos chemicals and an array of miscellaneous issues which figured conspicuously during the war boom.
 investment rails and standard in- dustrials of the type mainly rep resented by United States Steel most often were proof against pressure although giving way moderately when the remainder of the list was under attack.
 Lower at Start
 Prices were lower at the start but strengthened before noon, only to re- act again in the last half of the ses- sion. Mexican Petroleum featured the setback, dropping from s1h to S4i2. new minimum. Making ur virtually all it's loss, Mexican closed q | net decline of fraction.
 Junior oils, also shippings. motors and tobaccos developed greater weak ness in the final dealings. Heavy selling of American International Pierce-Arrow and Sumatra Tobacco then off set rallies elsewhere.
