The strike Slt- nation is more favorable but walt not immediately affect that nar ilg .rcn is In urgent demand and prtces strong as many furnaces have ocen forced to close down on account Of a scarcity of fuel.
 Copper is steaoy. It Is reported that most of the larger domestic con sumers have covered the bulk of their requirements for August and well into September. Export demand has also fallen off, and it is reported that in spite of labor scarcity, the output of smelters is gradually in- crea sing Stocks are stili rather small, however, with deliveries to home consumption believed to still be exceeding current production.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON nv Asancfotesl Prexa

New Orleans. August 19.-Heavy cover ing of the short interest and persistent buying for new long account put the price of cotton about s5 a balo higher today. The market was higher from the opening and reached its highest levels in the last few minutes of the session when the list stood 90 to 105 points over the close of yesterday. Last prices were at net gains of 89 to 105 points. October traded high as 22.s0c and closed at 22.15c.
 Early advances which carried October up to 21.97c were due mainly to cover ing of those traders who sold short yes terday on reports of scattered rains in Texas. The weather map was as dry as ever in the west with little prospect of rain of consequence over Sunday. At this stage of the session some little buying for long account was done with the view that the news from the rail strike conference indicated increased probabilities of set clement In the early days of next week, but longs did not take possession of tho market until late In the day.
 Messages from New York estimating sales in the wholesale cloth market there of 200. 900 pieces of print cloths and sheet ings in the AS hours increased bullish sem timent strongly but heaviest buying fol- lowed the rumor that one of the largest spot concerns of the country was out with A crop condition report of bs.1 per cent of normal, and indicated crop figures of but 9,6o0,oo0 bales. There were no inn portant reactions from the rise at any stage of the session.

BREAK IN MARKET
 WAS NEW GRAIN FACTOR
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 19.-A break in the market at Liverpool and some general selling sent all deliveries Of wheat here to new low for the season shortly after the start today. Keew-end profit-taking by shorts caused little recovery toward the last. the close being %c to 1hc lowe, with September 99Ac to 99asc and December $1B to $1.01. Corn declined Me to 1sc; oats were unchanged to Nc lower, and provisions were un- changed to 5c off
 General selling on the continued liquidation in Loverpool, the persis- tent weakness in marks and the rais- ing of the estimates on the crop Of the three Canadian provinces found support lacking and the decline was easily attained.
 Heavy rains fell over parts of Iowa and In other sections of the corn belt, but these were said to have been scattered and corn showed a rather firm undertone, ref1ecting the break in wheat only to a moderate extent.
 Oats were easier with corn but held within narrow limits.
 Provisions averaged slightly lower on scattered selling.

 PRICE RECORDS
Rr Asaocinted prnsa

/ New York, August Yesterdays sharp reactions were followed by an advance into new high ground for the movement, with cotton for De- cember delivery selling at 2z.45c to. day This made an advance of S2 points from the closing price of yes- terday and the general market closed strong at a general net advance of $50 to 377 points.
 People who had sold yesterday on private reports of rain in Texas werA buyers today on indications that there had been nothing more thari a few light showers in the southwest. The market opened firm at decline of points for October, but generally unchanged to IS points higher, and showed increasing firmness right after the call on increasing fear of failing crop prospects combined with a belief that the labor situation iA clearing gradually and that the ad- vance in raw material Is promoting a more active demand for cotton goods There was considerable releasing for over the weekend, which caused some irregularity during the middle of the morning, but such sales were absorbed on very moderate reactions, and the late forenoon market was strong on a continuation of general buying. october sold up to 22.47c and January to 22.05c. with active months generally showing net advances of so to sS points and closing within a few points of the best. Reports from the goods markets indicated an increased business. Sales of print cloths in Fall River for the week were estimated at 120,000 pieces, or about double the business of the pre- vious week, and reports received hers from the west indicated expectations of a good business once labor dis putes were fully settled. The main factor on the advance, however, ac- cording to local brokers, was the continued complaint of crop deterior- alton and tendency to further scale down ideas as to the probable show ing of end-August crop reports. There were rumors of very low pri- vate conditions figures, which prob ably contributed to the late advance, although they lacked confirmation.

Acute Depression Sends Wheat Under
 The Dollar Mark
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 19.-Acute depres- sion of wheat prices this week ex- tending at times to under s1 n bushel, has closely followed breakdown of the interallied conference at Lon don. Compared with week ago. wheat this morning was 2%c to 4lsc lower: corn up ssc to l SC; oats off hc to 1lkc, and provisions varying from 27 1ac decline to an advance of 21kc.
 Failure of the allied premiers to reach any agreement in regard to German financial affairs caught tho wheat market when the domestic 1n- dustrial outlook appeared decidedly uncertain. the rail strike settlement in particular and buying power seemed to be restricted almost en- tirely to traders who had been on the selling side of the market and were in position to profit. Subse- quently with coal mines reopenins and with railroad troubles less threatening the wheat market rallied Somewhat, buyers apparently becom- ing more confident
 Drouth and heat damaging corn led afterward to sharp upturn in tho price of wheat as we'll as of other cereals, but wheat fell in value again when timely moisture and cooler temperature relieved anxiety as to corn. At this juncturc, too, pros pective increased receipts of wheat as result of expected settlement of the rail strike became noticeable bearish factor, heightened in effect through practical assurance that the spring wheat crop was made and would scon be moving in volume.
 Weather conditions ruled the corn market. Despite rains and cooler weather. sentiment remained buIlisn the extent of actual iamare bv drouth being a question. Enlarred arrivals eased the oats market a lit tle.
 Provisions were governed mostly hv changes in the value of hogs.
