Defeat of Black Rust in Annual
 Race Was Factor
By Assoeisssd Prsss

Chicago, July S.--Likelihood that black rust would meet defeat in the great annual race with the spring wheat crop has led to lower prices here for wheat this week. Compared with a week ago. wheat this morning was down kc to 3%c q bushel; corn Mc off to Mc up; oats varying from Mci decline to hc gain. and pro- visions at . setback of soc a 22c to soc
 With below normal temperatures northwest tending to check the onset of the black rust plague. apprehen- sion regarding possible serious crop damage was much relieved among wheat traders and although price rallied at times the gcnral tendency was toward lower level of values Big world shipments were likewise influential in promoting beafish sen- timent. and so too was the fact that the railroad strike had been confined to shopmen.
 Breaks in foreign exchange did a good deal apparently to restrict ex- pert demand for wheat. New Orleans, nevertheless. was outbidding Chicaso for new wheat in Illinois, and besides was said to be getting most of the wheat offered in the west and south. west. Estimates that the European wheat crop would be 120OOO. .00a bushels less than last year seemed 70 make no lasting impression and the same was true of reports that wet weather had ben causing delay to threshing in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska

By Associated Press

New York. July s.-Seilfng for both accounts during today's stock market session was inspired by over night advices which directed renewed attention to the more critical con ditions in Europe.

 Domestic oils were heavy and at tempts to revive that group were unavailing. final quotations showing substantial losses.
 Independent steeis were buyers for a time on intimation that all mer- ger difficulties had been overcome. but these issues reacted later on comparatively small offerings. Cop pers, equipments, shippings and pop ular miscellaneous issues were In cluded in the general recessions al the heavy to weak close. Sales amounted to 3s5,0oo shares.
 Again, excepting the rate on Lon, don, all allied foreign exchanges were lower, while the German mark fell to a new levelof depreciation al a fraction under .o1S but rallying 10 . point slightly above .o1s.
 Confirmation of recent reports that she British government is preparing to pay interest on her war oblisa- tions to this country was found In the arrival of gold bars amounting to about s2,5o0,ooo to be applied te that account.

NEW ORLFANs COTTON

New Orleans. July S.-After ruling steady in the early trading today and making advances off7 to IS points on the more active positions, tho cotton market turned soft. and in the late trading broke yesterday. October fisst rose to 22:42c and then slumped to 2fss5c. Much of the sell ing due to uneonfirmed rumors of another political assassination in Ger many. received over private wires, but a part of 1t was due to the report that ex porters were reselling cotton originally in- tended for shipment to France. they being unwilling to ship because of tho situation in connection with reparation payments by Germany. The close was somewhat steadier at net declines for the day of IS to 3s points. October closed at 21.97c.
 In the early trading the most noticeable feature was the scarcity of contracts. very moderate demand served to put prices up, but after the first demand was satisfied the market commenced to sag under favorable weather over the belt. After failing to a level about five points under yesterdays final prices, the market held steady for awhile, but late in the session 1t responded quickly to an In
 The comporativsiy steady tone on the close appeared to be- due to the fear that tho storm area on the weather map to the north west of the belt might bring rains to the cotton region over Sunday, although the official forecast was not con- sidered uhfavorabie.

Gilt Edge Railway Shares Frightened
 Market Past Week
Bv Associated pr.ss

New York, July s-The stock mar ket this wek threw off its uncertain and professional tone of the preced- ing fortnight under the influence of sudden and very appreciable ad- vance for gilt edged hallway shares. Gaines in many of those issues. notably l.. & N. and A. c. L.. which owed their strength 70 special oon- alterations, ranged from to 10 points. Investment transcontinentAfs high grade grangers, coalers and sew eral of the low priced trunk lines were embraced in the movement.
 Buying seemed to be of the most confident character and to observers thing more definite than favorable earning and prospects of an early settlement of the miners and rail- way shopmen's strikes.
 Steel, equipments, coppers and numerous other industrials more or less dependent for their, -sustenance upon the strength of rails, also were materially higher. Domestic oils registered variable gains. In marked contrast to the sharp reaction in Mexican 'Petroleums.
 The turn into July was accom- plished without disturbance to the money market. Rates relaxed Oh the return flow of interest and dividend payments and liberal purchases of commercial paper suggested a more hopeful buiness outlook.
 Sound investment conditions were denoted in the high records set by all of the Liberty bonds and easy ab sorption of new corporation offer iDgs.
 Extreme weakne of European ex- changes. especially those of the con- tinentai allied nations and Germany, occasioned much discussion and some misgivings in high financial circles.

BAD GERMAN NEWS
 LED TOA VIOLENT
 COTTONMOVEMENT
General List Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Nineteen to TWenty-four Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York. July S.-The unfavor- able financial and political news from Germany led to rather violent fluctuations in the cotton marke. here today An opening advance on increasingly numerous reports of boil weevil damage was followed by a very sharp break with october con- tracts selling off from 22,S2c to 222Sc, or the lowest price touched since they sold at 2326c on the bu- reau report of last Monday. Trade interests were big buyers at this de- cline, however. and October closed at 22.4Sc, or IT points up from the low est with the general market closing steady ct net declines of 19 to 24 points.
 The market opened steady at ad- vances of to 12 points and show ed net gains of 1e to 15 points shortly after the call on overnight buying orders and continued local support, prompted by apprehensions that un- settled weather in the south would further stimulate boil weevil activity. The advance to 22.S2c for October and 22.57o for December or about AT to 50 points from the low level of Thursday was checked by realizing for over the week-end, however. and the selling became Inore general and aggressive later. owing to reports that Germany had requested a mora torium, and rumors of German poiit- tcal disturbances. For time prices br oke very rapidly. but around 22.10e for December, offerings were ab- sorbed by trade buying which seemed to include a considerable demand for Japanese account. This rallied prices. with the close showing re- coveries of some 1S or 20 points from the lowest. A very great many TO- ports have been reaching here from the south during the past two o- three days regarding the activities of the boil weevil, and the news of this sort was considered largely respon- sible for the opening advance, al though feeling. Is expressed in some quarters that damage reports are ex- aggerated. The amount of cotton on shipboard at the end of the week awaiting clearance was estimated at 74,0o0 against 151 ,000 last year.
