 Corn and oats as well as wheat dropped to lowest prices so far on the 1922 crop. Current estimates of the yield of feed were construed as bearish, but were afterwards partly offset by announcement of nearly 5000, ,000 bushels decline in the vic. ible supply of corn.

COTTON RALLIES
 NOT MAINTAINED;.
 PRICES TAKE DIP
By Associated Press

New York. August 7.-Early de- clines were followed by moderate rallies in cotton today but they were not fully maintained and after sell ing up from 2O.62c to about 2o.e5c, December closed at 2OSSc. The gen. eral market closed easy at decline of 24 to Ss points.
 The market opened barely steady at decline of 3 to IA points and was weak during the early trading, owing to reports of better weather in the southwest, continued nervousness over European affairs as reflected by unsettled exchange rates and the un- settled domestic labor situation. There was much southern selling, accompanied by reports of increased hedging against both old crop cotton and early new crop receipts, while there appeared little demand except for covering on a scale down. The break carried October contracts off to 20.60c and January to 2053c or the lowest prices touched since the advance of early last month and about 230 points below high prices of last Tuesday. Offerings then be- came little less active while de-
 
 than expected rains in the south west and the early afternoon mar ket rallied on covering. October ad- vanced to 20.92c with active months generally showing reeoveries of about 30 points from the lowest. There was no general demand, how ever. and prices eased off again to- ward the close under renewed liuui- dation. Private reports concerning weather and crop conditions in the southwest were conflicting and while official details showed only a few scattered showers. lower tempera- lures reported were considered a favorable feature. There was more talk of hedge selling on the de- clines of today than for a long time past and local brokers attributed the decline largely to expectations that such selling would become more ac- tive with the increase in the new crop movement The Liverpool mar ket will be open for business tomor- row. Pert receipts today, 3,571; United States port stocks, 6,677l ex- ports, 9,o66. making 31.113 sa far this season.

New York, August 7.-Important changes in the trading on the Curb Exchange today were to materially lower prices. A special feature of the contract was the return movement in Continental rubber, which after its sharp furry on Saturday to 5% declined at the opening, selling at 41i before midday. Motor stocks were generally in supply. willys corpora tion preferred dropping in the first half of the day from 29% to 2S and Peerless from 551k to 52. Durant Motors held firm.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON By Associafad Press

New Orleans. August 7.--It was almost entirely market in cotton today with fluctuations due mainly to varying opinion regarding moisture conditions in Texas Private reports of considerable rain in western counties caused a drop of 37 to 52 points in the first part of the day. but when the official returns failed to con firm this rainfall the market recovered about half of it's losses, finally closing at net losses on the session of 2s to 32 points, with October at 20.33c.
 The lower opening in some meas ure due to an unfavorable opinion of for etgn news, but most of the selling was n- spired by telegrams stating that rain had fallen eight counties in western Texas October became the weakest month and appeared to be feeling some little hedge selling. It lost 52 points at it's lowest and traded down to 20.l0c a hun dred. Weakness in this position tended to increase the effect of private claims of a weaker spot basis in western markets and the extreme quiet in the New Orleans spot market, where total. sales amounted to only IF bales.
 The best demand of the day came at just about the noon hour, when many private telegrams were coming in from the west saying that no pronounced change had occurred in weather cssaf- tions. These reports might have had more effect but for rather optimistic crop counts from sections east of the Mssissip- pi river, and the appearance of the first bale of new crop cotton on the Mobile market.

New York August With com paratively few exceptions, the up- ward movement in prices was con ! finued in todays stock market. { While the market lacked indica- tons ot any extensive public buying, good investment demand was noted for some high grade rails and in- dustrials, several of which reacted at new top prices for the year.
