HEDGERS IN GRAIN HEAVY SELLERS
 IN CHICAGO PIT
nx Assoeiated Prcsa

Chicago, July 22.-Heayy selling by hedgers put enough wheat in the market today to overcome weekend covering by shorts, and wheat values declined readily on the board of trade. the close being near the bottom. fig ures of the day. with December at new level for the season. At the fin ish wheat showed a loss of 1A0 11kc, September 1.09A @1.O9ss and December s1Io1z @1.10M. Corn was down %@1Bc, oats F @ 1c lower and provisions 1O@ 30c higher.
 Trading In wheat was light and featureless, and the market became heavy, but did not make much prog ross in the way of depressing prices as the trade became oversold.
 Favorable weather predictions were a bearish factor.
 Corn futures were dull, what small trade there was being attributed to the absence of demand for cash.
 Provisions were firm, despite the easier hog harket.

Cotton Goods Trade Holding Steady and
 TurnoUers Light
By AssoeIated Press

New York, July 22.-Cotton goods markets are holding steady with trade rather quiet in the primary di- vision. On finished goods the tend ency is toward higher prices to bring values nearer parity with gray goods and raw cotton. Man ufacturers are beginning to talk or curtailing production during the lat- ter part of August because # the lack of profit margin between clothes and cotton and apprehension as to what cotton prices may be when the crop begins to move freely.
 Jobbers continue to buy conserva- lively and only for few weeks ahead, and the manufacturing trades are still indlsposed to make long contracts with cotton on a high bas- is Many buyers have been in the markets recently and most of them state that they have liquidated their stocks and have not been ssae c9 secure prices for goods in keeping with the rising value in first hands.
 Co1ored cotton goods are now sur fening little. There Is an upWaro tendency in sheets and pillow cases and some other domestics. New ines of wash fabrics ae being shown for spring 1923 and buyers are operat- ing only on the novelties or very fine yarn dyed goods. Jobbers re- port that any advance orders gwen by retailers are being filled steadily the latter showing willingness to take in all that is due. but mani festing much caution about anything save filling in purchases. Two ad- ditional strikes were reported al mills in New England while steaay slow progress is being made in oth- CT mills in restoring production. Cur rent prices in primary markets are as follows:

Labor Troubles Haue Left Impress on
 Trade and Industry
Ry Asroclnted Press

New York, July 22.-Regardless of Wall streets traditional indiffer- ence to labor troubles, the week in the financial market offered cumu- lative evidence that the prolonga- fion of the coal and railroad strikes had finally left it's impress on trade and industry.
 Figures issued by the department of commerce at Washington and authoritative mercantile agencies. plainly indicated that the improve ment noted in June had not been maintained and that the immedia ts future is rendered more obscure.
 These conditions were in part att tributed to seasonal slackening, but they were accelerated by high pro- duction costs, prospective reductions of railroad earnings and an enormous shrinkage of buying power through labors loss of wages.
 The stock marhet lapsed Into It's customary midsummer dullness, but values in the transportation aud coal groups were not materially af- fected. Reactions were more pro. nounced in the oil and motor pre- dlctions.
 Predictions that the oil industry Is approaching a stage of over produce ton and that further cuts In raw and refined products are inevitable gained wider currency. Reversals In the automobile list were accom- panied by well-defined reports of Impending organization of capital readjustment.
 Steels. equipments. copper and kindred industrials denoted good support at moderate concessions. Forecasts of the quarterly state ment of the United States Steel corporation. which will be issued Tuesday. were of an optimistic character.
 Anomalous conditions ruled in tho money market, call loans evincing a firmer tone. while virtually all time offerings, bank acceptances and merchants paper eased and were in better demand
 International exchanges showed temporary unsettlement. but later a dispatch which suggested an under standing between England and France. regarding Germanys obli- gAticns to the allies. effected sub stantial recoveries.

HEAVY PURCHASE
 OF CONTRACTS A
 MARKET FEATURE
By Associated Press

New York. July 22.-The feature of trading in the cotton market today was the heavy purchase of contracts by brokers, who were selling March and May at the same time. This was supposed to represent the transfer of hedges on a large scale. The market otherwise was quiet and mostly the usual week end affair with a further downward trend. due to a belief that the southwestern dry spell might be relieved Over Sunday at least to the extent of lower temperatures.
 Among the early sellers were Wall sreet and the south. while their of ferings were absorbed by local trad CTS, who covered cotton put out the previous day. Largely because of practically unchanged strike news the trade and outside speculative inter- ests showed little attention to the market, and it was almost entirely a professional affair throughout the day
 Opening steady and unchanged to -16 points lower, 1t worked off little and then became stronger on room covering, which advanced prices in some cases shade above the pre- vious close The upturn was not well supported, however. and In the last half hour the market again yielded to selling pressure from local sources and dropped In some eases to lowest of the day, october reaching 2i.75c and December 21.T3e.
 The close was barely steady, 3 to Is points lower. Neither the very bull ish week -end statistics nor the lib- eral sales of print cloths at Fall River served to check bearish senti- ment. which apeared to still be az rressive at the close of the week.

Steel Production Is Hampered by Labor
 Unrest Past Week
Rx As.o~ioted pres.

New York, July 22.-Industrial con- ditions arising from the coal and rail strike have seriously disturbed the steel market. production is being hindered and costs increased by the fuel shortage and buyers are show ing a disposition to limit new ops-- ations and await developments. Con- sequently new business Is smaller, but untitled orders are quite large.
 Pig iron is nervous and unsettled. Furnaces are being blown out owing to scarcity and high prices for coke and buyers are cautious about plac- inc moro than moderate orders un- der present conditions.
 Copper is firmly held at 14 cents for all deliveries by the large pro- ducers. with exporters bidding 13.a0 f. a. s.. New York.
 Inquiry from Moth domestic and foreign sources is checked by the rail and coal strike. Although labor shortage Is now reducing production some of the large producers arc ready to contract for October copper at present prices. June shipments of about 170.00O pounds were the heaviest of any peace month and rep resented a desire to forestail rail strike delays.
 Tin was somewhat firmer with kOHuon put HAs pceH dilecteu by tho rail and coal uncertainty and the reluctance of consumers to anticipate their needs.
 Load remained very steady with quotations unchanged.
 Zinc was firm for a time but later kesitated and producers are now un- willing to quote beyond August

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Rx Assdeiated PYess

New Orleans July 22.-Prohounced ir- regularity was shown by cotton today. due to the weakness of the. July position un. der heavy liquidation of the long interest still outstanding in it. In the early trad Ing July lost so points, falling to zl.16c, while January lost only 12 points at 21.1Se. Weakness in July appeared to be due to a lowering of the spot basis. especially in the western belt. Other months were de- pressed mainly by the unfavorabie weath . CT news and by the dry weather in the eastern belt. in sections where too much rain has been falling.
 Alter the middle of the session, the market was much steadier and July re covered strongly. coming back to 2l.!sc. which was the closing price on that month. Other positions were supported by weekend evening up of the short inter ests and the list closed at net losses on the day of but 10 to 22 points. October closed at 2i.36c.
 Befare the opening there was much talk concerning high temperatures in the west ern belt. Fort Worth. Tex, reporting a temperature of 100 degrees at s o'clock last night. Fear that the hot weather might continue and would be damaging to fhr plnnt probably had something 10 ao with the comparative steadiness of the new crop months on the face of the early extreme weakness shown by July.

EXTREME GAINS IN STEELS WERE
 FORFEITED LATER
Rr AerocInted Presn

New York, July 22.-Tacit approval by the federal government of the in- dependent steel mergers provided the only feature of today's dull and other wise featureless session.
 Extreme gains of 1 to almost 8 points were scored by Bethlehem, Lackawanna. Republic and Midvale steels, but this advantage was large 1y forfeited on realizing sales.
 Motors manifested much of their re- cent reactlonary trend.
 Rails were listless, but final quota tions were mainly towards lower lev els. Equipments, coppers and re- lated shares moved within the mar rowest limits. Mexican PetroleuS1 again featured the oils, it's early strength. however, soon being dissi- pated. Sales amounted to 275,000 shares.
 weekly trade reviews bore out re- cent statements of a halt in general business, due chiefly to the coal and railroad strikes. Distribution of mer- chandise fell below the correspond- ing period of last year, but collections were better.
 A contraction of ss4,o0o,Ooo in act uaI loans and discounts was the note- worthy item in the weekly clearing house statement. This was accom- ranied by a decrease of $95,O00,Ooo in net demand deposits and cash gain of $31, 1,564.0oo. Increasing excess re- serves to almost $44,000,000.

F. J. LINNELL & CO.'S LETTER

New Orleans, July 22.--Labor troubles and increasing crop ideas had depressing effect on cotton values during past week. Weekly trade reviews report further strictions in business and in the industrial centers as result of shortage of fuel, and rail strikes promising further curtailment in trade unless the strikes are settled soon.
 Indications are that the worlds carry over of American cotton this season will be about 5,000.0o0 bales, compared with 9194,0 900 last season. but these deductions remain subject to change owing to pos sible year end corrections.
 As yet the greater portion of Texas is in need of moisture. but no damage of consequence is reported so far. except in localities and these copditions are not likely ito figure much in the August 1 crop condition report. returns for which will be sent to Washington on July 25.
 Private returns indicate general i'm provement in the condition of the cotton for western belt during past month, but returns for eastern belt conflict; some complain. of too much rain and damage by weevii.
 At the moment. the greater portion of Texas is in urgent need of rain. while greater portion of the eastern belt Is in want of dry weather.--H. & B. Beer.
