EXCITED ADVANCE IS STAGED IN FINAL HOUR OF TRADING
Rx Assoninted Press

New York. July 2o.-A violent break in the cotton market today apparently brought the liquidating movement to close for it was fol- lowed in the afternoon by an equal ly excited advance which left final prices 2 to IS points net higher and the undertone firm. Before the sell ing movement eliminated in the early afternon, all active positions had de- clined under the 21c level. October reaching 20,s7c and December 20.s0c, or about S250 per bale under .he previous nights close and around s12.50 per bale below the highest of the season.
 Under 21c stop loss orders were reached and there was less trade buy ing than had been expected. Part of the forenoon selling movement was dueo to the prediction for less showery weather in the east and for possible rains and cooler in Texas. together with the absence of any news to indicate improvement in the strike situation. Sentiment at this time appeared to be extremely bear ish but growing opposition to the de- cline around 20.90c for October, grad ually checked the selling movement and started a demand from shorts which became very widespread and active before the close.
 An almost perpendicular advance of over 40 points from the lowest took place in the last hour and in- duced not only heavy covering but large amount of new buying by traders who were impressed with the persistent reports of damage in Texas from hot winds and shedding. These increased toward the end of the =ses- sion, creating the belief that possibly recent reports of crop improvement had been exaggerated. Cables were better than due and there was lair amount of buying for Wall street ac- count, which, however. disappeared as the market began its severe downs ward movement.
 Throughout the middle of the day there was very little buying but it was evident from the later action of prices that the market was consider ably oversold Exports today. 2.079. making e,022,6S5 so far this season. Port receipts. 7.2sS. United States port stocks, 5o7.462.

EXPORT BUYING
 AND HEDGING ARE
 BULLISH FACTORS
By Associated Press

Chicago, July 25.--Liberal export buying together with a falling off in the volume of hedging sales had a moderate bullish effect on wheat prices today. The market closed un- settled at the same as yesterdays finish to 2c higher, with September s1.07s to s1.07h. and December sl.0s% to $1.09lk. Corn lost 1sc to 1Mc; oats were unchanged to a shade lower and provisions 1oc to zoe down.
 All the big export houses bought wheat futures steadily, and it was estimated that more than 100000 bushels were taken for nearby ship ment to Europe including 1,500,0 bushels of hard winter grades to go from ports on the Gulf of Mexico No significance was attached to tne practical failure of the Liverpool market to reflect the weakness Of values yesterday in America. Most receivers here said country offerings had been greatly reduced because of yesterdays decline. although hedg- ing became free again on the bulges today.
 Reluctance of buyers to assume risk of delay in delivery was due to the rail strike and was held to ex- plain the fact that most of toda. s advances in price for September and December were wiped out at the last, whereas July held gain of 2 cents. Corn and oats lack any aggres- sive support. The bulk of the trade consisted of spreads
 Provisions dragged lower. in- fluenced by a break in the lard values, at Liverpool.

BUYING OF RAILS

 SPITE OF STRIKE
By Associated Press

New York, July 25.-stocks were Irregular to heavy at the opening of today's active session but made general improvement later on current reports that current prospects that a partial solution of the coal aad rail strikes were brightening.
 While buying of rails was relativc- ly light. the demand embraced many of the roads most affected by labor trouble, including coalers and Issues of the southwestern division. Equip ments also were substantially better and independent stee1s denoted short covering.
 Motors and oils. weakest features of recent days, also reflected that change of speculative sentiment, all though additional cuts were an uounced in crude oils and reviews of trade conditions hinted at further curtaiitneIft in the automobile in- dussry.
 The strength of eoppers and allied metals was aseribed to an increase of exports. Chemicals and fertilizers made moderate response to better market conditions.
 United States Steel was firm, clos Ing at q gain of large fraction. The report for the years secopd quarter, issued after the close of the mar ket. showed total earnings of s27,- 7sB945s compared with S19 ,339,9S5 in the previous quarter. Sales amounted to 765, 1000 shares.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES By Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, July 2b.-Fluctuations in cotton were wide and rapid today the market at one time being extremely soft but raliying sharply later and retaining this steadiness to the close when the list showed net gains on the day of to 10 points. At one stage of the session prices were 10 to Is points higher than yester- days finals, from which they slumped to levels 4S to 4S points below. October traded high as 21c pound. fell off to 20 .40c and closed at 20.95c.
 It was highly nervous market in the early trading. owing to conflicting views regarding weather conditions In the west ern belt, particularly in Texas. There was also much uncertainty over the spot situa- ton in the west. On claims of damage by hot weather and high winds the market rose to It's highest, but fell sharply on pri- vate predictions of rain for western sec- tions of Texas and reports of easier spot basis There was also much selling when the rumor was circulated that the government had postponed to September the special reports weevil damage and abandonment of acreage scheduled to be issued on August 1.
 The denial of this rumor by Washington and the denial of any weakening of the spot basis in south Texas had much to do with the rally. Buying became very heavy when Corpus Christi claimed that 1t was feeling a good export demand for new crop cotton. In the late trading a marked scarcity of contracts arose.
