WHEAT ADVANCES ARE OFF AT CLOSE OF DAYS TRADINGI
By Associated Press

Chicago, August 23.-Wheat prices averaged higher today but best prices were not maintained and at the finish there was little change from the previous close. Final fig- gures were unchanged to A Ac higher with September s1O2%c to 4.O2 ssc and December $1.OSss to s1.0SA Corn was 1sc to %c up, oats held steady and provisions were un- changed to 10c higher.
 There was some change in senti- ment noted in the wheat market and also further short covering, which was responsible for the bulge to the high point, which carried values above the outside of the previous week. Some reinstating of short lines was in evidence on the bulge and with lack of outside help, the reaction was easily attained. Fresh export demand was reported as slow although Liverpool showed better undertone and closed higher.
 Threshing is reported as making rapid progress in the Canadian north west and the movement of spring wheat is said to be increasing with hedging pressure there becoming more pronounced. The available sup ply now is said to be 95,S69. 900 bushels against 1ss.5s2,O00 bushels last year. Settlement of the coal strike and the Increase of 20 per cent in wages of common labor by the steel corporation had some eff feet, some trade regarding this as forecasting a better industrial sit uation.
 Corn was unsettled. Dry and hot weather prevailed in the southwest with further damage reports from that section and the forecast indi- cated generally fair but with slight- ly lower temperatures. Prices ad- yanced sharply on the bulge, there being good class of selling of Sep tember. the market being easily in- fluenced by small orders either way. Some rain was reported in parts of Nebraska. Illinois and Indiana. Country offerings were only fair with the car situation the main in fluence in checking business.
 Oats followed corn and provisions were firm, houses with export con- nections being fair buyers of Octo- Der lard which led to some short covering and offset brake in hog values.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By Associated Press

New Orleans, August 23.-While there were wide gains in the early trading in cotton today, all of the hard spots of the session attracted the most extensive kind of liquidation from the long side so that there were times when all of the advances were lost and at one stage the trading position were to 13 points below the prices of yesterday. Last prices were at net gains of to 10 points, October closing at 22.21c pound.
 Marked strength was displayed during the first call in response to a much higher Liverpool than due and to the raise in wages announced by leading steel com panies of the country. After bulging S4 to 36 points. the market ran Into heavy profit taking from the long side. and most of the gains were wiped out. Then fol- lowed a long series of bulges and reac- tions tho market reaching it's highest ieV- els following the issuance of the weekly crop reports by the government, these re- ports being considered even more unfavor- able than expected and styled by some brokers the worst reports of the season: At their best the trading months were 5b to AZ points over yesterdays close, with october up to 22.56c.
 A private bureau report on condition or GO per cent of normal indicated a crop of but H. 0O0 900 bales. was sustaining in- fiuence for a while, but liquidation finally became the dominating factor and during the last hour of the session October traded as low as 22.02c.

LONG ACCOUNTS
 FIGURE IN DAYS
 COTTON TRADING
By Associated Press

New York, August 23.-There was an increase of realizing or liquida- tion of long accounts as prices ap- preached the 23c level in the cotton market today and early advances were followed by reactions. Decem- Der contracts sold down from 22.9Oc to 22.40c, but recovered part of the loss on continued bullish crop re- ports, closing at 22.62c. The general market closed very steady at ad- vances of to 13 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 2S to 2S points on unex- pectedly steady Liverpool cables, re- ports of continued unfavorable crop progress in the south, and covering by sellers of late yesterday. There was a further advance during the middle of the morning on private report placing the condition of the crop at co., and the indicated yield at 11,000, ,000 bales and there was also bullish comment in weekly review of the weather bureau.
 The demand seemed to slacken or. the advance of 229Oc for October and 22.74c for January. however, and .he disposition to take profits on long cotton was probably increased by a feeling of uncertainty as to the labor outlook or possibility that bulllsh end-month condition figures would prove to have been discounted At any rate realizing became more active during the early afternoon and a Jew stop orders were uncovered on the decline to 22.42c for October and 222Sc for January or about 45 to 59 points from the early high level and 4 to 12 points net lower.
 After the execution of these orders. the market steadied up again on covering and some trade buying was reported on rallies of about 20 points from the lowest. Reports from Berlin to the department of commerce, in- dicated that German takings of American cotton for the next six months would not exceed half the German consumption of the last six months, were probably factor on the early afternoon decline.
 Exports today, 4,62S bales, making 122,370 so far this season. Port re- ceipts 4,54a United States port stocks, 376,557.

 Exclusive of Russia, this years European wheat crop is estimated, Mir. Dennis said, at 1,507,000 bushels. The total report is a decline of l56,S00,000 bushels as compared with last years phenomenal yield.
 This falling off in yield was ac- counted for by MT. Dennis by a re- duction of 1,500.000 acres in the area sown iR Europe by unfavorable growing conditions in the winter and early spring. and, in the case of Germany and Austria, by the lack of fertilizer.
