Cotton Loses 176 To 2Oo Points Last Week

NEW ORLEANS, July 29.-lt was a week of declines in the cotton mar . ket and net changes on the close Eere losses of 176 to 209 points. October closing at 20.43, or within points of the lowest. Highest lev els were reached on the opening ses- sions of the week and lowest prices on the closing session. In the spot department middlng lost 300 points, closing a. 22c a pound, which price compared with 21.50c Ln the close of this week last year.
 Mainly responsible for the decline was the feeling that, on the whole. the crop was doing well for this stage of the growing season. Com plaints Of drouth an high tempera- lures came from Texas and Okla homa and complaints of toe much rain came from sections of the east ern belt but large areas reported satisfactory conditions and scattered rains in Texas and Oklahoma at the end of the week helped to put prices to their lowest. The increasing move ment of new crop cottCn in tho southwest was against values, there being little demand present in the spot department. Unfavorable con- ditions abroad and the quiet in the textile industry were adverse in- fluences.
 This week while the trade will be obliged to pay much attention to Texas whether the July condition report by the government is likely to be the outstanding feature. It will be issued at 10 o'clock, New Orleans time, Wednesday The trade ex- poets figures slightly higher than fast months condition percentage of 699 and looks for indicated crop figures of around 100000 bales, The average of private reports on ina crop is about 70.5 and eight out of ten private reports which have come out are higher than for the

HIGH GRADE BONDS HOLD FIRM DURING PAST SEVEN DAYS
Railroad Lines Ease In Sym pathy With Stocks, But
 Loss Small

NEW YORK, July 29.-(By Associ- ated ss.)-With the exception of railroad liens, which eased in sym pathy with railroad stocks, high grade investment bonds held rela- tlvely firm in the trading on the New York Stock Exchange during the past week The loss in the rail group was not large. Speculative bonds moved largely with the stocks.
 New bond offerings continued at a low figure, the weeks issues total ing only S13O46, ,000, compared with S10,673,000 the previous week. In at least one instance no bids were made on an offering of municipal bonds, investment bankers asserting it was impossible to handle such issues at par or better with a coupon rate of only 419.
 for oil companies which desire to extend their storage facilities to care for the surplus production of crude oil and gasoline, but nothing definite developed in the matter during the past week.
 The bid of the National City com pany for 20,00000o gold pesos of an authorized issue of 35000,000 gold pesos was rejected by the Uruguayan government Several other South American issues are under negoti- ation, including the Argentine $50.- 
 notes of the same amount due in Oc- tober, but international bankers in- dicated further offerings would not be presented until market conditions have improved.
 At the same time bankers reported comparatively easy money and there were persistent reports that banking institutions had switched from short time investments to long term bonds, indicating they do not anticipate any immediate shortage of funds.
 Chief offerings last week include: s4,020,000 one to fifteen year per cent equipment bonds of the Hook ing Valley Railway company at prices to yield 5.45 per cent; $2,000,- 000 one to twenty year Az per cent forest bonds of Cook county, Illinois, at prices to yield 4.25-50 per cent; S1,490,000 one to eleven year 4% per cent funding bonds of Waterbury Conn. at prices to yield 4.35-4o per cent, and S1.617,0O0 one to thirty five year 4 per cent gold bonds of Atlantic City, N. J., at prices to yield 450-60 per cent.
 An issue of $2.O1O, 900 six to fifteen year 51z per cent Wabash railway equipment certificates was sold pr!- vately subject to the approval of the interstate commerce commission.

occur and as trading in the July future came to an end last week. holders were unable to hedge with sales of the distant futures without taking loss and were forced to sell out on what was practically a spot cotton bass. This is the time when the first of the new cotton comes on the market and while the carry-over is small, for eign demand is limited and trade conditions are such that domestic mills are moving slowly. The govern ment crop report Is due August l. The trade expects a condition of 70 per cent as against 69.9 last month and an indicated crop of 11,S0o,000 as compared with the June estimate of 11,412,000.
 The oil situation is causing some worry, although each week should bring nearer the time when flush production in California, the upset ting factor, will decline appreciably. Output continues to keep ahead of consumption. Under these circum- stances 1t is easy to see why the price tendency is downward.
 Money shows no tendency of tightening such as it would do if the credit position were becoming strained. The weekly statement of the reserve system shows that mem Der banks in the agricultural dis tricts have been able to finance the crop movement so far without aid.

MORE ACTIVITY IN MARKETFOLLOWED ]
 BY BEAR ATTACKS
Nothing Really New Has De- cured Either At Home Or
 Abroad Past Week

NEW YORK. July 2s.-(By As sociated Press. )-mcreased activity in many of the financial markets as the past week closed was coupled with a renewal of bearish attacks at points where 1t was believed that re- sistance might crumble. As reasons, or at least excuses, for the selling were cited disquieting news from Germany and unfavorable domestic political and industrial developments. Nothing really new has occurred either at home or abroad.
 In Europe, a settlement appears to be nearer, although of course, it will not come so suddenly as to take anyone by surprise. At home the pegs on which selling was hung have been in place for some time, namely, an increasingly difficult situation in oil, unsatisfactory earnings of certain western railroads and a slackening of manufacturing activity in some lines, notably cotton textiles.
 Fundamentally, conditions remain sound, and 1t Is not believed that the markets are going to be stamped at this stage. Having adopted a walt ing attitude since the turn of the half year, the markets. according to the best quarter, are not likely to more of a line can be had on what the autumn will bring forth. The season of half yearly earning state ments, meanwhile, is at hand, and almost without exception these re- ports make cheerful reading.
 wooIen Prices Boosted.
 An indication of how one industry looks at the future is contained in the announcement of an II per cent increase in prices by the American Woolen company. Apparently this iS suming public will absorb the ad- vance. The outlook for rubber, sugar and certain of the non ferrous metals also has improved. With all but three Cuban centrals through with the years campaign. 1t is evident that short of the four million-ton output of last year. Consumption Is run ming well up with last year While new buying in copper has not actually developed. the trade has re- affirmed its belief that 1t is bound to come with the fall.
 The steel industry apparently Is catching up with its thrilled orders and experts predict some price re- auctions during the fall. Still, pro- duction remains high and 1t Is pointed out that several companies which have been quick to cut prices in dull times now are merged with companies which ususally pursue a different policy. The United States Steel Corporation will issue its sec- ond quarterly earning statement on Tuesday. The report Is expected to show a learge gain over the preced- ing quarter.
 Another favorable sign from the standpoint of fall business Is the maintenance of record freight car loadinss. Loadings for the second week of July were again above the million car mark and this is taken as an indcaton that goods are moved into consumption rather than piling up. Moreover, it augurs we'll for rail- road earnings.

Motor Car Said To Have Smashed
 Through Crossing Gates

NEW YORK, July 29.-William l. GottlieD, president of Gottlieb & Raj binowiz, Inc, garment manufactur- CTS. and four young women were killed early today when a Long Island passenger train crashed into the automobile in which they were returning from Long Beach.
 The accident happened at the Mer- rick road crossing in Rockville Gen. ter. when, according to witnesses Gottlieb's car smashed through the crossing gates directly in the path of the speeding train.
 Wreckage and bodies from the car were carried for more than 100 feet and the front of the automobile still was wedged against the front of the locomotive when the train came to q stop 1000 feet down the track.
 Death apparently came instantly to four of the five victims. One of the young women died as she was being plactd in an automobile to be rushed to a hospital.
