TENDENCY TO RISE M PRICE SHOWN M WHEAT MARKET

CHICAGO, Iill., uly 13.-Wheat showed something of a tendency to rise in price today owing rather to an absence of selling pressure than any aggressive buying. Closing quo- tations were unsettled at h to F c net gain, September 99ssc to 99a4 c and December s1,02h to $1.02ss Corn finished 9sc to &c up, oats varying from A decline to 1sc ad vance, and provisions 7c to 12c down.
 In view of recent sharp declines in price, the majority of wheat traders showed for at least the time being a disposition to avoid the selling side The volume of hedging ap- peared to have fallen off, and this circumstance was generally taken to mean. that farmers were refraining as far as possible from letting their grain go, and were waiting for an up- turn in values. Some optimism in various quarters that settlement of counted likewise as bullish factor. and so too did a renewal of talk about possible damage by black rust both In the Dakotas and Canada.
 Estimates that the 1923 Canadia n crop of wheat would be the largest on record, 100000, ,0O0 bushels as aganist 996.000,000 bushels here, last year, made the market here ease down bit in the late dealings. Meanwhile export demand continued unimpressive, despite some business by way of the Gulf of Mexico and Ac advance in premiums there for wheat available to be loaded during August. Gossip about a supposed proposed probable surplus in Russia was circulated. but failed to have much if any effect.
 Complaints of abnormally hot dry weather in Texas and oklahoma gave irmness 10 the corn market. July delivery nearly equalled the seasons hlgh price record. oats were upheld by corn strength.
 Downturns in the value hogs weakened the provision market.

COTTON RISES ON DROUGHT REPORT FROM SOUTHWEST

NEW YORK, July 1s.-The reports of continued dry hot weather in the southwest seemed to be making more serious impression on sentiment in the cotton trade during today's late trading. At any rate, demand be- came more active and general and after having sold at 23.S2c during the early trading October advanced to 24.6Oc. or 69 points net higher while December sold up to 24.15c, or 73 points above yesterdays closing quo tations. October closed at 24.50c, with the general market closing strong at a net advance of points on July and from 59 to 7s points on October and later deliveries.
 The market opened steady a Un- changed prices to an advance of : points on overnight buying orders. but almost immediately eased off Hnder scattered selling which was evidently promoted by mid month condition report of 71.2 and continued complaints of a poor demand for cotton goods. The latter were ac- companied by claims there would be increased mill curtailment in New England but the decline was checked by the continuance of dry hot wealth CT in Texas and Oklahoma, and the market turned firmer during the mid ale of the day on covering and trade buying. The demand seemed to be held in check around the 24c level for October and there was probably some little selling on reports that Texas was suffering new crop ship meptS on an easier basis. Offerings were absorbed on very moderate set backs. however, and there was a more active demand late in the aft ernoon which seemed to come from both foreign and domestic trade sources; also from Wall street and western shorts. The better tone Of the late stock market was probably 4 factor on this advance, but the chief feature, according to local brokers, was growing anxiety over the southwestern crop outlook and covering by trade shorts. July was relatively quiet but sold up to 2725c or l5 points net higher. The close was 0 few points off from the best under realizing. Exports today S,926, making 4,700,097 so far this season Ports receipts 3,324. United States port stocks, 1,729.

NEW YORK COTTON FrTURFs
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. July 13-Pronounced strength was taken on by the cotton mar ket today, following slight declines on the opening. Moderate gains were sustained during the session and were sharply widened in the late trading when there was a sudden squirt in the demand due apparently, to the efforts of shorts to cover: Fear of high temperatures and drouth in Texas and Oklahoma was the main factor of the session. although some Of the steadiness borrowed from the stock market.
 Around the opening prices were ? to 4 points down, but very shortly prices were moved up to small net gains and the gains were gradually lvidened until they amounted to about s1 to s1.50 a bale In the late trading prices were carried T to 76 points higher than yesterdays close on the new crop. months.

July did not make full response to the advance on the new crops and stood at 269 9Sc at it's best, closing a { that price, which was 23 points higher than yesterdays close. On the close the new crops were 63 to T points higher than yesterdays finals, with october at a range of 23S0c to 23.S5c.
 Claims of somewhat easier spot basis in Texas had little effect against values. and a private bureau mid month crop re- port, estimating the condition at 71.2 or zS points higher than the condition of a fortnight ago, went almost unnoticed

DUN'S REVIEW
-,.,,, ,,-, t-N hEFIEW
 EW YORK, July i2.-Duns tomorrow

NEW FORK, July 13.-Dun's tomorrow will say:
 Contrsction of demand ana decline of prices mark the present midsummer pe- rlod In different branches of business A further reduction of output in basic in dustries also Is witnessed and there is a sharp contrast between the slowing down process now and the noteworthy expansion or the first quarter of the year. The change, however, is not unnatural activi- ties invariably diminishing at this season, and confidence still prevails in many abated. with many requirements covered by the heavy purchasing. potential gains remain large and the absence of excessive accumulation is a favorable augury Va rious statistical measures show that trans actions continue of substantial volume in the aggregate, and there Is no precedent for the total of car loadngs reported for the end of June. The remarkable freight movement represents orders placed some time ago. rather than current business but 1t affords unmistakable evidence of the decisive industrial revival that has occurred this year.

HELD ON LIQUOR CHARGE
John T. Davis, Former Miller Circuit
 Clerk, Arrested in Texas.

Texarkana, May 2S.-According to advices received here, John T. Davis, former circuit clerk of Miller county, Arkansas, was arrested and jailed at Paris, couple of days ago on a charge of violating the prohibition law. It is alleged he was caught with about 100 gallons of white mule in an auto- mobile being presumably en route from Texarkana to Dallas. It was said he would probably make bond to- day. Davis was circuit clerk for four years, retiring from office the first of this year. A short time ago he was indicted by the Cass county (Texas) Grand Jury on a charge of being an accessory to arson in connection with the burning of gin in that county, but made bond of $5,OO0 and was released.
