REACTION FOLLOW
 OPENING ADVANCE NCOTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, August 21.-An early advance of about half a cent on in- creasing confidence in low end-month lowed by reactions in the cotton mar ket today as a result of realizing and reports of better weather in the southwest. December sold off from 24.6l, the early high level, to 24.30. and closed at 24.35, with the general market closing steady at net ad- vances of 15 to 27 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 32 to 3S points on relatively steady cables and the failure of the weather map to show any rain the southwest. Houses with Liverpool connections were good buyers, and there appeared to be a broadening Wall street and commission house demand, which was suppoed to be based upon a belief that it was too late for any improvement in weather conditions to have much effect on the end-August crop figures, which will be made up at the end of this week. Continued reports of an inn proving tone in the cotton goods market contributed to the advance on the ground that it might result in a broadening of trade demand suf ffcient to offset the increasing new crop movement. Active months sold 46 to 53 points net higher before the demand was satisfied, with October advancing to 24.71 and January to 24.25, or within few points of the recent high levels. More realizing appeared at these figures, and selling become a little more active during the afternoon on the detailed weather reports showing showers at 16 sta tions in Texas ranging up to nearly {nahae af station in the northeast part of the state, and the outlook for lower temperatures in the western belt sections generally. There was also reports of slightly easier spot basis in the Texas mar ket. which probably increased the disposition to take profits on long contracts. and prices prices reacted about 30 points from the best, selling back to 24.4O for october and 23.97 for January The close was a few points up from the lowest on re- newed covering. Exports today, 4,125 bales, making 122.6S3 so far this sea- son. Port receipts, HASA. United States port stocks, 170,791.

SELLING IN OILS BASED ON REPORTS OF NEW FINANCING

NEW YORK, August 21.-The up v~ard movement of prices was re- sgnn ed in todays stock market dS- apite the Intermittent selling of the oil shares and occasional short att tacks against other parts of the list, Pool operations were again in evil deuce, apparently in the hope of att tractng an outside intere< which has not been very extensive in recent months.
 Buying was most effective in the independent steels and AmeSeCan Can. Gulf States Steel, which is rather closely held. was pushed up 1 points; Crucible Steel, 2a, Repub- lie 1% and Bethlehem IF. American Can ranged from 95 3s to 9914. closing at 9Ssl for net gain of 9 # points.
 Baldwin, Studebaker and United States Steel common, which were heavy in the carly dealings, all closed at slight fractional gains.
 Selling on the oil shares was based on unconfirmed reports of new financing by the Pan-American com- pany. and fears for the safety of div idends of some of the smaller com panies.
 American lost about 1h points on the day as did Producers and other refiners. Most of the losses in that group were of a fractional character.
 There were no news developments to affect the course of prices. Wall street was intensely interstd, how Yer, in the French reply to Great Britains note. which was delivered today and probably will be made public tome orrow.
 The first of the July railroad earn ings reports made their appearance today. Kansas City Southern report ed an increase in both gross and net earnings thus far this year, indicat- ing an annual return of 4 F per cent or better on the common stock. Union Pacific reported a slight inc crease in gross last month over tho month before, but the net operating income was only $1.S54,035 as against S2,229,32b in June, due to the higher operating expenses, mostly for main- tenance of way and equipment.
 Call money held firm at per cent. Withdrawal of funds from this cen- ter by interior banks in order to finance crop movements resulted in a slightly higher asking rate for time money which was offered at 55 per cont. with A bid. Business was dull. Most of the prime commercial paper moves at 5A per cent.
 Allied exchange rates were slight y firmer. Demand sterling, which touched new low yesterday, snapped back to $4.55, and French francs rallied 61s points to 5.63k cents. Spanish pesetas, which have been adversely affected by the un- favorable departments in Morocco, touched a new low at 1927 cents and then rallied to 1881.
 Total stock sales 569,20o shares.

nn,r npIrANs CnrrnN

NEW ORLEANS, August 21.-An early bulge carried the price of cotton to its highest level today After that small to moderate recessions occurred in the buying power, to all appearances having been ex- pended. The opening advance was dne to a much better Liverpol market more than to anything else, while later sags were caused by realizing sales from the short side and by hedge selling. The close was at net gains on the day of 20 to 25 points, october last sales ranging from 23. S6c to 23 S9c.
 The initial gains carried prices s7 to, A points higher than the close of yesterday to 24 03c a pound for October. Crop com plaints from here and there over the belt and expectations of low cndition fig ures from private sources helped to give the market a steady tone in the face of reports of further rains in the western belt, although these reports were some what offset by the fact that the official weather map was dry over both Texas and Oklahoma.
 Realizing sales from the long side were stimulated by reports of quiet in the spot department. following the filling of Au- gust commitments. Hedge selling came into the market in scattering way and at no time were offerings from any quar- ter concentrated. Some support was de- rived late in the day from cabled reports that France was offering concessions in the matter of reparations. but buyers in the late session were not aggressive.

BUTTER MARKET n AA a1 III. l

CHICAGO, August zI.-Ihe butter mar ket here today assumed even easier tone. Trading was very dull and stocks of all descriptions showed some accumulation. There was some call for butter around 8sc. but otherwise demand was confined to ur- gent needs. In anticipation of the de- clines. traders generally were anxious to sell at the below quoted prices and in- come instances were wiling to make con sessions, aside from a few sales of cars of s9 score, trading in cars practically at a standstill This class of goods was of. fered freely at quoted prices, but 1t is doubtful if buyers would have been inter. ested to any extent even at concessions.

HUBBARD's LETTER

NEW YORK. August 21.-(Special.l- Liverpool was much better than due this morning on poor crop adYices and some covering by shorts. Consequently, our market opened some S5 to 40 points up. This buying the opening was caused by short covering and fresh buying from local interests after the first half hour. The market became quiet but steady and eased a trifle on reports of good rains over the western part of Texas.
 This seemed to have little effect the market as prices recovered quickly and advanced above the opening. It seems to us that the rains that were reported should have caused the market to go sub stantially lower. but instead of that the market was steady. In view of this ac- tion of the market it must be that there is a rather large short interest, and that acter or reports of heavy movement to cause it to break sharply. The market was a trifle easier on the close. Futures are due in Liverpool tomorrow; October l3.s1d, January IS. S7d.-Hubbard Bros. & Co.,
