NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 30.-Although h the cotton market was unsettled and lower at some stages of the early session today 1t came back in fairly strong way later on and finally closed at net gains on the day of 10 to 19 points, with Oc- tober at a range of 20.62c to 2O.66c pound.

COTTON SEE-SAWSr ON CONFLICTING. WEATHER REPORT

NEW YORK, July 30,-Iu an ef- fort to reflect the conflicting news regarding the weather situation In Texas, the cotton market touay fluctuated over wide range oA prices and it was not until later aft ernoon that the trade was conNlnceo of insufficient rainfall, when prices had. a strong upIiI;, closing steady at 2 to 25 points net advance. october contracts selling at 21.34c made new high level for the day, but De- cember did not cross it's forenoon high of 21.22c. The day was made up of rapid fluctuations, the market being alternately weak and firm, with no particular trend, varying with the news from the belt. After opening 25 points lower on Septem- Der and s points higher to points lower on other months, it had an advance that carried active positions about 15 to 20 points net higher. This advance was based on fears that the Texas rainfall over sun day had not been heavy enough to do much good. but later private ad- vices reporting precipitation at quite a number of points in the state lea to a renewal of selling pressure un- der which the october position Tn the afternoon sold as low as 20.S2c
 
 market about 29 to 39 points under the previous close. On this break there was a good deal of hedge pres- sure from the southwest where It was said planters continued to sell very freely, with the basis weaken ing daily. The decline materially increased the local short interest, however, and when in the last hour, there were numerous complaints above excessive rain and weevil ac- tivities in the east and insufficient rainfall in Texas, together with re- ports of a better stock market, a covering movement developed that lifted the list about S2.50 bale from the lowest of the day. Several pr1- vate crop reports were published, all showing slight increases over last month, while the average of all those issued thus far is 700 with an indl- cated crop of 11,S02,o00 bales. The average guess of cotton exchange members, which last month exactly agreed with the government esti- mate was 7O.1. Exports today 14,7SS, making 4,S13,032 thus far this sea son.

5 HOR RT MARKET IS INDICATED BY RAPID ADVANCES

NEW YORK, July 30.-Prices ral- lied sharply in the latter part of to- days stock market upon the lifting of selling pressure which had been in evidence since Friday morning. Opening prices were heavy, due tL an accumulate of weekend selling orders, but many standard indus trials exhibited rallying tendency from the start and the rapidity of their advance indicated a temporarily oversold condition.
 Much of the selling this morning came from professional traders but commission house liquidation also quite extensive particularly from western points. This was influenced in part by the Presidents illness, the Cnfavorable condition of the wheat market and by the pessimistic news from abroad which also was reflected in the lower foreign exchange rates.
 One of the interesting events was the establishment of another new low for the year by United States Steel common, which touched S5 Y and then rallied to S7B for a slight fractional gain on the day. Heavi- ness of this issue apparently was in- fluenced by reports that 30 blast fur naces had closed down in the Pitts burg district. The quarterly report of the corporation to be issued after the close of business tomorrow is eX- pected to shcw a substantial in- crease in earnings over the first quarter.
 New low records for the year also were established by Texas and Pa cific which suffered as the result of a poor June earnings statement; Northern Pacific, Great Northern preferred and Chicago and North western. Willys- Overland preferred jumped 4 points to a new high.
 Baldwin touched a new low at 112 and then rallied to 115 for net gain of 2t tn the day. Gains of to 8 a points also were established by the Pan-American issues, Studebaker, American Can, Stromberg Carbure tor, Stewart Warner Speedometer, Mack Truck, Houston Oil and num- Der of others.
 Rails, as a rule, were more irregu- lar. Combined net June earnings of 5S class 1 railroads total $73,023. 900 as against $74,S43,000 in May. The semi-annual report of the American Locomotive company made public to- night shows gross earnings of S45,- 226,526 as compared with $21,722, 179 in the six months ending December 31, 1922
 Shifting of funds incidental to month end settlements resulted in somewhat stiffer rate for call money. which opened at 3 per cent advanced to 512 and thence to 6. Time money was scarce with some business being done in the longer maturities at the 5A per cent rate.
 Taking their lead from London and Paris, the foreign exchange rates were slightly lower. Demand ster- ling was off nearly a cent at $4.57 5-16 and French francs dropped ? points to 5.S6c Marks held fairly steady around S1 a million.
 Total stock sales, 752,300 shares; 20 industrials averaged SS11; net gain, IS; high 1923, 1O53S; low, S7.33 20 railroads averaged 7S.l3; net gain .73; high, 1923, 90.63; low, 76S5

ever, short lived 1t attracted fresh selling to the extent of probably 50,000 bales causing a break of 50 points and into new low friends. Private messages received just before this slump reported rain al McAlester. Okla, and Fort Worth, Tex. In the last hour shorts covered freely on a better tone shown in the stock market and profit taking on evening up for the bureau Wednesday. This covering brought prices back to the early highs and final of 10 to 20 points net gain for the day over the previous close. Spots were quiet and quotations unchanged to 15 points lower at Dallas Four Texas spot markets sold nearly 15,000 bales Sat urday at prices ranging from 2146c to 22.1Jc. Worth street continued quiet and there was more curtailment by southern mills. Seventyfive members of the New York Cotton Exchange average guess on the condition is 70.1 per cent. There was not much in the way of news during the session. Sentiment is mixed but it would scene that after the decline on which the technical position has been appar- ently completely reversed, cotton is en- titled to considerable rally, particularly should we get any bullish news.-S.

Chicago daily letter on grain. by pri- vate wire. to Doremus. Daniel & Co.,:
 CHICAGO July BOA balancing of the governments figures on the last crop year leads to the conclusion that 614 4,000. 900 bushels of wheat was consumed in the United States for the past year. This in cludes food, seed and animal feed. an average of 5,6 bushels per capita. From this basis. our Mir. Cromwell pre- sents some very important data in regard to the situation in the AZ states east of the Rockies, which have a population of 10S.50O, 900 people and whose consumption on the above basis would total 5s0, 900, 900 bushels Estimating this years wheat crop for the entire country at 500, 00o. 900 bushels. which Is probably liberal. we find only 667,000, 900 bushels produced east of the Rockies of which at least 50 000, 900 milling wheat in the United States, ex- elusive of Pacific coast states and also go for export. This leaves only 39. 900. .O0O for export, exclusive of durum. east of the Rockies and means that if we get our usual flour business from the West Indies. Central and South America, we are a domestic basis now. Pacific coast wheat is not likely to find its way either to this market or to eastern mills, because of prohibitive cost of transporta- tion. In view of the fact that feeding on the farms is already material, and that the low prices now prevailing are least 25 per cent in the winter wheat acreage, we believe the above figures if generally accepted, would justify a material advance from the present level of prices

 The idea that s5 dividend is the most 10 be expected under any circumstances has gained ground rapidly and in specu- lative circles it is argued that even should the s-hour day increase the cost of pro- auction this increased cost could not hs passed along to consumers of steel nrod- ucts. It seems to us as If bearish senti- ment is more freely expressed on Steel stock on the list. We have even heard of some switching from Steel common is no market with which to take liber- ties and like nervous cat on the back fence is likely to jump either way without warning. There does not seem to be any more confidence than there was the latter part of last week. The situation demands some bit of constructive news.
 New Orleans letter cotton, by pri- vate wire to Doremus, Daniel & Co: cotton market made new low levels today the declines were made in a more grudg ing way and the disposition to recover was rather more marked. The extremely soft undertone of some stages of the trading. of last week was missing. But for. the weakness of the stock market European politics, 1t is likely that cotton would have given better account of itself.
 The early trading brought advances because of the general belief that next to no rain had fallen in Texas and Okla homa over Sunday and because of the rainfall in the eastern belt, where too much rain rapidly Is getting to be a seri ous matter. When it became clear that scattered showers had fallen in the west the market broke but the forecast of dry weather for the western belt and of helped 1t to recover from it's lowest. In the second half of the session, it becane mrrh eS a pre-bureau affair. Private estimate conditions of the day all noted slight improvement for the month rang ing from 68,6 to 70.9 per cent of normal Late messages from New York said that the average guess of members of the Cotton Exchange there was 70l per cent The governments report on condition due at 10 o'clock. New Orleans time. Wednes day, is the controlling factor in the near future. In view of the length of the decline and the growing technical strength think 1t wise to take profits on short contracts and on any further good declines the long side would appear safer than the short,
