Fluctuations in the active Issues were never very wide and the market for long stretches at time as- stunned q characteristio pre-hoHday as- pect. The timeliness of the Tetchstag'a action cannot be denied.

 Prior to this change in tho complex- son of the European cables, the santis unent in financial circles seemed to be that q reaction might be expected which would continue immediately after the holiday. Thig fear was Quackfy dfspefied and the market closed with flourish. The weekly reviews of business were even moro optimistic than last week ir ? describing the further gains made ir business expansion in q. period which : ts normally Inactive in most commercial lines Cautious buying IS still the or. derso& the day in many branches, but E it is pointed out that stocks he'd are 4 by no means burdensoEne.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO, August 2s.--wheat prices were highest at the opening and near the close. The opening advance was influenced by stronger cables. The early advance brought out long sales. Exporters and houses with northwest connections bought on the setback which caused a rally showing the in- herent strength of the market! Eleva- tor interests were Buyers of May and sellers of December. A good export and milling demand for cash wheat was reported. World crop news gener- ally bullish in tenor. Corn was ir- regular, opening firm and closing slightly easier, although there was a good rally from the low point. Fluc- tuations was about cents in range. Crop news mixed, reports of rain in Nebraska, where much needed, had a weakening effect.

COTTON MARKET fi
 TO BE VOTED ON
Chicago Board Of Trade To De eide Issue Sept. 8

CHICAGO, August 2o.-Members of the board Of trace will vote September and decide whethef or not Chicago will become cotton market. The rules were posted today for ballot.
 A cotton futures market on the floor of the exchange, market leaders be- lieve. would not conflict with the New Orleans and New York exchanges, but would stimulate interest in cotton and aid in developing q broader market.
 Under the new rules now being pub lished the proposed cotton futures mar ket would function under the cotton futures act. An official examiner on the exchange would be responsible to the federal board of cotton examiners under the department of agriculture. Trading would be contracted under a supervisory committee and intentional failure of delivery would be ground for expulsion. Verbal contracts would have the same force as written contracts un- der the rules. A majority vote would adopt the new rules, which have al ready received the approval of the bu. reau of economics, department of agri. culture, and of counsel for the ex. change. ''Importance of the new cotton mar. ket to Chicago can hardly be exag9er. &ted," said [ grain trade leader, "Fol a long time there has been ( demand for such q market in this section of
