COTTON RECOVERS
 AFTER BIG LOSSES
Latter Half Of Week Sees
 Steady Price Rise

NEW YORK, August 2s.-The sell Ing movement which followed the pub- lication of the governments crop re- port of last Saturday sent prices off to 2s.75c for December contracts in the market here on Monday. At this price the market showed a decline of over 5 cents pound as compared with the high levels touched toward the end of last July, and offerings then tapered off as If the increased estimates of the yield had been pretty well discounted. Rallies followed on covering which was stimulated by more numerous reports of deterioration in crop prospects, par dcularly in parts of Texas and south ern Georgia, with December contracts selling up to 2472c on Wednesday, or nearly cent a pound from the lowest. Later week fluctuations were irregular on evening up of commitments for over Labor Day, but the market showed steady undertone at the end of the week when there appeared to be rsther in- creased optimism over the European political situation and something of ideas of the crop. An increased vol tune of hedge selling was repaired on the rallies toward the end of the week with some easing of the basis in ear Her producing sections, but the offer ings were absorbed by covering, while etSO AAefC OCSu oO4lAe ITaQG OuY- ing on the dips as a hedge against for ward requirements. Most brokers, how ever, attributed the bulk of the demand to covering by people who had been sellers on the declines from the high levels of last July. Reports from both Liverpool and Manchester have indi- cated continued good inquiry for cot ton goods in the British trade, and rel ative steadiness in the Liverpool mar ket during the past two or three days Is believed to have been partly due to end-month price fixing on call cotton. Reports from the domestic goods mar ket have shown no change of conse- quence. comparatively small volume of business being noted with much of 1t representing sales by second hands. but the opinion Is expressed by local traders that if>anything if stocks of goods in primary markets, have been reduced somewhat since the middle of July.

WHEAT REACHES HIGHER AVERAGE Rise Due To Dry Weather In Argentine And Firm

CHICAGO, August 2s.--Dry weather in Argentine and firmness of the mar ket in LiverpoofS were chiefly respon- sible for a higher average in wheat val ues today. At the finish wheat was up 1% to Pc, with September $1.25h 01.24ik, and December, S1.2901.2 .29%; corn under went a setback of # to 13Ac; oats de- ciined X to Ac and provisions were un- changed to 17kc off.
 Firmness in Liverpool reflecting ygs- terday's advance at Winnipeg and Buenos Aires was given additional firm ness today because of heavy rains in England and reports of deteriora- tton in northern Argentina, where 1t was said the country is urgently in need of rain. The market here was and buyers rushed into the pit, making 1t easy to maintain higher levels. On the bulge, however, a good class of selling was brought out, which caused a moderate break. Later, predictions of colder weather in-- the Canadian Northwest brought some good buying into the mart, and again sent values up. Requests for wheat for shipment to Vladisvostok were taken as confirming recent reports of crop failures. over a wide territory In Russia,

 NEW STRENGTH
German Acceptance Of Dawes Plan Brings
 About Brisk Rally


 NEW YORK, August 2e.--Gerrnany's acceptance of the Dawes reparatfons program today infused fresh strength into a tagging bond market, bringing about brisk rallies in French, Austrian and other European obligations and turning the trend of domestic issues upward. With investment experts rely ing on reparations for f1otation of the German loan as embodied in the Dawes plan to govern the course of tho market for the next few months, the reich- stag's action today was considered of prime importance. French bonds, which have been marketing time pending the outcome of the legislative fight in Ger gains of to more than 8 points under the leadership of the governments is sues. Belgian, Austrian and Serbian loans also were strengthened.
 Discussion regarding the offering of the German loan was revived, with the consensus of banking opinion holding that it would probably be placed on the market about October 15. A rrangements for underwriting the issue, it was indi- cated, would now proceed rapidly.
 While activity in foreign bonds over shadowcd dealings in other sections of the list, there was decidedly firmer tone to railroad liens, which were aided to some extent by the completion of pend ing merger and the increase in car loadings. Among the issues cpnspicu- ous in the trading were Frisco, Missouri Pacific, Delaware and Hudson and Rans sas City Terminal bonds. Wilson 6 Co.

Dealers, however, have been keep Ing the market fairly active among themselves and altogether prices are very strong and gradually rising week by week. The wools left in the west are held on level fully up to eastern markets or even a bit higher.
 "The season in the goods markets ap- pears to be developing cautiously and rather steady, although there is good reason to believe that the larger mills have secured fair yardage in advance of the formal openings.

COTTON RALLIES
 AFTER DECLINES December Rises To 24.S7, New High Ground For
 The Week

NEW YORK, August 29.-Early de- cIfnes were followed by rallies in the cotton market today, which carried prices up to PAST for December and into new high ground for the week and movement. At this price, December showed a net advance of A points and 2 recovery of 112 points from the low of last Monday. December closed at 2s75c, the general market closing steady at net advances of 23 to g points.
 The market opened easy at a de cline of 1S to 27 points because of relatively easy Liverpool cables, re- ports of an easier spot basis in the southwest late yesterday and southern selling which was supposed to repre- sent an increase in the volume of hedg- ing. The decline extended to 24.50c for October and 24.10c for January be- fore midday, when the general list showed net losses of about 20 to 40 points. At these figures, however. the volume of offerings tapered off and the market turned firmerJ on covering for over Labor Day.
 The disposition to even up old com mitments was promoted by the fa- vorable character of European political advices and the detailed weather re- ports showing extremely high tempera- lures in nearly all sections of the south. October advanced to 25.25c and January to 24.S4c, or about "A to 76 points from the low levels of the morning. The close was within 10 or 12 points of the best. A private crop report published before the opening placed the condition of the crop at 62.9 and the indicated yield at 12,592, 900 on the basis of the governments estimated area under cul- tivation. These figures were not mem tioned prominently as market fac tor, the afternoon advance being at tributed chiefly to the separations and weather news.

BRADsTREET's REvTEW

NEW YORK, August 29.-Bradstreet tomorrow will say:
 Moderate improvement is the phrase that best describes the slow, and de- spite some cross currents, steady prog ress that trade and some, not all, of the industries have made in an ordi- narily quiet week heralding the close of the vacation period. Fully half of the reports speak of enlargement in wholesale and jobbing trade, but it is fo be noted that while primary and secondary trade markets are fully fair, retail trade tends to lag slightly behind and improved in industry pursues a still more leisurely pace. Even in job ping centers where trade and market weeks, conventions and buyers excur- sions have tended to bring in buyers, there is very general agreement that anticipation still out-strips actual per- formance. This week also has seen a further subsistence of speculative activi- ties with further reduction in sales and prices in security markets and with rather marked downward trend in prices of speculatively dealt in farm products generally.
