BREAK IN COTTON
 SAVED BY RALLY
Heavy Selling Takes Place In New York Market
 After Call

NEW YORK, July 1S.-After break ing 50 to 70 points under heavy realiz- ing early today, the cotton market re- covered most of the loss on covering and renewal of the recent buying move ment. October sold up from 25.90 to 26.50c, or within points of yesterday s final quotation and closed at 263Sc. The general market closed steady at a net advance of points on July, but 9 to ? points net lower on new crop posi- tions.
 The market opened easy at an ad- vance of points on July, but gener- ally lower in response to relatively easy cables, reports of showers at a few points in the southwest and better weather news from eastern belt sec tions. There was heavy selling right after the call, and some stop orders uncovered on the break, carried July off to 30.80c and December to 25O5c or 55 to 72 points net lower. Scale down buying orders gradually absorbed the offerings and the market turned upward again in the afternoon through fear that the southwestern showers would be insufficient to relieve droughty conditions in view of the continued high temperatures in that section. July led the recovery notwithstanding further ar rivals here for delivery and advanced to 31.43c or 8 points net higher. Later deliveries recovered most of their early loss. December advancing to 25.59c. The close was few points from the best.
 Liverpool cables said relative weak ness there was due to free offerings by importers, London and continental liquidation and poor spot demand.
 Another private crop report published today placed the condition at n and the indicated yield at 12,38f 900 bales.

WHEAT SUFFERS STRONG SET BACK
Rains In Canadian North west Cause Reaction
 In Market

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Wheat under went decided setback in price today, owing largely to reports of drenching rains over parts of the Canadian north west and also as a result of big deliver ies on July contracts at Winnipeg. Closing prices here for wheat were un settled to 45s cents net lower, Sep tember SPA 5-7 to $1.24N, and De cember $1.27h to $1.27%, with corn IFS to 3H cent down, oats 1H to IA cent off, and provisions varying from unchanged figures to 17 cents decline.
 General sellng took place in the wheat market right from the outset. X prevalent opinion was that such DOT tions of the Canadian crop as had been planted late would receive benefit from the rainfall, even though a great deal of other wheat was beyond aud. Addi- tional selling was influenced by lower quotations at Liverpool and by asser- tions that purchasing had been over done and that reaction was due. Be- sides the heavy profit taking sales turing a thrte-day continuous advance had apparently filled up demand for at least the time being. Lowest pric.s of the day in the wheat market were reached just before trading ended, a11 were hand iu hand with news that deliveries at WinniG;g totalcd l. 562 UsO bushels. Furthermore c:up estimates from Canadian sources were construed as bearish in relation to re- cent estimates. from Chicago experts. The fact that southwestern domestic markets were receiving good amounts of wheat on consignment acted too, as something of a weight on values.
 Corn and oats sympathized with wheat weakness, despite unfavorable weather for corn growth. Oats were steadied somewhat through support given by an elevator interest here.
 Provisions went lower with grain, notwithstanding an upturn in hog values.

CARRIER STOCKS REACH NEW PRICE Wall Street Witnesses Old
 Fashioned Railroad Market

NEW YORK, July 1s.-Wall street today witnessed an old-fashioned rail road market, during which 34 carrier stocks advanced to new high prices for the year inspired by the interstate commerce commissions refusal to re- duce the freight rate on grain. Total transactions approximated one and one quarter million shares, making it one of the nose active sessions this year.
 The buying movement in the rails embraced both the high grade and nom dividend paying shares. Among the issues to break through their previous high levels were New York Central, Atchison, Illinois Central, Southern Pacific, North Pacific, Great Northern preferred, Chicago and North Western, all three Rock Island issues, Atlantic CGast Line, and Big Four. the last nafhed jumping 61a points on a few sales. s4
 Copper shares also gave good demonstration of group strength, seven issues in that group attaining new peak prices, although the net gains as a rule WcEG SI1ulls ouylHB Ol4 thSSC ASONSS were stimulated by reports that several European countries were planning the extensive coinage of silver which has steadily been appreciating in value for weeks. pt
 Outside the rails and copper groups there was largely speciality market with the best gains being recorded by such issues as General Electric, Ameri- can Car and Foundry, Adams Express, Advance Rumeley preferred, Cuyamel Fruit, Davidson Chemical, Goodyear Tire, preferred, Lima Locomotives, Saw age Arms, Texas Gulf and Sulphur, all up 5 points and many at new top prices or,.the year. - Y Pool operations were vigorously con. ducted in several of the stocks. Con siderable significance was attached to the fact that loans up to seven months were available at BIZ per cent prior loans at. that rate being limited to six months. s's.." ...-..
 Call money again ruled at two per cent, :. although large loans were re- ported to be available in the outside market as low as 115. Time money and commercial paper rates were un- changed. s

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 1o.-1ne cOL- ton market was two-sided today declln- ing sharply in the first half of the ses- sion and recovering the greater part of the loss in the second half. The weather continued to be the dominating factor, although evidences that July longs were tightening their hold on the shorts in the northern market greatly helped the recovery from the early slump. Start ing out with a good decline on much weaker Liverpool cables than due, the market continued to ease off during the morning until October traded at 25.OOc and December at 24.90c, or 63 to 72 points down from the closing levels of yesterday. The rally in the second half of the session carried October up to 25 6Oc and December to 25.42c or a recovery of 52 to 60 points from the low of the morning. There was a slight reaction in the final trading on realizing. There was not much move ment locally in July, which rallied from a low of 27.5Oc in the morning to 2SOOc in the afternoon, The. close showed net losSes for the day of IA points on July and 24 to p points on active new crop months.
 The main influences back of the slump
 
 of the morning was the reports of rains in parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas and the Panhandle of Texas. The con tributing influences. included the disap- pointing course of Liverpool and the change in the technical position due to the general covering of shorts in yesterdays market. There were also somewhat more favorable results from the eastern belt as to the condition of the crop and Texas advices continued optimistic despite the heat wave and lack of rains.
 The sharp rally in the second half of the session was attributed primarily to the tightening of the hold of the July longs on the shorts in that month in the northern market coupled with claims that cotton reported to have been shipped to New York on delivery on contracts was not showing up. Cot ton goods news was also more favor able and Fall River reported sales for the week of 6O,OOO bales. Continued hot weather in the west was an added in- fluence, Texas reporting 26 stations with temperatures of 100 to 1O6 de- grees.
