RAIN REPORTS
 BOOST COTTON
October Registers Net Gain Of 57 Points For
 The Day

NEW YORK, July S.--Complaints of excessive rainfall in Atlantic state sections appeared to be making more serious impression on sentiment in the cotton market today and prices were generally higher. October contracts ad- vanced to 24.50c, net gain of 57 points and a recovery of 76 points from the low level of yesterday. There was realizing enough to cause reactions in later trading, however, and October closed at 24.20c, the general market closing barely steady at net advances of 2 to 9 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of 15 to 26 points in response to steady Liverpool cables covering and local buying on the eastern belt rain reports. Offerings were comparatively light after the declines of the past two or three days and the midday advance was promoted by renewed firmness of July, which sold upf to ,29.2Oc or 62 points net higher on covering.
 The two July notices issued evidently were stopped, and the July premium widened out to about 475 points over October compared with 465 points at the close yesterday. Later there were reiterated rum6rs that the spot month premium was attracting cotton; here, including reports that few thousand bales were coming back from Bremen, and July offeringes increased in the late trading. The price eased to 2S.6Oc and closed at that level, while new crop months showed closing reactions of 24 to 30 points from the best.
 Except for the rains. in Georgia and the Carolinas, detailed weather re- ports were considered generally favor able and there was probably some sell ing of new crop months in the after noon on expectations of fairly satis- factory weekly review by the weather bureau tomorrow.
 Exports today 7,446, making 5,632,- 513 so far this season. Port receipts 4,750. United States port stocks 255,17S.

 MODERATE GAIN
Numerous Speculative Is- sues Break Into New
 High Ground

NEW YORK, July 8.-Bond prices today registered moderate improvement with numerous speculative issues break ig into new high ground for the year. Railroad liens led the advance in the domestic list but persistent selling of Brazilian obligations based on uneasi- ness over the Sac Paulo revolution had an unsettling effect on foreign bonds.
 Widening inquiry for the low priced railroad issues led to several brisk ral- lies in this group, although the high grade descriptions on the whole made better progress. Reports that the Chi cago and Alton reorganization plan would be completed constributed to a 2-point gain in the roads 315s St. Paul, Erie and New Haven liens were active and higher,
 Wilson and company convertible is- sues developed fresh weakness today on reports that they would be subject to exchange under the companies refinanc- ing plans losses ranged from ? to 312 points.
 Early financing will include a loan 9f about $12,00O,O00 for the Industrial Mortgage bank of Finland Bankers said no plans had been completed for the sale of bond issues aggregating about $20000,000 for which the/P sylvania railroad made application to the interstate commerce commission. The financing, it was the belief, was being done for subsidiary lines.

GRAIN LETTER

CHICAGO, July S.-The wheat mar ket was again depressed under the in fluence of reported rain in the Cana dian northwest and liberal movement of winter wheat in the southwest. The weather map showed good rains all through the southern portions of Mani toha and Alberta. Winnipeg was weak CT and Liverpool opened i to 1A low CT, but strengthened, closing only % to 4 lower. Corn; Strength in cash mar ket and reports of cool and wet weather in the corn belt gave strength to the futures market. Buying was mostly in small lots and selling largely in the way of profit-taking. No. 2 yellow sold $1.03, new high for the season. The movement is moderate and country offerings are said to be light. Oats: Prices made little change. Sentiment was mixed. There was selling by cash and commission houses early, but other commission houses took the offerings, which gave fair support to the market.

CORN DEMAND
 LEADS TO RISE July Smashes Seasons Top Record, As Does
 No. 2 Yellow

CHICAGO, July S.-Broad active de- mand for corn today, both for i'm mediate and future delivery, led to a sharp new advance in price. July corn smashed the seasons top record and No. 2 yellow here commanded $1.03 a bushel, likewise new high record. The corn market closed strong 1N O 1Bc net higher, July 9S%c. In wheat the finish was unsettled A@1Ac down with oats A@9sc to 5se up and pro- visions varying from unchanged fig ures to 7c advance.
 Scarcity of receipts with unwelcome showers and relatively low tempera- lures had much to do with the eager buying that sprang up in the corn mar ket. Besides, Texas reported crop dam age in some sections, and the fact that the government crop report was due after the close tomorrow seemed to op- crate as an additional stimulus. Sales came almost entirely from holders who wished to realize profits, and the close was at the highest point of the day. Shipping business from here. was the iliveliest witnessed in long while.
 Wheat values were bearishly affected by increased movement of new wheat in the southwest and consequent hedg- ing sales as well as by rains in Can ada. Black rust reports from Minne- sota and word of damage by hot winds in the Pacific northwest gave the mar. ket good rally at one time, but the effect failed. to last, despite evidence that foreigners were purchasing rather freely. Most traders inclined to an nx1sr1sara hot khn Ant fS- morrow would prove bearish.
 Complaints of smut and blight had some bullish influence on the oats mar. ket.

NEW ORLEANs COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, July s.-The cotton market developed unexpected strength today because of continued heavy rains in the eastern belt and claims that the crop in that section was being dam aged.
 Liverpool also was better than expect ed and was reported to be a free buy CT in American markets Of forward de- liveries of new crop. The trading was confined mainly to October and De- cember. July developed little interest until the middle of the morning, when 1t traded up to 26.90c, or 30 points net higher. It lost all of this later, closing unchanged. October was F points up at the start and advanced to 23.61c, or 67 points net higher; December ad- Vanced from 2S.0Sc at the start, 16 points above yesterdays close, to 23.4Sc, or 56 points net higher The market eased off in the late trading on realizing, and the close showed net gains of 32 to 3S points on active new-crop months.
 Since The. publication of the gove4h- ment report week ago. the trade has paid little attention to the constant rains in the eastern belt, but. today, showed pool was attributed to them. The daily weather report also showed that rains of one to four inches had fallen in Geor- gia and the Carolinas, and the official forecast was for more. The forecast in- dicated increasing cloudiness with prob- ability of rains in northern Texas.

weeks in Georgia are unquestionably laying the foundation for the spread of the boil weevil in that territory. and it must not be forgotten that it Is the eggs laid by the, boil weevil in early July which do serious damage to tpe crop in August. While there has not been a good volume of business put over, there Is, nevertheless, indication of a better feeling in the dry goods market and moro disposition to do bust ness on tHe present basis. The mar ket acts as though the effect of the high government report of July has been expanded: and, if we get any un- favorable weather in the western belt, a sharp recover could be expected.

NEW YORK, July s.-Most of todays rally in the cotton market was due to technical conditions, as traders had sold freely since the government report, with the trade apparently taking many of the contracts. Then there was a lit- tie buying on the fear that the rains in Georgia and some other sections of the eastern belt would continue. The trading was not large, but buying or- ders found little for sale. The weather map was regarded as favorable except for Georgia. There was no particular news aside from the weather advices.
