NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 26.-The cotton market developed a rather firmer tone today and prices at the highest of the morning showed net gains of fully S2.50.
 There were some recession from the highs of the day, particularly in the afternoon on private reports of rains in Texas, but the recession attracted fresh buying and prices rallied almost to the earlier highs. Liverpool came in better than due and first trades showed gains of IA to g points.
 During the last part of the morning prices eased off on reports of rains in west Texas, October dropping to 23.70c and December to 23.S0c, or 37 to 42 points down from the high. The market only to ease off again in the afternoon, the close showing net gains for the day of to 46 points.
 The main stimulating influence was the number of reports of deterioration to the crop emmanating not only from Texas and Oklahoma, but also from Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. Even Georgia and, the Carolinas sent unfavorable reports. As result shorts showed considerable desire to cover and the market also encountered good trade support on the breaks. Monday was the hottest day of the porting temperatures of 100 to 112. The tropical storm moved northward away from contact with the cotton belt, hav- Ing brought nothing more serious than heavy costal rains in the Carolinas. :. ssEw ORLEANS, COTTON k NEW ORLEANS August 26.--Cotton futures 0f h 4 Oafr '

LIBERTIES JOIN IN DOWNTURN Bonds Reactionary With Trading Dull And
 Changes Marrow


 NEW YORK, Aug. 26.--Reactionary tendencies agataf fipfedomfnated in to4 days bond market with Liberty bonds foreign obligations and railroad issues participating in the downward meve- ment. Trading was dull with price fluc- tuations mainly confined to narrow limits.
 Conflicting movements featured deals ings in the Wilson G Go. issues, which attracted considerable trading, in view of the receivership proceedings against the company. The convertible 6s and 7Hs recovered almost points of yes4 terday's sharp break as selling pressure was diverted to the first es, which fell back 2M.
 Reports that the French government might float another external loan later in the year had depressing influence on French bonds, but failed to bring about serious liquidation. The Repuba, lican 7hs and ss were heavy and sev- eral of the municipal issues averaged losses of about a point. Belgian and Serbian obligations also lost ground.
 Continued liquidation for banking ace counts was reflected in declining prices for investment securities, including Liberty and high-grade railroad issues. Heavier commercial demands, 1t was inc dicated, were causing banks to shift their capital into other channels.
 An offering of $12, 800 900 Pacific Gas and Electric 5h per cent bonds today was being subscribed. Local lbankerD were said to be figuring on $15, 5,000, ,00O issue for the Dominion Coal company of Canada, a subsidiary of the British Empire Steel corporation.

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Wheat declined about 4c. Bearish sentiment was prob ably due mostly to a report by the Winnipeg Free Press giving estimates of yield per acre, which Is applied to the government acreage figures would indicate more than 350000,000 bushels, or nearly 100,O00,000 bushels more than many estimates prevailing several weeks ago. The accuracy of the fig ures has been questioned but their in fuence was marked. Broomhall's crop cable was buIlish, exporters were after cash wheat but less active in their bid ding. Receipts of winter whea: are diminishing, although still liberal. Corn, active and about to 1hc higher. Bull fish crop reports were received, espe- cially from Nebraska, of the crop suf- fering from hot dry weather. Commis- sion buying was active at present level of prices, market is two-sided, favor able for scalping operations. Oats, prices had an upward trend for a time, in sympathy with advance of corn, but closed without much change. Weather was mora favorable for threshing.-H. 6 B. Beer to J. FSeWillingham 6 Co.

COTTON REGAINS
 LOSSES IN PART
Offerings Are Lighter As Buying Resumes On
 Small Scale

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Part of yes- terday's severe losses were recovered in the cotton market today. Offerings were decidedly lighter, while there ap- peared to be some buying on more nu- merous complaints of drought damage to the southwestern crop. December worked. up to 24.4Sc in the late trading, or 46 points net higher, and 78 points above the low level touched on yester- days big break, closing at 24.45c. The general market closed firm at net ad- vances of ST to 4s points.
 The opening was firm at a decline of 5 points on September, but generally 13 to 21 points higher, because of rela- Texas crop complaints. Some cotton was sold on indications that the tropical tsorrn would not strike into the cotton belt in way to cause damage. A little selling which during midday was based on reports of showers in central Texas. It appeared doubtful, however, whether these showers were sufficient to relieve droughty conditions, and the afternoon buying was promoted by reports of a better demand from Liverpool and do- mestic spinners for forward deliveries.
 October sold up to 24.93c and January to 2445c, making the net advances of 40 to 51 points on the active positions. the best Reports of better spot de- mand came from New Orleans, Memphis and some of the southwestern markets and may have had some sentimental influence, but the bulk of the buying here was attributed to covering by shorts.
 Liverpool cables reported a small market, with prices higher on the Texas drought complaints and a fair spot de- mand. Exports today, 4,5O0 bales, mak- ing 105,7 ,770 so far this season. Port re- ceipts, q ,0s3. United States port stocks, 194, ,S13.

WHEAT CRASHES
 TO NEW LOWS
Downturn Due To Esti- mates Of 4OO,OOO,OOO
 Bushel Canadian Crop

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.--Tmprovement of crop prospects in Canada brought about free selling of wheat here today and prices dropped to new low on the present downturn. At the finish wheat was to 4A off, with September, $1.200120%, and December, $1.25@ 1.25h; corn rose, 1 to 2c; oats aver aged from hc lower and provisions was same as yesterday at 12skc higher.
 A report to. the Winnipeg Free Press suggesting yield of 2S4 4,000,0 900 bushels of wheat for the three provinces, which, with the eastern provinces would make more than 400, 100000 bushels for the country. was responsible for the sud- den downturn in the wheat market here toward the finish. Previously the mar ket was inclined to rally from it's early weakness, when buyers became. active on the downturn. Initial declines were attributed to the easier tone at Win nipeg, the break in Liverpool and re- ports that export business were greatly exaggerated. Houses with northwest connections were moderate sellers as the result of the bearish Canadian news, cash interests, particularly those with expert connections, absorbing these offerings.
 7 Improved investment buying induced receipt of unfavorable weather reports relative to the condition of the corn crop brought about sharp upturn in the value of corn. Nebraska reported a heat. wave and need of rain, South Dakota told of the unlikelihood of corn maturing, while central portions of. the belt showed no material improvement under favorable weather.
 Oats encountered a good class of house buying, being influ- enced largely, by the action of corn.
 Provisions were firmer on scattered buying.

SELLING SLOWS
 STOCK TRADING
Early Firmness Lost As i" Longs Fail To Fol
 low Up Advance

NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Short cover ing operations imparted a firm tone to opening prices in today's stock market, but the failure of speculators on the long side to follow up the advance led to renewal of selling pressure, leav- Ing the closing quotations decidedly irregular. Business was in reduced vol tune, total sales of less than 675, 900 shares being the lowest in about a month. -t
 s,sSelling pressure was directed largely against specialties, which have been the subject of unfavorable rumors. Some of the most active selling took place in such issues as Chandler Motors, Fa- Cuyamel Fruit; Kresge Department Stores and National Enameling, which showed. net declines of 1 to 3h points.
 Standard industrials showed mixed changes on the day. United States Steel closed a quarter higher at 10SB after having touched 109h American Can touched 134A and then dropped to 1S3k, up E. Baldwin and Studebaker showed small fractional recessions. Chairman Gary's announcement that the improvement in the steel trade in the last few months had exceeded his expectations was not made until after the market closed. ,s Railroad shares showed mixed changes.

'Nickel Plate" issues improved fractionally in reflection of the acceptances of the proposed merger terms by the Erie di- rectors. Most of the anthracite carriers responded favorably to reports of in- creased July earnings.
 International railways of Central America touched a new top at Is, buy ing apparently being influenced by re- ports that the floating supply in Lon don had been substantially reduced by the purchases of American investors. q Active selling of Congoleum, which the announcement of new stock offer ing. Weakness of Chandler was again associated with unfavorable dividend rumors. Public utilities showed good gains during the early trading, but they reacted with the rest of the list later.

Jordan Mo tors and Fleischmann also sold at their best prices of the year.

 Trading in the foreign exchanges was light, but the principal rates held firm. Demand sterling was quoted around $4.4Sh, and French francs ruled around $40 cents. Other European currencies showed only nominal changes.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, August 26.-we had comparatively quiet market today. There was material reduction in the volume of public business. The market was more professional than at any time in two months. The unfavorable results of highly excited markets Is the tendency to lose sight of the individual company, its position, its management and financial strength. A very -imv portant advance in Colorado Fuel and Iron occurred on the prospect of oil developments on it's property, while companies were neglected who were al- ready in possession of large oil prop critics, stocks of oil and facilities for selling at distributing points. At this time an important element must be taken into consideration in passing judgment on the market. Up to the present time there has been nothing very exciting in connection with the campaign, but we are now rapidly ap- preaching thegdate when the campaign will be more of factor and act as a restraint on investment; and it is quite likely that for short while the market will continue in it's present un- settled state.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-special stocks were under considerable pressure throughout today's market, but profess sional attempts to spread reaction through the entire list were without avail Chandler broke to fl, off more than 10 point$ from its recent high, and International Paper, New Haven and Famous-P1ayers were also distinct ly weak. On sthe whole, leaders like Steel, General Electric and American Can displayed impressive resistance around previous closing levels. 4 strong upward trend in the better grade Of coppers, many favorable July earnings statements by leading railroad systems, such as Union Pacific, Illinois Central, Lehigh Valley, were the outstanding news developments of a market session which was for the most part dull and featureless.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
