DROP FOLLOWS
 RISE IN COTTON Losses Partially Recov- cred And Market
 Closes Steady

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-An early ad- vance in cotton today was followed by reactions on reports of better prospects for a break in the southwestern drought, but the losses were partly re- covered and the market closed steady, with prices net 14 points higher to 4 points lower October sold off from 27.72c to 2T.05c and closed at 27.40c.
 The opening was firm at an advance of 12 to 2S points in response to higher foreign exchange rates, steady Liverpool cables and the failure of early weather reports to show any rainfall of conse- quence in Texas. Active months sold about 30 to 46 points net higher during the early trading, with December ad- vancing to 2715c on covering and a little trade buying; but as soon as this early demand had been supplied prices turned easier on reports of rains in Oklahoma, with showers at a few points in Texas and prospects for further showers in that quarter. For a time the market was rather weak and un- settled under liquidation of local and southern selling, with December easing off to 26.52c, or 30 points net lower. The detailed weather reports, however, showed less precipitation than expect ed in the southwest, while 1t was con- sidered doubtful whether the showers predicted would prove adequate, and there were recoveries of some 25 to 40 points from, the lowest in the later trading. The advance in foreign ex- change was regarded as reflecting pros- poets for a settlement of reparations; and this, combined with the uncertainty of complete relief from southwestern drought, seemed responsible for the ad- vance.
 Exports today were 6,991 bales, mak- ing &, ,792 bales so far this season { Port receipts, 2,252 bales. United States port stocks, 21S, ,446 bales.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The market today was very largely made up of sensational advances in a number of railroads and speciality issues. Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Illinois Cen tral, L. & N., Atlantic Coast Line and New York Central were among the lead CTS and for the most part registered new high quotations for 1924. St. Paul was strong on reports of a very much better showing in the July report soon to be issued. The coppers were also moderately active on a slight advance in the price of metal, and offerings in Kennecott were exceptionally well taken around the 4S level. The close was almost buoyant, with very few exceptions, and the speculative fraternity are confi- dently looking forward to further ad- vancss in their favorite issues later in the week.-Fenner G Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

FOREIGN BONDS
STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The stock market today displayed the same characteristics as 1t did the greater part of last week. On the bulges, in dustrial list offerings increased, while in the railroad list the demand con- tinues at the market for all classes of issues. This is very logical pro- cedure in view of conditions that pre- vail in the respective departments of the market. It is, of course, well known that the advance in the industrial is- sues was to a large extent based on hope and anticipation of a speedy re- viVal in general business, and the ad- vance was facilitated by the abundant supply of low-priced money. The rail list has been forward, being because of a development of plans for regrouping the merging of the railroads of the country.-John F. Clark & Co.

Four Leading Ladies' in
1.-The Ten Commandments. >

Cecil B. De Miles new production.
THE Ten COMMANDMENTS which is
to have its premier At the National
Theatre, Washington, beginning Mon
day evening, September 18th, shows a
great cast OF some Of the best actors In
speakies or movies, and an interesting
peculiarly OF it is that there are NO
less than four leading women Leaf
rice Joy, Nita Nhldi, Agnes Ayres
and Estelle Taylor.
Miss Estelle Taylor is the feminine
protagonist OF the first or Biblical
part, in the role of Miriam opposite
the Moses of Theodore Roberts. Then
comes Miss Joy as the girl in the mod.
ern story loved by two brothers acted
By Rod La ROGUE and Richard Dix
respectively. OF quite equal impor-
lance is the Franco-Chinese charmer,
Sally Lung. providing Nita Naldi with
an opportunity for Oriental vile and
passion. Lastly, in cut-in New Tes-
lament sequence, appears Agnes Ayres
as the distract girl who brings her
trouble to the Divine Healer.
