COTTON DEMAND
 SUSTANS CLIMB
Nervousness Over Crop Continues In New
 York Market

NEW YORK, July 17.-Continued nervousness over crop prospects, com bined with reports of a better demand for cotton goods, led to increase. ac- tivity and strength in today's cotton market. The advance was led by July contracts, which sold up to 31.45, or 1O5 points net higher on comparative ly light demand. General buying of new crop months sent Oct Der up to 26.60, or 82 points net higher. The cit :e was very steady at net advances of 47 to 95 points.
 The market was firm from the start. First prices were 13 to 2G points higher on the steady showing of Liverpool, reports of a firmer tone in the goods market and continued high tempera- lures in the southwest. Three of the private mid-month crop reports were published, all of which indicated less favorable progress than forecast a few days ago. The condition figures ranged from 70.S to TIA and the indicated crops from 12,273,000f up to 12,440, 900 bales, whereas many traders had been talking crop of around F, 750, 900 bales toward the end of last week.
 The eastern belt forecast for fair weather in Georgia and the Carolinas was followed by slight reactions around midday, but the market quickly firmed up again on the detailed weather re- ports showing continued heat with even higher temperatures in the southwest. July shorts evidently found very few contracts for sale at anything less than 300 points over October, notwithstand- ing further arrivals here for delivery, and the strength of the near naturally contributed to the advance in the later deliveries Last prices were few points off from the best under realizing,

CURB RALLY ENDS FLUCTUATING DAY Prices Conflict But Main
 Trend Is Up-
 ward

NEW YORK, July 17.-Conflicdng price movements took place in today's curb market, but the main trend was upward at the close.
 Heavy selling of the oil shares early sent Prairie Oil and Gas down to a new low for the year at 194 1-2, but it rallied later to POP 1-2 for a net gain of more than six points. Other oils moved in sympathy.
 Activity of LeHigh Valley Coal cer- tificates, which closed slightly higher at B 3-4 on transactions totalling 16,000 shares, and the establishment of a new high record by Hudson and Manhattan Railroad and Hudson Company pre- ferred, reatured the industrial list. Ward Baking issues were strong and Dubilier Radio touched a new top at AS.

WHEAT CONTINUES. TO SET RECORDS
Canadian Reports Of Crop Curtailment
 Boosts Prices 7.

: CHICAGO, July 17.-Estimates that the Canadian wheat crop had been cur tailed 200,OOO,OOO to 250,O00,OO0 bush els led to further price record-breaking here today. All deliveries of wheat and rye reached new top for the season. Wheat closed nervous at Pc to 4c net advance, with corn 1%c to 415c up, oats showing %c to 1Ac. gain, and pro- visions higher by 20 to 47 cents.
 In the face of immense sales to real ize profits, the wheat market here finished at the best prices of the day and year. Considerable wavering had taken place at first owing to uncer- tainty over the effects of rains in Can ada, but the market soon began to soar when it was seen that Winnipeg quotations were up and that reports from Canada were continuing to pour in telling of severe crop damage. A large territory surrounding Saskatoon were said to have suffered virtually complete failure of wheat production, and farmers there were said to be turning their cattle into the fields :.
 iChlSAOh Ol lIc SuEICHI cStl~ mates of the worlds exportable sur plus of wheat were looked for as result of today's figures from Canada. The reduction for the three Prairie provinces was in comparison with the 1924 yield. Temporarily, the late up- ward swing of the wheat market, how ever, was interrupted by the closing out of big spread trade between wheat and corn, the corn being bought and the wheat sold. When this operation was completed, wheat values again shot upward just before the close.
 Except September delivery, corn as we'll as other cereals over-topped the seasons high price record. Receipts were abnormally meager, temperature too cool, and crop reports unfavorable, in oats. the Canadian news was again the factor.
 All provisions made fresh high price records for 1924, stimulated by the ascent of grain and hogs.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 NEW ORLEANS, Ju1v 17.-The cot ton market today was active; and, aside from a moderate decline in the early trading on improved weather In the eastern belt, the trend of prices was upward. Although July was compara- lively inactive locally, it advanced sud denly to 2S.10c near mid-session, or 70 points over the previous close, in sym pathy with the jump of 100 points in New York, where shorts apparently are experiencing something of a squeeze. October advanced from 2492c, the low point of the morning, to 25.77e, or S5 points up, while December advanced from 24.77c >to 25.60c, or S3 points up. The high points of the day on new crop movements were reached in the final trading and the close showed net gains for the day of 65 points on July and 75 to 76 points on inew-crop months.
 As Liverpool was much better than due at the time of the opening here, the market scored an advance of 27 to 28 points in the early trading, but lost all the gain when the weather map was published showing practically no rain in the eastern belt. Later in the morning evidences that the July shorts in New York were being subjected to pressure and a report from Oklahoma City stating that the official record for yesterday showed that 25 out of 2s stations in that state experienced maxi mum temperatures of 100 to 1O6 degrees caused shorts to cover freely. and a good amount of outside buying was induced by fears that the crop in the west is being injured by the heat and drouth. The Texas temperature record for yesterday showed that at 23 stations out of 3s maximum temperatures reached 100 to 104 degrees.
 The bullish tone was added to by FNTtNy fn afh ports, two of which made the condition TIA, with an indicated crop of IF, 400, 900 bales, and the third made the condition 70.S. These condition averages were somewhat lower than expected. Ex- ports for the day were fairly liberal, being 11,730 bales, of which New Or leans contributed 9;365 bales.

NEW YORK, July 1I--strength and
 activity of the low priced western rails Ewas the outstanding feature of today's irregular stock market. Industrials at first showed the effects of profit taking
 and bear selling but developed firmer

 Rails bounded upward under the lead
 ership of the Rock Island issues, the

 Fresh selling developed in the steel shares on the publication of a relative ly. poor quarterly earnings report by Re- public, but all made moderate recovery and net losses were limited to fractions.
