COTTON GOES HIGHER
ON CROP ADvICES
Early Reaction Followed by AID.
vance Due to Weevil and
Condition Reports.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 6.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an adj
vance of II to 25 points on overnight
buying orders brought in by the firm
ness yesterday and additional buying
stimulated by relatively firm Liverpool
cables or complaints of dry hot weather
in some parts of the Southwest.
October contracts sold up to 2265, but
there was heavy realizing at this figure,
and the market eased off 10 or Is points
from the best before the end of the
first hour.
A private acreage report which was
said to indicate an increase Of 81 per
cent probably induced profit taking on
long cotton and tended to increase I'M
certainty as to the probable showing of
the Government report, expected on
Monday
Private cables said the advance in
Liverpool was due to local and Bombay
buying, combined with covering and
trade calling. but that cloth buyers were
cautious and yarn production was be-
ing curtailed
The early reaction was followed by
other boil weevil infestation and un-
favorable private crop advices. Brokers
with Southwestern and Wall Street con-
nections were among the buyers on the
advance, which carried the price of
October contracts up to 22.80, or 81
points net higher and within points
OF the best price touched on the adj
| vance late last week. Increased realiz-
, ing was encountered at this figure,
however, and the market at midday was
less active at reactions of 10 or Is
points from the best.

BOND LIST STEADY

Price Changes Fractional.
Call Money Reduction Has
Little Effect.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 6.--Reduction of
the renewal rate on call money failed
to stimulate the buying of bonds. The
market was steady today, but the turn
over was small and price fluctuations
except for few speculative issues con-
fined to fractions.
With regard to the new Government
financing, there was some revision of
opinion. On Thursday there had been
animated demand for the third Az
liberties on their attractiveness for ex-
change purposes. The buying was so
urgent that the price was lifted to a
new high for the year. Today. however
offerings increased and the quotation
slipped off. The market was paving
more attention to the falling off in tho
reserve ratio of the Federal Reserve
Bank than to the immediate level of
call money. The first and fourth Lib
erty las were moderately higher, but
the old Treasury 33ss sold down along
with the Liberty third Abs.

"Churches make a great error

purely political organization ana
churches should have nothing to
do with it.
"The churches leave their proper
