COTTON PRICES RISE
AND THEN TURN DOWN
Advance Into New High Ground
for Season Followed by
Proft.Taking.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 29.-The cotton
market opened steady today at q de-
cline of 3 points to an advance Of
points.
Orders seemed we'll divided at the
start, but active demand from Wall
Street and commission houses sent
prices up after the opening, October
advancing to 22.87, or Is points net
higher, and into new high ground for
the season.
This further advance attracted in
creased realizing, and the market lost
its gains, October selling off to r22.63
and the general list ruling about net
unchanged at the end of the first hour
Early buying was attributed to a con-
tinuance of unfavorable weather and
crop advices, while the tendency to
take profits on long cotton was In
creased by relatively easy Liverpool
cables.
The decline from the early advance
carried the market off to 2259 for Oc-
tober, or about 10 points net lower dur
ing the forenoon. A private report es-
timating the condition of the crop at
68.7. against 1857 last year, and point
ing to an increase of 5 per cent in acre
age came in for bullish comment, but
seemed to have been discounted. The
decline, however. was checked by cover
ing or a renewal of demand, and the
market was steadier toward noon. AT
midday October was selling around
2271, with the active months ruling
net points lower to points higher.

MONEY RATE BOOST
HALTS BULL MOVE
Little Pressure to Liquidate
Comes After Raise to 8
Per Cent
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 29.-An advance
in the rate for call money to 8 per
cent checked temporarily rise in to-
days stock market Earlier in the Ses-
sion sweeping gains had been recorded
by industrial specialties, with the whole
list presenting a strong appearance.
The jump in money from a renewal
rate of 713 per cent to what was the
highest since June 2, 1921, moderated
to enthusiasm Some stocks came
down from their best, but there was no
pressure to liquidate.
In many respects the market was
reminiscent of that of early May. To
take only few examples, du Pont
recorded a gain of more than IL points
before the session was two hours old,
Radio had gone up over 10 points,
Wright Aeronautical was selling more
than Z points above the preceding close.
Curtiss more than points above where
left off on the day before and similarly,
General Motors, above 100, was up some
4 points.
Better Technical Position.
Casting about for an explanation,
there was no more reasonable one than
an improved technical position. An
effort was made to give the credit to
the reduction in brokers loans on the
ground that it was larger than had
been anticipated. but this left out OF
consideration falling off in the re-
serve rate of the Federal Reserve banks
which was fully as important Nor
was there anything in the industrial
or business outlook to warrant en-
thusiasm. The ne per cent renewal
rate was somewhat of surprise a1ter
new loans had been arranged at
per cent on Thursday, but that was
ignored also.
with one striking exception the rails
were neglected. That exception was
Texas a. Pacific. which advanced
point between sales until at 159 it was
IN points and at a record high for
all time. Among the industrials the
steels were laggards, but otherwise
higher prices were a rule, with the
motor shares claiming large proper
ton of attention.
Demand for Oil Shares.
One or two of the oil stocks were in
urgent demand The feature was At
lantic Refining. at the highest In f1Ve
wears, as it sold around 14l. General
Asnhalt moved up steadily for s.
point gain as 1t touched II. The vola-
tile American Republics lived up to its
reputation. At one time 1t had gained
4 points on the day.
The copper shares we're quietly strong.
The most conspicuous were Cerro de
Pasco. Greene Cananea and American
Smelling e. Refining. OF the independ-
ent motors the largest advances were
those in Hudson, Hupp Chrysler and
Nashs There seemed to be special buy
ing of Stewart Warner.
