nv Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, July 22.-The very
best the cotton plant could have
done this month would be to hold
its own. There has been no prog
reSS.
1t must have suffered in many 10
calities, yet the south is only lukC-
warm to bulling prices. Some say
crop damage is offset by hot wealth
er killing the boil weevils.
In way it is foolish to get ex-
cited about the value of another
mans property when he doesn't
think I4ach of it.
Still, without a good rain its on
the cards for the government to put
out sensationally bullish report
early in August.

Average Of thirty industrisls for Mon

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July 22.-Bettfr
demand was encountered by stocks
in the late morning following a de-
crease of the selling pressure which
caused sharp recessions in the list
Monday and again at the opening
today.
Early fractional losses we're re-
covered and small gains substituted
by noon in continued quiet deal
ings. Little enthusiasm was dis
played on the upside, however, and
most observers we're inclined to at
tribute the improvement to short
covering rather than to any outside
influence. Mondays declines in
both wheat and cotton stimulated
support in these commodities.
Case Moves Up
Gains in stocks ranged from
fraction to 5 points around noon
with J. 1. Case showing the maxi
mum improvement following its
1914 loss of the previous session.
Steel common, General Motors,
General Electric and National Cash
Register all made gains of nearly a
point. Dealings in Vanadium and
Auburn continued to feature the
market, the former rising nearly 3
points to 96A and Auburn rising
3 points to 22115 after selling of to
2l6 at the opening. American Can
recovered more than half of its 5
point loss Of the preceding session.
Radio a Feature
Westinghouse Electric and Radio
we're other features of the recovery.
The former rose a point over it pre-
vious level after sagging nearly two
points at the opening on publica-
ton of its unfavorable first half
earning report. Radio added more
than a point after touching new
low on the movement at the open
ing.
Motors developed better tone
following weakness at the openinS.
Resumption of pool activities in
General Motors carried the issIp
nearly a point higher. Firmness in
utilities was fostered by strength in
Consolidated Gas, which gained
more than two points.
