Sessions End
By the Associated Press.

by the hESOClAteO PreSS.
NEW YORK. July 20.-A steady
trickle of hedging sales wore away
prices in the cotton futures market
today. Final losses of l to 5 points
put the list at the lows for the week.
Selling was encouraged by a lower
trend at Bombay and a less unfavor-
able view of crop weather conditions.
Hedging was said to be against both
foreign and domestic growths.
Principal support came in trade
buying on the way down. While
spasmodic activity developed, deal
ers reported turnover subnormal.
Most traders took the view that
the future course of events abroad
was too obscure to allow broad
scale speculative interest.
Worth Street cloth business was
small and brokers were disappointed
at the smallness of the weeks turn
over. Prices, however, held steady.

CHICAGO, July 20.-Wheat lost

with fractional declines today in a
market dominated by quiet selling
based on reports of scattered rains
over the grain belt.
Although the heat wave fingered,
causing experts to fear for crops in
some areas missed by recent rains,
the general feeling was that con-
ditions can be maintained in most
regions if showery weather contin-
ues. This. in effect. was promised
by the forecast which suggested
cooler weather in parts of the North
west and West with some showers
in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and Iowa.
Hedging pressure. though light,
and some selling of July contracts
also depressed wheat. Prices finished

WHAT STOCKS DID.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, July 20.-The stock
market muddled through another
lackadaisical session today and fin-
ished the week with an irregularly
lower trend.
Price changes, however, were in
consequential for the most part and
were rendered more or less mean
ingless by the fact that the turn
over was the smallest for any Sat-
urday in more than two years.
Brokers again attributed apathy
mainly to the desire of speculative
forces to keep fairly well in the
clear pending further European war
developments, particularly a posi-
BILE attempt of Hitler to make good
his latest threat to destroy Eng
land If the British refuse to make
peace.
The business outlook remained as
moderate market prop, although
there was talk here and there of a
nearby let-down as a prelude to
the broadening of defense SPEND
ing. Foreign affairs, on the whole,
tended to obscure the political scene
at home. with Wall Street inclined
to withhold definite opinions on the
presidential race until the campaign
gets farther along.

shares against $4,000 week ago.
The big news of the week-renom-
ination of President Roosevelt and
selection Of Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace as his running mate
scarcely made a ripple on the sur
face of markets. Brokers said all
this had been in line with Wall
Street predictions. Hitler's Reich

touch off any real excitement.
Stocks edged forward Monday,
with volume hitting a b0ttom for

The recovery was attributed largely
