By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The gen.
eral level of bonds advanced
slightly today as gains, running as
much as two points in some in
stances, overbalanced fractional
losses.
Trading was in fairly good volume
throughout the day although,
toward the close, some sections of
the list had little play
Many of the priced rails, af-
ter an easy opening, turned higher
as the session progressed, apparently
under the urge of continued good
earnings prospects. Some utilities
also improved.
Among the more active advancers
were Commercial Mackay incomes

As of '88, St. Paul 5s, Allegheny
Stamped 5s of so, Portland General
Electric 4l2s, International Tele-
phone 5s. Great Northern "G" Is of

Among the foreign government

were the best performers, while most
of the list was ignored.

was little action in Federals on the

Service estimated today that the
commercial apple crop in Virginia
this year would total IL 800 900 bush

1910 crop and 20 per cent larger

The crop showed considerable i'm
provement during July, the Federal

unusually clean.
There is heavy set of peaches in
all sections of the State. with the

compared with 1,39200O bushels in
1910 and the 10-year average of 902,-

raised in Virginia, started in the
Roanoke section about August and

better tha nexpected and the fore
cast was boosted to 100000 bushels.
or $50 bushels per acre, against 15.5
bushels a year ago.

gust l at 26.0 bushels as compared

Civilian Users
OF Steel Face
Big Problem
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 13.- Daily
Metal Trade said today operations
of civilian goods producers may be
largely dependent on day-to-day
supplies in the not distant future
because of establishment of full
priority control over steel production
effective September l.
Manufacturers of non-defense
goods are confronted with a raw
material supply situation which may
tax their ingenuity to the utmost"
the trade publication declared.
Protective orders placed in the re-
cent past will mean little since the
priority regulations give uncom-
promising precedence to defense
business.
"Rationing of steel supply, of
course, will knock out buying for in
ventory. But this should serve to
rationalize distribution to the end
that all defense and essential civilian
requirements can be cared for
promptly and adequately. In fact,
there is reason to feel that once
efficient distribution has been
effected there will be found to be
surplus, rather than a shortage of

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-Cotton
futures forged ahead more than 81
a bale today on active buying by
mill and trade interests. The
liquidated position of the market
after the recent decline resulted in
a scarcity of contracts and was an
important factor in the advance.
Sentiment seemed to veer toward
the possible passage of the cotton
freezing bill in Washington and this
encouraged considerable replace
ment buying.
Late afternoon values were 35 to
AZ points higher, October, 1903;
December, 1928, and May, 1888.
Cotton futures closed at the top
