("By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, ?;,?. 7.?The recent dis?
position to refrain from .-,?..r.i?HTg"""lrr?
stocks and to await u clearer develop?
ment of the prospect was reinforced to?
day by th extreme heat, which reached
;< level u,,i .? ?ii? prostration on the lloor
?d the ex.hang.?. With the exception ot
the occasional execution o? orders in a
few stocks where special c-auses were at
work, the list was almost v.holly ??g
lected. During the early part oi the day
some considerable declines were esiai?
Hsued, but wht-ii the room traders came
1.? close up their contracts the losses
wer? In large ?.art wiped out. She most
conspicuous Individual ?wViement was iu
United Staus Rubber, which jump.u %
irt.m die early low point not long before
the close. Punishment was visited a"" a
resuli upon the short int.-re.--t. which
rushed io cover, making some show of
animation in stinks.
Northern Pacific's ?arge increase in
earnings for the fourth week in July
brought realizing, and the Grangers were
heavy on th<? Weather Bureau's weekly
crop report, showing need of rain in the
corn belt. Tin? steel stocks sagge?? on the
further reduction in the price of iron
warrants. Some of the recently inactive
.-?????i;:; showed Wide declines, including
Chicago Great Western. Lake Erie and
Western; towa Central and the local trac?
tion sto.Us.
Some "?ii??.' early selling was based on
ili.- beginning of the gold export move?
ment. Engagements amounted to only
??bout .^.."?("'."??, whereas ihe estimates
yesterday pointed to $4???,?50? or up?
wards. Reports from L?jndon w<;re that
the Bank of England was now giving
special facilities' 10 attract gold from
New York. Otherwise it is not probable
that gold would have gone out at to
day's Jigur? for sterling. The rate lor de?
mand su-rling fell back a fraction as a
result of Sides of bills against gol?! ex?
ports. It is ;ui!K?me<-d, however, that
more gold wiil go out Thursday. To?
day's BhipiiK'nts aa-e supposed t<.> have
been to cover the required deposit of 5
per cent, accompanying applicali.ms for
th?.j British war loan, '.'old continues to
Hccumulau? In .New York on payments
by the Sub-Trcasaiy lo lb?? banks of
v.rufts on account nf ihe gold deposited
at Pacific points. The bank* have gained
irom Uie Sub.-Tres-sur.v since . Friday
?riCS2,O0(* on this aoeount
Tlie money market. 1?. therefore, little
affected by the gold exports' Th?? Boudon
money market must make provision ihis
week, not only for ff?OQ^JOO of the dtsposit
with subscriptions to the new war ?.?.in,
but must provide al.'*o ?200.000 insialm.'iit
On the former or JbJiaKi loan. Whether
th.- Bank of Englaiad can avoid an in?
crease in ile discount rate this week is
a matter of int ores<>??] conjecture in its

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. Aug. ?.????????The
market for totton futures starte^ barely
steady in tone, with prices 1 to 3 ??[?*;"
higher on near months, and 2 to 4 polnt3
lower on far months. Bare supremacy
soon asserted itself after the call anil
under fairly active selling for both ac?
counts prices crumbled quite sharply
The late cables from abroad were un?
friendly, nearly all information from the
cotton territory was optimistic concern?
ing the crop development, while from
consuming centres the news was pessi?
mistic In the extreme*. By midday the
uneasiness of shorts began to show plain?
ly, while before 1 P. M. smaller bears
were in full retreat. The official crop
summary from Washington proved to be
quite a surprise, in that it showed more
promising conditions hi Georgia, Florida
and Louisiana than expected, where
shedding, rust and premature opening
were complained of. The crop in Texas
was reported two to three weeks late,
with rank growth; shedding and insect
damage reported in the southern portion
of the State. Elsewhere the crop was re?
torted generally improved. The effect of
?his news upon the market was instan?
taneous, though fully half an hour passed
tefore the buying movement reached its
eight. Prices advanced rapidly and ex?
tensively, with the winter months ?how?
ttig the degrees of strength. As against
?.99 in the morning, October advanced to
8.17 before a reaction set in. January
advanced from 7.85 to 8.05. At the best
figures of the day the ma_rk<-t showed a
net rise of 11 to 14 points. Europe bought
on the call, sold later in the morning.
then once more became buyer late in thu
day. The South and room trade sold
during the forenoon, but subsequently
turned for cover. Warehouses were uc
tive buyers on the upturn. The market
was finally steady, with prices 9 to 12
points higher.
