N’«w York. Jui. ;« The fr;n'ft
reiiurt eiys: ' a "decline in Liverpool on
;ites of Nell & Co. pf 8,300,000 bales
as rhe minimum, crop depression at the
"cuth. long selling undL bear hammering
aused lower local prices here early in
the day. Later on reports of Uibught
in southwestern Texas, some recovery
in Liverpool and buying by start*
mused a rally, which put prices slightly
above the closing prices of yesterday.
Copious rains were reported m some
parts of Texas and spot markets at the
South were weaker. One firm said: “To
soil cotton at ruling prices Is taking the
chances that there will be a cor.tinui-
ticra of all the bearish features that have
recently prevailed to bring the market
down to Us present level, and as many
‘things may happen, such us adverse
erbp reports, a settlemept of.tariff mat
ters and a revival of business confi
dence. one or all of which might occur
within the next sixty days. It would
seem best that the season should be a
little further advanced before attempt
ing to put the market below the figures
touched today. However, we must wait
on Liverpool, as Is usually the case, to
determine whether prices have recov
ered as much as present crop prospects
warrant. With any encouragement from
there we shall/ improve, but without
that support we shall have tb drag
along until we hear more favorably
from that market.”

The local market during the week has
fhov.n but llttse'change, the demand for
the small offerings coihes from the mill
men In our immediate neighborhood, and
is limited to -their daily wants. :.
I. ilders of spot cotton are firm and re
fuse to sell unless at full prices, as the
leading markets show but little disposi
tion to act either way.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, July 31.—There was far less
strength to wheat at the opening today
than marked the close of yesterixy. The
corn market was oft and, as wheat took
its impetus from that grain when ad
vancing, it quite naturally receded in
sympathy. Long wheat whs disposed of
with aa much celerity os possible, not
considering the question of profit and loss.
The entire session did not indicate any
inherent strength, although alt the close
a moderate rally took place on buying
by holders to privileges. Very little en
couragement was derived from the an
nouncements, unless, perhaps, the export
clearances had some effect In steadying
prices. The primary market receipts were
the larges* for any day since the inaugu
ration of the new crop movement. Sep
tember opened 63V4 to &3%; sold between
64 and 52%. closing at &3%a% of a cent
under yesterday. Cash wheat was in good
demand at about steady prices. Corn,
after glancing at the weather map, the
bull in corn plunged tnto the pit at the
opening, and frantically endeavored to sell

CHICAGO GRAIN LETTER.
Special wire to Lyons & James.
Chicago, July 31.—Wheat, a weak open
ing, an. early rally and gradual easing
off. characterised trading m this market.
Foreign advices showed but a feeble re
sponse to the strength yesterday, which
was not sustained, later dispatches re
porting Liverpool selling. The news was
again bearish and everything current had
a depressing effect, and it is very plain
that ytaderduy’a strength was purely
sympathetic, and short* scarce. Ship
ments from India, Baltic and sundnyporu*
2,864,000 bushels; .American shipments, 3,-
300,000 bushels, making the total European
wheat supplies Cor the week, 6,164.090
bushels. Shipments of wheat from an
countries to Europe this season, ending
July 31, ubout 332,000,000 bushels against
335,000,000 bushels the previous season.
Reports of another cargo of 100,000 bushels
of wheat Toledo chartered for Chicago,
New receipts, Minnesota and Duluth, 370
cars vs., 185 the same period lost year.
Receipts at primary points again 1,250,000,
and clearances were large, ubout 714,000,
apparently had no effect on the market,
there being more than an offsett by Brad-
streets report. Showing on increase in
stocks East and West of the Rockies
,100,000 bushels, with a decrease of 112,000
bushels, in the stocks of European afloat,
trading was largely by professionals, New
York, St. Louis and Chicago, who sold
freely on the early advance.
Corn—The weather again played a very
important part In the corn market. Rains
were reported In Iowa and Nebraska, and
prices sheaved a loss of 1% to 1% cents
a* the opening, but was soon run up *1
to 1 cent on buying for outside account,
conwniEslon houses being good buyers.
On further reports of good rains from
private fources, the market became weak
and gradually declined, losing all of Its
early advance. A very large cash Duslness
was transacted, about 400,000 bushels with
prices under September.
Oats opened weak with prices a shade
off and heavy selling by elevator firms,
principally May option, the market de
clined, showing loss at the close of % to
1 cent
Itecttpts—'Three hundred and' one cars
were quite large, overrunning the esti
mate some 40 cars. Provisions opened
firm and active, but with no change In
prices. Hogs at the yards were consid
erable under the estimate and prices were
5 to 10 cents higher, there being a pretty
fair shipping demand.

then ttvfcir holdings. Prices started irreg
ularly and weak, but soon after the first
trades were mode it became noticeable
that orders to buy were doming from
the portion of the corn belt that had
not been 'avored with showers, whilst
the districts that had had rain were
selling. Not. a great deal of rain had
fallen during the night, but Washington
predicted further Showers- which brought
out more corn and produced a weak un
dertone. There was a rally during the
early hours of the session, which carried
prices back ever a portion of the opendng
decline.- September com-opened tirm at
45% to 15%, sold*"between G% from yester
day.. A largt/busdnoss was done In cash
oorn; at prices averaging half a * cent
vor yesterday.
Ooats—This market was without inde
pendence of action. Longs were selling,
but, it was due only to the weak and de
clining wheat and corn markets, that
they were doing so. September oats clos
ed 1 cent under yesterday. Cash oats
were steady at unchanged prices.
Provlsions-Wlth an improved tone of
hogs, a light run on them oml an ad
vance in their price, product was enabled
to present a better feeling today than
yesterday. 1 was-a dull, spiritless mar
ket, however, prices giving .way to a
slight extent before the close bn account
of weakness In grain. [September pork
and ribs were without change from yes
terday at the close, whilst Seytember
lard was a shade higher. The cash fu

Sp*clal wire to Lyons & James.
New York, July 31.—Liverpool declined
s points and gained L This market lost
e points and molv than rmra trwwt Im.
points and more than regained the loss,
*ome of the Improvements being due to
reports of less favorable accounts from
601 ,ar S*ly attributable,
We think,to the fact that the shorts gen
ially seemed disposed to cover. Hlx and
J cents for August here means a price
to the producer that mokes cotton grow-
*ng a matter of ttttle profit, and yet It
thay be that with a continuance of favor,
able crop advices, the lowest prices may
hm, have been'seen. To sell cotton at
ruling prices here Is taking the chances
that there will be a continuation of all
tne bearUfi features that have recently
Prevailed to bring the market down to
its present level, and as many things may
happen, such as adverse crop reports, a
tfitlemim of the tariff matter and a re
vival of business confidence, any or all
c * which might occur within the next
bkty days, it would seem best that the
o«a*m should be a little further ad-
vaneed before attemplng to put the mar
ket below the figures touched today.
However, we must watt upon Liverpool
fe usually the case, to determine
Whether prices hare receded as much as
prew-nt crop prospects would war
rant. With any encouragement from
*n*r*. we shall improve, but without their
