MACON. July 23.—On Monday ttie cotton
market, was as quiet as a midsummer
dream, which has been characteristic of
the situation for some time, hut on the
next day rule or ruin came like a hurrl-
cape and Mr. Bear at the helm held the
prow of the ship speculation Btead-
ily down stream until the decline In July
contracts in New York had shown 35
points, and spots lost 3-16., placing Mem
%, lower than New Orleans The senti
ment in the Eastern center has been
bullish, but better advices from Texas
and reports of rains In that state seems
to have weakened some parties, while
others are disposed to hold off until this
deal on the summer months is closed.
Liverpool failed to respond to the break
on this side, and that market and the
continent continues to Import the cotton
in large quantities, the clearances from
New York alone for two days being 18,000
bales, with freight room engaegd for 75,000
more.
The government tells us showers have
occurred in portions of all districts, be
ing general over Texas and scattered over
the eastern portion of the belt. Tho only
heavy amount reported was 3.0S Inches at
Galveston. Tex.
In the loefll market during the morning
the cotton >was sold at 8%, in the after
noon the buyers were disposed to offer
less, while the sellers refused any con
cessions.

NEW YORK, July 23.—A? sensational
break in July was the feature of the local
cotton market today and dragged the la
ter months downward. August was th<
next weakest. The net decline In Julj
was 3i points, to 7.8G. The opening wm.
barely steady with prices 3 points lower
to 1 point higher, and was feverish all
dny with rallies few and far between,
femaller speculators withdrew from the
market and refused to take a fresh hold
until the July deni wan settled for once
and all, nnd until reports from the crop
spot mnrkots were steady. Later Cables
reflected an easier feeling abroad and re
ports from the South went almost exclu
sively to tho bear side. By midday the
decline was a matter of 6 to 6 points on
the speculative months. Then camo a'
bullish government report, stating that
the plant was small nil over the entire
belt, and fruiting at the top over central
and western sections. This caused a /al
ly of several points. AH of It was lost
later under room liquidation and bear

lowest figures of the day. Tho forecast
gave no promise of a break In the South

looked for In the Western portion. Clear

bales within tho past two days. Freight
engagements for the next five weeks were

73,000 bales were said to be In preparation
for shipment to Europe, a decline of
3-lGc. in spot cotton hero was quite In
accordance with the general Ideas con
cerning the severe drop In the July po
sition. Port receipts continued sufficient

mixed from all parts of the belt nnd gave
neither side special advantage. The mar-
was finally easy, with prices net 12

In some weeks and wenknes* In August

July came* as a surprise to many, but
that option has attracted practically no
attention for some time, nnd very little
effect was noticeable in the distant fu
tures but the situation was particularly
uns-etled and mixed and he narrow lack
of outside business and non-committal
character of the weekly weather reports
all served to render Mm market unset

was concerned, there seemed to bo r.o
change. Inducements to buy are few, but
the reserves for selling appear to be few
er still. Until the cotton crop Is pro
gressing more favorably, we cannot ad
vise the sale of cotton. There seems to
be n general feeling In the mnrkot that
cotton Is likely to sell lower owing to the
narrow market, and to tho largo surplus

^ CHICAGO. July 23.—Opening scones In
the grain pits were wild today. Especial
ly nrmng corn and oats was the excite
ment notable-with , the traders. A selling
movement In tho corn market was launch
ed by nervous long* at the tap of the
gong with which the seaidnn was started.
They seemed to have a desire, almost
amounting to a panic, to *ecure profit*,
owing to scattered rains, nnd in conse
quence, there was a wild range of prices.
September Sold simultaneously from 53c.
to 54c., the. latter figure being 6e. under
th#* clrslng price of yesterdny.
At this decline price* steadied. largely
on buying for the country account. As
to the crop situation, there nvna nothing
to change pessimistic views as to corn
nnd onts. ns It was alleged that the show
ers were far from sufficient, hut wheat
bulls were rendered uneasy by reports
of more favorable weather for spring

NEW YORK. July 2*.-It npprnrs that
tho rainfall nt Corsicana yesterday, which
waa given out nt 4.06 Inches, was really
but .to inch. An error having been claimed
In the transmission of figures. This
aused a steadier feeling In the C2J*ly
Liverpool market, where nn Improvement
took place, hesldes this the government
forecast over night indicated nothing moro
than local thunderstorms for Texas. That
state Is beyond doubt In very poor shape,
and while reports are coming of rains In
th* drought region, people from that state
can’t be convinced that the crop will
prove anything like n full one. The early
reports Indicated clear weather at the
Texas stations with temperature early In
the morning up to 80 at Paris. Other
high temperatures were 88 ut Oslnrvllle,
Texas, and Corsicana and 98 at Holly
Bprlngs. Miss. Elsewhere the weather
wss moderate. Around the opening, which
wns 1 to "3 points lower, came reports of
over three Inches of rain at Galveston
nnd light rains nt Palestine nnd Corpus
Chrlstl, whlen had a rtspresrlng effect.
There waa an absence of orders on either
side, and sentiment was rather mixed,
pending the appearance of the bureau
for the week later In the day. There was
more or less liquidation, especially of Au
gust and the general list was 2 to 7 points
lower for the first hour. The morning
forecast was again for thunderstorms In
