Shows futures 4 lower, against un changed due. Clark: Weather map. not complete, si: good rains In tho drought section of slsslppl, showers at San Antonio. l*c New Orleans, August 21.—Liverpool sup- plied a little variety by being about four )>olnta lower than due, which was looked upon here us the result of expected flnnrt- rial developments In London and of cables nbout rains In Texas. Private reports this tnornlng spoke of only Hr* ‘ * " Texas, except Dallas and by room traders. Incomplete, particularly from Texas; to check private news, and weather Informa tion Is very vague. Good rains fell In the drought section of Mississippi and north Louisiana and temperatures are generally lower except In the coast regfou. It Is as tonishing how many people nre ngnlnst the market In the face of present prices paid for snot cotton, new and old. Futures are already at 1 rent to 1ft ce; * — - - prices, which has repea wily. Futures are at too much discount under spot prices to give way much. This must be constantly borne In mind. Market advnuelug on better feeling about stocks and not enough rain In Texas. Map the central and eaatern states, and cooler. This should be enough advance for today, but If the market softens a little, buy some. Looks like -the long expected advance to spot prices is now coming soon. New York reports bear leader Is buying. If the market softens n little, think It time to buy for an upward movement In cotton. Futures ore at too much discount under spots, and there la a better feeling as to finances. Repteiulxer Is the critical mouth for storms, and the cold wave which caused the recent showers Is disappearing, gtvlug a chance for clearing weather In the west. More confidence about flnnnclnl matters Is at the bottom of this advance. Cotton fu tures too much lndow spot prices. Big operators preparing for an upward move ment in the market. May have some small set backs, but looks to me an advance Is under way. . J , Reliable spot house wires from Houston: “Texas had some showers, but they have done no good.

TIPS PLASHED From Wall Strert Town Topics: We look for nn active market today, as the reiteration of the president's corporation policies finds most ot the active Issues heavily oversold. Ma ture consideration of th© speeches should not be considered bearish with stocks at present levels. Crops nre making a fair average and the high prices assure the farmer another year of splendid prosperity, so there Jh nothing to rear regarding busi ness prospects beyond the possible develop ment of a few more weak spots In the In dustrial situation due to the stringency of money.
