New York. Aug. 16.—While the market

New Orleans. Aur. 16.—The market twlny
derived Its main stimulant from unfavorable
weather developments over Sunday. No
rnln to speak of occurred In tb« './eat, and
a heat wave seems to have struck the north
western quarter. Six stations In Texas re
port 10:) degrees, three 162 and two 104.
The temperature averages for Oklahor**
and Arkansas Is 100 degrees. Rather heav r
rains occurred lu Tennessee and North Car-
ollnn, where they were uot needed. Clear,
hot weather prevailed also In the lower
central stoles. Liverpool nt first was 6
lower than due, hut recovered sharply In
the Inst hour nnd closed lff2 above Satur
day. Snot prices are 4 lower, with sales
of 8.000 hales. (.Top summaries for the past
week are favorable, except those on Texas,
hlcli express grave concern over yield out-
dlan
favorable. . . . _ w . _
ns iMisIsble. But we wish to caution our
renders not to lose eight of the fact that
the crop Is (ate. very spotted and stands
rather poor.” Following are two reports
by reliable parlies on Texas: Son Antonio
says: "Past week waa favorable nnd crons
Improved In south and southwest, nltho
some complaints of weevil are appearing.
One traveling man says the crop la good
mi to Austin, but from there Into central
Texas It begins to look spotted nnd wt>r*e.”
Our market was well supported around
the opening by buying on the bullish
weather and the feeling strongly for nil
ndvnurc, but determined selling In New
York turned the tide after 14 polum bad
been gained, outside support la light nt
present, and the lending talent In the North
seems to be selling. In anticipation of the
effect of Increased new receipts. Houston
receipts today of 2.066 are all new. The
market settled around 12.05 for new crops.
The following on the short side Is rather
enut(oils and for good reasons. Tfcta Is the
first time this season that the heat In
Texas conies front dry west winds. If
there Is no change In the next few days,
damage report* from Oklahoma and Ar
kansas are more than probable.
New York, Aug. 16.—J. H. Bnche k Co.:
Tables early were weak, hut the English
market rallied Iwfore we opened nnd at 16
o'clock atom! about ns due. First prices were
n little higher am! during the morning
showed a rally of 10 points, but part of this
was lost. It was rather a dull and entirely
local market with t>oth sides awaiting de
velopments. Mis* Giles reported ihe rondl
of the ,
tlouof cotton on August 9 ns 70 j»er cent
compared with 75 two week* ngo, but fell
tint on the market. The greatest decline In
condition was III Texas 10 per cent. I^ulst-
11 mi 7 |»er cent, Arkansan 5 per rent, and
Oklahoma 9 per cent. She estimates the
crop nt 11,06.000 bales, ami It Is still one
to three weeks late. The Memphis t.'ommcr-
Apnea! said (hot In all the territory cant

cording to the Appeal, tin* crop Iwcausc of

If cotton Is sold ns freely ns heretofore

Chicago, Aug. 16.—The board of trade was
the busiest place in Chicago for about half
an hour this morning. The wheat pit es
pecially was crowed with traders and oper
ators. Everybody wanted to get back on the
bull aide of the market after going nut of
it r oter Sunday. This was the principal
cause for an advance in prices on a range
ot tylfttyc. Cables were strong.
Corn and outs gained %o and tyc, respect
Ively, partly in sympathy with wheat.
Provisions were considerably stronger at
the opening than at any time last week at
10 to 12tyc. higher. . .
Wheat closed nt practically unchanged
prices flora Chicago's close after nn Irregu
lar and exceedingly nervous session. There
was nil kinds of trading on both aides of
the market, with the shorts getting away
with the larger trade. Heavy selling liegnn
about 11 nVI«M-k nnd the market showed a
