July 23. - Cotton opened active on the New S’ork exchange today, early prices ranging from 5 to 7 points, higher as the result of tne strong cables. ! There was little rain shown in the east ern belt, but this apparently had small’ influence. The steady buying of the Oc tober option by spot interests was a prominent feature in the initial trading, serving to check bear pressure in the new crop months. After the call the market became very steady. During the afternoon trading the mar ket closed only a few points different from the opening. Business was being done moderately, and buying was of good character, coming from some leading spot interest, which has been the case for some time past. Little cotton was sold by the ring crowd on better weather re ports. The phenomenal strength to the market is due to dry weather in Texas. The market has been very narrow and very little changes in prices can be looked for until the bureau report is issued on August 2. At the close the market was steady with a net gain in prices of 9 to 11 points from the final quotations of Monday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. July 23.—Liverpool lost 5 English points in parity since Fri day, which was recovered today. Spots quoted 4 points higher: sales 10.000 bales. English consols showed a further sharp decline and London says that the country is impressed by the serious warning con tained in the speech of the lord of the admiralty to the effect that Germany is ready for war. This continued decline in the. leading government security and constant agitation can not be helpful to trade. A cable from Liverpool said: "Market advanced on reports of serious damage to crop in Alabama, Mississippi and Geor gla. The weather map shows favorable conditions. Generally fair except over North Carolina. No rain, except scattered showers in Louisiana. Mississippi, east Tennessee and North Carolina.“ indications are for partly cloudy to fair weather: possibly some isolated show ers in the central and eastern states, and good prospects for unsettled weather and for rains coming on west Texas and Okla homa. It is remarkable, however, that even temperatures keep in the western states, with no excess yet. Only two stations touched 100 degrees, whereas, as in other years, many sections showed above that mark for many days. Manchester cables: “Manchester mar ket strong, but high prices are checking trade.” Our market gained about 6 points In the early trading on the strength of Liverpool, but did not hold well Advices from New York are by no means so uni formly in favor of the market. Anticipa tion of a bullish August bureau Is per haps the strongest factor in sustaining values. San Antonio advises the ginning of five new bales, and that picking will become more general in a week.

By CHARLES AV. STORM. NEW YORK. July 23 Although price movements were irregular in the early transactions on the New York stock ex change today, the tone of the market was generally steady and the recessions that occurred were for the most part gained before the end of the first fifteen min utes of trading. On the other hand, these issues that opened at an advance gener ally lost their gains in the initial trading. The character of Washington dispatches giving prominence to the forecasts of (lie Stanley committee’s report was used as an incentive for some selling of Steel common, which was heavy, yielding % to 70% and showing no rallying power. Reading, which sold ex-divfdend 1% points at the opening, made a gain of %, which was followed by a decline of %. General Electric, after selling down a point, rallied to yesterday's closing price. Amalgamated Copper opened % higher at 8.3%. but yielded % in the early trans actions. American issues in the London market were firm in tone, but narrow in range. Steel common was under pressure in tlte late forenoon, declining 'i. Similar losses were recorded in Reading, Union Pacific and St. Paul. There was con tinued accumulation of Erie The copper stocks were in good demand. The curb maraet opened steady. Business was extremely dull after mid day. being left almost exclusively to pro fessional traders who made several at tacks upon the railroad and industrial shares, forcing several moderate declines. Reading dropped 1% from the opening to 162% and then rallied to 163. The market closed irregular; govern ments unchanged; other bonds steady.

Fnews and gossip Os the Fleecy Staple NEW YORK. July I*3. It Is believed that big bulls have liquidated their lines and are taking the bear side for a turn. Anticipations are for a bullish bureau report August 2. Many say the crops in the eastern and central belts have de teriorated considerably. Reports are that Texas and Oklahoma have improved. However, they have Just about held their own. The strike at New Bedford is causing anxiety in the cotton market. The feature of the cotton trading at present is the phenomenal strength in spots. Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma generally clear, not so warm.’’ Browne, Drakeford *< Co., Liverpool, ca ble: America and trade buying; job- bers buying in early sales." Some buying on the dry western belt was done this morning. Mitehell. I-rot - man. E. K. Cone and Parrott were best buyers; selling scattered. Following are 11 a. tn. bids: July 12.15. October 12.15, December U 36, Januarv 12.35. NEW ORLEANS, July 23. Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows fair in entire belt, except few cloudy spots in central states and North Carolina No rain, except light showers in San Antonio, Houston. Mississippi and Louisiana Map indicates part cloudy to fair in belt, except increasing prospects for un settled rains coming on northwest Texas and Oklahoma next 36 hours. The weekly weather report favorable, except Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and Oklahoma. Taylor. Texas, says In consequence of recent rains, the San Gabriel river, five miles north of there is now on a four-foot rise. The New Orleans Times-Democrat s summary: Arguments on both sides ap pear to have lost their force, and some new Issues must apparently develop be fore speculative activity will be witnessed on the grand scale so pleasing to the brokers and to traders generally. Senti ment in the market is about evenly bal anced. an«l the gnod reports that are com ing from Texas, and the bad reports from the central belt and the Atlantic's are monotonously uninteresting to the profes sional element. Observant cotton men, re turning from Texas, bring glowing ac counts of crop conditions in that state, while others, equally observant, bring dis tressing news as to conditions in Missis sippi. Alabama. Georgia and portions of the Carolinas. In sheer desperation over such a perplexing state of affairs, students of the situation are paying more heed tn the dry goods reports from the leading markets. According to those reports, the mills seem confident that prices are up to Slav up. and are receiving orders for de livery only up to October 1, not wishing to take any chances on the price of the raw material advancing to a much higher level between now and next fall. These reports lay stress upon the fact that while the crop grown in 1911 was enormously large, it left much to be desired of the way of quality and grade, and incidentally light is thrown on the urgent demand re cently noted for good grades of cot ton. These observations apply principally to American mills, the foreign spinner having shown rare good judgment in lay ing in full supplies when the better grades w**re to be had.
