Due to manipulation and local ring selling you may see tempo-, rary declines from time to time, but we favor the long side, and would buy it on all soft spots. It is believed the market has been pretty well evened up and there will not oe much change until the report. Browne, Drakeford & Co., Liverpool, cable: "Little offering; trade calling." Dallas wires: "Texas, south and west, clear, balance part cloudy to cloudy, de cidedly cooler; rains at San Angelo. Na cogodless, Troup, Lorena; light rains at Paris, Henrietta. Eastland. Oklahoma, clear to part cloudy; no rain during night." NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 2.—The weather map shows very favorable conditions; cloudy all over Texas and Oklahoma. Temperatures much lower, raining now from Abilene to Fort Worth; good rain fall at Fort Worth; lighter rains in Abi lene and Taylor. Government records at 10 o’clock likely to show good rains at several points. Seme, good showers in Atlantics. Indications are for extensive rainfall coming on Texas; cloudy, showery weather in rest of belt. Reliable weather Information shows heat spell in Texas and Oklahoma com pletely broken. Temperatures 15 degrees lower. Ample rainfall. Government rec ords nt 10 o'clock will show good rains. Austin, Texas, wires: "Weather threat ening; rain expected any moment; 15 new bales here today.” Government shows a temperature aver age for the state of Texas of only 94 de grees and of 84 degres in Oklahoma. Only six stations in Texas show temperature of 100 or above, against 28 stations the day before. Galveston wires: "First bales are being received in central Texas earlier than last year. Brownwood seven days earlier. Look for heavy August movement." New Orleans Times-Democrat says; Opinion played a curious role yesterday and the course of the cotton market re flected the near presence of a climax of some sort. It was the old story of con fidence In the scope, magnitude and ben eficial results of privately reported rains in the West, shown A/y one faction, con flicting with the Close adherence by the other faction to the official reports of comparatively little rain in the West. The trouble here lies in the fact that the government data are made up at 8 o’clock In the morning, while the brokerage house correspondents have free access to the wires all day long. On rainfall the gov ernment plays the part of historian, while the Individual may be a prophet, a guess er, a liar or an enthusiast. And so it follows that on Texas precipitation, one school of speculation depends squarely on the belared but accurate official rec ords, while the other school, the wish of ten being father to the thought, accepts without question any message that sug gests rain in the West during the drouth season. Under such circumstances the contract market sometimes lacks the trained guidance of the cautious and skillful speculator. Yesterday's market was an excellent illustration of off day doings Nevertheless today's develop ments will be required to show, whether the three days' reaction of 64 points on New Orleans October was justified by better crop weather, or whether the play of the reactionary has been merely -a crude way of temporarily breaking values.

Wheat No. 2 red (new) 101 ©103V4 Corn 75% Oats 34 3<% CHICAGO, Aug. 2. Wheat opened easy to lower, due to the good w’eather in. ] the Northwest and lower Liverpool Corn ’; t c lower on forecast for rains in Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, where they are badly needed and a partial breaking of the drouth in Texas and Okla homa. Oats were steady to *4c lower with corn. Provisions had a small range without much change in prices. Liquidation and lower prices were the feature of the latter part nf the session on the board of trade. Following the is suance of Snow’s crop report showing im mense yields, prices for all grains started on the down grade under selling by scat tered longs and pressure from longs, and closing trades were within a fraction nt the bottom with net losses of 1 to l%c <>n wheat, \ to 1 cent on corn and % to lc on oats.
