Aug. 2.—Cotton opened firmer today with advances ranging from I unchanged to 8 points above the previous i close. Kirin cables acted as a partial i offset to heavy showers in central Texas. | and the weather map showing very favor- 1 able conditions over the entire belt. • 77 was expected. After the start the list! worked off, but steadied again on cover ing and bull support. At 11 o’clock the government flashed its condition report as of July 25 at 76.5, against 80.4 last month and 89.1 last year. The report was considered of a very bull ish character, and within ten minutes after its publication prices had made a continuous rise of 21 to 27 points on new i crop conditions from the early range, through the aggressiveness of the local and uptown crowd. August was not shown any support and this option made a downward shoot of 9 points from the opening. The ring crowd and big profes sionals during the afternoon session be gan to liquidate their long lines annd the market became weak, makig a backward step of 7 to 14 points from the high levels of the day. At the close the market was easy, with prices showing a net gain of 10 to 13 points from the final quotations of Thurs day. Warehouse stocks in New York today 104,802. certificated 94,364.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.—The weather . map shows very favorable conditions; cloudy all over Texas and Oklahoma, i lemperatures much lower; raining now from Ahilene to Kort Worth; good rain fall at t L'ort Worth; lighter rains in Abi lene and Taylor.

Reliable weather information shows ; heat spell in Texas and Oklahoma com pletely broken. Temperatures 15 degrees ' lower. Ample rainfall. Government rec ords at 10 o’clock will show good rains. 1 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 <B4 degres in Oklahoma. Only 1 six stations in Texas show temperature of 100 or above, against 28 stations the day before. Galveston wires: “First bales are being i received in central Texas earlier than last i year. Brownwood seven days earlier. I Look for heavy August movement.” ‘ j New Orleans Times-Democrat says:; Opinion played a curious role yesterday ; and the course of the cotton market re- . fleeted the near presence of a climax of , some sort. It was the old story of con- < tidence in the scope, magnitude and ben eficial results of privately reported rains ! in the West, shown by one faction, <con fllcting with the close adherence by the other faction to the official reports of comparatively little rain !n the West. The (rouble 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 I follows that on Texas precipitation, one ; school of speculation depends squarely ; on the belated but accurate official rec ords. while the other school, the wish of 1 ten being father to the thought, accepts I without question any message that sug- ! gests rain in the West during the drouth ; i season. Under such circumstances the I contract market sometimes lacks the i trained guidance of the cautious and ! skillful speculator. Yestenkiy’s market : was an excellent illustration of off day ; I 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 plaj of the reactionary has been merely a crude way of temporarily breaking values.

Aug. 2. —A strong under tone marked the opening of the stock market today, nearly all of the leading issues scoring initial gains of from % to ■’b points. After the first few minutes of trading, however, irregularity developed and the best figures were generally shaded. Firmness was shown by such market leaders as Union Pacific, Southern Pa cific. Steel common. Great Northern pre ferred. Northern Pacific, Consolidated Gas, Reading. Atchison and Lehigh Valley. Intel borough preferred was one of the strongest features with a gain of nearly a point. Canadian Pacific was off 1 point on profit-taking. American shares were firm in the Lon don market, but dealings were narrow. Canadian Pacific was off on profit-taking. The curb market opened irregular. In the late forenoon an easier tone de veloped on profit-taking sales; and a num ber of stocks receded fractionally. Steel common held firm, while the preferred declined The majority of the railroad stocks were steady. international Har vester was exceptionally strong, moving up a point to 124%. Business was small in the last hour of trading and the market leaders in dicated very little change from the mid day prices. Westinghouse and Interna tional Harvester were strong, making further fractional gains. Slight 'losses were sustained in Steel. Amalgamated, New Y'ork Central and Reading. The market closed easier. Governments steady; other bonds firm. -Stock quotations: I I ILastlClos. Prev STOCKS— IHighlLow.'Sale.l Bid. Cl'se Amai. Copper. 84% 1 83%| 83%| 83% 83% Am. Ice Sec... 28% 2»>%' 26% 26 25% Am. Sug.

Towle & Co.: Think the market is technically in a strong position Should report show under 77 we should strongly advise bytying. Hayden, Stone & Co.: Average ex- place figures at about 77. but the market is forgetting condition figures now and should the rains reported in the Southwest be confirmed, it will be found hard to prevent a further decline. Miller N- Co.: While the spot situation may sustain prices, think temporarily strength should be met with sales. Met rherger.
