However, the bull prices and Liverpool bought and through their aggressiveness prices were firmly ! maintained with October rising from 42.07 to 12.27. December rallied from 12.17 to 12.33.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 7.—The weekly weather report yesterday said that rain I was needed in the central and eastern . states and in central Oklahoma. Well, the state of Oklahoma had good general • rains, particularly In the central portion, l over night, and there are good indica- I tioris for general rains in Arkansas in the next 21 hours, and general showers in i the central and eastern states. The rains: i in the northern half of Texas were caused j by the cool wave and as this has passed I out over the Atlantic, prospects for rain , I in the southern half of Texas have rather : diminished for today at least. It will be warmer except in the Atlantics. where i temperatures will remain stationary. TJverpol came in weak with futures I as much as 12 points lower anil spots 25 • points lower. A cable said: "‘Temporary i rally possible.” Labor unrest all over the manufacturing world may play an impor tant part during the coming season. New York advises: “All mills Berkshire Cotton Manufacturing Company, Adams. Mass.. i closed today as result of weavers', strike which Is spreading. Twenty-three mills at Puebla. Mexico, closed down: 15.000 textile workers struck.” Opening a few points lower on the poor' I Liverpool, the market rallied on good sup- I I port, some of which was on the theory of a reaction after a big decline, and ' some on the diminished rain reports in the southwestern quarter of the belt.

The New Orleans Tinies-Detnocrat’s summary: Yesterday's cotton market de cline was a whirlwind finish to the bear ish according to the bulls. According to tlie bears. It folded up bull ish hope for the near future like a punc tured accordion from which no more music will come. Both views can not be correct, consequently a bit of cold logic in the heat of tha fray may help solve tlie riddle. Splendid rains have fallen over the greater portion of Texas, apd moder ate to light rains have fallen over the greater portion of the remainder of the state. The hope and the fear of the cot ton man usually has Its rise in Texas, hence in the minds of a majority of trad ers the menace of drouth has now been replaced by the promise of ideal growing and fruiting conditions during the criti cal month of August. I nder tlie stress of the moment, when bearish sentiment has the right of way, only a few students of the crop seem to remember that all season the basis of bullish crop expectation has been the be lief that no matter how favorable tlie weather, the plant as a rule has its in creption under sufficiently adverse con ditions to handicap its fruiting and ma turing ability, but the re-exploitation ol’ such beliefs must await the coming of bad weather or a keen spot demand be fore the talent will give it ear. Texas needed rain, and it has received rain enough in some sections to suggest tlie accumulation of season in the ground for next year. Nevertheless the. government promised fair weather in Texas and for that reason longs have persisted In their tefusal to credit j/osslbly exaggerated private rain reports, until fully confirmed by the government.
