DAILY COTTON LETTER'
——
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8. A sudden i
verv important change occurred in weath
er prospects overnight. While yesterday
it looked like clearing weather and rising
temperatures for the, southern half of
■ Texas, a strong cool wave appeared on the
northwestern border of the state over
night. giving good prospects for rains
and fooler weather over Texas during the ;
next fort\ -eight hours. Oklahoma had ;
“ some big rains; good rains also fell in ’
Arkansas. Louisiana. Mississippi. Ala
, ba ma. Tennessee and Georgia, which were
needed, according to Tuesday’s weekly '
government report Cloudy. showery I
weather is indicated for the entire belt,
except clearing tomorrow in northwest
Texas and Oklahoma.
Official records show nine stations in'
Texas witn an average of .30 ami nine «Jta- ,
Hotis in (Tklahoma with an average of .90
Splendid rains throughout Tennessee, i
Temperature averages for Texas 82. and
for Oklahoma 86. Liverpool came in about |
8 poiqis bet •.♦•!* than due on futures, but;
spots were unchanged. A cotton buyer I
just back from a trip io south ’Texas;
says that in several localities there is a
decided scarcity of labor for picking. Gen ;
• eral rains now would help the cn»p grow ;
greatly, but would retard picking and low- ;
er the grade. Notwithstanding Liverpool, j
our market opened only 2 points highe;-. ’
remained ip a dull waiting attitude for a
half hour, and then collapsed on the first
sign of support being suspended in New
York. October selling from 12.33 to 12.08
in the second hour.

change in weather prospects overnight
While yesterday it looked like clearing and
hoi for south 'Texas, the map today shows
every prospect for general rains coming
on central and south Texas; also cooler
Early weather news shows further
good rams in central and north Texas;
also m Oklahoma. Arkansas and Geor
gia. where government said rain whs
needed.
’The New Orleans 'Times-Democrats
summarv says: ‘ ’There are now two dis
tinct reactionary clans. Bears believe the
hedge selling on the eve of the market
ing season will wipe out another hun
dred points or so of the sweeping price
gains <>f the late winter, the spring and
the early summer, and support their opin
ions by the assertion that there being
no sale for much of the early cotton in
'Texas, she contract market supplies the
only outlet. On the other hand, bulls
contend that forward sellers are really do
ing a good business; that the demand for
i export freight room is much bettor than
generally admitted and that the new- bus’
ness already done for fall delivery, plus
; ihe outstanding old contracts which must
be filled, aggregates about enough to take
care of all the cotton likely to become
available prior to January. Rain enough
has fallen in the northern half of Texas,
but there seems to be an important area
i in the southern half that has not as yet
I been ■ relieved, with less pros
| poet of rain there than has been. Mean
i while. Liverpool is inclined to think tem
! porary rallies only are in prospect. The
. South, however, has just about finished
| marketing a 16,000.000-bale crop at prices
j ranging 3c to 4c higher Ilian the talent
believed possible, and it may prove that
the producing South ifi a stronger po
sition than the consumer and the short
seller realize."
