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.

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."
