General rains In the south half of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the central and pastern states, except In North Carolina, which had little rain.

Temperatures average for Texas 94, and for Oklahoma 78 Indica tions are for clearing weather in north west Texas and unsettled and showers in southern half of Texas, central and east ern states North Carolina si likely also to get the needed rains As expected, Liverpool weakened materially, futures at one time showing a loss of 18 points' spots 13 points lower Our market lost a few points in the first trading on the weakness In other markets, but otherwise offered more resistance to decline than It has done for some time Support seemed to be based on the idea of possible crop damage by continued and locally excessive rains in the eastern half of the belt.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Aug 9.—Heaviness in the copper group caused by an unsatisfactory situation in the London copper market, was the feature of the stock market at the opening here today. Later they ral lied. The general tone at the outset was good. Reading was % higher and gains of % were scored in Union Pacific, Lehigh Val ley and American Can. Westinghouse was particularly strong, gaining 1%. Consolidated Gas moved up %. There was a rally in American To bacco, which bad been sold vigorously, and a recovery to within a shade of Thurs day's closing resulted. At the end of fif teen minutes trading in a number of leaders, including United States Steel, St. Paul, Amalgamated Copper and Atchison were ranging a shade higher than their yesterday s final prices. Canadian Pacific opened % off, but recovered. The curb was quiet. American railway shares in London ■ were steady above New York parity. There was profit-taking there in Canadian Pacific • A waiting tendency was shown In the late forenoon, although a number of the leading railroads and industrials moved up fractionally. Gains ranging around % wjere made in Steel, Consolidated Gas. Union Pacific, Lehigh Valley. Canadian Pacific and Interboro. Metal. Reading and Westinghouse were the prominent features, advancing more than a point each. The market was sluggish in the after noon and prices moved irregularly with a reactionary trend. Declines from the best prices of the day ranged from % to 1 point. Stocks closed strong. Government bonds unchanged. Other bonds steady. Stock quotations; I [Last | Clos.lP.ev STOCKS— IHigh’Low.

Carpenter. Baggot & Co. say: “Con sidering the strong sentimental influence which rains in portions of the states of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas have had on the market, we hardly feel justified in expressing an opinion, but some of the features induce us to continue bullish in our ideas and to feel confident that ulti mately higher prices must rule.” Following are 11 a. m. bids: August, 11.67; October, 11.83; December, 11.89, December-January, 11.83. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows cloudy over entire belt, except fair in a few spots in south Texas. General rains in north Texas, also west portion of Oklahoma, Arkansas, central and eastern belt * Rains were moderate in central states, but heavy in’Alabama and \tlantics except North Carolina. Indications are for con tinued cloudy, showery weather in belt; rain indicated also for southfern half of Texas and North Carolina. Reliable advices from San Antonio, Texas, reads: “So far as the cotton c.op of south is concerned it has de teriorated greatly and cotton that was expected a month ago to yield one-half to three-quarters per bale, is not expect ed now to make one bale to four acres. 1 understand, however, they have had rains in north Texas and Oklahoma and that conditions there are better. The high temperatures we have had in this pari of the country and our lands mostly being pf light sandy soil went to pieces within a short time.'' The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: Bearish success is broadening bearish sentiment,-which in turn is robbing the ranks of the bulls of manj worker*-*. What the end will be no man knows. It is a fact too potent for argument that rains all over the belt, with the exception of portions of south and southwest Texas, have improved, the crop promising to a tangible extent, and the low price people are now claiming, whereas, they feared drouth and high temperatures on a watered plant, high price people must fear rains and moderate temperatures. However, history alone can reveal the influence on the outturn of the original handicap of a late start in- poorly pre pared soil. Meanwhile there is a surplus of con tract sellers and a dearth of buyers, and the brakes were applied to yesterday’s decline, not so much because there w< re men in the market with faith in the price, but, bcause the parity between America and Liverpool had so greatly w idened as to purchases on this side seem at tractive, without much regard to the probable future course of the market.

Wheat opened steady in t”ne and abount unchanged in price, prices quickly yielding %®%c on good selling and lack of suport. A report of less demand for the American hard wheat was the weakening influence. Corn was unsettled and irregular with September a shade higher and the de ferred months fractionally lower.

Wheat closed with losses of % to %c to day and there were reces ions in the price of corn of % to %c. Oats declined ’ io ’<<■ and there was considerable reaction from the bottom prices.
