Aug 10 Weak cables and favorable weather conditions resulted in the cotton market opening 3 to 8 points lower today During the first few min utes of trading a buying wave prevailed and prices in the most active positions rallied 4 to 6 points from the early range. During the late trading of the short session the market developed a quiet tone with less active business. The buying wave that prevailed during the early trad ing seemed to check on tne weather map indications for favorable weather over Sunday for the larger part of the belt, and prices had a tendency to sag. At the close the market was steady with prices showing a net loss of 7 to 11 points from the final quotations of Friday. range of new yor kput u« 1 i ' ’ c ' w i -• I « >2 t I “ J i • 2? jo|z |sj | -jw| v auo Au g? 11.. 67,]1.67 T1~67 11.67 11.60t62 11.71-73 Sept. 11.70 11.70 11.70 11.00 11.66-68 11.75-77 Oct. 11.80 11.89:11.80 11.81 11.80-81 U.KB-89 Nov 11.81-84 11.89-91 I >ec 11.89|1l 97 11.87 1 I.x St 1.87-88 I 1 95-98 •lan. 11.82 11.90 11.81 11.81 11,80-82 11.88-89 i 11.86-88 11.94-96 Meh. 11.95 12.02 11.92 11.92 11.92-93 12.00-01 Maj 12 C.> 12 05 1 2 01 12 01 12 00-02 12 08; 10 Closed steady Liverpool cables were due 2 to 3 points higher. opened steady 4 to 6»i points higher Closed irregular to 2Vi points lower.

HAYWARD <£ CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 10. Liverpool showed surprising weakness toward the close with futures about 5 points lower than due: spots 8 points lower; several cables said the decline was caused by the rumor of an important failure in our jnar ket. No one here knows of any failure or even suspicion of one. The rumor is. therefore, unfounded. The weather map shows fair in Oklahoma, in western Ar kansas and the Atlantic coast districts. Generally cloudy elsewhere; good rains in the northern half of Texas; also in the western portion; no rain in the southern half of Texas; general rains in the cen tral ad eastern states; very heavy in north Louisiana and heavy at many stations in north Alabama. Georgia and South Caro lina. Indications are for cloudy, unset tled showery weather, except in the northw’estern quarter of Florida, which i may have fair xveather. Precipitation in I the central and eastern states, except i possibly in East Tennessee and North ;<’ar6lina. should not be as heavy as dur i ing the past txvo days. Our market j opened a little easier on the poor Liver • pool, but selling was W’ell taken. The demand came from shorts to coxet ! over Sunday and on the belief that rainy 1 weather in centra! states will bring dam -1 age reports, and also in anticipate/ of a j bullish crop report h\ ’('he - < rai Monday. Further rainy weaCher il ls thought might make the crop so late that the filling of August and early Sep tember spot comn>itniems many hold o< advance spot prices which are already considerably above future prices. in reply to an inquiry, a well-posted party in south Texas answers that rain is needed from Taylor south, but no harm yet New York did not encourage the reaction idea, but became weak in the last hour, w’hich led to a loss of all the gain here, October selling back to 11.92. McFadden interests xvere reported as leading sellers. The weather over Sun day will probably affect trading mate rially early next week. Further heavy and general rains would strengthen the belief in damage and late crop, while clearing weather would encourage selling on anticipation of improving crop news and an increase in early- receipts.
