TODAY’S MARKET OPENINGS'
COTTON.
YORK, Aug. 13.—Weak cables
and favorable weather conditions caused
the cotton market at the opening todav to
show a net loss of 8 to 15 points from'the
previous close. The August and Septem
ber options on the decline reached the
10-cent level. After the call the market
developed a steadier tone and a disposi
tion exists among some big professionals
for higher prices, and through their ag
gressiveness prices rallied a few points
in most active positions from the early
range.

NEWS AND GOSSIP ;
Os the Fleecy Staple
YORK, Aug. 12.—Carpenter. Bag
gut & Co.: McFadden interests and com
mission houses continue to sell. The sell
ing has been very heavy all day. Some of
it seems to be coming rrom some of the
large spot interests, while the only sup
i? l ee,ns to be profit-taking by shorts.
W bile the news is bullish the trade ami
those who arc in market seem to be in
majoritx bearish. Opinions of little con
sequence just now: while we believe in ul
timately h.gher prices, looks as though
market may go some lower.
Liverpool was weak and our market
was heavily sold on the opening, said to
he on more favorable weather and The
rimes-Oemocrat report, which showed an
improvement in conditions. Commission
house sentiment around the ring continues
very- bearish.
Following are 11 a m bills in New
York: October, 11.50; December, 11.58;

£ ) ? LEANS ’ Al, h T 12 —Hayward &
( lark: Ihe weather map shows very fa
vorable conditions; cloudy in south Texas,
partly cloudy in central states, fair north
ern half Texas, Oklahoma and Atlanties.
Only moderate to light scattered showers
in central states, practically no rain in
western states and Atlanties. Indications
are for partly cloudy, possibly some light
local showers, except fair in north Texas
and Oklahoma.
Washington forecast for week: Tem
perature will bo nearer slightly above
normal and precipitation light and local
coming week in southern staffs.
Houston. Texas, receives 7.463 now
bales today. Advices from south Texas
and also from central Texas say rapid in
crease expected In the movement <>f new
cotton.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
1. Taking the belt as a whole there Is
a moderate improvement since the previ
ous report.
2. The crop is still hackward and ex
tremely spbtted, but the feeling is more
optimistic than it was at the beginning
of July.
3. Some sections complain of Insects,
but it is too soon to estimate the dam
age.
4. There is ample supply of labor as a
rule and the crop has been well culti
vated.
5. The movement will be later than
normal by about three weeks and the.
yield will depend greatly on the date of
frost.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says:
“The cotton crop did well over nearly the
entire cotton belt during the past week,
exceptions to improvement being south
ern and central Texas, and part of North
Carolina, where insufficient rains fell.
The improvement was ba-sed on rains
in nearly all the sections east of the
Mississippi river, where rains were more
or less heavy, being excessive in limited
districts. With the moisture now in the
soil the.crop is now expected to advance
rapidly for at least ten days, barring ex
cessive precipitation which is now, per
haps. more than any other development
to be feared, as it would promote a rapid
find retarded fruiting which has not pro
ceeded as far as is usual for the season.”

NEW HIGH LEVEL
Entire Stock List Responds to
Improvement in Business
Conditions.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.—The favorable
character of news concerning the crop
and industrial outlook published today
caused a steady opening In the stock mar
ket and material gains were scattered
throughout the list. Good gains were
made by many of the leading railroads
and industrials and firmness was also dis
played in the specialties group.
Among the initial advances were the
following: Steel common •%, Amalga
mated Copper K. Erie common Balti
more and Ohio Reading a H , Union Pac
ific %, Missouri Pacific Vj, Canadiaan
Pacific Southern Pacific The de
clines were inconsequential. There was
considerable activity at the outset, hut
at the end of fifteen minutes trading be
came a trifle slower.
The curb was strong Americans in
London made gains over New York par
ity and reflected a confident tone.
Strength displayed in the market dur
ing the forenoon was almost wholly due
to outside buying. According to brokers
watching the trading, banking interests
and the large operators usually aggressive
on the bull side did little either way tn
the early trading Price movements were
in the direction of higher figures, but the
only important gains were in specialties.
After midday the tone of the market
became easier and many issues reflected
profit-taking sales by some of the more
active room traders. The recessions were
confined to small fractions in most cases
and did not indicate any material change
in the speculative position. United States
Steel common, after selling at 73 a K . yield
ed to 72%, and a number of other In
dustrials sold at the same amount of
concessions from the early high range.
Stocks closed steady.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds firm.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.—Wheat showed the
loss of to %c on the putting out of

tember was a<lded on shorts buying.
The present weather is more favorable
for the growing crops.
oats were fractionally better for nearby
months, while deferred options were a
shade easier.
There was little change In provisions,
although hogs at the yards were 5 to 10c
higher.
Following lower prices early wheat
firmed up on the decrease in the visible
report and closed %to x /ic higher. Com
mission houses were on both sides of the
market, while cash houses continued to
sell September against country pur
chases.
