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.” WEATHER ' Conditions.

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.
