TEMINS LOHCDTTONI Downward Tendency of Market Accentuated by Weak Spot Demand. , I ( NEW Y<.)RK, Aug. 16.—1 n keeping with weak cables the cotton market opened!; easier today, first prices being 7 to 14 ‘ I points lower. However, the market was j « so well suported that rallies of 6 to 9 I ■ points quickly followed. Part of this was I | due to the Giles’ report of 76.7 against j 79.9 for the present crop which was con- ; strued as bullish. The market sold off easily during the i late forenoon, and found very little sup port. Rears were talking free offerings ( of spots and the poor demand for the actual caused the market to weaken. ; The August option fell from 11.32 to 11.22. < I while other active positions followed the decline closely. Reported rains in southwest Texas, combined with small demand for spot, • caused a still further downward move ment 'kiring the afternoon session, with prices R to 13 points below the opening and 17 to 22 points below Thursday's close. At the close the market was quiet with prices showing net losses ranging from 30 to 34 points below the final quotations of Thursday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16 —Liverpool came in distinctly weak tlds morning, with futures about 8 points lower than due; spot prices 8 points lower. There are many reasons for the weakness In creased offerings of new shipments, a somewhat remarkable indifference on the part of mills toward these offers, but, mainly, the very favorable weather While continued and extensive rains at tlds time last year gave rise to considera ble actual damage by insects, this year is noted the absence of danger from this source, owing to the continued fair weather, which checks insect propaga tion and activity. The map shows cloudy weather in south and west Texas and the oast portion of the Atlantlcs. Moderate scattered show ers fell in the north central and north eastern part of the belt, with some good rains in North Carolina where most need ed. Elsewhere fair and dry weather pre vailed. Indications are for further rains in North Carolina; cloudy in west and south Texas, with possibly some rains; generally fair elsewhere. Palestine and Dallas. Tex., report new bales and Bren ham. Tex., shows receipts of 1.470 for the week, against 839 last year. Our market opened 17 points lower to meet the other markets, rallied a little on reaction by buying, but soon declined to 11.51 for October when the govern -1 ment predicted fair weather for the belt.

It was rumored that rain had fallen at Victoria ami Markham in south Texas. New Orleans Times-Democrat s sum mary: The bulls say: “The August movement is falling well below exporters’ expectations; rains in the Atlantic states and at an early date would make the demand for early cotton acute, the character of the complaints from Texas justify the belief that the plants lacks sturdiness. an<l will make no more cotton than last year, while the crop in the \t lantic states must be much below last year’s freak yield, which resulted from a complete combination of extraordinarily favorable conditions. Consumption 1.912- 1913 v ill probably’ equal Hint of 1911-1912, because trade is good and because a sin gle large crop has started expensive en terprises among the mills." The bears say: “Because the* move ment is not as early as it might be.
