TEMINS I LOWED COTTON Downward Tendency of Market Accentuated by Weak Spot Demand. NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—1 n keeping with I weak cables the cotton market opened I | easier today, first prices being 7 to 14 I points lower. However, the market was ;so well suported that rallies of 6 to 9 j j points quickly followed. Part of this was ’ due to the Giles’ report of 76.7 against . I 79.9 for the present crop which was con- | st rued as bullish. The market sold off easily during the late forenoon, and found very little sup port. Rears were talking free offerings] iof spots and the poor demand for the actual causer! the market to weaken. The August option fell from 11.32 to 11.22, 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 during the afternoon session, with prices 8 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. RANGE OF NEW YORK FUJURfS.

HAYWARD <fc CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16. —Liverpool eanu» in distinctly weak this morning, with futures about 8 p< ints lower than i 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 this 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 cheeks insect propaga tion and activity. The map shows cloudy weather in south and west Texas and the east portion of the Atlantics. 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 ment predicted fair weather for the belt.

NEWS AND GOSSIP : Os the Fleecy Staple NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Carpenter. Baggot & Co.: Miss Giles reports condi tion of August 11 at 76.7, or a deteriora tion of 3.2 per cent when condition was 79.0. This compares with 80.4 a month ago, 84 per cent last year and 73.2 in 1910. Liverpool cables: "Weld and continent selling and lack of spot demand caused decline here." Dallas wires: "Texas and Oklahoma generally clear and pleasant; cloudy at San Antonio." McFadden, Wenrnan. Marsh and Guild bought March; Schill and Gwathmey sold; Lee. Schill, Mitchell and Rothschild bought December: Stack, Sedenberg, Guild and Cohen sold. The Journal of Commerce reports a fair and average trade among dry goods job bers. Primary cotton goods maikets are .steadier in consequence of the slight up ward turn in raw cotton. Buying of print cloths smaller. Many cotton yarn spinners in the South have work enough ahead for three months. The heavy selling of Riordan, Gwath mey. McGhee, Rosenberg and Rothschild sold the market off today during the early trading. Meridian weather ideal: moisture suf- ' ficient: ravages of boll weevil increase as I crop advances; crop about 70 per cent <>f | last year. Birmingham, Ala., wires: ‘‘Crops in tliis section would be magnificent if it | were middle of July instead of August. i Shreveport, Texas, wires: "Reliable* party in office from just across Texas line says that 5,000 boll weevil were found yesterday in two acres. Such reports are on the increase." Hood He.rnie & Co., Liverpool, cable as follows: "Manchester accounts are fa vorable. There is no demand for spots: spinners have bought freely lately, and we expect they will now fall back on their stocks and take less than their consump tion. \\ e have unfavorable opinion of market until half crop marketed." NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 16. Hayward & ( lark: 'The map shows splendid weather; cloudy in south Texas and Atlantics; fair elsewhere; light showers in north central and northeastern part of belt; good rains in North Carolina, whe’re needed; tem perature normal. Indications are for fur ther rains in North Carolina, where they do much good; part cloudy in Atlantics: cloudy in west and south Texas, with bet ter prospects for rain there over Sunday. Generally fair central states and Ala bama. .East Texas wires following: “Cater pillars doing serious damage in this sec tion." The statement giving the movement at interior towns for the week so far does not give one place that has more receipts for the week than last year. Houston receives more cotton today than last year. Receipts today, 9,023. against 8,839 last year. Brenham has this week 1,470. against 839 last year: Dallas has a new bale, also Palestine. It was rumored that rain had fallen at Victoria and Markham in south Texas. New Orleans Times-Dernocrat 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, and will make no more cotton than last year, while the crop in the At lantic states must be much below’ last year’s freak yield, which resulted from a complete combination of extraordinarily favorable condidons. Consumption 1912- 1913 will probabfr equal that 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. Au gust cotton is holding above a parity with the later deliveries, a fact which has no beating on the size of the crop or the season’s requirement; there is no active demand for September or October ship ments and exporters are more worried over lack of business of that character than they are over possible lack of cot ton in August; rains in Texas and Okla homa practically assure a crop in those states of between six and seven-million bales, present indications point morfe di rectly toward waning trade than toward expanding trade."

By CHARLES W. STRONG. NEW YORK. Aug. 16. —After having touched 283. the highest mark in its his tory, Canadian Pacific was off 1% at the opening of tbe stock market today. The general tone was irregular with some is sues showing good gains and others under pressure. Profit-taking in London was held responsible for the increase in Ca nadian Pacific here. This stock opened in New York at after closing last night at 281 Later it rallied to 280%. Tile following other gains were scored iat the outset: Amalgamated Copper %, I Fmelting %, Atchison %, Lehigh Valley j Missouri Pacific %, Southern Railway %. Among the losses were United States j Steel %, Reading-1, Union Pacific : i» and I Southern Pacific 1 J; Erie common was I unchanged. Much of the pressure here was held to be due to profit-taking. The curb was quiet. Americans in London after rallying turned heavy. The stock market was active but irreg ular in the late forenoon. Union Pacific declined %. Louisville and Nashville Canadian PacificllB," 8 , Utah Copper %, General Electric %, Pennsylvania ad vanced % and Smelters %. Business quieted down considerably in the late afternoon and price movements in the leading issues were confined to small fractions.
