N FA\ )<»RK. \ug. 20.—Although the I
.cotton market was quiet today at the
■ opening with first prices ranging from '
unchanged to 3 points above the final J
, figures of Monday. the bulls imtne- j
' dtately introduced aggressive sup- »
. port which caused prices to advance 7
Ito 9 points from the early range. The
n ovement was most lx based on lack of
rain in Texas. Weather predictions oi
I ’ain within 24 hours in Texas offset the
effect of rhe bull movement and the ef
buyers to uncover big linos
failed. The selling for New Orleans ae
co},Pt wiped oui part of the advance.

■expected today at the opening, hut later
| developed a steady tone and followed
i our advance moderately. During the
afternoon trading the market developed!
i 1 ®J tone with the Waldorf erow’d

covering and prices showed a tendency
to work back to the high levels made
during the early session. Some spot de*
mand was reported, which is believed
to be stimulating the market Anticlpa '
ttons are that If spinners come into the
market prices will easily respond, as the.'
usually do when spinners put in an ap

During the last hour of trading the
i market weakened on the weekly govern

mg there was evidence of some of the
<ld bulls buying a little cotton which
.< used short covering, bringing about a
I few points advance. While there is lit
i tie spot demand heard of. in a general
I way. some of the spot houses sax- spni
i ne ™ are buying on the decline.
lhe course of the market at the m<»-
I mem depends on whether mills are will-
• ing to buy around present prices or await
• further developments over the belt with
I prospects of buying at a lower level.
The Waldorf crowd have been good buy-
• ers today and there is some spot demand
I reported, which is stimulating market.
I rhe Journal of Commerce states that
transactions were reported yesterday in
print cloths at concessions of l-16c to %c.
but the quantities involved were not con
sidered large enough to establish new
basis of value
Calles was the largest buyer after the
opening. Parrot bought August Leh
man sold. Schill. Hentz bought Septem
ber. Lehman .sold. Flinn, Wiggin. Schill i
bought Hentz. Mitchell sold.
Mitchell was the best buyer during the,
morning session. Castles. Gwathmay. '
Schill were best sellers.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug 20 Hayward &
Clark: The weather may shows cloudy
in south ’Fexas. west Texas and North
Carolina. Eair elsewhere; s«»me showers
in south Texas. Few’ isolated showers in
rest of the belt Temperatures lower in
Oklahoma and northwest Texas. Weather
very favorable. Indications are for un
settled, cooler and rain coming on western
states- in near future. Cool wave ap
proaching, also rain indicate*! for North
Carolina Partly cloudy to fair else
where.
Houston, Texas, receives 12,515 new
bales today against 6.138 last .'ear.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: over Sunday a little ra’n fell in
Texas ami cooler weather with rain is
promised in that state. Nevertheless the
contract rings encountered a distinct re
actionary spirit which suggested the pres
ence of a burdensome short interest and a
scarcity of speculative sellers. All of
which should interest the talent in view
of the bearishness of most operators, of
the relative strength of the actual stuff,
of the expanding new bale movement ami
of the scarcity of ocean freight room.
Either futures are too lbw for spots and
• must climb at least 50 points during the
near future, or spots are too high for fu
tures and the basis must break.
Bulls confident) expect pessimistic re
ports from the Atlantlcs within a day or
two. Bears expect rains and cooler
weather in Texas. Exporters seem to be
finding cotton enough for the filling of
their August commitments out of Galves
ton. but say that new’ business is danger
ous because of the high basis they must
now pay.
Dallas wires as follows: “Texas and
Oklahoma, generally clear ami warm.”

NEW YORK. Aug. 20. -Carpenter. Rag
got & (?o.: There was an easier tone in
• the cotton oil market this morning, al
though the volume of business was small.
. September sold at 6.64 on the curb yes
terday afternoon, but after opening at
6.53. declined to 6.51 under moderate
liquidation. Lard was lower, and while
the steadiness in cotton might have been
expected to exercise a steadying influence
on values, crude oil was said to be offer
ing more freely, and cotton crop ad
vices received by cotton oil houses were
considered favorable.

’i he coppers occupied a good position.
Amalgamated advancing from •V 1 to %c
and A'merican Smelting gaining from %c
%c. I’nited States Steel common
opened at 74. a gain of over Monday's

covered. Atchison opened unchanged, but
subsequent!) dropped % Erie common
