Geer, Lone, Pearsall, Gifford sold the market down today after an early advance. New Orleans is said to be a seller; also Mem- ; phis. There was no support to the mar- : ket; only profit-taking by shorts. ft Is rumored on the floor that the Na tional Ginners’ report will be 76. Following is trom Cordill: “From Au gusta, Ga., 'o Greenwood and Greenville. S. and Spartanburg. N. C., crops are very good. The A tian tics show' general improvement since the last trip. Crops | have been lald-by clean and continue fruiting well, though much of it is still ' small and late. General rains would be, beneficial in the Carolinas, but none of the crops are suffering as yet. The. weather has been generally favorable for the past five weeks.” Dallas wires: “Texas -Western, north- . e*’’ and panhandle generally clear; bal- j ance generally cloudy and pleasant Ok- . lahoma Generally clear and cool." McGhee. Carpenter. McCabe and Weld ■ brokers and McElroy and Gifford have bought sonu- cotton today, while Schley.' Gwathmey. Hubbard w’ere best sellers. Guild, Wilson and Lester bought March, 1 while Geer. Hubbard and Pearsall sold. Following are 1,1 a. m bids: October 1 11.22, December 11.22. January 11.23,1 March 11.35. | NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23.—-Hayward & , Clark: The weather map shows excellent ' condition, fair in north Texas. Oklahoma, i Arkansas, north Louisiana and north i Mississippi. Generally cloudy in south I ami central Texas and eastern states. Good rains at Taylor, showers in south Texas, lower central and eastern states. Good rains in North Carolina. Indications are for unsettled weather, more rain . in central and south Texas, cloudy and scattered showers in the eastern states; generally fair in the northwestern quar ter of the belt. Galveston has received to August 22 73.461 new bales. Austin. Tex., wires “Three-fourths of an Inch rain up to noon, good rains in Temple and Taylor. More than 1 inch at Hancock: fair rain in San Marcos, big re lief in this section." Telegraph companies show some rain in south and central Texas. Big rain at Cameron, south central Texas: threaten ing in San Antonio and Galveston Port Gibson. Miss., reports first bale long staple cotton; only two da's later than last year Clinton, La., received Its first bale today The New Orleans Times Democrat says: Nobody got any satisfaction out of yes terday'h cotton market. Georgia came in as a competitor of the early sellers of Texas, making a big splash w’ith a very few bales. Liverpool sent European weather advices that might have served bullish correspondents In Texas High ocean freight rates and the sold-up con dition of fre’ght agents’ hooks again played a part in the day’s gossip Profes sional crop reporters kept the mills and th? wires busy telling their principals how bad the Texas crop condition is. The spot markets continue toward lower I levels, but contracts are still well below a parity. Under the circumstances, neither factions found reason to cheer. In the opinion of some deep students of the market at the drift, values will be shaped solely by the state of trade and the promise thereof, because, they say, even should the crop prove all that con servative bears expect, the yield will hardly exceed 14.250,000. which, in a good trade year, as such things are now gauged, would not be too much. The market is paying little attention to the rumor that the National Ginners will report condition around 76 The prevailing opinion here is that the bureau report will show several points under last year's August conditions. Sellers are scarce, short covering continues and ti»e market is steady. Estimated receipts Saturdav; 1912. 1911.

The market looks low enough, especially with large consumption in sight at these prices. Morris H. Rothschild & Co.: We look for a trading market between now and i the bureau report. ■ Stemberger. Sinn & Co.. We prefer to bu.v on good reactions. Miller Co.: We maintain our opti mistic views on the market. J. S.
