NEW YORK, Aug 23.—Carpenter, Bag
got Co.: Gwathmey, Hicks. Jr., Geer,
('one, 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- i
ket; only profit-taking by shorts.
It is rumored on the floor that the Na- •
tional (Tinners' report will be 76.
Following is from Cordill: "From Au- j
gusta, Ga., to Greenwood and Greenville. ;
S c., and Spartanburg. N. C-, crops are (
very good The show general
improvement since the last trip. Crops ’
hav< be£i laid )-• 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 j
weather has been generally favorable for j
the past five weeks."
Dallas wires: "Texas- Western, north- |
orn and panhandle generally clear; bal- ;
anco generally cloudy and pleasant ok- i
lahoma Generally clear and cool."
McGhee. Carpenter. McCabe and Weld i
brokers an<l McElroy and Gifford have
bought some cotton today, while Schley,

(■’lark: The weather map shows excellent!
condition, fair In north Texas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas, north Louisiana and north I
Mississippi Generally, cloudy in souith ■
and central Texas and eastern states. !
(Jood 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.
Tetnph and Tayloi Mora than ’ inch at I
Hancock; fait rain in San Marcos big re
lief in this section."
Telegraph companies show some rain ;
l in south and central Texas. Big rain at ;
Cameron, south central Texas; threaten-!
ing in San Antonio and Galveston
Port Gibson, Mi. . reports first bale*
long staple cotton; onlj two dajs later
than last year. Clinton. La . received its i
first bale t<<lay
The Neu Orleans Times Democrat says: |
Nobody got any satisfaction out of yes- >
terday s cotton market. Georgia came in ;
as a competitor <>( the early sellers of,
Texas, making a big splash with a very .
few bales. Liverpool sent European j
weather advices that might have served i
bullish correspondents in Texas. High :
ocean freight rates and the sold-up eon- i
dilion of freight agents’ books again j
played a part in the day’s gossip. Profes
sional crop repotters kept the mills and j
the win • busy telling their principals j
how bad the Texas crop condition is. j
The spot markets continm- toward lower
levels, but contracts are still well below j
a parity Under the circumstances,
neither factions found reason to cheer. |
In the opinion of some deep students of <
the irfarket at the drift. values will be i
shaped solely by the stale of trade and j
the promise thereof, because, they’ say, j
even should the crop prove all that con
servative bears expect, the y ield will l
hardly exceed 14,250,(100, which, in a good >
trade year, as such things are now\|
gauged, would not be ico much.
The market is paying little attention!
to the rumor that the National Glnners |
will report condition around 76. The ,
prevailing opinion here is that the bureau ]
report will show several point* under last '
year’s August conditions. Sellers are
scarce, short covering continues and the
market is steady.

Market Inclined to Stand Still
at Prevailing Prices to Await
Further Developments.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady today. First
[•rices were 3 to 6 points off. Report of .
a prominent southerner claiming improve- •
ment in crop conditions in Atlantic <wast
slates caused selling The weather map ’
was fairly satisfactory. Cables were i
without much feature At the end of 15 |
minutes the tone had improved and a
general buying wave prevailed, which re
sulted in prices advancing 5 points in
most active positions.
The market has been very quiet during
today's session There was short cover
ing early, but offerings were so liberal
that the demand from shorts showed no
stimulating effect whatever upon the
market Cable and weather reports re
flected nothing but bearish sentiment upon
the staple and cotton was for sale on ral
lies. Larfee spot interests. Memphis and
New Orleans, were reported to be sellers
here The market was shown no support
only at times when shorts taken profit
The Waldorf crowd and Wall street
bought, but this had no depressing effect
and prices during the afternoon session
were practically unchanged from the
opening prices The market in all prob
ability will show only small fluctuation
until the bureau report to be issued Sep
tember 3.
At the close the market was steady
with prices I to 3 points above the final
figures of Thursday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
N I ORLEANS, Aug 23 Liverpool
is not good, showing futures about 4
points lower than due, spots sales only
5,000. at 2 points decline. Weather devel
opments over night were again very fa
vorable. Good rains occurred in central
and south Texas, fair weather prevailed
in the northwestern quarter of the belt;
showers were rather general In the rest
of the belt. Indications are for more rain
in central and south Texas, fair In north
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, part
cloudy with scattered showers elsewhere.
The market opened a few points easier,
but showed from the start the same re
serve which has been its characteristic
during the past few days. Sellers are
scarce and the disposition is to cover in
consequence of anticipation of a bullish
bureau report owing to the lateness of
the cron.
Spot business continues disappointing;
the demand is not what it was this time
last year. Mills are either in a position
to wait or business is.hampered by high
freights. Last year the demand was so
brisk the basis was little considered. At
present what demand there is Is exacting
as to details.

After the call the market was dull and i
featureless and prices in most active posi- !

the weather map indicated some disturb- ,
ance which caused some hesitancy among
traders to sell and prices shown a tend- 1

GRAIN.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—Wheat was
higher early today on the strength m the
markets of the old world which was
brought about by continued wet weather
and unfavorable crop conditions in Russia
and England. Shorts were buyers in this
market. The smaller supply of cars in
the United States, will, it is feared, cur
tail the movement of new wheat.
Corn was up at the opening and
this was well held on shorts covering.
oats were higher and strong.
Provisions were fractionally lower, al
thougs hogs were a shade higher.

Early Decline Regained in Late
Trading—Offerings Quickly
Taken by Big Interests.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23. —A better tone in
the leading railroad and industrial stocks
was shown at the opening of the stock
market today. Fractional advances were
recorded in a number of those securities
Among the advances were United States
Steel common, Amalgamated Copper %.
Union Pacific % and LehigU Valley.
United States Steel preferred opened %
off at 112%. American Smelting was un
changed at 86%. Erie common was sold
heavily, losing 1%. American Telephone
and Telegraph was regarded with special
interest because of the rumor of apparent
purpose of the department of justice to
proceed against this corporation as a
monopoly. This stock declined to 144%.
The curb was slow.
Americans in London were unstable
Canadian Pacific there rallied.
The stock market during the forenoon
was reported quiet, hut steady. Trading
was small The general list showed frac
tional changes either way. The copper
stocks showed more strength
Trading in the general list was ex
tremely quiet in the late afternoon with
most of the price movements confined to
small fractions There was a brisk de
mand for Amalgamated, while some of
the specialties were bought rather heav
ily.
The market closed firm; governments
firm; other bonds steady.
