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.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S 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. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES, c I x I .

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. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
