DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept- 10.—The weath
er map shows favorable changes over
night. t’loudy in west and south Texas.
Alabama and the Atlantic's; raining at
several points in Alabama and in the
eastern states; generally fair elsewhere.
No danger so far from the disturbance in
the Gulf, but a large cool wave approach
ing from the north, which will give gen
eral showers and cooler weather over the
western and central states.
Liverpool came in easier than expected
and quoted spots 8 points lower. The
market lost about 12 points in the early
trading on favorable weather indications,
but anticipation of a bullish weekly
weather report at 11 o’clock checked the
decline This report is expected to make
mention of the dry and hot conditions
which prevailed during the past week in
the. central and western states.
The weekly weather report was bullish
as expected. Outside of Georgia, where
the drouth is reported as broken, the re
ports say temperatures were 2 to 3 de
grees above normal, and a genera] rain
is badly needed.
The market recovered all of the early
loss and is waiting around last night's
closing prices for further weather de
velopments.

Texas: fair elsewhere. Showers and
rainy conditions in Alabama and Atlantic
states. Indications for increasing cloudi
ness and general showers; cooler weather
coming in western and central states; no
danger from disturbance.
Shreveport, La., wires: “Reports of de- .
terioration continue to come in from this
section. Farmers now estimate 65 to 75
per cent of last year.”
Mobile. Ala., wires; “One steamboat
brought in 700 new bales from Alabama
river this morning.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat says;
Too much cotton turned up in the gin
nings prior to September 1 for the peace
of mind of the bull faction, and changing
opinion as to the crop promise shifted
confidence of the bullish reports from the
fields to the bearish advices. Conse
quently the 13,000,000-hale crop people be
gan to consider the possibility of 14.000,000
bales, the 14-000.000-bale people began to
wonder if after all 15.000,000 are not pos
sible. and the 15.000.000-bale people began
to talk 16,00,000 bales with the zeal of the
advocate. The ginning figures do not
prove the presence of a monster yield, as
such things as now reckoned, but they
cvrtainly shift the burden of proof from
the shoulders of the big crop people to
the shoulders of the moderate cron fac
tion. and the world will be more and more
Inclined to beleive the growth of 1912 will
approach nearer the yield figures of 1911
than those of 1910 and spinners may be
expected to be influenced thereby insofar
as their needs will permit. In other words
the ginning figures posted Yesterday
have seemingly swung the balance of
thought to the big from the small side of
14.000,000 bales as the probable yield from
the growth of 1012, and the talenl now
expects sentiment to combine with weight
of actual cotton in bringing about a lowrer
level of value. Under the circumstances
re-analysis of the recent reports from the
fields strikes the average professional as
in order at this time.

U. S. REPORT BEARISH ON
GRAIN. SAYS INTER-OCEAN
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—The ' Inter-Occan
says:
"Contrary tn expectation, the govern O
ment report showed 10.000,000 bushels less
wheat than generally figured on, although
the estimate of 300.000.000 bushels of
spring wheat was confirmed. The trade,
however, considered the report bearish.
The report on other grains was also con
sidered bearish, especially on corn and
oats, as new records were set. and even
with bad weather ther ecan not he enough
loss 10 bring the crop under the previous
high marks. In the seven corn states
there is an increase of 240,000,000 bushels
over last year, which is regarded as bear
ish by most traders, but technically the '
situation in regard to cash corn makes
bears slow about selling the near futures
Oats specialists regarded the strength
yesterday as only technical and due to an
oversold condition of the cash market for
September shipment and to the taking of
hedges.”
SNOW BEARISH ON
GOVERNMENT WHEAT REPORT
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. -Snow savs: Gov
ernment condition figures on July 1 indi
cated a winter wheat yield of 13.9 bushels
per acre, but preliminary threshing re
turns on August 1 showed 15.1, or 1.2
bushels above indications. Next month
the threshing returns for spring wheat
and oats will show same result. Spring
wheat will gain more than a bushel ami
oats nearly five. My threshing returns
to date insure tiiis result just as they
forecasted the advance in winter wheat
yields.”
