HAYWARD <SL CLARK’S 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. PORT RECEIPTS.

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. Fblowing are 10 a. m. bids: October 11.34.

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.” GOVERNMENT WEEKLY REPORT ON WEATHER WASHINGTON.
