DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLDANS. Sept. 10.—The weath
er map shows favorable changes over
| night. Cloudy 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 slates.
Liverpool came in easier than expected
and quoted spots 8 points lower. The
market lost about 12 points in the earlv
trading on favorable weather indications,
but anticipation of a bullish weekly
weather report at 11 o’clock cheeked the
decline. This report is expected to make
mention of the dry and hot conditions
which prevailed during tlte 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 general 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.

U. S. REPORT BEARISH ON
GRAIN. SAYS INTER-OCEAN
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. 'The Inter-Ocean
says:
"Contrary to expectation, the govern
ment report showed 10.000,000 bushels less
wheat than generally figured on, although
the estimate ot 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 bud weather then ecan not be enough
loss to bring the crop under the previous
high marks. In the seven corn stales
there is an increase of 240,000,060 bushels
over last year, which is regarded as bear
ish by must traders.' but technically the
situation in regard to cash corn makes
bears slow about selling the near futures
Cats 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.”
