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. RANGE IN NEW OR LEANS FU TURES. i I o i'O! 1 0 O X J y LU Sept.

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.” LIVE STOCK MARKET.
