DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 10.—The weath
er map shows favorable changes over
flight. Cloudy in west and south Texas.
Alabama and the Atlantlcs; 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 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.

oversold condition of the cash market for
September shipment and to the taking of
hedges.”
