HAYWARD & CLARK'S 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.

Early trade was moderate. corn was %c to %<■ lower on increases offerings and continued fine weather for the growing crop. Oats were a shade better on shorts buying. Provisions were unsettled at the open ing, notwithstanding the fact that hogs, were steady to a shade lower. Wheat closed firm in tone today with final prices l%c higher for September, about 1 cent better on December and % to %c up on May. Firm cables, less bear ish figures on the government report thar had been anticipated, coupled with thr fact that the. market was in an oversold condition, were the strengthening factors There was considerable selling on the bulge. Shorts were the best buyers Final prices were near the top of the day Minneapolis reported big sales of flour foi export. Corn- closed with prices ranging from % to l%c lower. There was considerable liquidation during the day. Oats were firmer than the other graint early but reacted later. Final prices ranged unchanged to %c higher. Provisions were lower.

REPORT BEARISH Ohl 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 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 be enough loss to 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 technical!}’ 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. t HICAGO.
