Atlanta Markets LONGS LIQUIDATE Bulls Unload July-August When Liverpool Sells—Weather and Crop News Bearish, NEW YORK, July 24 —The absence of rain in Texas and Oklahoma led to a steady opening in the cotton market to day. Prices were net unenanged to 5 points higher on the old crop positions and unchanged to 4 points decline on distant months. Immediately after the opening scattered buying by shorts dom inated the market, resulting in prices rallying some 3 to 6 points from the initial level. Later weakness developed in the old crop positions, due chiefly to liquidation of Yireign accounts. The sudden wave of liquidation of long ac counts by prominent brokers, including many spot interests, found the market too thin to take the load. The price of old crops declined In sen sational manner. With declines as high as 2, 3 and 6 points between sales, July soon dropped 20 points, while August lost 31 points from the previous close. - The weakness in the old crops had lit tle effect on the new crop months, which only declined 3 to 6 points. It Is now believed that a large short interest is existing in later positions. The Government made additions to the weather maps, showing some rains over night in Oklahoma and good prospects for more general rains in Texas and Oklahoma during the next 48 hours. The official records show temperature aver age in Oklahoma is !*8 degrees and in Texas from 100 to 106 degrees. This brought active selling by those who pur chased on the early map, failing to show rains in the West, and prevented a sharp advance in new crops, which was evi dent during the late forenoon. I^ate positions sympathized with the decline in old months. Sentiment regarding the cotton market continues bearish and if further rains should come, which are predicted, a further decline should be looked for. It Is purely a weather market and will be governed accordingly. Following are 11 a. m. btds in New York: July, 11.88; August, 11.65; Oc tober, 11.33; January, 11.22.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 24.—The map shows fair weather in central and south Texas and the Carolinas; cloudy else where; some showers in northwest Texas and Oklahoma. Good rains in Arkansas, Louisiana. Mississippi, Ala bama, Tennessee and western Georgia. There are indications for rain in north Texas and Oklahoma and further show ers in the central States; clearing in the Atlantics. Temperatures in north Texas rose as usual before a rainy spell and tlie weather Is cooler. Liverpool was poor at the first, but rallied on an unfavorable report on west Texas from a prominent traveling crop reporter. The report merely showed the need of rain, which need is about to be filled. There was some buying here at the opening on Cordill’s report, but the con spicuous weakness of August in New York, suggesting hedge selling, and a Government forecast for showers and thunderstorms and cooler in north Texas, soon caused easiness. October selling first to 11.37, later to 11.32. Cuero, Texas, received four new bales to-day. Overnight rain in Oklahoma was sljown on the Government official records. The into-sight for the week looks around 30.000, against 30,428 bales last year. Mill takings last year for this week were 174,000. A favorable com parison is looked for.

Wo think it will be a Would buy on weak- | The leading feature of th© market to- I day was the weakness of August, which } was said to be on selling by Liverpool undoing straddles, and liquidation in that month by scattered longs Local professionals sold yesterday on predic- | tions of rains over Western belt and the failure of rains to materialize, causing covering this morning, and prevented new crop from sympathizing more with the decline in the old. It is purely a weather market. Crop reports continue good and rains just now where they' are needed would naturally increase the bearish feeling.—J. M. Anderson. • • • “I can not help but feel that the Gov ernment condition report will be bull ish. A large crop of cotton is needed, with all information that 1 can get, I believe In higher prices before any ma terial decline, and unless weather con ditions show’ a great improvement in the next few’ weeks, cotton will sell much higher.”—S. Tate. *“ * * • The absence of rain m Texas was the incentive for buying around the opening The feeling is that there were large lines of longs liquidated. Mitchell was apparently the best buyer on the ad vance. but later sold August. Wilson and Schill also sold August. * * * Dallas w’ires: “Texas—Panhandle, cloudy in the south, clear in the west, partly cloudy; no rain. Oklahoma—Part ly cloudy.” * * * NEW ORLEANS, July 24.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map is favorable. It shows fair over the Carolinas and Central and South Texas. Cloudy over the rest of the belt. Fine rains In Ar kansas, Central States. Alabama, Ten nessee, parts of Georgia, and some show ers in Northwest Texas yesterday and iast night. Indications are more pro nounced for more extensive rains in North Texas and Oklahoma. Showery weather In the central belt. * * * The New Orleans Tjmes- Democrat savs: “Liverpool reported smaller spot sales. Manchester cabled that cloths were dull and yarns hard to sell. The weather map revealed splendid rains east of the Mississippi River and the map reads unsettled conditions over the greater part of Texas. With these fac tors as a starter, the American ring prepared for a price recession on the day’s trading and scored one in the nat ural course of events. July New Orleans again held the center of the stage, be cause all of the trailers, on the long side had not liquidated The result was a further sharp readjustment, l.i which the spot article played a part. “The talent as a whole now seems satisfied the crop is progressing toward a large yield. Rains In Texas In the near future will go a long way toward confirming such a belief. In that State, dry, hot weather has probably’ done far more good In the destruction of weevils than harm to the plant, which, as a rule, possesses a sturdy tap root and is well limbed. “In recent years the Texas farmer has profited by’ the Government’s experi ments and has steadily Improved his cultural methods.” Miller & Co.: weather market Norden & Co. ness. Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean say’s: “It was the gossip of the wheat trade last night that as long as the export busi ness continues large prices are not like ly to decline a great deal. If any, from present levels. In the last three days export sales aggregate more than 2,000,- 000 bushels, mostly hard winter. “Corn continues to be a weather mar ket." * • • Bartlett Frazier & Co.: “Wheat—We look for a comparatively narrow mar ket. "Corn—We are Inclined to feel that anxious longs have liquidated and that the market should rule fairly steady to day’. “Oats—As In corn, there was good deal of liquidation yesterday and considerable short selling by locals. Threshing re turns on the whole continue to show poor out-turns. “Provisions—Pork Is holding steady. Shipments of lard and meats continue to exceed those of last year.” * * * B W. Snow wires from Fargo. N. D.: “Wheat cutting has begun in Northern counties. Crop through Grant and Rob erts Counties above average in South part of Red River Valley, harvest will begin next week. Occasional plant with black rust can be found In nearly any field, hut nothing more than is present each year. Weather and plant growth to date make it practically certain there would be no serious outbreak. Lots of wheat seen to-day will make 30 and 35 bushels and both Whetstone and Red Valleys will make better than average." * * • Rainfall and temperature: Canadian Northwest clear, 48 to 68; Minnesota, 01; Northwest, 50 to 60, clear; West, 55 to 65. part cloudy; Davenport, .04; Peor ia, .02; Chicago, 11; Southwest, 62 to 82, part cloudy; Dodge City. 01; Kansas City, .60; Springfield, Mo., raining, 05; St Louis, .12; Ohio Valey, cloudy, 70 to 74; Indianapolis, 12; Evansville, .42; Cincinnati. .15, raining.

SENDS STOCKS DP Strength of Coppers and Steel Has Stimulating Effect—Situ ation Getting Better. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK. July 24.—Although news developments were of a ravorable char acter, price movements were generally to lower levels at the opening of the stock market to-day. The copper stocks failed to respond to improved trade con ditions, Amalgamated yielding % to 08% and about the same amount of loss was sustained in Reading and Union Pacific. New Haven declined % to 99%, a new low record for the present move ment. Speculative liquidation caused a loss of a point in American Can. Canadian Pacific w’as off %; Mexican Petroleum, %; American Smelting wb up %, and Southern Pacific Vi. Selling pressure against Canadian Pacific was evident in the London market, where trading was irregular. American railway shares held above par. however. The curb was steady. The tone after the first few minutes bettered Itself and was noticed espe cially In the copper shares and In sev eral of the Industrials. Amalgamated Copper advanced early one point to 69*4, and strength prevailed in New Haven, w’hleh recovered its early loss, selling again above 100. Fractional improve ments were noted in Canadian Pacific, Steel. Reading, Union Pacific and Mis souri Pacific. The tone a few minutes before midday continued strong. Call money loaning at 2%.
