COTTON DROPS IIS
LONGS LUTE
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. l*ater weakness developed
!i} the old crop positions, due chiefly to
liquidation of foreign 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 orops 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 98 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. Ijate
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.

| The leading feature of the market to-
i day was the w-eakness of August, which
was said to be on selling by Liverpool
I undoing straddles, and liquidation in
I that month by scattered longs. Local
j 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
tiie 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 in 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 Hchill also sold August.

cloudy in the south, clear In the west,

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
last night. Indications- are more pro
nounced for more extensive rains in
North Texas and Oklahoma. Showery
weather in the central belt.
* m *
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "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 u 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, i.j 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."

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 24 —The map
show’s 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
Atlantlcs. Temperatures in north Texas
rose as usual before a rainy spell and
the 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 (he 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 hales
to-day. Overnight rain in Oklahoma
w’as shown on the Government official
records.
The into-sight for the week looks
around 30.000, against 30,428 bales last
year. Mill takings Iasi year for this
w’eek were 174,000. A favorable com
parison is looked for.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ooean says: "It
was the gossip of the wheat trade last
night that as long as the export busi
ness oontinues large prices are not like
ly to decline a great deal, if any, fragi
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."
• • •
Rartlett 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 tlie 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; narvest will
begin next week. Occasional plant with
black rust can be found In nearly any
field, but 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 SO and
35 bushels and both Whetstone and Red
Valleys will make better than average."

'BUYING
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
68% 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.
Spectilative liquidation caused a loss
of a point in American Can. Canadian
Pacific was off % ; Mexican Petroleum,
%; American Smelting ws up %, and
Southern Pacific %. Selling pressure
against Canadian Pacific was evident
in the I^ndon 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%,
and strength prevailed In New Haven,
which recovered Its early loss, selling
again above 100. Fractional improve
ments were noted in Canadian Pacific,
Steel, Reading, Union Pacific and Mis
souri Paeific. The tone a few minutes
before midday continued strong. Call
money loaning at 2%.

STOCK GOSSIP
It is announced that the sharehold

• * •
The most Important of the matprlng
obligations of the New Haven is the
$40,000,000 of one-year 5 per cent notes
sold last November and falling due De
cember 1. These notes were issued for
returning and equipment purposes.
Next February the New Haven will
have to redeem $5,000,000 of 4 per cent
debentures. President Mellen said that
the balance would be fresh capital to
complete the electrification of the road

The New York Financial Bureau says:
"The foreign situation Is showing im
provement. A. C. P. sells ex-div. to
morrow. Information channels are dis
posed to favor a trading position."
* * *
The stock market may be inclined to
be reactionary this morning, but do not
expect more than a moderate recession.
Would buy stocks on uny weakness.
The copper situation looks as if the
metal would sell higher and as if A.
O. P. and the balance of coppers would
advance.—T. D Potter.

CHICAGO, July 24.—Weaker cables
and favorable weather in the spring
wheat country were the influences,
which forced wheat % to %c lower at
the opening. Liverpool showed a frac
tional decline and rains were reported
in Russia and Argentina. Northwestern
receipts were moderate, but they ex
ceeded those of last year.
Offerings of corn in the pit were
smaller at the opening and values had
an advance of % to %.
Oats followed in the footsteps of corn,
showing a gain of %e to %c. at the open
ing.
The advance of 5c in the price of hogs
at the yards had little effect on provision
values early in the day. the feeling ar.d
the trend of values bfeing somewhat
easier. Trade was light and uninter

MILLER-COTTER COTTON LETTER.
MEMPHIS, July 24.—Apprehensions of
drouth are now effectually relieved, ex
cept as to portion of central and west-
ern Texas. This means that the crop
will enter August In excellent condi
tion.
Weakness in the market Is due to
absence of buyers when sellers appear,
ar, few are willing to go long in the
fare of excellent prospects, while recent
scare on drouths eliminated the short In
terest and i amoved buying from the
market. General rains in the Southwest
would probably be the signal for a fur
ther break.
