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. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: July, 11.88; August, 11.65; Oc tober, 11.33; January, 11.22.

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. • • • Dallas wires: "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 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." Closed steady. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

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.

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%.
