LONGS LUTE Longs 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 owning in the cotton market to day. Prices were net unchanged 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 in 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 marked too thin to lake the load. The price of old crops declined In sen sational manner. With declines as high as 2. 3 and 5 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. Following are 11 a. m. bids 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 show'ers 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 Atlantic's. 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 tilled. 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 hales to-<!uy Overnight rain ill Oklahoma was 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 week were 174,000. A favorable com parison is looked for. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

MEMPHIS, July 24 Apprehensions of drouth are now effectually relieved, ex cept as trt 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, as few are willing to go long in the face of excellent prospects, while recent scare on drouths eliminated the short In terest and removed buying from the market General rains in the Southwest would probably be the signal for a fur ther break. COTTON GOSSIP The leading feature of the market to day was the weakness of August, which was aid to be on selling by Liverpool undoing straddles, and liquidation in that month by scattered longs l^ocal professionals sold VMtWdiy on predic tions of rains over Western belt und the failure of rains to materialise, causing covering this morning, and prevented new crop from sympathising more with the decline in the aold. It Is purely a weather market. Crop reports continue good and rains Just now where they are needed would naturally Increase thtv 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 I 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, hut later sold August. Wilson and Schill 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 A 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 Sta.es, 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 * * * 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 thA 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% 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. In 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.” • * • 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 broji^ht adtiYe selling hv those who pur chased on the early map. failing to show rains In the West, and prevented a sharp advance in new cropr, which was evid ent during the lat j 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 he looked for! It is purely a weather market and will be governed accordingly. Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean says; “It was the gossip of the wheat trade last night that as long as the export busl 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 cun 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-dav will make 30 and 35 bushels and both Whetstone and Red Valleys will make better than average ” • m * Lyle wires Chapin A Co. from New ton. Kans., July 23; “After hearing funeral sermons in Kansas City over the Kansas corn crop. I was not much surprised on coming over here to find the corpses very miK-h alive, judging from observation With early r«-11* k it is possible for Kansas to raiRe 76 per cent. Damage very much exaggerated; may be worse where I have not been.
