NEW YORK, July 30.—As there
was no rain in Texas over night nor
any immediate prospect of moisture,
according to the early weather map,
the cotton market opened rather ac
tive to-day, with first prices at a
net gain of 2 to 3 points, except May,
which was 4 points decline from
Tuesday’s final.
After the call a precipitant selling
movement, led by Wall street and the
Uptown crowd, sent the market back
to the lowest level of the month. July
was dumped on the market in a sen
sational manner, resulting in a rapid
decline 20 points from the Initial
level, which was 11.92; August
dropped 10 points to 11.56. Other po
sitions were heavily iliquidated and
displayed a net decline of 9 to 13
points.
Weather news not quite as bearish
as had been hoped for, but was con
sidered favorable; except in Texas,
where some private reports indicated
deterioration from the dry, hot
weather. This, however, was offset
as a bullish argument, when Okla
homa reported beneficial rainfall. In
addition to this a Liverpool cab!e
stated that spinners’ takings from
Liverpool were more freely, as stocks
are pretty well used up. On the
other land, Manchester is quiet, .as
India is not a free buyer and there
are troubles reported again In China,
which have caused orders for that
market to be canceled for the time.
This, together with a bearish circu
lar from F. M. Cordill on the condi
tion of North Mississippi and Ten
nessee crops promoted sufficient sell
ing to send the market back into the
lowest levels.
During the afternoon session the mar
ket developed a steady tone, through
active buying by the larger spot people
and covering by shorts. All positions
retrieved the entire early decline, except
July, which fluctuated narrowly around
11.<5. The buying w'as based on the
late detailed weather map. which failed
to show rains in Texas. This, together
, with the coming Bureau report, Friday,
T OT? A TIRR APV August 1, caused considerable hesitancy
\J X on p ar t 0 f those inclined to the bear
side.
At the close the market was very
steady with prices unchanged to 4 points
higher, except July, which w'as 10 points
lower than the final quotations of Tues
day.

The market was bought early on
steady cables and private reports of
some deterioration in the Western belt,
but became easy later on selling by
Wall street and uptown crowd. There
has been considerable evening-up In
July to-day, but was traceable to no
special Interests, as the trading In this
option was in small lots and scattered.
There are no rains shown on the map in
the Western belt, and this Is causing a
hesitancy on the part of these inclined
to the bear side to sell lust now. How
ever, a narrow market fa looked for un
til after the Government report Is out
of the way.—J. M. Anderson.
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal con
dition report for month of July shows
average of 82.1, against Government
condition of 81.8 on July 3. By states:
Tennesse. 89, decrease 2 points from
July 3; Government report, Mississippi,
of over a point. The advance, however,
did not bring the issue here up to the
level established in London before the
opening in New York. In Europe the
stock was traded in on a large scale
above 60.
The traders said It was another case
of selling on good news and the realiz
ing was effective In preventing the price
here passing the London quotation.
The rest of the market displayed a
wavering tone. Prices as a rule were
generally above last night’s closing.
Trading In London was dull.
The curb market was steady.
After reducing the Illinois Central
dividend rate caused a sharp break in
that stock, quotations falling a point at
a time. In a few minutes the stock fell
from 113% to 107. This news had no
effect upon the other issues, the ma
jority remaining about unchanged.
Copper received the heaviest fall, de
clining % to 70%. Steel and Reading
were next, both dropping %. Canadian
Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio, Southern
Pacific and Northern Pacific declined %.
with California Petroleum, Lehigh Val
ley and New York Central remaining
unchanged.
Call money loaning at 2%.
Speculative sentiment continued in
creased by the reduction in the Illinois
Central dividend and that stock sold as
tow as 105%, as against 113% at yester
day’s close. Lack of support in other
issues encouraged the bearish element to
put out fresh lines of shorts. A number
of issues sustained further fractional
losses from midday levels.

The New York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition of
the cotton crops In Texas, Oklahoma
and Missouri:
"Texas—Continued drouth and high
temperatures are reported from nearly
all sections, and have lowered pros
pects somewhat from a month ago.
Sections that are still needing rain re
port shedding and stoppage of growth.
But, as one correspondent remarks, dry
weather and boll weevil don’t go far
together, and as a consequence, weevils
are doing very little damage. In dis
tricts w'here the rainfall relieved the
drouth cotton 1r generally of good size,
strong and healthy. Fields are well
cultivated, clean and labor plentiful.
Some sections are late, but as a rule,
no complaints are made of this feature.
"Oklahoma—The genral need of rain
has caused some deterioration from
month ago, when percentage condition
was 86 6. The plant is generally small,
but strong and healthy, well cultivated
and clean. Fruitage is generally good,
and the crop Is free from Insects. Many
sections have received the needed rain
fall and prospects are for a big crop.
"Missouri—Except for lack of rain in
some localities, the crop is in excellent
growing condition.”
• • •
Dallas wires: “Texas 'clear, rain at
Houston yesterday. Oklahoma clear.”
• • •
NEW ORLEANS, July 30—Hayward
& Clark: "The weather map shows
fair over Texas and Oklahoma. Cloudy
over the remainder of the belt; no rain
in the Western States; general rains
over East Mississippi, Alabama, West
ern Georgia and light showers In the
Memphis district. Indications are for
generally fair weather over the Western
States, except perhaps cloudy over Gal
veston coast districts, cloudy showery
In the Eastern and Central States.”
• • •
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "The cotton market presents a
small anomaly, a sort of forerunner of
what may be expected in the event
Congress shall strike the machinery of
of distribution a death blow with its
legislative club. America believes both
crop and the need will be large, that
the world can afford to pay current
values, and that, under normal condi
tions of supply and distribution, all
the cotton harvested In 1913-14 will
pass Into consumers’ hands at a splen
did profit to the farmer. But America
fears the Clarke stamp tax and is in
no humor.to enforce its price opinions
"On the’ other hand, continental Eu
rope believes that America will try out
the uneconomic desire of many people,
by making the Clarke stamp tax on
futures a law, and Europe knows full
well that the death of the American
future market will mean the resur
rection of consumers’ control over the
value of the raw material."
New high levels for all cereals.

The export business In wheat last

bushel*.

The Kansas City Star reports the
Kansas corn crop the worst since 1901,
when the crop was 62,000,000 bushels.
• * •
John Inglls Is reported estimating the
winter wheat crop at 475,000,000 bush
els; spring wheat 225,000,000 bushels, a
total of 700,000,000. He placed Canada’s
crop at 170,000,00 bushels against 205,-
000.000 last year.
* • •
According to Slement, Curtis & Co.,
the winter wheat yield Is about 500,-
000,000 bushels, spring wheat expecta
tions 230,000,000: corn condition 80,
promising a crop of 2,830,000,00 bushels,
or about the same as last year, but
prospects are on the decline, against
Improvements last year, Oats crop
about 1,000,000,00U bushels or 400,000,000
bushels under last year’s final.

J. G. Steever & Co., of Chicago, say
of provisions: "During last week Chi
cago packed 40,000 more hogs than the
same week last year, while Western
receipts were 88,000 larger; Chicago's
net out-movement of lard was 200,000
pounds, and of meats 4,000,000 pounds
larger than a year ago. Next week
135.000 hogs are expected but as last
week’s liberal run broke prices nearly
25 cents, a decrease from above esti
mates is probable. I-ast year’s receipts
were 46,2(3 and 130,651."
• • *
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "It
would not be surprising to the wheat
trade to see lower prices to-day. Should
corn advance, however, the talent may
be disappointed; with high tempera
tures over the Northwest, It might be
easy to get up a small crop scare. With
continued hot dry weather the com
crop Is expected to deteriorate and
there Is no telling how high prices may
go. The country has commenced to
back their bullish crop reports with
substantial buying orders, and they
have the market In hand to a great ex
tent.
"Patten is bullish and the Armour
Interests bearish. Oats specialists who
are bullish are looking for a sharp rise
in prices should corn continue to ad
vance. One local operator is credited
with buying one million bushels, mostly
December.

ing from Mattoon. Ills., say drouth still
continues. With the exception of a few
local showers, no rain her since April !

expected 10 pushels per acre. Late corn j
now only knee to waist high and firing
badly. Only a few fields of oats were
threshed and they yielded from 6 to 10
bushels per acre.

I think this 19 a good spot to buy
some corn. Local crowd have liquidated
on forecast of possible showers, but It
will take more than showers. Good,
soaking rain needed to make over a
2.7 crop.—Rycroft.
Local forecaster says showers are In
dicated for entire district to-night or
Thursday, except in Northwest portion,
where fair weather will prevail.
* * *
Bartlett Frazier Company says:
"Wheat map shows few scattered show
ers in Minnesota and North Dakota-
There was a good deal of local cover
ing yesterday, and the activity on
coarse grains has a tendency to further
restrict new speculative ventures in
wheat.
"Corn—No rains reported and yes
terday’s high temperatures are likely
to be repeated. We look for strong
market.
"Oats—There Is more outside buying,
being based on strength In corn, and
the belief that crop will turn out small
er than estimated a few w»-eks ago.
"Provisions—Outside buying In Jan
uary deliveries. noted Continued
strength in com is helping prices.”

MILLER-COTTER LETTER.
MEMPHIS, July 30.—Efforts to bull
cotton on dry weather in Texas have
failed. There are two reason.” One
is that the drouth has not yet attained
serious proportions, and the other that
everywhere else the crop is doing well
Forecast for unsettled weather over
Texas and Oklahoma was the basis
for some selling after the opening and
the market shows little rallying power.
