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.

NEW YORK, July 30.—The feature during the first fifteen minutes of trad ing on the Stock Exchange to-day was the first sale at 59% of United States. c _ steel common. This showed a net gain I s . 3 ’ A"™*® 1 \ A r L an „ sa , s 8 , 8 ,V 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 market closed dull.

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 week was placed at more than 5,000,000 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.
