The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “A
bullish construction was placed on the
Government report on corn, while on
wheat it was bearish and on oats
mixed. Wheat bulls figure that it will
be hard to keep prices down, with corn
a failure west of the river and with a
great scarcity of feedstuffs in the States
of largest production.”

Bartlett, Frazier & Co. says:
“Wheat—Partly cloudy conditions,
with scattered light rains, are noted
this morning in the Northwest. There
was a little better demand yesterday,
with shipping sales in our market of
145,000 bushels, the seaboard reporting
fifteen loads for export. Yesterday’s
Government figures were about as ex
pected by the trade, and we doubt if
they prove any especially bearish in
fluence on prices.
“Corn—The weather map shows prac
tically no rain in the com belt, with
temperatures still high. The Govern
ment figures do not represent present
conditions, as since these figures w r ere
gathered the deterioration in the crop
as a whole has been very great.
“Oats—The Government figures rather
exceeded those generally looked for, both
as to the probable outturn of the pres
ent crop and supplies on hand from the
old. We are inclined to think, however,
that the showing returns during the
coming month may be of a character
such as to lower the total yield, as com
pared with the figures given yesterday.
“Provisions—Packers continue to buy
lard. Demand for January good. The
market is quiet and featureless at the
moment.”

PRICE OF era
Western Rains and Promise of
More Cause Heavy Sales.
Support Withdrawn.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—With the ex
ception of August, which opened 5 points
higher on covering, the cotton market
opened easier to-day with other options
at a net decline of 4 to 13 points from
Friday's final. On the opening the sell
ing was general on a few light showers
shown on the map over the western belt
and local weather people believed that
the barometers in the Southwest point
to showery conditions over Texas and
Oklahoma over Sunday. There was con
siderable selling by traders who went
long on dry weather talk yesterday.
Futures and spots In Liverpool were
quiet.
The buying was extremely light and
scattered, being confined mainly to a
few large spot houses.
The Government reports showed tem
peratures in Oklahoma yesterday aver
aged 104 degrees and Texas 98 degrees:
with fifteen stations 100. five 102, two
104 and one station 106 degrees.
As the session wore on the selling be
came heavy. Little or no support was
In evidence. The lack of substantial
buying power caused a further reaction
in values by dropping 7 to 18 points
under the opening quotations. Every
option established new low levels not
witnessed in many months. August was
as low as 11.57; September, 10.96; Octo
ber 10.92; December, 10.81, and January,
10.92. These declines failed to" "bring out
any fresh demand and the market closed
practically at the bottom, showing net
losses of 13 to 20 points from the final
quotations of Friday.

Device to Eliminate
Open Switch Danger
A test of the Shepard automatic
switch will be given at Oakland City at
3 o’clock this afternoon by the Atlanta
and West Point Railroad, which will be

engineer. By throwing a lever in the
cab the engineer may open the switch,
and after his train has passed com
pletely into it the switch automatically
closes. v
A $700,000 concern has been organized
to manufacture the device, the plant
being located in Atlanta.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 9.—Liverpool
is very disappointing with futures 2 to
3 points lower than due; spots 3 points
higher; sales, 3,000 bales.
Developments overnight were in fa
vor of unsettled weather, with precipi
tation coming on the Western States—
Arkansas and North Louisiana Over
Sunday. The map shows increasing
cloudiness in Texas and some precipi
tation in the Northwest and Southeast
portions.
Indications are for continued partly
cloudy weather in the eastern half with
scattered showers. It will become cool
er in the northwestern quarter of the
belt.
The market opened about 5 points
lower, but broke quickly to 11 cents
when the Government forecast con
firmed private advices of rain pros
pects over Sunday in the Western
States and Oklahoma
Market prospects next week depend
principally on the amount of rainfall in
> e Western States. The half monthly
condition forecasts by the usual private
authorities like Giles and others, are ex
pected to show decline, as the rains
came too late to affect their condition
figures.
Covering by scalpers over Sunday
rallied prices in the last hour.

The course of the cotton market now
depends entirely on the weather, which
must he watched closely. On the other
hand, there is a bearish element which
Is waiting for the first signs of rain in
the western belt to sell the market
short, us It believes it is entirely too
high in the face of excellent prospects
that have existed up to the present
time The bulls contend that unless
we get good rains in the west within
the next few days, the market will set
new high levels.
* * •
Aside from a few purchases and sales
of more than 6,000 bales by Shearson,
Baruch and McCormick, there ware no
large trades in yesterday's market.
The gain of 10 points is considered a
rather poor showing on continued high
temperatures in Oklahoma and Texas,
and indicates that the world considers
the area deteriorating too small, when
compared to the whole, to become
frightened over. Another reason, of
course, is that speculation is seriously
curtailed by the tax threat and the
abandonment of practically all arbitrage
business by the larger straddle Interests
awaiting developments at Washington,
materially reduces the volume of trade
and activity of the market. There was
no news aside from the weather de
tails and complaints from Arkansas
and the southwest. There are very
few bulls to be found among the local
crowd.
• • •
According to The Journal of Com
merce the cotton goods trade is on the
verge of broad activity, but tariff delay
will be dangerous. The retail trade has
been in the market in large numbers
during the past week, giving evidences
of a real need for goods of a staple
character.
Dallas wires: “Texas, partly cloudy
to clear; rain at Amarillo and Rockland.
Oklahoma, generally clear
• • •
Except fair In Oklahoma and North
west Texas, the map is partly cloudy
to cloudy over the entire belt. Fine rain
at Amarillo, Northwest Texas and Gal
veston. Nice rains also in North Louis
iana, Mississippi, Alabama and Atlantic
Coast districts. Indications are for un
settled to cooler weather over Sunday
in Texas and Oklahoma; also good
rain Indications for Arkansas, North
Louisiana, and showers over the rest of
the belt.—Kofler.

The stock market held very well Fri
day after the “publication of the Govern
ment crop report on cotn. It was about
w’hat was generally expected. I believe
it has been discounted as a market fac
tor. Powerful Interests are behind the
advance in stocks, and I believe that on
any reaction they are a purchase and
will sell higher.—G. D. Potter.

/ftient the ramarkably good foreign
trade exhibit for the fiscal year ended
June 30 last the possible effect of tariff
reductions on our foreign trade balance
becomes a timely topic for consideration.
Last year our foreign trade reached a
new zenith with a total of exports and
imports of $4,275 000.000, or $421,000,000
more than that of 1912. Exports so far
exceeded imports that this vast com
merce created a trade balance ifci our
favor abroad of $662,000,000 Can this
be maintained next year when a new
and much lower tariff is in existence?
As the new tariff is likely to become
operative next month, the effects of
its operations will be reflected in 10 of
the 12 months of the current fiscal year.
The general expectation is that the
drastic tariff reductions will result in a
marked increase gain in exports. Of
course unless exports enjoyed a corre
sponding increase the foreign trade bal
ance must be reduced.

The foreign stocks are very quiet,
but a firm tone prevails.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
George F. Jones & Son: We expect
prices to do better until the drouth is
generally broken.
Norden & Co.: We believe that the
most reasonable course of cotton Is to
make use of fluctuations that may be
caused by daily weather conditions and
the technical position of the market
Logan & Bryan: Weather conditions
in Texas and Oklahoma are the domi
nating Influences, and should that sec
tion receive beneficial moisture, lower
range of prices will doubtless he seen.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—Corn was up as
much as 1 cent for the September option
early, but It broke % on predictions of
rain in many sections of the corn belt, j
with sales from 73 down to 72%. The
other months acted in sympathy, De- ;
ceinber selling at 68 down to 66% and
May 69% to 68%, compared to closing
prices of yesterday, 67% and 69 re- j
spectively.
The Government crop report on corn 1
was considered bullish, but the figures
which were made up August 1 failed j
to reflect the damage as a whole.
Wheat was % to % higher at the
start, but this and % more was lost
befdre the session was more than half
an hour old.
Oats were higher early, but sold off |
with other grains and showed a weak- 1
ening tendency after the decline
Hogs were higher and provisions were !
higher in sympathy.
