SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.—Government troops are showing no quarter to the southern rebels. The forts at Woo Sung were cap tured by the Federals to-day and nearly all the rebel defenders were killed. GRAIN MARKET CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Corn showed a further fractional advance at the open ing this morning, but the market failed to display as much activity as seen since the present higher price campaign was started. The greater portion of the corn belt received rains, me exceptions being Kansas, Oklahoma ana part of Missouri. Temperatures in tne South west were again higher, and the belief that ’further deterioration will be seen prevails among the trade here. Argen tina shipmeais for the week are ex pected to be larger, and an estimate sent out places the exportable surplus of that country 14,000,000 bushels above previous estimates. Wheat show'ed a gain of about the same size as registered in the corn mar ket. Offerings of wheat in the local pit were held more tightly and shorts were In the market on the buying side. Liv erpool showed an early gain of V* to %c, being influenced largely by the firmer American cables of yesterday Advices received here were to the effot that no damage had been done in Argentina by the frosts reported there several days ago. Oat values failed to follow in Hie course of other grains, declines of Vi* to %c being shown in this market at the opening. Longs were the principal sell ers. • Provisions were again being liqui dated by some of the holders, and val ues suffered declines under this selling and the lower market for hogs at the yards. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. NEW YORK. Aug. 13.—On reports of showers at a number of points in central Texas and Oklahoma, the cotton market opened 2 to 4 points lower, except Au gust, which showed 1 point advance from the closing quotations of Tuesday. A private message from New Orleans stated that traders there expected fur ther rains soon. However, the official weather map only showed a few rains and the official weather forecasts for Oklahoma and TexL.3 was for clear weather. After prices had declined about 1 to 2 points from the opening a sudden buy ing movement, led by prominent opera tors. started the market on an upward trend, with the results of prices show ing a gain of 2 to 7 points over the in itial level by noon. August, however, was not inclined to follow the advance and settled around 11 ^57 for a loss of 4 points from the previous close. Liverpool reported weak cables and accordingly sent over a range of prices 3 to 6 points lower, based on rains in the Western belt. It is generally believed that a contin uance of dry weather will lead to early deliveries of high-grade white cotton in Texas, and on matter how dry it re mains, this cotton will come into the market freely until the receipts from the eastern half of the belt become heavy. From present conditions an early movement is generally expected. Private reports recently indicated a good condition of 85 per cent of the cotton belt west of the Mississippi River Sentiment on the floor continues bear ish. NEW YORK COTTON.

Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “In the wheat situation there was nothing new presented by the trade, except that sentiment was more friendly to the buy ing side, because of the strength in coarse grains and a little black-rust talk. Corn bulls last night were con fident of their /position, as temperatures over the Southwest ranged from 99 to 108 without any rain, except in Oklahoma "Comparatively few traders regard corn *prices as high, except for the pres ent. as there have been numerous years when May corn has been bought at the prevailing level and paid a good profit." * * * ChJcago. part cloudy. 70 degrees; Peoria, cloudy. 82 degrees,' threatening: .Springfield, cloudy, 75 degrees; heavy rain this morning.

BFADSTREET’S VISIBLE SUPPLY. Following shows the weekly Brad- street’s visible supply of grain: Wheat increased 4,269.000 bushels. Corn increased 1.532.000 bushels. Oats decreased 938,000 bushels. What d’ye think? Southwest received some rain last night, which promoted an active selling movement at the out set to-day. * * * The Government report yesterday, stating that July was the third dryest on record in Texas, fell flat and advices from New Orleans that the Clarke amendment was likely t be shelved, failed to stir the market. • * * In the absence of other advices the weakness of the late cables from Liv erpool this morning were attributed to the reports of rain in the Southwest. Dallas wires: “Texas r,nd Oklahoma generally clear and hot.” * * • NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 13.—The weather map shows generally cloudy over the eastern part of Texas, with precipitation rather general, although light so far. Rain at Taylor, Tex. Cloudy in Tennessee, Atlantic coast dis tricts and central Gulf districts, with scattered showers over Tennessee, south Gulf States and the Aflantics. Indica tions, are for more showery weather over the western States and further pre cipitation in Texas, particularly over the eastern half of the State: partly cloudy Central States and the Atlantics will probably have some scatterd show ers. Memphis wires; “The first new bale of the season of 1913*-14 was received here this ?norning from Mississippi De- I^ata I’lanting Company.

But, as matters stand, the markets reflect a heavy tone even in the presence of a more active demand for forward export freight room. Big crop people adhere to their belief that the drouth affected area in the west does not cover a great amount of territory and that even the dry region has produced crops in dryer years than this. "Nevertheless, the Weather Bureau stresses the bad state of affairs, re sulting from lack of moisture in Okla homa and Texas, and the detailed re ports from 198 Texas stations for July show a rainfull deficiency of 1.62 Inches, and a temperature excess of 1.2 degrees over the July normal. VOn the other hand, print cloths are now quoted at 3%c, or % of a cent be low the quotations at this time last year., which is equal to about 2%c a pound on raw cotton. But raw cotton values are now very little lower than they we*-e at this time last year. Mean while. trade attention continues to cen ter on the weather in the west. STOCK MARKET By CHARLES W. STORM.
