•FREELY ALL
NEW YORK, Aug. 14 — Good cables
and- absence of rains over the Texas
belt, except at one or two places, re
sulted In the cotton market opening
steady to-day and first prices ranged
from 1 point off to 5 points higher than
Wednesday's final There was a little
outside support, however, and the list
being bolstered by buying from room
shorts.
This, coupled with the Government re
port on supply and distribution, which
placed the number of cotton bales con
sumed during July at 486,246 running
bales, as compared with 467,000 bales
in June. The report was considered
bullish, but failed to stimulate any
buying of consequence and the market
developed a sagging tendency after the
call, based on active selling, which was
encouraged by a New Orleans weather
expert prediction of rains in the west
ern belt within the next forty-height
house. Later the selling became gen
eral and by noon the decline aggre
gated 5 to II points from the initial
range.
After the English market had re
ported better oables»than expected, price
movement at the close showed a decline
of 2 to 34 points from the previous
close.
Ring traders are persistent bears on
the new crop positions, but thev are
iv>i heavy sellers, especially of August.
Most of them seem to be waiting rains
in the western belt before committing
themselves to any great extent to the
short side. But a world of cotton will
fall upon the market if rains should
come in the west One thing that pre
vents any material decline in prices is
that the feeling among the average
Trader is to the effect that the Clarke
anti-option bill will be killed and that
nothing along that line will be done at
the present session of Congress.

Some profit-taking yesterday was re
sponsible for the reactionary tendency
at the close. I would not be surprised
if the market was reactionary to-day,
as prices have had a good advance with
out any setback. Houthern Pacific
which is behind the balance of the list,
looks as If the pool would put It higher.
I am bullish for the long pull and on
any reaction believe stocks are a
purchase.—G D. Potter.

opinion that stocks are worth more than
present quotations, as the best issues
yield the investor over 6 per cent.

active on the constructive side of prices
will probably continue operations until
