NEW YORK, Aug. 1#.—Cable* from Liverpool were surprisingly strong to day, with the result that prices were 5 to 16 points higher than the closing quotations of Monday.

The detailed weather for Texas and the weekly weather report, which was construed as bullish brought out buying and a few points rally followed. Those who are advocating the bull side are advising friends to buy at the present level.

Merchants are ordering for ward their fall lines and filling In their stocks thoughout all departments. Buy ing has proceeded with precaution in Individual cases, but retailers generally are so much In need of merchandise for Immediate requirements- that the total volume of shipments is keeping up re markably well. "Much needed rains have orightened the prospects for a good fall business In a large portion of the territory that was feeling the drouth. "Silks are a big item of the trade at present and practically all buyers in the market are placing orders for this class of merchandise in liberal quantities. "Judging from the extraordinary de mand that has developed and In view of the serious labor troubles that have prevailed for some time In the silk In dustry, there will be a scarcity of all kinds of silks before the season Is far advanced. "The sale of black silks has Improved greatly within the last few weeks. COTTON GOSSIP Liverpool Is said to be a good buyer. Mitchell, Riordan and Cone were prob ably the best buyers on the call.

THE PLAY THIS WEEK Splendid Bill at Forsyth. ■Willie Weston, Grace DeMar and Toots Paka and her Hawaiian musi cians are running a dead heat for first honors In the fine vaudeville offering at the Forsyth this week. First-nighters found It hard to p^ck the winner. The Hawaiian musicians repeat the big hit they made on their previous visit to Atlanta. The guitar playing of one of the men brings down the house and Miss Paka’s "hula hula" dance wins big hand. The weird native songs are exceptionally pleasing. Willie Weston, in a class by himself x a character singer, has new songs this year, and his act goes big. He was assisted at the piano by Howard Win- bum, the Atlanta pianist; Mike Bernard, Weston’s regular partner, being ill. Miss DeMar, who sings well some songs that are full of "pep" to say the least, and captures the gallery In her last number when she exhibits a very shapely figure In tights. The other acts on the bill are above the average In quality. Kennedy and Rooney have a skit that keeps tne au dience chuckling; Foster and Lovell win favor with songs and nonsense; the Nikko troupe of acrobats have a Japan ese who walks up and down stairs on his head as an added feature, and the Pathe pictures are unusually Interest ing. War Picture at the Grand. Interesting light Is thrown on the threatening Mexican situation by a re markable motion picture, “Victory," at the Grand Theater this week. While the scene would fit any Spanlsh-American country, the acute conditions In Mexico Immediately suggest that country, and the analogy is stronger still when the President of the Republic is assassi nated and the crux of the drama de velops with an attack on the United States battleship Utah. Woven through the play Is the love drama of a young United States naval lieutenant and the daughter of the United States Ambassador. All modem Implements of warfare, including the hydroplane and the wireless, are dem onstrated in action, and stirring battles are fought. The picture was made through a special permission and co operation of the United States Navy Department. Policeman Sews Up Slit in Skirt AYDBN. N. C., Aug. 19.—A pretty 19-year-old girl appeared In the streets here wearing a generously slit skirt. She did it on a wager. A crowd of hooting men and boys fol lowed her. A policeman escorted the girl to s. nearby millinery shop and ordered the silt eewed up. He called a car riage and sent the girl home. Then 1 he chased the crowd a way. Dec.-Jan. Jan.-Feb. Feb.-Mch.

None In the north ern half or In Oklahoma; part cloudy in southern Arkansas, west Tennessee and the Texas coast. Generally fair elsewhere; no rain. Indications are for part cloudy with probably some scat tered showers in the Western States; cooler in the northern half of the belt; generally fair weather with moderate temperatures over the eastern half of the belt Is favorable, as an excess of rain was feared. Liverpool came In stronger than ex pected and quoted spots 4 points higher; sales, 8,000 bales. Cables report Russia and the continent buying. Political news Is less favorable. London says that a third war In the Balkans seems near, as Turkey Is apparently making preparations to move against Bulgaria. Galveston freight people report an ex cess of steamer room over the demand, and room engaged during the summer being relet. offered or to let as the de mand Is not up to anticipations. This is confirmed In a way by the Galveston and Houston receipts being lighter than last year, particularly to-day, although picking and ginning are known to be In active operation over a large part of Texas. Our market opened about 19 points higher and ruled aul£t but steady at the advance, waiting for the weekly weather report, which Is epected will be un favorable on the Western States. Unfavorable reports on north Texas and Oklahoma. owing to Insuffi cient ralrffall, are also expected In the next few days from parties who are now traveling in that section to Inspect the crop, and the opinion has generally pettled to the anticipation of a bullish September bureau showing 4 to 6 points decline in conditions. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. Rains: Taylor, Texas, .28; San Anto nio, .10; Galveston, .08; Houston, .01 past twenty-four hours. • • • NEW ORLEANS, Aug 19.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows partly cloudy In Southern Arkansas, West Ten nessee and Texas coast. Generally fair elsewhere. Lighter but rather general precipitation over southern half of Tex as. None shown by the map in the northern half, or Oklahoma. Indica tions are for partly cloudy to further showers over the western States; also Arkansas and Tennessee. Cooler weath er generally in northern half of the belt • • • Report here from Galveston freight agents says freight room engaged dur ing summer Is being relet, owing to de mand for shipments not being up to expectations. • • • The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "Showers fell In Texas and Oklahoma Saturday, Sunday and Mon day. and while general good rains are needed, the talent Is now convinced that some relief has come to the drouth- affected areas. This, In conjunction with the favorable crop reports received from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carollnas, caused the cotton market to ease off a bit. Oklahoma now seem* to be In worse condition than any of the cotton-growing States, as a result of long continued dry weather. "Texas, on the other hand, has suf fered In part only, and certain sections there seem to be doing very well. Tex ans themselves say the boll weevil has done some damage In the southwestern portion of the State, but the recent dry weather has put an end to the progress of such damage on the west. The chronic crop killer seems to have failed In his attempts to reduce the crop promise to relatively small provisions, and for this reason the talent Is now talking big crop and moderate trade xrospects with a great deal of energy, n all of which demand for distant de livery and the causes thereof are play ing a leading role. No general rains are in sight, but the weather bureau promises normal temperatures and showers during the next six days, from which the west may derive some fur ther relief In the near future.” By CHAS.

"The Mexican and foreign situation may unsettle the market temporarily, but It Is generally believed that the Mexican afTalr will be adjusted without any serious trouble.

Fears are entertained that an advance upon the whole of Bulgaria Is about to begin. On this news the Lon don market is disposed to realize on stocks. "Information channels continue to be conservatively friendly on the stock market, according to the outgivings from various well Informed sources. \Ve would look for fair buying opportunities with the intention to accept moderate profits." • • • The application made by the Texas Company to the New York Stock Ex change for the listing of its $3,000,000 additional stock and $2,000,000 6% con vertible debenture bonds, is the final step In the transfer of the Producers Oil Company to the Texas Company. Under the terms of the exchange the stockholders of the Producers Company received one share of Texas Company stock for each share held; and one de benture bond for each Producers bond held. The application to list $2,000,000 bonds explains the increase In the company’s debentures from $12,000,000 to $14,000,- 000, as shown in the balance sheet as of June 30, 1913. * • • ’'We are still qf the opinion that stocks will sell higher before there is any de cline of consequence, and feel that the standard issues should be conservatively accumulated."—G.
