IEX.mil ft I NS Bull Forces Try to Discourage the Ring on Unfavorable Expres sions, but Fail. NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—Scattered showers in Texas and Oklahoma and a very favorable weather map, coupled with much lower cables than had been expected, resulted In the cotton market opening to-day with first prices at a net decline of 5 to 10 points from last night’s close. After the call the entire list broke 3 to 10 points under the open ing, through heavy liquidation and prof • it-taking sales, based on local weather experts predicting further general rains for the entire belt, and this was said to be the reason for the weakness in the English market. During the forenoon offerings became rather scarce and an active buying movement led by spot people and a few scattered shorts, caused the market to develop a better tone and prices soared, in the initial level. Reasons for the sudden turn In the course of the mar ket, were partially explained by the fact that we have had a rise of about $2 a bale since the beginning of the week. Ring traders have been caught short and have been forced to take heavy losses when covering their trades, and they are not inclined to take the chance of being caught holding the bag if an other jump in values should follow so closely. A removal of the early selling on re ports of further rains in Texas and Oklahoma during the afternoon session, resulted In prices moving back to the early low point. Brokers identified with the bull forces were probably the best buyers on the decline, which was dis couraging to the bear element. How ever, offerings continued rather general, but prices fluctuated within a mod erate range. Bulls contend that rains in the western belt now could not re pair the damage already done by the continued heat and dry weather and in some quarters speculators are express ing the belief that should rains come and cause a decline it would only be temporary. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net decline of 9 to 11 points from the fflnal quotations o Thursday.

BOSTON, Aug. 22.—Wool sales of the past week aggregated 3,000,000 to 4,000,- 000 pounds. Leading houses report a more cheerful tone, with an immense amount of sampling in all lines by man ufacturers. Worsted mills are coming into the market and competing with the woolen manufacturers, who hitherto have had full swing. Fleece wools are a trifle more active and a bit firmer here, with nothing doing In Ohio. Ap parently the wool market has settled down to a steady pull for the rest of the summer and early fall.

From a speculative view point, the feature was a return of show ery conditions over the eastern half of the belt. According to the weather-re porting machinery of the general Gov ernment, unfavorable conditions con tinue In Oklahoma and Texas and a general soaking rain seems as far off as ever. “On August 25, the Government’s re port Is expected to show satisfactory conditions in practically all sections ex cept Texas and Oklahoma and In the boll weevil-affected portion of the belt, Oklahoma will probably make the re port showing of all the States for the period from July 26 to August 25, with Texas next. In the opinion of some leading delta planters, the boll weevil has done enormous damage during the past thirty days, and they expect the Government condition report to reflect sharp deterioration. The crop in Texas is very spotted. Some sections there seem to be making satisfactory prog ress. while other sections seem to be deteriorating rapidly. The Government’s condition percentage for Texas will supply the best available Information as to the effect of the August weather on the crop of that State. “Trade opinion is, at best, an unsafe guide because of lack of individual fa cilities for reaching all sections. This Is evidenced by the fact that there Is no wide diversity of opinion among prominent cotton merchants In Texas as to the status of the crop'" LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 22 —The market was due 1% to 2% points higher, but opened easy, at a net decline of 5 to 7 points. At 12:15 p. m.. the market was quiet but steady, 6 to 6% points Spot cotton quiet at 5 points decline; % point from 12:15 p. m.

The rainfall was wide spread over night in the northern half of Texas and Ok lahoma, and indications are favorable for a more genera’ and heavier rainfall during the next 36 hours in Arkansas, North Louisiana, Mississippi and Ten nessee; partly cloudy and showery weather In the rest of the belt. It will be cooler over the entire northern half of the belt. _ Several points in Eastern Texas, Ok lahoma and Arkansas reported rain at the opening of our market. This rain fall on top of the rather good rainfall privately reported from Texas and Ok lahoma during the past ten days, comes in ample time to cause a material im* provement in yield, If followed by favorable conditions. The statement that rain is too late to do good is largely the outcome of merce nary designs and is more a prophecy than real. Liverpool came in poor with futures as much as 8 points lower than due, spote 5 points off, sales 7,000 bales. Gal* veston reiterates the advice that spec ulative freight engagements are on the market to be relet, owing to the slack demand. Our market eased in the early trad* ing to 11.40 for October, but selling was restricted and the disposition was rather in favor of buying Bearish con fidence has been upset by the recent up turn; bulls feel confident, and the opin ion prevails that rains are too late to raise condition returns for the coming bureau report, which is expected to show 4 to 6 points decline and have a bullish effect.

Losses were %@%e in wheat, %®%c in corn and %®% c in oats. Liquidation by longs and the putting out of short lines w «r the weakening influences, coupled the lack of bu >'ing power. World’s shipments for Monday are expected to be 11,432,000 bushels, or 1,400,000 bush els larger than a year ago. The professionals in com were decid edly bearish in their views to-day, and they sold that grain freely on the hard supots. The president of one of the larger Southwestern railways sent out an estimate on the cron crop of 2,800,000 bushels. These figures doubtless are too large. Provisions were lower on continued free selling by longs.
