Wall Street houses, the South ivarpool, Spring* Jenka, Weld and Hicks were leading buyers. The buying was credited t<> shorts, to new longs and to Southern spot houses, who had sold to mills and failed to hedge, and to the world’s spin ners, who have become disturbed over the Texas reports.

"Tennessee—Cotton Is generally In good condition, fruiting well and In a good state of cultivation.

C., Tuaada^ for funeral and Interment, NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—At the opening of the cotton market to-day trading was not so active as yesterday and first prices were 2 points lower to 2 points higher than the closing quotations of Monday. Sentiment was pretty evenly divided. Privately the opinion was expressed that there would probably be rain over the Oklahoma-Texas belt within 24 hours, but when the official weather map of the Government failed to show any sign of rain or prospects for any the bears be cause panic-stricken and bid against one an- ther so aggressively that prices went up 13 to 21 points w’ithtn a few minutes after the opening. Shorts were heavy buyers, also Liverpool, the South and the spot interests were booked as buyers. Offerings were scarce, except a few sales, which was attributed to longs taking profits. During the late forenoon the market fluctuated around Its high point. In addition to the dry map reports from the western belt were to the ef fect that conditions In Oklahoma have never been worse, but most of the planting In Texas would probably yield something less than a third that was planted. Reports of deterioration In most every section of the belt was re ceived. The Government's weekly weather re port was considered as bullish, especially over the western half of the belt, and shorts were apparently displaying con siderable uneasiness, and additional buy ing orders generally carried prices still higher than the early high mark. Au gust soared to 12.45, October 12.16, De cember 12.11 and January 12.12, estab lishing new high levels for the present bull movement. The aggressive sellers of yesterday were not In evidence. Later, however, as the session wore on there was considerable talk of a re action and the selling became rather general, w’hich was confined mainly to profit tdklng. No one. however, had the courage to sell the market short In the face of the continued drouth in the Southwest and tile pending Government report, w'hlch will be made public Tues day, September 2. The majority of traders anticipate a very bullish condi tion, claiming that deterioration In the crop during August will exceed 10 points. This clld not encourage any of the early activity, and prices shaded sharply from the early best. The close came in the midst of general realizing and left prices at or near the previous close, bing 2 points lower for August and 1 to 6 points higher for oth er positions.

The text of Wilson’s note to Huerta required that Huerta resign. Huerta has refused and Envoy Lind will leave Mexico to-day, his mis- ' •ion resulting In failure. Wilson Is ready to deliver his message to Congress to-day at noon. “Informaton channels favor a waiting attitude.
