ber 5. Cotton is already moving in a
few localities In other sections, hot
and dry weather lu?s caused cotton to
stop growing and shedding to set in.
Reports thus far received, however,
would indicate a deterioration of several
points from last month, when percent
age condition was 87.4.
"Tennessee—Cotton is generally in
good condition, fruiting well and in a
good state of cultivation. Drouth, how
ever, Is beginning to cause considerable
shedding, and percentage condition will
probably show some loss from a month
ago. when it was 89.2, but it is con
siderably better than last year at this
time, when it was 75.4 per cent. The
crop is free from Insects, and. barring
disaster, a good yield is expected.
"Missouri—On account of drouth, cot
ton has deteriorated considerably in the
last month, when the percentage condi
tion was 86.6."

NEW ORLEANS, Aug 26 —Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows
cloudy in the Atlantics, rains in At
lantic coast districts, fair elsewhere; no
rain. Indications are. for increasing
cloudiness over the western States.
District storm formation is bordering on
Oklahoma, and likely to cause some
precipitation and cooler weather in
North Texas and Western Arkansas
shortly. Generally fair in tho central
States, with showers in the Atlantics.
NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET.
Bulls Force Prices Into New High
Ground on Western Drouth and
Deterioration Reports.
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-Texus 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 another so aggressively that prices
went up 13 to 21 points within a few
minutes after the opening. Shorts were
heavy buyers, also Liverpool, the South
and the spot interests were booked as
buyers. Offerings wore scare* 1 , except
u few sales, which was attributed to
longs taking profits.
During the late forenoon the marKet
fluctuated around Its high point.
In addition lo the dry map reports
from tin* 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
f yesterday were not in evidence.
Litter, however, as the session wore
on there was considerable talk of a re
action and the selling became rather
general, which was confined mainly to
profit taking. No one. however, had the
courage to sell the market short in the
face of the continued drouth in the
Southwest and the pending Government
report, which will be made public Tues
day. September 2. The majority of
trailers anticipate a very bullish condi
tion, claiming that deterioration in the
crop during August will exceed 10 points.
This did 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 tQ 5 points higher for oth
er positions.
Following are 11 a. m. bids in New
York: August 12.27, October 12.06, De
cember 12.00, January 11.91, March 12.00.

RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.
"The stock market will probably be
quiet until after President Wilson has
delivered his message to Congress on
the Mexican situution. Many operators
do not believe this will have any per
ceptible effect on prices and think that
stocks are a purchase, as they refused
to decline on the had news of last week.
Among the specialties would buy the
traction issues on any weakness." G.
I>. Potter.
"Sentiment in London is cheerful.
Traders in foreign markets show hut
little disposition to trade in American
securities ponding the outcome of the
Mexican situation. The text of Wilson's
noto to Huerta required that Huerta
resign. Huerta has refused and Envoy
Lind will leave Mexico to-day, his mis
sion resulting In failure. Wilson is
ready to deliver his message to Congress
to-day at noon.
"Informaton channels favor a waiting
attitude. We would look for good buy
ing opportunities with the intention to
hold for substantial profits unless unex
pected events make it advisable to take
smaller returns.”—New York Financial
Bureau.
* * •
"The postponement of the delivery of
President Wilson's message to Con
gress until Wednesday will probably
cause the present dullness to continue
until then It looks as if the Mexican
situation might be settled peaceably. If
this proves lo be correct the stock mar
ket will probably show some improve
ment."—G D. Potter.
