NEW ORLEANS, Sept S —Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows partly cloudy In Texas and cloudy In the Caro- linas, generally fair elsewhere. Pretty general showers shown in Texas, but mostly light Some heavier rains In North Carolina. Rain storm bordering on North Carolina Storm warning is reported along the Atlantic tf*day, but of no danger, except that It will cause more general rains. Indications point to increasing cloudiness generally over the entire belt, with showers becoming more numerous; also In West, and cooler in the North. • • • The New Orleans Times-Pemocrat says: “Both old crop consumption and new crop condition played into the hands of the bulls, and the market mounted, with ease until the New Orleans March delivery had reached and passed 13 cents. The Government reported a con dition for Oklahoma of only 45 per cent of normal. “The consensus of opinion was that the local shorts had lost more money than the longs had made. “In spite of the fact that spinners had been buying prompt shipment cotton in liberal way and have not been buying forward Supplies in normal volume for futures are now well above spots. In other words, speculative buying, not trade purchases, caused the advance. Consequently, the bulk of the contract long interest must now be held fur the account of speculators who made their purchases in anticipation- of large re quirement and a moderate raw cotton supply during the season of 1913-14." * * * Texas rainfall: Abilene. .02; Austin, .02; Reevllle, .02; Corpus Christi, .04; Galveston. .70; Kerrville, Of*; Lampas- sas, .10; Llano, .06; Luling. .02; Pales tine, .04; Pierce, .01; San Antonio, .24; Snyder, .06.

Support Checks Early Dip—Drouth Continues, but Relief Is Promised, NEW YORK, Sept. 3 —Trading at the opening of the cotton market to-day was very active and first prices sho’wed a net advance of 7 to 10 points over the previous close. Continued dry weather over the larger part of the bolt and firm cables contributed the strength. Later heavy unloading ol late months occurred on the call, due to reports of showers in Texas. October and De cember both crossed the 13-cent level, but fell below it lateb because ol exten sive profit-taking by longs and those who purchased at yesterday’s high point and at the end of the first half an hour prices had shown recessions aggregating 13 to 17 points from the Initial range. Local bulls determined to push prices well over the 13-cent mark right after the selling wave, when they claimed the Texas showers had come too late to lie of any benefit to the crop and that the attitude of spinners now is of more importance than any weather situation. This resulted In general short covering and heavy buying by spot houses. In addition to this there was considerable speculative demand and prices continued to climb the ladder until each optlor had recovered the early depression and increased gains 19 to 24 points from last night’s closing quotations. The sensational advance of yesterday came near being repeated during the late forenoon, when heavy buying by bull forces sent October as high as 13.38, December 13.34 and January to 13.25. but general realizing sales during the afternoon trading, based on reported showers in Texas, caused the market to develop a sagging tendency and prices receded sharply from the early high point, but support was of sufficient character to maintain each month over the 13-cent mark. October fell to 13.16. December 13.15 and January 13.07, and at the close the tone was steady, with prices at a net advance of 22 to 31 points from, the final quotations of Tues day.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3.—Very little precipitation was shown on the weather map to-day, except in parts of the Caro- linas, which are under the influence of a storm formation bordering on the South Atlantic coast. Indications are for increasing cloudiness generally, showers becoming-more extended in the Western territory; also probably heavy rains in the Atlantic coast districts. Cooler in the northeastern quarter of the belt. Developments are making for more general rains West within- a few days. Liverpool was excited with futures at one time 21 points higher. Spots 34 points higher. Our market advanced about 10 points in the early trading, but support from leaders was lacking and futures being so much over spots brought about large hedge selling, re sulting in a good reaction to 12.82 for October. Thirteen cents at the start of the season calls for proper backing by spot developments. There is, therefore, some hesitation until spot prices ad vance. Feeling, however, is now gener ally bullish and there is more inquiry for shipments from Europe, mainly due to the easier basis and good hedge op portunity with high futures. New ork turned into an active bull market soon after the close of Liver pool and prices have followed rapidly on smaTT buying. December sealing at 13.11. There is no opposition to the ad vance and to the bullish spirit. Unfa vorable reports of shedding, owing to insufficient rainfall, are lately on the increase from the Central States.

Grain Notes The Chicago Inter Ocean Rays: “Wheat is gaining friends and the bulla were more positive in their utterances than they have been for some time. They expect to see setbacks, but they believe that the lowest prices have been made for the time being “With corn advancing, the theory is that farmers will hold their wheat for i gher trices The same tl/sory is al* so advanced by those bullish on oats. Corn traders say corn is too high to buy at present, but their places have been taken by largo number of traders from the wheat pit who are operating on con ditions, regardless of prices. The short selling of deferred futures is curtailed. * * * Bartlett-Frazier Co. say: “Wheat—• We feel that more general interest will soon develop and a period of activity ensue which will result in higher prices. “Corn—Real conditions surrounding the growing crop are at Iasi forcing themselves on the trade, and the reali zation of the probability of a total yield so much smaller than anything seen in recent years in bringing in new buy ing. “Oats—We advocate purchases on all recessions.” STOCK GOSSIP The reports of further damage to the corn crop and the low Government es timate for the cotton crop are factors that are being used by bears to depress stocks like Anaconda and Missouri Pa cific. Copper issues should he a pur chase on all reactions. New York Central and New Haven are being sold on rumors of reductions in dividend.—G. D.
