NEW ORLEANS, Sept 3.—Hayward A
Clark: The weather map shows partly!
cloudy In Texas and cloudy in the Caro-
linas; generally fair elsewhere. Pretty |
general showers show n In Texas, but ■
mostly light. Some heavier rains in
North Carolina. Rain storm bordering j
on North Carolina. Storm warning is j
reported along the Atlantic today, 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-Pemorrat
says: “Both old crop consumption and
new crop condition played into the hands
of the bulls, and the market mounted,
with ease until th*e New Orleans March |
delivery had reached and passed 13
cents. The Government reported a con- 1
dition for Oklahoma of only 45 per cent j
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 I
futures are now well above spots In I
other words, speculative buying, not I
trade purchases, caused the advance.
Consequently, the bulk of the contract
long interest must now be held for (be ;
account of speculators who made their
purchases in anticipation of large re
quirement and a moderate raw' cotton I
supply during the season of 1913-14." i

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Trading at the
opening of the cotton market to-day was
very active and first prices showed a
net advance of 7 to 10 points over the
previous close. Continued dry weather
over the larger part of the belt and
firm cables contributed the strength.
Later heavy unloading of late monins
occurred on the call, due to reports of
showers in Texas. October and De
cember both crossed the 13-cenc level,
but fell below it later because of exten
sive profit-taking by longs and those .
who purchased at yesterday’s high point I
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 purfh prices
well over the 13-cent. mark right after
the selling wave, when they claimed the
Texas showers had come too late to be
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 optior
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
afternoou 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 iarge 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. Feeflhg. 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 selling at
13.11. There is no opposition to the ad
vance and to the bullish spirit. I T nfa
vorable reports of shedding, owing to
insufficient rainfall, are lately on the
increase from the Central States.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
“Wheat is gaining friends and the bulls
w«*re more positive In their utterances
than they have been for some time. They
expect to see setbacks, but they believe
that the low'est prices have been made
for the time being
“With corn advancing, the theory is
that farmer* will hold their wheat for
higher >rices. The same tl/'ory 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 J( large 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 last 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-
Jimate for the cotton crop are factors
that are being used by bears to depress
stocks like Anaconda and Missouri Pa
cific. Copper Issues should be a pur
chase on all reactions. New York
Central and New Haven are being sold
on rumors of reductions in dividend.—G.
D. Potter.
