Some heavier rains in North Carolina Rain storm bordering on North Carolina Storm warning is reported along the Atlantic today, but of no danger, except that It will cause more general rains.

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 J to 10 points over the previous close. Continued dry weather over the larger part of the holt and firm cables contributed the strength. Later heavy unloading of late monuis 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 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 lale 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 optlor had recovered the early depression and increased gains 19 to 24 points fron last night’s closing quotations. The sensational advance of yesterday came near being repeated during the late forenoon, when heavy buying by hull 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 ui ought about large hedge rp- sulting In a good reaction to 12.82 for October. Thirteen cents at the start of the season calls for proper backing bv 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 selling at 13.11. There is no opposition to the ad vance and to the bullish spirit. 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 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 farmer* will hold their wheat for higher prices. 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 r, 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. * • • Partlett-Frazier Co. say; "Wheat— We feel that more general interest will s«...n <i*• veI<■ p ami a period of activity ensue which will result In higher prices. "Corn Real conditions surrounding the growing crop aro 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 timate for the cotton crop are factors that are being used by bears to depress stocks like Anaconda and Missouri Pa cific.
