NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. of beneficial ;
rant in part* of Texas and Oklahoma [
wore followed by heavy liquidation in j
the cotton market at the opening of 1
Thursday. Opening prices were a
decline of 48 to 01 points. Railing of
16 to 18 points met increased liquida
tion and the market was unsettled
during tho first hour. The sharp
break in Liverpool was attributed to
the Texas rain news. Numerous pri
vate reports were received hero from
the southwest reporting showers or
rains in west and north Texas and
southern Oklahoma.
The early decline extended to 27.52
for October and 26.94 for December or
62 to 68 points net lower but at these
figures offerings became lighter and
the market steadied on covering. The
latter was promoted by the failure of
j the weather map to show quite us
i much rain in the southwest as ex
pected and prices worked up some 30
to 35 points from rhe lowest. Trading
at midday was quieter With the mar
ket about steady at net declines of
27 to 32 points.
Private reports that southwestern
rains had been inadequate except in
comparatively few localities stimu
lated the early afternoon market.
October sold up to 28 02 or within 18
points of Wednesday's closing quota
tion and while this rally was not
fully maintained prices held steady
around 2 o'clock.

rallied and the recovery was Inter ac
celrated by the weather report. Oc

fact that, the official report showed
so little rain in the face of the pri

rains nt many points in north and
west Texas occasioned a great deal of
comment.

BALES BY HESTER
NEW ORLEANS.—The annual
report of the commercial cotton
crop of 11123-24. Issued by Col. H.
G. Heater, aecrolury of the New
Orleans cotton exchange, Wednea
ilay placed the total at 11,290,397
hales, an Increase over 1922-23 of
7,591 and a decreaeo under that of
1921 -22 of 261,72%
Colonel Heater placed the com
mercial crop of Toxati at 965,000
l> n lee over Inst year. The crop of
"other gulf atatea" embracing Lou
isiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Ten
nesse, Oklahoma, Mlsaourl, Califor

creased 742,000 while the deliveries
from the group of Atlantic states.
Including Alabama. North Carolina,
Houtli Carolina, Georgia, Florida.
Kentucky nnd Virginia decreased
216,000 bales.
The average grade of the crop
was strict low middling to middling,
says Iho report.
The average value per hale was
higher than In nny year since 1919-
1920. The start In August was at
the lowest nnd the market contin
ued to advance until December, the
peak month, with an Improvement
of S4O u bnle. Unfortunately for
domestic manufacturing Interests,
Colonel Hester says, the price of
goods did not follow the advance In
raw material, and with partial ces
sation of the demand values sagged
until the July average registered a
loss of S2O a bale, half of the price
Improvement. April nnd May wit
nessed a partial recovery dut to the
fact that foreign spinners reaping
the advantage of cheaper cotton,
entered the market freely.
BITUATION ABROAD

The situation abroad, said the re
port, though not satisfactory, hns
shown a distinct Improvement.
Great Britain took nearly 450,000

MARKET DECLINED
Spot Cotton at Augusta,
Quoted at 29.13
By W. A. LUFBURROW.
Market Editor,
Thursday's cotton market declined
on tho close and spot cotton at Au
gusta was quoted at 29.13, a twelve
point loss from previous closing quo
tations. The market was very dull
during the day. The decline was
rather small inasmuch as Friday is
report tiny. The speculators seem
to be a bit afraid of it.
J. W. Jay & Company, of New
York, says:
“The close of the so-called cotton
year on July 31st, furnished accurate
figures on the season’s consumption
and carry-over. According to Sec
retary Hester, the world's stock of
American cotton, carried over into
the new season amounted to 2,319,-
000 bales, compared with 2,574,000 at
the beginning of the year, or a re
duction of 265.000 bales. This left
fully 200,000 bales more than had been
generally anticipated. Consumption
was estimated at ID/, million bales
ns against over 12,600,000 the previ
ous season, a curtailment of roughly
1.400,000 bales. It will be recalled
that the price touched 30c a pound
early in September last year, be
fore the crop began to move in vol
ume wheren pin 1922. cotton was sell
ing below 22c a pound In the midst of
the marketing season early In Octo
ber. In other words, spinners of the
world the previous year were able to
secure fully 50 per cent of the sea
son’s requirements below a basis of
25c, while during the past year the
price ruled above 3rtc a pound except
for a brief interval In the fall and
ngaln early this spring. It is not un
reasonable to conclude that, reduced
consumption. the pant season must in
part, at least,, be ascribed to this dif
ference of sc. or more in the cost of
raw material to the mill.
“This effect of high prices in the
way of reducing consumption by plac
ing manufacturing costs beyond
either the ability or willingness of
the ultimate consumer to pay for
goods, accounts in great measure for
the absence of trade activity in the
recent and preeent markt t. During
the decline of nearly 2%c the past
week, scattreed mill buying occurred,
but on n comparatively limited scale
and houHC* most closely In touch with
the "trade state that the price In too
high to encourage active buying
either on tho part of domestic or for
eign spinners. Despite the smallest
rainfall in Texas for the past 20
ye*..H and the drought that has thus
far not been relieved, und is spreading
northward and eastward, the market
continues one where fears of, rather
than actual deterioration, dominate
sentiment. This is sustained by the
nutura of crop estimates issued by
private agencies, which, virtually
without exception, show a larger in
dicated yield on July 25th than on
June 25th. Several of those reports
raise the crop promise one-half u mil
lion to a million bales and they ore
almost unanimous In holding out hope
of an outturn considerably larger
than that contained in the last Wash
ington report.
“The lessened weevil and infesto-
Mon appears to be a decided factor In
furnishing grounds for confidence in
a larger crop this season. Thin 1t»
turn is explained first, by the in
erased use of fertilizers of good qual
ity; second, the weather was such
as perm'tted thorough cultivation In
almost all parts of the belt oside from
I certain sections of th* Carolina*, and
third, higher temperatures than pre
vailed during July either in 1923 or
1922. Day after day, the thermome
ter at Charleston for Instance, regis
tered 81 to 86 degrees at 8 o’clock in
tha morning; this not only hastened
tho maturity of tho crop, but tended
to keeji down Insects. Last July
moist or rainy weather was the rule
In. the JSnst belt throughout the
month. This year, weather has been
comparatively dry and warm and
where not too dry to threaten proper
growth, general conditions lmvo ak
afsted materially in tho efforts of
Planters to keep In sects In chock.
VVJint the whole country now needs Is
edpimis rainfall from the Rocky
Mountain region to the Atlantic Sea
board, not only for cotton but for
corn, tobacco and other crops.”
