Corn was steady to ’ H c lower early, but

Government’s Crop Estimate
Brings High Price Levels.
Heavy Rains in Texas.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2.—Cotton opened
firmer today with advances ranging from I
unchanged to 8 points above the previous i
close. Kirin cables acted as a partial i
offset to heavy showers in central Texas. |
and the weather map showing very favor- 1
able conditions over the entire belt. •
77 was expected. After the start the list!
worked off, but steadied again on cover
ing and bull support.
At 11 o’clock the government flashed its
condition report as of July 25 at 76.5,
against 80.4 last month and 89.1 last year.
The report was considered of a very bull
ish character, and within ten minutes
after its publication prices had made a
continuous rise of 21 to 27 points on new i
crop conditions from the early range,
through the aggressiveness of the local
and uptown crowd. August was not
shown any support and this option made
a downward shoot of 9 points from the
opening. The ring crowd and big profes
sionals during the afternoon session be
gan to liquidate their long lines annd the
market became weak, makig a backward
step of 7 to 14 points from the high levels
of the day.
At the close the market was easy, with
prices showing a net gain of 10 to 13
points from the final quotations of Thurs
day.

Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Carpenter, Bag- .
& Co.: The government report is
very bullish. Due to manipulation and
i local ring selling you may »ee tempo
[ rary declines from time to time, but we ;
favor the long side, and would buy it on I
■ all soft spots.
It is believed the market has been pretty
well evened up and there will not oe
much change until the report.
Browne, Drakefcrd & Co., Liverpool, .
cable: “Little offering; trade calling.”
Dallas wires: “Texas, south and west,

• Paris, Henrietta, Eastland. Oklahoma,

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2.—The weather
. map shows very favorable conditions;
cloudy all over Texas and Oklahoma,
i lemperatures much lower; raining now
from Ahilene to Kort Worth; good rain
fall at t L'ort Worth; lighter rains in Abi
lene and Taylor. Government records at ;
10 o clock likely to show good ruins at
several points. Some good showers in i
Atlantic. 4 *, indications arc* for extensive
rainfall coming on Texas; cloudy, showery
weather in rest of belt.
Reliable weather information shows ;
heat spell in Texas and Oklahoma com
pletely broken. Temperatures 15 degrees '
lower. Ample rainfall. Government rec
ords at 10 o’clock will show good rains. 1
Austin, Texas, wires: “Weather threat
ening; rain expected any moment; 15 new :
bales here today.”
Government shows a temperature aver- :
age for the state of Texas of only 94 de
grees and of <B4 degres in Oklahoma. Only 1
six stations in Texas show temperature of
100 or above, against 28 stations the day
before.
Galveston wires: “First bales are being i
received in central Texas earlier than last i
year. Brownwood seven days earlier. I
Look for heavy August movement.” ‘ j
New Orleans Times-Democrat says:;
Opinion played a curious role yesterday ;
and the course of the cotton market re- .
fleeted the near presence of a climax of ,
some sort. It was the old story of con- <
tidence in the scope, magnitude and ben
eficial results of privately reported rains !
in the West, shown by one faction, <con
fllcting with the close adherence by the
other faction to the official reports of
comparatively little rain !n the West.
The (rouble here lies in the fact that the
government data are made up at 8 o’clock
in the morning, while the brokerage house
correspondents have free access to the
wires all day long. On rainfall the gov
ernment plays the part of historian, while
the individual may be a prophet, a guess
er, a liar or an enthusiast. And so it I
follows that on Texas precipitation, one ;
school of speculation depends squarely ;
on the belated but accurate official rec
ords. while the other school, the wish of 1
ten being father to the thought, accepts I
without question any message that sug- !
gests rain in the West during the drouth ;
i season. Under such circumstances the
I contract market sometimes lacks the
i trained guidance of the cautious and
! skillful speculator. Yestenkiy’s market
: was an excellent illustration of off day ;
I doings. Nevertheless today’s develop
ments will be required to show whether ,
the three days' reaction of 64 points on
New Orleans October was justified by
better crop weather, or whether the plaj
of the reactionary has been merely a crude
way of temporarily breaking values.

Number of Issues Recede Frac
tionally After Initial Gains.
Railroads Steady.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2. —A strong under
tone marked the opening of the stock
market today, nearly all of the leading
issues scoring initial gains of from % to
■’b points. After the first few minutes of
trading, however, irregularity developed
and the best figures were generally
shaded.
Firmness was shown by such market
leaders as Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cific. Steel common. Great Northern pre
ferred. Northern Pacific, Consolidated Gas,
Reading. Atchison and Lehigh Valley.
Intel borough preferred was one of the
strongest features with a gain of nearly
a point. Canadian Pacific was off 1 point
on profit-taking.
American shares were firm in the Lon
don market, but dealings were narrow.
Canadian Pacific was off on profit-taking.
The curb market opened irregular.
In the late forenoon an easier tone de
veloped on profit-taking sales; and a num
ber of stocks receded fractionally. Steel
common held firm, while the preferred
declined The majority of the railroad
stocks were steady. international Har
vester was exceptionally strong, moving
up a point to 124%.
Business was small in the last hour
of trading and the market leaders in
dicated very little change from the mid
day prices. Westinghouse and Interna
tional Harvester were strong, making
further fractional gains. Slight 'losses
were sustained in Steel. Amalgamated,
New Y'ork Central and Reading.
The market closed easier. Governments
steady; other bonds firm.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Thompson. Towle & Co.: Think the
market is technically in a strong position
Should report show under 77 we should
strongly advise bytying.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: Average ex-
place figures at about 77. but
the market is forgetting condition figures
now and should the rains reported in the
Southwest be confirmed, it will be found
hard to prevent a further decline.
Miller N- Co.: While the spot situation
may sustain prices, think temporarily
strength should be met with sales.
Met rherger. Sinn & Co.: We think that
anything under or above these figures,
77 to 78%, should govern whether one
■should buy or sell.

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.: We have favorable opinion of
cotton seed oil for the long run. though
in such a dull market any effort to fur
ther depress prices may be successful to
the extent where the winter months would
sell below 6 cents, but on any further de
cline we strongly favor buying.
