lNTHE COTTON MARKETS
Weather Influences viii from Now On Pre-
dominate 10 Speculation.
THE REPORTS, HOWEVER. ARE CONFLICTING
ON the Line of the Southern Pacific
Conditions Are Promising-Ah
Futures Closed Lower.

Houston. Tuesday. July 81.

Houston, Tuesday, July 81.
From now on the weather conditions will
decide the course cotton viii take. The crop
has not in many years been in such pc
cui!ar condition. II is from four to six weeks
late. and all previous weather records have
bean broken this year. Never was there such
4 heavy rainfall in the spring since cotton
has beer. raised in Texas. The fall up TO
date 10 above the average for the entire year
under normal conditions.
Opinicns are diverse as they can be. Hardly
any two men can be found who will agree as
TO the outlook. For instance. gentleman at
McDade talked to two farmers. One said the
crop was in frst-olsss condition, while the
other declared that IL was ruined.
gentleman who has just returned from a
trip over the Southern Pacific SAYS that he
never saw cotton looking better. The stand
is good, the helds clean and the weed looking
healthy However. the cotton Is what might
be termed sappy. but should the weather b,
dry the stalks would fruit and should frost
be late good top crop would be raised, and
much OF the weed now branching out might
bear fruit On the other hand continuance
OF the showery weather means simply wocdy
growth.
Everything in the spot line closed unchanged
with New Orleans lower to sell which is
natural since the July squeeze has ended
Nevertheless, there is a splendid field for
strong interests to manipulate August. and
they may do so. Just as they did with July,
Futures were weaker on the weekly weather
report
Liverpool reduced spots S-S2d and futures
from 20 . points on near months 20 to 5
on far positions.
New York futures opened with August down
g. September and other months 10 s
points On closing August was of II points,
September and October points and other
months to { points.
Futures in New Orleans opened with August

wool.
Especial to The Post.)

New York. July Sl.-The opening Of the
market in lightweight wooens has given the
promise rattle rthan the reality OF activity
in woolens generally. Western buyers are
here ard some from nelghboring cities, The
scale Of the American Wooden compauy's Of
ftrings show a range OF cents advance for
some fabrics over last years boom prices TO
some several cents below On the whole
quotations are about even The large guam
uty OF old stock undoubtedly held in certain
quarters has tendency to retard decided
advance.
The demand for raw wool Is strong. The
Ohio stcck is strengthening especially: local
holders have been locking forward 70 sub
stAnta profits in the near future. Signs point
strongly to the probability that manufacturers
will be forced to enter the market for West
ern wool and purchase at considerably higher
prices than those now ruling.
