New Orleans, La, June 26.-Our mar
ket opened practically unchanged as the
weather map showed that showers had
fallen only over the eastern portion OF
the cotton belt with fair weather preva-
lent over the central and western por-
tions. The prediction, however, was for
probable showers in Southern Texas to-
night and Friday, and subsequently
showers were reported today there in
Galveston, Houston, NaVasotoalice,
Skidmore, Sommerville. Yoakum, Bee
willie, Hallettsville, San Antonio, Kenne-
dy, Sinton Gregory Flatonia and Cicero.
This information caused a steady decline
during the day, making the net loss II
to 13 points on all months eXcaDt July,
which only sold off 2. These showers IN
Southern Texas are anticipated as
forunner of good local rains shortly in
that State, and if realized will superin-
duce a further decline, especially as the
reports relative to King Edwards con-
dition are certainly discOuraging. On
the other hand the nom naturalization
of general rains in Texas during the next
week or ten days will occasion a sharp
reaction. H. & 3. BEER.
