There were plenty of predictions of general rains over the whole state, but the trade is not In a mood now to take anything for granted, as tho danger is too immi- rent and serious. Shorts who had profits thought discretion the better part of valor, and took them in on the decline. They figured that another dry map on Monday might easily wipe out their profits, especially since Liverpool leaves no clue 70 what her next move will ne The Chronicle reports Texas, Louis lana, southern Alabama and districts of Mississippi needing rain, and as hay- ing had little CT none during the week. Possibly this port steadied Liverpool this morning, as oreigners place great reliance on the conservatism and ac- curacy of the Chronicle.

The same authority failed to give anything new In the crop situation. It's summary stated that moisture Is needed in some districts. Reports to Bradstreet are much more specific. Their reports state that conditions have improved in the Atlantic districts; the crop is In es- cellent condition fin the Savannah dis trict; rains have benefited 1t in the Mont gomery and Chattanooga districts while In Texas rain is needed in the northern part Dsilas calls the cotton situation unchanged Temperatures have been as high as 104 the past week in Texas. Liv- erpool advices today reflected the hesita- ton of local trade in adopting decided views. prices there being about half point over yesterday. with little doing In spots. While weak longs were selling freely not a little good buying replaced them, and 1t wss a question whether the Texas rains were not in measure dis- counted.

Corn and oats had good arguments of their own to sustain prices therefore, when July wheat closed 5sG% lower, July corn gained as and July oats stood Ac higher.

The crop reports as rule were bes,rlsh except those from Texas, where rain was said to be iplperatively needed to save the crop
 The Chronicles weekly crop weather review failed to note actual change or damage to tire Texas crop as result of the dry weather, but indicated a critical stage in the developments. Southern spot market news was at d standstill. Re ceipts at all points were mere shadow as compared with the movement for last year. and lead to estimates for the week at the ports of !2.0O0 to H,1Oc bales against nearly 10000 baics for the same week year ago. The temperatures over the northern belt were exceptionally low, but this failed to attract special attention in local trade circles.
