NEW YORK, Sept. 2s-The market open
ed l to 6 higher for cotton, Liverpool adj
vances being fully up to expectation, and
the absence of confirmation reports of
rains in Texas making shorts rather ner-
vous pending the bureau report due at
noon. Receipts promised to be heavy, but
this made no impression on the early mar
ket, since further news of deterioration
was coming in by mail and wire, especial
~ from Texas. The early weather bulle-
tin indicated no rain, over night, except
to a small extent at Vicksburg, Mont
gomery and Charleston. Firms who have
been hesitating have been wheeling into
line since the crop has failed to make
the Roadway looked for. In fact, the Au-
gust drouth has been such that the con-
clusion reached by the best people is that
anything more of crop than will be re-
quired is out of the question, and probably
less will be made. ,...,s
