COTTON LOWER ON
WEATHER REPORTS
More Rain in Texas Is Factor
in Decline
UNDERGONE rs HEAVY
Outside Demand Is Almost Completely
Checked But Reports of Scarcity
of Spot Cotton Cause
Some Recovery

New York, August 5.-A further selling
movement in the cotton market today,
based on renewed reports of rain in Texas,
resulted in loss of II to 10 points in new
crop positions and some aggressive selling
by room bears. The undertone continued
heavy until the early afternoon, when the
trade became impressed with the idea that
rain news had been exaggerated for mar
ket purposes and covering movement
began which carried prices up to points
above the lowest of the day.
Outside demand, however, was almost
completely checked by the talk of break
in the Texas drouth and the buying Of
trade interests while fairly active at the
decline, was by no means SO large as on
previous days this week The strongest
position in the local market was August,
which advanced 20 points over the pre-
vious night on active covering by shorts,
who had been disappointed in buying cot
ton In the south. 1t was found that TIE
big purchases for May and July delivery
had swept the south almost bare of cot
ton and shorts were therefore FORCED TO
cover In the open market.
The market opened steady with August
1 point lower and old months to IL
points lower and after a brief rally of a
few points continued it's downward course,
reaching lowest figures in the late after
noon, when bears made determined Ell
fort to force stop-loss selling. Just be-
fore the close. however new buying de-
veloped and reports that 100000 pieces of
cloth had been sold at firm prices In Fall
River with demand excellent and buyers
inclined to advance bids.
Prices rallied and the close was with
August 20 points higher and other months
2 to II points net lower.
Receipts at the ports today, ll42 Bales
against 1922 last week and 1879 last year.
For the week, 10000 bales, against 207S0
last week, and 10,257 last year. Today
receipts at New Orleans, Sos bales, against
757 last year, and at Houston 442 bales,
against 80 last year.

u,bb,rd Bro.. & Co.'s Letter

New York. August 5.--(Special)- Ca
bles were poorer than was expected and
the opening was weak on the uncer-
tainty as to the adequacy of moisture In
Texas where half dozen points report
rain. The temperature there Is more
reasonable. Bull support was lessened
TODAY and the tendency is lower with a
possible exaggerated stress on the Texas
situation and as pressure Is frequent
the market yields readily. The gulf and
Atlantic states report rains but without
speculative effort a. narrow movement
of prices is probable. Trade reports are
conflicting.
