ANOTHER BIC BREAK
IN COTTON MARKET
Net Loss for the Day Is
Between 26 and %
Points

New York, August 1.-There was re-
newal of sensationally heavy liquidation
in the cotton market today resulting In
another big break. While the close was
6 or points upsfrom the lowest on cover
ing with the final tone steady, the net
loss for the day was between &c and Is
points.
The market opened easy at a decline
of IS to Is points and during the first few
minutes sold "a to q points net lower.
Easy Liverpool cables, private reports OF
further showers In the southwest, and
the failurs of the two private condition
reports published before the opening to
create any buying power of consequence
evidently inspired general commission
house liquidation
The decline was checked by the realiz-
ing of recent sellers or buying by trade
interests. and after the official detailed
weather report for the Houston district
showing rainfall at once at three sta
tions and high temperatures at many
points. the market rallied some 10 to %
points from the lowest. Later private
reports indicating further showers and
that rainfall was becoming general in the
southwest started renewed liquidation,
however, and the market broke into new
low ground with active months selling
about 80 to "a points net lower. october
contracts declined to 1255e and December
to 12.63c. comparing with 13.20c and lS.25c
the high points of last Monday. Covering
of shorts caused a rally during the last
half hour, but while prices held steady
at the close, the undertone betrayed con-
tinued nervousness.
One of the private crop reports pub
lished early made the condition 11.5,
against s1.3 last month, and another
placed 1t at 1919. against S1.9 last month.
A canvass of the local trade resulted
in IA individual guesses as to the show
ing of the government report tomorrow
which averaged 77.3 per cent.
Receipts. $50 bales, against 1889 last
week and 1855 last year. Today's receipts
at Galveston, 235, against none last year
at New Orleans, So, against 800 last year
and at Houston 1876 against 1904 last year

o Now Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 1.-Cotton
futures opened steady at the decline or
n loss of IL to 20 points on poor cables
and reports of rains in Texas. The
weather map noted rain over the cot
ton belt except in the extreme west
Private dispatches told of rains at
points where 1T has been needed for
some time
OFFERING from long side were heavy
around the call and shorts sold some
cotton. The tendency among the latter
was to take profits. Soon after the call
the most active months were 20 points
down. With the end Of the first half
hour OF business prices were II to ID
points under yesterdays quotations.
The list displayed no marked activity
at any time during the morning, but
there was steady pressure to sell. This
came mainly from the long side who
continued to liquidate on reports of rain
In Texas. Private kilograms from the
west told of showers and rains here and
there in both Texas and Oklahoma. AL
though the general xpectation was
that the condition report of tie gov
eminent would be bullish it had little
or no influence on prices. Short sell
ing was heavy at times and Increased
offerings materially.
At the lowest of the day the trading
months were 33 to "a points under yes
terday's close. Prices at noon were rs
to 81 points down.
Futures were dull and featureless,
but steady. Half an hour before the
close prices were 20 to points under
yesterdays close.

|BULLISH SENTIMENT
RE|GNS IN ARENA
Wheat Prices Close Steady
A@}sc Lower to a
Shade Up

Chicago. August 1.-Closing down of ex-
port business today tended to head off
an advance in wheat Despite eonsid-
cradle bull activity prices closed steady,
AQssc lower to shade up as compared
with the day before.
Corn finished AQssc to 1asc net higher.
Oats unchanged to 1-16c higher, and pro-
visions varying from 7lk@loc off to a rise
OF 214Q5c.
Obstacles to foreign trade in wheat came
from an upturn in ocean freight rates
and partly because transatlantic demand
seemed content with recent liberal sales.
At the outset the merchandising pros
pect both foreign and domestic seemed
to promise well and notice was taken of
the fact that receipts here were remark
ably meager. All the wheat, also delv-
cred on July contracts. had gone to one
strong interest, a circumstance which II
was set forth would make short selling of
September decidedly greater risk in
August
Bullish sentiment for this reason for
while reigned In the arena. Arrivals of
wheat at Omaha, Kansas City and st.
Louis, about four times as large as a
year ago, had a bearlsh effect. Sugges-
tions that the total yield in the United
States this season would reach as high as
700, 100000 bushels, and that North Dakota.
heretofore doubtful, would have the big
gest crop ever known, had like ef-
feet.
September ranged from 93ssd9rsc to
93Ac, with final sales at 931s@93Ssc, OF
just fraction above last night.
Dry weather in Missouri afforded q
basis for aggressive action by corn deal
ers In the bull clique. September closed
firm, 1ssc net higher at 6S1sc.
Cash grades were strong. No. yellow
was quoted at 75@75&e.
Oats received an impetus upward from
corn, but there was neutralizing influ-
ence in the continued reports of huge
yields in all directions. Outside limits
touched by September were 1850 and 34it
d3414c. with the close 1-16c advanced at
34l4 ta34Ssc.
Poor demand made some of the packers
inclined to unload. In consequence, Sep
tember pork weakened Kdl1oc net, but
the provisions market, however, remained
within DC of the close of yesterday.

New York, August dealings III
stocks today were more active. the distri-
button wider and the tone stronger than
in any recent session. At times espee'ai-
Iy in the first hour, when transactiohs
aggregated almost 100000 shares, the mar
ket assumed an air approaching puoyahcy'
which was temporarily arrested by prof1t
taking. In the final hour. after the
declaration OF the regular dividend on
st. Paul common, activity was resumed
and higher prices were established.
The movement today derived no small
part of its impulse from abroad, London
sending over list of general advances

opened here with a new high record ana
a gain of 4 points, while practically all
speculative favorites were up point or
more. A few specialties shared in the
rise. which was most significant. how
ever, from the fact that it had its lead
ership in the standard railway shares,

tivity and sold at its best price in sew
eral weeks. Today's gains in every issue
of known merit, as We'll as many of the

The action of the St Paul directors
could hardly have been based on finan-

the maintenance of the regular dividend
as an indication that the very powerful
