BREAKS
ON TEXAS RAINS
Bulls Step Aside to Await the
Bureau Report Commission
Houses Heavy Sellers.

NEW YORK, Aug. Good weather
over the entire belt and weak call caused
selling movement in cotton at the open
ing here today and prices were from 10
to % points lower than the previous close.
After the start the market became very
unsettled on indications for further rains
in Texas and showery weather over the
belt Big interests were ranged on both
sides of the market. After fifteen minutes
of trading prices had broken from % to 20
points below yesterdays close and offer
ings were heavy. Afterward the market
rallied somewhat.
During the afternoon trading the ring
and commission houses continued to sell,
with very little support shown to the
market, and prices showed a further de-
cline of II to IA points from the early
range. The bull element seems to be
standing aside awaiting the bureau re-
port. The free liquidation and snort
ring crowd selling that is going on may
push prices some lower, proving conclu-
sively that this is strictly a weather
market. Many anticipate that the bureau
report will be of bullish character. If
these anticipations are realized, a rally
IN prices is sure to follow its publica-
ton.
At the close the market was steady,
with net losses of Is to IS points below
the previous close.
