NEW ORLEANS. Aug 10-Liverpool
showed surprising weakness toward the
close with futures about points lower
than due; spots points lower: several
cables said the decline was caused by the
rumor of an important failure in our mar
ket. No one here knows of any failure
or even suspicion of one. The rumor is,
therefore, unfOunded. The weather map
shows fair in Oklahoma, in western Ar
kansas and the Atlantic coast districts.
Generally cloudy elsewhere; good rains
in the northern half of Texas; also i'm the
western portion; no rain in the southern
half of Texas, general rains in the cen
trail ad eastern states; very heavy in north
Louisiana and heavy It many stations in
north Alabama, Georgia and South Caro-
lima. Indications are for cloudy, unset
tied ShOWery weather. except in the
northwestern quarter of Florida. which
may have fair weather Precipitation in
the central and eastern states. except
possibly in East Tennessee and North
Carolina should not be as heavy as dur
ing the past two days. our market
opened little easier on the poor Liver
pool, but selling was well taken.
The demand came from shorts to cover
over Sunday and on the belief that rainy
weather in central states viii bring dam
age reports, and also in ANTICIPATION of a
bulliSh crop report by The 'Emes 7f9emO-
crat Monday. Further rainy weather it

TENDER spot commitments many hold OF

considerably above future prices.
In reply to an inquiry. a well-posted
party in south Texas answers that rain
is needed from Taylor south. but no harm
vet. New York did not encourage the
reaction idea. but became weak in the
last hour. which led to a loss of all the
gain here, October selling back to / 90.
McFadden interests were reported as
leading sellers. The weather over Sun
day will probably affect trading mate
rally early next week. Further heavy
and general rains would strengthen the
belief in damage and late crop, while
clearing weather would encourage selling
on anticipation of improving crop news
and an increase in early receipts.
