COTTON MARKET IS
QUIET AND NARROW
Sentiment Bearish; Some
Little Short SelIing-Net
Loss 2 to 3 Points

New Orleans. August f3.-The cot
DAY. sentiment was bearish and some
little short selling was stimulated by
the few rains that fell in Texas yes
terday and private reports of more to-
day, but the market was sustained by
the buying of profit taking shorts. The
ring found it difficult to supply the de-
mand from this source. Bulls claimed
that the market was oversold and that
the rains had been discounted,
on the opening the tone was steady
and rices We're 2 to points down on
poor cables and light showers shown
IN Texas by the weather map. Shorts
took their profits from the start and
IN the early trading put prices 2 to 2
points over yesterdays close. This was
the high of the day. The market bs.
came very duh around the middle of
the morning and from then on the
ring did only a small business. No ONT
side orders came in. The detailed
weather reports noted rain at. only q
out OF the 6S weather stations in okla
homa and Texas and the weather fore
cast called for fair weather in these
TWO states These two features helped
TO steady the market in the face of
private reports of showers here and
there in Texas. In the afternoon tba
market fell off to level points un-
der yesterdays last quotations. The
close was steady at a net loss of Q
to points.

CORN At HIGHEST
PRICES OF SEASON
Continued Drouth Sends
Grain Up-Wheat and
Oats Share in Rise

Chicago, August 13-corn mounted
today to the highest prices that have
been reached this season. The advance
so complete that places in Kansas will
not even get back enough corn for
seed. Closing figures were steady. 4 TO
p a sc above last night. Wheat fin
ished 4 a %e to as@lae up. oats un-
changed to 1sc lower and provisions at
a decline of I 1ac to. 171a a2oe.
An immense business was done in
corn. Bull leaders here seemed disposed
at first to take profits and to a great
extent did so on the theory that there
should be a reaction after the decided
upturn which had taken place the day
before. Prices, however, failed to re-
eede as much as expected and attempts
to reinstate investments carried the
market swiftly upgrade.
Temperatures above 100 for 80 days
in Kansas and no rain for five weeks in
Oklahoma made the most hardened
short sellers hesitate about attempt
Ing to fight the rise in the corn mar
ket. The area too far gone to be helped
by soaking rain extended today To
southern Illinois, where a downpour
was deealred to have been too late and
to have brought no benefit.
Export sales said to aggregate $780,
600 bushels led to fresh buying of OPP
tions in wheat. A big increase in the
worlds visible stock tended to induce
temporary weakness but was offset by
a bullish crop report from the French
government. Primary receipts in the
United States were 1888, ,000 bushels; a
year ago 1.647, 600 bushels. Seaboard
elearanees of wheat and flour equalled
$4,000 bushels.
Increasing receipts put oats under
pressure In the end. however shorts

the local unions To advise their members
to ignore the use of such machines.
Delegate Kitchens. in his speech on the
floor made statements which President
Lynch construed to be an unjust reflection
on the foremen OF the composing rooms.
Such an argument, whereby a delegate
abuses a foreman in order to curry favor
with the delegates is the cheapest kind
of buneombe." declared President Lynch.
At the conclusion of his reply to Hitch

Mr. Kitchens still demanded the floor,
but the president would not recognize him,
and the question was put, the laws con-
