PRIVATE REPORTS OF
GOOD RAINS IN TEXAS
Cotton Sells Rather Freely.
Close Steady at Loss of
10 to 15 Points

New Orleans, July 26.-The cotton mar
ket was sold rather freely at times to-
day on private reports of good rains in
Texas and of reports of many sales of
new cotton at points in that state. Bears
did not push the advantage these ac-
counts gave them because the official
weather reports noted rains atEonly eight
of the so stations in the Houston district
and at only one station of the II in the
Oklahoma district. The market had an
easy undertone throughout the short
weekend session, with the greatest weak
ness shown in the last few minutes of
trading.
The opening was steady at a decline of
. to points. Cables were slightly better
than due but offerings We're stimulated by
the few rains in Texas noted on the map
and private reports of good showers in
several important counties of that state.
The market gradually fell Off until late
in the morning 1t stood 10 to 16 points
under the last quotations of yesterday.
The close was steady at a net loss OF
10 TO 10 points.
A feature of the morning was a pri-
vate bureau report on condition of SO per
cent of the normal, indicating a loss for
the month of 3 of a point. This served
to further increase the belief that the
August condition report by the govern
ment will not be far from the July figures
and that It will not greatly favor short
selling of the new crop months.

Weekly Cotton Review

New Orleans, July 26-The cotton mar
ket displayed great irregularity In its
| fluctuations this week, chiefly as the re-
| suit of the liquidation of the July posi-
| tion. The net results of the week S trad
| ing were a loss of 43 to 50 points. The
| high prices were made on Monday and
| Tuesday and the low prices on Satur-
| day. At the highest the trading months
were "a points over to 3 points under
| last weeks close; at the lowest they were
| "A to SO points under. The range was Al
| to SO points.
trading in July. The months was sold
| heavily by longs who seemed either tired
of their holdings or afraid of the rumors
that leading long interests had quietly
| liquidated their contracts. Selling spread
| to August and the new crop months but
July bore the brunt of the pressure, losing
| about three-quarters of cent a pound
| in two sessions. A little hedge selling and
a very little short selling accompanied
| the liquidation. At the end of the week
| it was generally considered that no more
| operations of consequence In the old crop
months were possible.
| The new crop months were adversely af-
| fected by rains that fell over the belt.
At the end of the week Texas and Okla
| homa still claimed to have sections that
needed moisture but nearly all other
states appeared to have received suffi-
cient precipitation for the time being
| Very little interest was taken In the
pending report on condition by the gov
ernment, although the condition period
ended Friday.
In the spot department prices lost seven
sixteenths of a cent, middling closing at
| IL cents, against 12 7-16 cents last week
and 1874 cents this week last year. Sales
on the spot amounted to S51 bales, against
50S bales last week and 74s bales this
week last year. Sales to arrive amount
ed to 1866 bales, against 1872 bales last
week and asa bales this week last year.

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF COTTON GOODS

New York. July 26.-Cotton goods
markets are generally steady. Trad
ing is confined largely to deliveries In
the next few weeks although some
business is being placed for the late
fall months and for spring distribu-
tion.
Fine and fancy goods trading is con-
fined to high novelties. Road salesmen
are expecting to book considerable new
forward business as the crop harvet-
ing period approaches and the uncer-
tainties in legislation are set out.
Stocks are at low point. The sum
mer vacations of many people is tend
ing to restrict the output and selling
agencies report a lack of seasonable
accumulation of spot goods. This is do
ing much to hold prices steady
Prints are quiet in narrow widths
Percales are being sold we'll for future
delivery
Bleached cottons are behind In de-
liveries owing to the pressure for GER
tain merchandise. Ginghams are quiet
for spring. Ducks rule steady and un-
chan ged
Denims are sold ahead for the next
two months. Tickings are sold closely
till September 15. Jobbers are doing
a moderate business and after the retail
inventories are completed next week
they look for an active inquiry from
retailers. Prices are as follows: Print
cloths, 3S-inch, 64x64s, 3Ac: 64x60s
3hc: 3S1a Inch, 64x6ic, SC; standard
sheetings, southern, 7%c; tickings, s.

HEAVY SELLING IN
COTTON MARKET
Southwestern Drouth Be-
lieved Broken-Close
Is Steady

New York. July 26.--It was the opin-
ion in cotton market circles here to-
dav that bv Monday the drouth IN the
southwest, particularly In southeast
Texas, would be broken. A low pafoh
eter prevailed throughout the central
west promoting showery conditions ana
the official forecast indicated unsettiea
weather over most of Texas and OKLA
homa tomorrow. with this in mind
room traders became heavy sellers OF
cotton and after opening steady at q
decline of l to 8 points, the marker
worked off constantly until at the close
which was steady at a net decline OF
to ia points, the lowest levels of the
present downward movement were
reached The fact that most authorities
agree that the Texas crop has not been
damaged by beyond repair gave assur-
ances that the expected rains, II heaVy
and general enough, would restore tne
magnificent crop outlook there. FRI
vate advices were generally although
calling attention to the need of rain
in the southwest General Improvement
in conditions over Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi during the past month
was noted in the crop report OF a local
trade paper while a prominent mouse
here issued crop condition hsure OF
SS against 1873 on June 20. SOUTH
ern crop expert wired that west of the
river the crop will average better than
last year. although general rain Is
needed over a large area Some OF the
cotton covered late yesterday on fears
that the predicted rains might not ma
terialize was put out again today on
every fresh assurance of rains In
Texas.
Aside from little trade demand and
occasional scattered covering there was
little support at any time during the
forenoon.

Ancient Library Found

From the New York Press.
The fact has recently been made public
that there is In the city of Constantipole
a curious library, of which the natives
had scarcely any knowledge before the
fall of the ancient regime and to which.
until then. foreigners We're never adj
mitted.
The library of the Hagia Sophia, found
ed by Sultan Mahmud, who reigned from
| 1142 to 115S, consists of but 1000 volumes
All are manuscripts, none of which has
ever been put into print. They lay heaped
up on big shelves behind a trellised gate
In small hall adjoining the mosque.
The library represents an immense value
each volume being worth from $1,000 70
| $10,O 600.
There does not exist any catalog of
these treasures, upon which the dust OF
centuries has been accommodating, and
there are very few savants able to de-
cipher them.
The ten rarest manuscripts are kept in
| heavy trunk, which has the form OF
a mosque. This trunk Gtself over 20O(
| years old) is covered all over with moth
| er-of-pearl. 1t is a worthy receptacle for
| the manuscripts, all of which have an
| age of nearly 5000 years. Only few great
| scholars, who live in Khiva, Turkestan
| master the languageN>in which they are
written.

| 1920. 1t is a copy of the Arabic work
| "Kanun Al Tebb,' by Avicenna who

The great European libraries possess
also copies of this work. none, how
ever, can compete with 1t in regard tc

BLACK RUST NEWS
TENDS To AID BULLS
Wheat Market Closes at
Advance of 1-S01-4c
to 1-4(03-Sc

Chicago. July 26-Buying that started
with one of the largest houses in the
trade lifted wheat today after a show of
weakness at the outset. Black rust re-
ports from Minnesota tended to aid the
bulls. The market closed steady at a
net advance of 1s9j4c to A6ssc. Corn fin
ished with a gain of 1l4Glssca11sc. oats
up &c to 1lse, and provisions ranging
from 21hc off to an upturn of 1215c.
Bearishness in wheat early resulted from
weak cables and from reassuring domestic
spring crop. Purchasing. however, soon
became general. helped by statements that
every bushel of wheat can be bought IN
any quarter of the country finds ready sale
for eastern shipment at about &c over the
September option. Export sales at St.
Louis and New York counted also against
the bears.
Black rust talk seemed to make no i'm
preston in the wheat pit until the last
hour. The fact that Minneapolis quota
tions appeared to be Influenced by fresh
developments regarding danger from
fungus was to considerable extent what
held Chicago prices finally at the top level
reached. Export clearances of wheat and
flour equalled 81 600 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts of wheat We're 1,S16.0Q0sbushels; a
year ago 1,564000 bushels.
Failure of expected rains in the south
west brought about active buying OF
corn. High temperatures in Kansas served
also to increase the desire for material
advance in prices. There were extremely
bad crop reports from Indiana, Illinois and
Nebraska. The continued unfavorable
tbreshing returns made oats readily move
upgrade with corn.
Provisions hardened on account of the
bulge in coarse grain. One of yesterdays S
heaviest sellers reinstated his holdings
