Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says. Wheat
traders regarded the rally yesterday as
only natural following a four days de-
cline. Bears are looking for lower prices
with a continuation of the liberal hedg-
ing sales. One cash handler looks for a
free movement. believing tight money
will force the grain to terminals and ex-
port business will be the best possible
thing for the country.
Corn traders were mixed last night,
most Uf them being bearish Many OF
the longs have unloaded. The bulls fig
ure that the market is heavily oversoId
and had reports from Kansas that the
crop has been damaged by the recent
high temperatures
There are many bears in oats who be-
lieVe that the rally yesterday was only
temporary Cutting or early oats has
commenced in Southern Illinois and
yields are said to be light. Chief argu-
ment OF bears is that stocks of old oats
are too large for big bull movement at
present.

Split Houses Favor
Clarke'S Amendment

NEW YORK, July 11.-Advices from
kilograms and letters which are cur
rent. state that many. if not a ma
jority. of the large spot cotton firms
and many mills favor the passage Of
the Clarke amendment. believing II will
enable them to buy their spot cotton
from the planter cheaper than at
present
II said that the open competition and
broadcast distribution of the market in
formation and uotations kept the pro-
Queer Of cotton well posted under rul-
ing prices from hour to hour and day
to day. This would not be the case
with the adoption Of the Clarke amend
ment. as it would leave the cotton mar
kets IN the hands Of simply the few
spot dealers
With the adoption OF the Clarke
amendment there would be a fixed tax
~ so cents a bale for hedging contracts.
When the local cotton buyer in interior
towns buys his cotton from the farmer
his bid price would be low enough TO
enable him TO hedge. his contract and
Gay the 90 cents a bale tax. and the
farmer. therefore. would indirectly have
10 pay this tax If the head and Off
Gals Of the Farmers Union could real
lze what this amendment means, and
would look at il from purely a business
standpoint. they would oppose the
Clarke amendment and try to introduce
some bill that would perpetuate the ex-
change and encourage competition that
makes a broad market for cotton This
tax reduces the value of cotton on a
collateral with the bank as protection
In all lines of business has become a
necessity.

a fine general precipitation in the Cen
trail and Eastern States. Indications
are for partly cloudy and showery
weather In the belt, except fair in the
lower half Of Texas.
There is a cool wave now heading for
the Western States, which should bring
general rains and cooler weather on
Texas within the next six days, pre-.
coded, as usual, by a short heat spell
of no consequence.
The market was inclined to open
lower on good reports concerning the
crop and the favorable weather pros
poets. but controlling influences in New
York at once advanced August prices
and by this show of power checked all
selling. with the consequence that the
market remained idle around last
nights closing figures

ducing area of Texas is practically free

BEARISH ADVICES
DEPRESS COTTON
Lower Temperatures and Weak
ness of Summer Months Cause
General Selling.

NEW YORK, July 11-At the open-
ing Of the cotton market the feeling was
generally bearish and prices were un-
changed to 4 points lower than Thurs
days final The ring was inclined TO
sell on favorable weather conditions,
rams being fairly well distributed over
the central and eastern belt.
Inc Government records show a tenn
perature average in Oklahoma of SO de-
grees, which is 4 degrees lower. Tenn
perature average in Texas was 100 de-
grees, with five stations 100, four sta
tons reporting 102 degrees, nine stations
lO4 and four stations LOG degrees
rms, together with favorable reports
on the condition of the crop issued by
Cordill and Habersham King, resulted
in general selling movement after the
call. Before the call, however, July and
December rallied ? to points from the
opening range.
The ring. Wall Street and brokers rep
resenting spot houses sold the market
heavily, resulting in prices losing s to
IL points from last nights close. Both
July and August touched 12c. Summer
positions were given no support. This
was In part explained by the fact that
late months reflected favorable weather
and crop news
During the late forenoon, prices re-
covered 2 to points of the early de
cline through more active buying,
which seemed to come mainly from a
few scattered shorts. The selling, how
ever. continued general.
