SELLING IN COTTON
MARKET IMPROVED
Moisture in Texas Has Bene-
ficial Effect-GOOd Buy
ers on Decline

New York. July 25-Quite general but
light rains developed over much of the
southwest on Thursday and Friday of this
week, relieving the drouth in many parts
of Texas and Oklahoma and promoting a
selling movement in the local cotton
market which put new crop positions
down about 81 per bale 1t was consid-
cred doubtful. however, upon careful
study of the detailed reports from Texas,
If the big producing counties of that state
had received sufficient moisture to fully
restore the crop position after three
weeks OF dry, hot weather and as trade
interests proved to be good buyers on
the decline, there was a quick upturn
near the close today. which carried prices
up about 10 points from the bottom. Over
the eastern belt showers prevailed al
most the entire week with a drop in
temperature of 10 to 20 degrees from the
scorchlng weather noted at the close Of
last week, and crop accounts from that
section were uniformly favorable Aetiv-

SUBSTANTIAL RALLY
IN COTTON MARKET
Prices Advance 8 to II
POints-Close Unchanged
to 2 Points Lower

New York, July 25.-The first sub
stantial rally that the cotton market
has seen in three days occurred this
afternoon when prices advanced to Il
points from the lowest in the last hour,
and closed unchanged to points net
lower on old crops and 1 point lower
TO points higher on late positions,
with the undertone steady. Disappolnt-
ment over the failure of the much eX-
plotted southwest rain area to en-
brace central and eastern Texas, to-
gether with sudden introduction of
good buying orders by trade interests
chiefly accounted for this energetic aft
ernoon upturn.
At the immediate opening the market
was barely steady with prices to IL
points lower, the old crops again show
ing most heaviness under renewed Iiouis
dation of July and August. The sell
ing of fall and winter months was also
on quite a liberal scale early as there
seemed to be good confirmation of the
rumored rains in Texas and Oklahoma,
but the detailed reports at noon first
drew attention to the fact that rainfall
in Texas was chiefly In the sections
producing the least cotton. This made
the trade apprehensiVe about the whole
western rain situation and there was
general tightening on short lines
which reached It's climax in the late
afternoon. Regarding the eastern belt
there was no change in the favorable
situation which has prevailed for a
week past and temperatures continued
very moderate, but bears were not so
hopeful at the close of the day about
Texas as they had been previously. The
week end figures were considered rath-
er bullish but had little effect on the
market. Notices on about 2500 bales of
July were rendered today and taken up
by Wall street houses.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. July 25.-(SpecialD D
Rains in Texas Is reported today were
the reason for early extensive selling
which temporarily depressed prices.
These rains were in the northern por-
tion, but few in the central and south
ern parts where cloudy and colder
weather prevails.
With cables a shade lower our mar
ket opened easier with selling off old
crop deliveries and later free offerings
of the new crop. This was followed bv
short covering which rallied prices
due largely TO unexpectedly good trade
buying.
The trade outlook is for good fall
business and operators face a sure de-
mand for the early crop receipts. Adj
vices from Texas vary but prospects
for large yield dazzle observers
whose estimates are not in accord, rum
ming is high as 100000 bales in some
instances undoubtedly and exaggerat-
ing fiure.
Early marketing is expected Au-
gust 10. The rally was well held to
the close.
