At no time. he said. had paid sbnplove

BEARISH I'M LBENCE
IN COTTON MARKET
Prices Lose Good Part of
Recent Gain-Market
Unsettled

New York. August lS.-A more ia
vorable view of weather conditions in
the southwest was considered response
BILE for considerable liquidation or a
renewal of bear pressure in the cotton
market today and prices lost good
part of their recent gaih offieial adj
vices did not Indicate as much rain in
drouthy sections as suggested by pri-
vate advices. and early declines were
followed by rallies, but the market was
more or less unsettled during he en-
tire day and further private rain or
shower reports caused renewed weak
ness in the late trading. The close
was steady. but net decline OF 10 to
"a points on August and September,
while new crop deliveries were from
10 to 12 points under the final fig
ures of last week.
Liverpool had the rain news before
the local opening and private cables re-
ported liquidation by some of Satur-
days buyers as the cause OF the de-
cline there The start here was easy
at decline of IA to II points and
there were a lot of selling orders
around the ring which probably repre-
sented the unsettling influence of the
rain news on buyers of last week
Offerings however. were pretty well
taken around the initial figures, and
prices gradually rallied There seemed
to be some doubt as to whether the
rains had been sufficient, particularly
as the official forecast was for dry
weather in the western belt with the
exception of showers along tho Texas
coast, and after the first furry OF
selling had spent itself business ta-
pered off pending receipt of the Off
cial detailed reports. These showed
less rain than looked for, ami after
their publication prices rallied to
within point or two Of Saturday $
closing figures A fair amount of pre-
cipitation was shown at some ,of the
central Texas stations, however. and
prices later weakedend again under
private reports of showers In Texas
this afternoon. The close was or 3
points above the early low level.

NEW HIGH RECORDS
ARE MADE BY CORN
Following Weak Opening,
Close Showed 3-S to Sd
Net Advance

Chicago. August 1S.--New high records
foi the season were made by corn today
after a weak opening. The close showed
the net advance of asaa4dssc up at new
high prices for the year, and provisions
made a net gain of flsa&5se
Bull leaders took command soon after
the corn market opened and dominated
the pit for, the remainder OF the days
trading. Rains In the drouth stricken
southwest and easier cables caused a
weak opening. of which Influential pur-
ehasers promptly took advantage Shorts
were eager buyers also and prices rallied.
Then came a temporary reaction, but
the bulls started such a rush of buying
that prices quickly were carried upward
to new high marks for the year in May,
September and December options. \ de-
crease of 1,6S300o bushels in the world s
visible supply and predictions of dry hot
weather In near future seemed to be
among the chief factors animating bull
sentiment.>
Enormous export elearances of wheat
for the day-2, 100000 bushels-gave some
strength to that market after early weak,
ness, the opening being depressed by
easier cables and large world shipments
The strength of the corn market also
helped give firmness to wheat and good
cash demand was an additional uplifting
influence. Demand fell off late in the
session and the market closed easy. Pri-
mary receipts of wheat today were L.
$4,000 bushels, against 2,2l0.000 a year
ago
After an easy opening oats advanced to
the net high mark on good speculative
buying
Light run of hogs at the yards ad-
vanced provisions There was a good in
vestment demand for January options
and shorts were buyers of September and
October

STOCKS ADVANCE
IN ALL QUARTERS
In Addition to the Leading
Issues Oil and Electrics
Make Good Gains

New York, August 1S.-On a compara-
lively small volume of buying, stocks ad-
vaneed in all quarters of the list during
the forepart of today's session. The sup
ply appeared to be seant and under the
lead of the coppers and grangers the mar
ket forged ahead easily. In addition to
the standard issues. the oil and electric
stocks made substantial gains.
In spite of the improving tendency,
traders were not inclined to follow up the
market on the advance. Profit taking, to-
gether with some renewed bear selling,
but into the days gains, bringing back
prices in some cases to the opening level
In the final dealings quotations we're
lifted again, but at the close they fell
short of the days high figures.
Reports of rain in sections where crops
have been suffering severely from drouth
constituted the principal factor IN the
DAYS rise Commission house buying WAS
somewhat larger and Europe took STOCKS
that freely following the advance of Amer
lean shares in London.
There was a slightly easier tendency IN
the money market. Bankers reported in
screasing business in prime mercantile pa
per, both by local and outside instrue-
tions The improved outlook for the
money market during the crop moving
season was an influence in stimulating
bullish sentiment. In the same category
of favorable factors was the report of eX-
ports of domestic products for July, show
ing a total of $47,739,O0O compared with
S330lS.000 last year.
Wells-Fargo made q further decline,
dropping nearly 104 points to 90 a new low
record. In 1909 this stock sold at CO.
Bonds became irregular after an carry
showing of frmness. Total sales, par
value 100000. United States bonds were
unchanged on call.

SELLERS QUICK TO
COVER; STEADY TONE
Support Chiefly From Profit
Taking Shorts-11 to II
Points Net Decline

News Orleans, August 1s-The cotton
market today was adversely affected by
private reports of rains in Texas and
Oklahoma which were not confirmed in
the official returns by the weather bu-
reau. Private kilograms from a number
OF points in the west told of good rains
which ehe short side considered went a.
long way toward relieving the droutf.
Sellers were none too sure of their ground
and We're quick to cover which gave the
market steady tone. Support was
chiefly from profit taking shorts; bulls
bought little and in the early trading let
go considerable cotton
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were Is to II points off. Ca
bles We're much lower than due and the
market was flooded with kilograms from
the west, telling of good rains over
Sunday While the map did not confirm
these reports, selling was heavy on the
first call and for some time after. 1t
was evident that selling orders had ac-
cumulated over Sunday in brokerage Of
fees. After the call prices We're 16 to II
points down, which was the lowest level
of the day.
The detailed weather reports noted rains
in Texas for both Saturday and Sunday.
at only II out of the so weather bureau
stations In that state and the forecast
predicted generally fairsweather for the
western half of the belt, with the excep-
ton of showeks along the gulf coast This
led to considerable buying among shorts
and the market gradually recovered until
In the early afternoon it was within 8 to
points of Saturdays last figures.
Fresh reports of rains In the west in
creased offerings late in the day and the
market closed steady at a net decline of
IL to IL points.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. August 1s.-(Special.) Light
showers fell IN the eastern portion Of
Texas, so far as officially reported they
are not heavy enough to break the drouth.
The trade. however. here and in Europe
think they are beginning of a heavy nain-
fall Under this belief the markets are
10 to IL points lower and the bearish feel
hg aagln dominates the situation. So far
we think the showers have done little ex-
cepting in three or four places where
some three and half inches have fallen.
Meanwhile the remainder of the south
west has deterlorated further since Sat-
urday.
1t Is difficult for one not In immediate
contact with the trade to realize how COM
pletely all views of the future are domi-
mated by Washington, Suppose the
Clarke amendment is passed by the Sem
ate when the farmers are bringing cotton
to market what would be the effect on
prices? is the question asked on every
side.

No change was noted In the poultry and

is a fair demand for frying sized chickens
