SHOWERS PREDICTED IN NORTHWEST TEXAS
Cotton Unsettled As Result Closing 1 Higher to 3
 Points Lower

New York, July 22.-The government forecast predicting cloudy weather in the west and possibly showers in north west Texas unsettled the cotton market somewhat today although new crops pre- sented a steady appearance at times sold Up six to seven points over the previous close. Trade was not large and out side of early buying for Liverpool ac- count against sales in that market, showed no particular feature. The close was steady and point higher to 3 lower.
 Throughout the entire day fluctuations were guided largely by the varying news from the southwest. The highest levels were attained when detailed weather re- ports showed very high temperatures in Oklahoma, practically all stations re- porting maximums of laN degrees or over.
 There were many bullish advices in re- gard to conditions in Texas yet even these were varied by other reports claim ing that the crop could withstand dry weather until August l. Taking the re- ports as whole, however, they indicated that in any event the Texas crop is likely to be a very spotted one. Bulls laid considerable stress on the fact that Texas conditions in short crop years of 1903, 1905 and 1907 were very similar to those of the present season, especially as to the amount of rainfall, except that July precipitation this year is probably the smallest In the history of the state Practically all reports from sections east of the river on the other hand were very favorable and clear weather with mod crate temperatures was again predicted

SUNDAY CONCERTS WILL BE GIVEN TEST Declares Jackson Mayor
 Had No Authority to
 Stop Concerts

Jackson. Miss, July 22.-(Special) Those Jacksonites who favor band con- certs Sunday afternoons are going to put the matter to the test. At the in stance of some of the ministers Mayor Taylor recently ordained that'there should be no sacred concerts on Sundays. One minister has taken the opposite view of the case and insists on the concerts. In order to settle the controversy as to the power and authority of the mayor to stop such concerts. District Attorney Howie has been appealed to and gives a written opinion to the effect that the mayor has nothing to do with it, that there Is no law prohibiting the concerts. and that the mayor cannot make laws.
 Backed up with this opinion the leader of the military band has announced that he would give a sacred concert at the park Sunday afternoon from to o'clock and that the ministers of the city would be invited to be present and preach short sermons If they so desired So far the invitation has not been accepted
 The prospect Is that this Sunday after noon band concert will be much more largely attended than are those given during the week.

AFTERNOON TEA FOR
 MRS. KILGORE IN ENSLEY

One of the largest and most interest ing events of yesterday was an after noon tea with Mrs Morris R. Johnson and Miss Olla Scott as joint hostesses at the home of the former In Ensley. complimenting their aunt, Mrs. E. B. kilgore of St. Petersburg, Fla.
 Pink and white was the color scheme chosen for the house decorations and the rooms on the lower floor were con verted into a lovely bower of bright colored flowers which made pretty setting for the summery gowns worn by the guests and receiving party.
 Mrs. Floyd W. Place stood at the door and the card tray was held by little Robert Chadwick. More than a hun dred guests left cards between the hours of and 6.
 esses and honoree were Mrs. N. w. Scott Mrs. Frances Phillips, Miss Maybeth Beddow, Mrs. Claude Rogers and Mrs Howard Mussey Mrs. Johnson was be- comingly gowned in white lace with pale pink girdle. Miss Scott wore pink crepe de chine and Mrs. Kilgore's cos- tune was of white voile with shadow lace trimmings.
 The lace covered dining table held a basket of pink and white carnations as a central ornament and the hints and bon bons further emphasized the pink and white color motif. Here Mrs. George Hutchlngs, in her usual charming man ner. presided at the tea table. Others assisting in serving the plates were; Mrs. R. E. Chadwick, Mrs. M. T. Melon, Miss Carrie Kent and Miss Marian Kent.

MARKET HOLDS FAIRLY FIRM Union Pacific, Steel and Others Above Tuesdays
 Best Prices

New York. July 22.-Despite the pro- posed New Haven dissolution suit and the abandonment of the Rock Island re- organization plan today's stock market held fairly firm in that class of se- curities whose present and future seem reasonably assured
 Some issues rose above the preceding days best prices, notably Union Pa Bethlehem Steel, Studebaker and Amerl- mated Copper, but failed to hold their advantage. New Haven fell two points at the outset. but recovered part of it's loss Other semi-active stocks of specu- lative value also made moderate impor- tant
 A mixed variety of epecialties gained from 1 to points. including Harvester, eBthlehem Steel, Studebaker and Ameri- can Tobacco. It was in stocks and bonds of less prominence that severe recessions occurred. Virtually all the Rock Islands lost ground. Missouri Pacific stocks and bonds were weak. Denver and Rio Grande 5s and Colorado Midland As re- corded marked lasses. In face the acute weakness in the bonds of the minor rail- ways constituted the most disquieting feature of the season, which closed with an irregular tone.
 Reports of further damage to crops in the northwest were offset by addition al favorable advices respecting the steel industry.
 Investment bonds evinced an easier tone. Total sales par value aggregated $2.796, ,000-
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

OUTLOOK BAD FOR
 AN AVERAGE YIELD
Black Rust and Heat Make the Wheat Market
 Soar

Chicago, July 22.-Blaek rust and heat spelling the outlook for even an average yield in the spring crop belt made the wheat market today tend to soar. The close was firm 7s to 1c to Ae above last night. Corn showed a net advance of of A@%e to ssc, and ats finished i4 off to 1sc up. In pro visions the outcome ranged from 221s decline to gain of IF @ Dc.
 It generally was admitted that all prospect of a big crop of wheat in the northwest was gone. There seemed to be no doubt that virtually all the Da- kotas and Minnesota had been over- spread to a greater or less extent by black rust. There was also high au- thority for an opinion that the spring wheat harvest should equal an average.
 Houses that do much of the export business here were conspicuous buyers.
 Predictions that the government would stop altogether the importing of damaged corn from Argentina, put strength into the corn market There was noticeable scantiness of re- ceipts. Hedging sales kept the oats market relatively weak. Pork and lard broke under unloading.
 Future uuotations were as follows:

MARKET WITHIN
 NARROW LIMITS More Attention Paid Texas Weather-ClOse 2 Points
 Up to 2 Down

New Orleans, July 22.--Cotton moved within narrow limits today. standing about points down at it's lowest and to 4 points up at it's highest and closing points up to points down.
 The trade paid more attention to Texas weather than to any other fea- lures. The map was dry so far as the western belt was concerned and during the day private telegrams said that no rain had fallen in Texas. This caused the buying. The forecast of showers for a portion of west Texas and the belief among the bear element that the long drouth in the west wes about to be broken caused the sell ing.
 Some uneasiness was caused in the afternoon by telegrams stating that clouds were appearing in Texas. Re- ceipt of five bales of new cotton at Houston was a bearish feature, as also was the report of the first bale of the Alabama crop, but no real selling power developed at an ytime.
