COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady today at a de-
cline of to points under scattering
liquidation and local selling, which was
inspired by> further showers in the
south, press advices indicating an in
creasing probability of a contraband
declaration by the allies and rather dis
appointing domestic mill consumption
figures for the month of July.
General business was quiet, however,
while Liverpool made a, relatively
steady showing, and after selling about
5 to points net lower the market
showed very little feature during the
early trading.

EARLY STRENGTH YIELDS
TO DECLINE ALL AROUND
Large Chicago Receipts and Increas-
ed First-Hand Consignments
Have Bearish Effect on Wheat.

CHICAGO, August 14.-Large receipts
here and notices of increased consign-
ments from first hands had q bearish
effect today on wheat. At first, however.
the market showed some strength as a
result of firmness in the Liverpool mar
ket and of assertions that no appreciate
amounts of British purchases in America
had been cancelled. Predictions OF light
world shipments tended also to harden
prices at the outset.
The opening. which ranged from II OIL
to Is up, with September at 1O71s 10
1O7A and December at 1861 to 107. was
followed by slight general advance
and then a material decline all around.
Corn Eases Off With Wheat.
Corn eased off when wheat turned weak.
Trade was confined in the main to tran
sactions between pit spectators. After
opening unchanged to u higher, the mar
ket underwent moderate sag.
Lack of buying support was apparent
in oats. Better weather for harvesting
seemed to inspire general selling by COM
mission houses.
Provisions gave way to some extent
under the influence of lower quotations
for hogs and grain. The volume or busl-
ness was very small.
Concerns that generally act for the
seaboard were fair wheat buyers on the
decline The weakness of sterling ex-
change, though, was said to be operating
as decided check on exporters Prices
closed unsettled. q to under last night,
with September at 1858 and December
1865.
No important corn rally ensued. the

The production of the Greene Cananea
Copper Company from the date Of resump-

follows: .
There were produced 3,o21,62S pounds
of copper. 121.479 ounces of silver and
<S7 ounces of gold These figures do not
include ores handled. Greene Cana nea
has come quite up to the official predic-
tions, but recent advice from the property
expres&s some doubt as to their being
able TO equal July's record during August,
for the reason that some difficulty is
being experienced in securing the neces-
sary amount Of labor. The Greene
Cananea property, however, Is in condi-
ton to produce at least four million
pounds Of the red metal monthly just as
soon as conditions are normal.
