SEVERE BREAK
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed at a Net Decline of 63 to 76
 Points

New York, August 2o.-There was . severe break In the cotton market to- day owing to reports of an easier spot Texas December contracts sold off to 2372c, or es points from Saturdays final figures, and closed at that level with the general list closing barely steady at 8 net decline of e3 to 7s points.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 2l to 25 points on private reports of rain in the southwest. After showing a net loss of some 30 to 40 points, the market rallied slightly on the official western belt forecast for partly cloudy weather in Texas and showers in the northern part of the state. Prices soon weakened following the official details weather reports for the Houston district showing that there had been good rains in northern, western and some central portions of Texas. These reports cre- ated an impression that tho drouthy area had been reduced even If relief had not been general, and selling was further stimulated by southern spot ad- vices indicating that the basis was easier. October contracts were relatively weak during the entire day, selling off to 23s5c in the afternoon. or S points net lower, while later months sold 63 to 6s points under Saturdays closing with January touching 2a72c This made a decline of approximately 150 points from the high level of last Wednesday, and there was some scattered covering, but the close was at the lowest point of the day. No exports were reported for the day.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, August 2O.-Corn prices pur- which sent prices down early. being fol- lowed by demand from shorts. which moved the figures above Saturdays clos ing prices. The close was strong. AdaAc higher with December at s1.0sts6I1O87s, and May at 1.O79d .Os1s. Wheat finished at lac to 11sc. In provisions final figures showed an advance of from Sc to 15c.
 Coarse grains developed an over-sold condition shortly after noon and a late rally carried prices up, shorts being generally forced to cover, regardless of the crop outlook, which continued ex- cellent. The cash market was about 5c lower early in the day, but regained part of the decline later in the session. Lo- cal sales aggregated 49,Ooo bushels.
 There was virtually no trade In wheat. only one transaction being recorded in September. the only option in which there was trading This deal was at & .e5 which was Sc above Saturday 8 closing figure
 Oats followed the course of corn with an initial decline and subsequent ally
 As in the corn pit shorts hastening to cover their lines caused the upturn.
 Hogs, which brought top price of S19 65, a new high record price, led to advance in provisions. There was a general opinion that export transactions of larger amounts were imminent

 New Orleans, August N.-The price of cotton was depressed more than 1ac a pound today by selling encouraged by the rains in Texas and reports of an easier spot basis in that state. The market had little support from any quar- ter and sentiment was more bearish than 1t has been on the declining markets of late.
 Early in the day the market was about Ac down and the decline was gradual ly widened with only minor reactions on profit taking by shorts until in the late afternoon, the active months were 60 points under the last on Saturday.
 Official weather returns showed that considerable rain fell over Sunday In Tex as although 1t cannot be said that the drouthy area totally got relief There was quite a general opinion that rains would extend over the state in the next day or two. Whether the moisture is coming too late to help the crop is causing a sharp division of opinion, bear ish traders claiming that the recuperative powers of the cotton plant will still allow Texas to make large crop with a late frost, while bullish traders gem orally consider that the plant Is done for in the drouth- stricken counties.
 Local spots were off 9 points. Private messages from central Texas stated that scarcity of freight room was working against spot prices in that section of the belt.
