Intense Heat Wave Causes a Slim
 Attendance of Stock Manipulators
By JOHN c. MOSES

c. MOSES
 With crop news on the upgrade, and an increase in new crop offerings, cotton
 went off s6 to S per bale yesterday. There were reports of rain in Texas the Houston dispatches showing precipita-
 tion at eight points. The rally of some 30 to 40 points from the low level of the late forenoon met increased offer
 ings on further private reports of rain in Texas, and the markS later was ir- ! regular, with October ruling around 2S.S3c and January 27.S1c, or about 90 to 10l points net lower during the middle after noon. The eastern belt conditions were reported fair.
 The government came to the rescue of l corn in the pit by announcing that ac- | tual damage had been done by excessive | heat in the belt. Oats were bullish on | export purchasing, said to reach 5OO,00O I bushels. Hogs were at almost record figures, carrying the provision list up- ward.

At many leading industrial centers there was Suspension of operations. Some of the more ex- treme losses were partly recovered during the noon hour. General Motors made up half it's decline, and American Tobecco rallied points. Union Pacific was added to the firm rails, but prominent indus trials were barely steady.

Over W. E. Campbcfrs Wire

New Orleans, August "A wide reac- tion occurred in cotton. today, prices dropping 113 to 122 points before the recoveries featured the trading of the afternoon. Much liquidation came from recent buyers, but there was also large volume of short selling from bearish traders who were favorably impressed by reports from Texas that rain was threatening at many points.
 The reaction was to have been ex- pected and it clears the situation. Tech. nically the market is much stronger, for it is in position to respond to.new bullish influences of any importance, should they develop. As far as the Texas mois ture is concerned. it is mainly imasi. nary. Barely more than dozen sta- whereas something approaching general and heavy rains fell in Louisiana. Ac cording to some private advices from Texas. rains would do more harm than good, because of the vast amount Of open cotton, in the first place, and be- cause the plant in many localities ap- pears to have made about all 1t will, rain or no rain. In some counties the crop appears to be ruined beyond re- pair. just as in southwest Oklahoma, ac- cording to the government, "crops are mostly ruined beyond recovery"
 The hurricane passed inland without doing much more than local damage, and was apparently dissipated. It proved to be only small storm. The crop on the whole continues to deteriorate, and we believe cotton is a purchase on ful- ther recessions. & Gluck.

New Orleans, August 1.-The storm struck the western Louisiana coast and broke up in the coast region. Texas was not affected at all. and the map this morning shows the drouth and hea: spell unbroken over the west. General rains occurred in Louisiana and show CTS in Mississippi. Indications are for increasing cloudiness in northwest Tex as. Oklahoma and Arkansas, where some precipitation is likely from a western local disturbance passing northeastward. Partly cloudy to fair in east Texas; gen. orally cloudy east of the river, with scat tered showers.
 Our market opened 40 to 30 points down on what seemed to be the result of wrong ideas of the storm. many believing it had gone into Texas, causing general rains. which caused the selling. AS soon as the truth became known. the market rallied.
 Wire communication to Texas was in terrupted by last nights storm in west ern Louisiana, and facts about tine weather did not get into the interior promptly.
 Temperatures continue high over the entire belt
 Yesterdays spot quotations showed a material rise in prices, which are now generally between 29 and 30 cents for middling.

Joe Curl Heard From

Joe A. Curl, formerly of Wran- gell, who enlisted in the British Navy in 1914, and who was sup posed to be dead on account of no word having been received from h;m for two years. is still very much alive, according to a letter written by him in London to E. F. Carlstrom of Wrangell.
 MT. Curl states that he has been too busy fighting for the past two years to devote much time to correspondence. MT. Curl's life has been that of a pa triot. At the outbreak of the Spanish American war he was a mere boy. too young to enlist. He obtai:ied the permission of his parents and enlisted in the Sta e of Idaho. When the unpleasant ness with Spain was over MT. Curl came north. stopping in Wrangell. He spent several years here, working much of the time for the Wilson & Sylvester Mill company. la 1914 when he thought the United States Was going to declare war against Mexico he returned to Idaho to enlist. But Uncle Sam did not go to war with Mexico as he eXpec- ted. In the meantime the great European war had begun, and MT. Curl went to London where he enlisted in the British Navy. 4 few months later he was wounded in sNirmish at the en- trance to the North Sea. He was taken to a hospital in London, and while convalescing married his nurse. A year later he was a father. While he was at the Dardanelles his wife had occasion to make a short voyage. The ship on which she took passage was torpedoed and she and her four months babe perished. It is therefore easy to understand why MT. Curl's letter betrays a most intense hatred for the Hun. His address is
