A tower that cost several thousand

difficult to find. He is hard work

New Orleans Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, July 2.-Bureau reports cost the price of cotton s a bale today. The market stood at the decline through out the session, losing about 20 points in the early trading on expectations of bearish crop statistics and sagging steadily from 10 o'clock on, because these expectations, if anything. were exceeded. Last prices virtually were the lowest of the sesscn. showing net losses of 100 10 102 points. At the irregular lowest both October and December were 103 points down.
 The market did not show much excite ment and was a steady affair in spite of the width of the decline. Spots were marked down a cent a pound and after the posting Of spot quotations contracts went to their lowest. Little new buying came in at the decline and whatever sup port the market had came from tllc profit taking operations of recent sellers.
 The trade generally looked for a con- dition report not to exceed S5 per cens of the normal, whereas the government figures were S5.S; acrage expectaulons were for an increase of about per cent, and the increase was returned at 6.2 per cent A crop estimate of from 145O0,oOo to 100000 bales was expectsd, and the indicated crop was 15,325, Go8. The tone on the close was officially quoted steady.

Our Waxahatchie dis patch says good rains over Ellis coun- ty, and Corsicana also reports rains From the other map these rains are thought to be light, but with colder weather, also reported, they may be the forerunner of further showers where needed. These rains were of more importance than the bureau re- port. because they came week after the report was compiled; that report showing six per cent increase in acre. age, was stated by the government to point to crop of 15,320,000 bales with out linters. The market slowly and gradually receded a cent a pound, from the close of yesterday; the liquidation of the long account yesterday had sup piled all of the trade demand. and in view of the forecast of this crop, in

USE OF CORN FLOUR
 SENDS UP STAPLE
Corn Quoted 1 3-Sc to 2c Over Previous Close, With
 Provisions Stronger

Chicago, July 2.-Prospects that Can ada may take larger quantity of corn flour in the near future gave a notable upward swing today to the corn market here. Prices closed firm, 13s12c net higher, with July s1.49M@1.49s and Sep temper sl.52AG1.5 .527s. Oats gained a shade to 1e. In provisions the outcome varied frcgn 7c decline to 75c advance.
 Announcement that by government or ders, taking effect July 15, the consump- tion of wheat in Canada would be much curtailcd, formed the basis of reports that the use of corn as a substitute might show a big advance. Gossip was current also that s,ociss of corn flour m Canada were light. Big premiums being paid in excesc of the minimEm price for erated as ar additional bullish factor Al first, however, npera1 receipts and fa- vorable wea ther led to moderate de- clines, but only of transient character Big export sales of oats estimated as high as 1,5c0,uO0 bushels caused inde- pendent strength in the oats market. Country offerings to arrive increased on the bulge.
 In provisions pork and lard finished higher, and lard easier. reduction of more than S4,O00,000 pounds in western meat stocks was partly offset by weak ness of tho hog market.

CROP REPORT UPSETS HE COTTON MARKET.
Third Largest Crop on Rec ord Is in Sight, With Con-
 ditions Good

New York, July 1.-The governments crop report pointing to the third largest yield on record was followed by a very severe break in the cotton market to- day. October contracts sold off to g SIC or more than s5 bale below last night s final figures, and closed at g Sic with the general list closing barely steady at a net loss of SS to 1l3 points.
 The market had been looking for a bearish report from the department of agriculture, but the figures exceeded ex- pectations, particularly in reference to acreage, which showed an increase of 62 per cent with an estimated area planted of s7,O7S,Ooo acres. This, with the condition of S5.S. or points above the 10-year average, pointed to a crop of 15.- S25, 900 bales, excluding linters, with aver age conditions hereafter. The market was rather nervous and irregular dur ing the earlier trading. After opening steady at a decline of to 2S points, active months sold about g to s points net lower, but held pretty we'll at this level with moderate rallies on the fore- cast for fair weather in the southwest where rain is needed.
 Publication of the official crop figures proved the signal for heavy selling, how ever, and prices soon showed net losses of some 60 to 80 points. For time of- ferings were pretty well absorbed al this level by trade buying and covering. but the demand was gradually supplied and prices weakened again in the late trading following reports of easier spot markets and rumors of rain in the south. west. July sold off to 26.S9c, or go points net lower, and December to B 45c, making a decline of 102 points from yesterdays s figures.
