WEATHER AND CABLES

Liverpool and the South Mod

Offers Well Absorbed

New York, Aug. 22.-On unfavor-
able weather in the belt and firm cables
the cotton market opened 20 to 80 points
higher.
General. and in many cases heavy,
rains appeared not only in Texas,
where they are needed, but also in the
Mississippi valley and the western por-
tions of the South Atlantic states, where
they will promote insect activities.
Offerings were absorbed on the early
dip and the market firmed up on further
covering and scattered buying, promoted
by the firmer tone of sterling exchange
and belief that prevailing weather
conditions in the South were the very
sort to promote increased insect dam
age
October contracts sold up to 31.60
and January to 31.75, or 80 to go
points above last nights closing figures,
but at these prices there was evidently
disposition to take profits on recent
purchases Liverpool selling also be-
came more active, and the market weak
ened in consequence with prices show
ing breaks Of several points.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 10000 bales, against
20,3S0 a week ago and $3.50 bales a
year ago.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. Aug. 22.-It is believed
that Europe had some liquidating orders
in the market here this morning and
some traders are Of the opinion that the
market opened little lower due to the
cables.
At the same time it would seem that
aggressive selling was checked to some
extent, at least, by fear that further
cables from Santos might be received,
possibly reporting more serious frost
damage. as it is believed that it might
take several days to get detailed re-
ports from the interior. Meanwhile
the bulls are closely watching develop
ments and are ready at any time to

present itself.
