WALL STREET STOCK
 EXCHANGE REPORTS

10:30 a. nn.-The recent liquidation movement in various industrials ap- peared to be checked at the opening of business today. Prices of many representative issues scored advances of half to a point in the first half hour Of trading. O1ls, steels, equip ments, coppers, motors, food and min or railroads were most fancied For eign renittances of all classes showed little variation from September's final figures, but an upward tendency ruled.
 Wall Street, Noon.-The trend. of the market was steadily upward during the morning. Shares which were influenced by favorable news and pool operations made the best showing, but the list generally re- sponded sharply to a broad cover ing movement. Improvement in the foreign exchanges and plentiful sup plies of money at low rates encour- aged more general buying for the long account Gains of one to two points were common with virtually all of the speculative issues repre- sented Royal Dutch was heavy and Mexican Pet also dipped but the later soon rallied briskly. Investment rails were in demand, especially the Pacincs.
 Wall Street 1:30 p. na.-Evidence of increasing confidence in both in vestment and speculative quarters caused extension of the earlier gains. Oils were more prominent, notably Pan-American and Mexican Pet. and tobaccos also forced upward.

 Our Texas reports today from very reliable sources state that the con dition of tnat state figured AZ with an estimated yield of crop at 1900, 000.
 Another report from Bryan, Tex, states that every where the conditions are same, deteri oration generally.
 Weather in Texas continues dry and hot with excessive high tempera- lures. we look for a very low condi- ton report from the government on the first of September and feel with patience one can buy cotton on soft spots and receive profitable returns.
