LOCAL DATA
COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Liverpool was easier this morning on reported showers in Texas and our market followed this decline to a great extent. Quite a few private reports reached us that there were showers scattered throughout northern Texas, and the principal place where they fell was around the Fort Worth district. These showers cannot be classed as good rains; and, as a matter of fact, if hot weather follows in their wake, there will be heavy dam age done to the cotton as the plant will be more numerable to the heat than before. If the weather does not break now and we have no general rains, there is a likelihood that the drought will continue for another two weeks, for that usually is the case in Texas. A noticeable feature in the market was the lack of selling induced by these showers, as it was generally anticipated that any rain at all would bring very heavy liquidation. The market is hold ing steady in anticipation of a slightly bearish bureau and this afternoon found an evening-up process going on. After the bureau report tomorrow we will be able to have clearer idea as to just what to expect as to the future. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow: October, 16.02d, and December, 15.67d.- Hubbard Bros. & Go.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-08

They find more b; rgains among new offerings than among well known and well seasoned issues. This is quite un Herstandable, seeing that in order to attract buyers, it usually necessary to fix the price below the level at which similar securities have. reached after becoming widely known and quoted. New issues, in other words, have to be sold, whereas old issues have already been sold.
