Heavy Dealing In United States
Steel at a Fractional Loss,
Other Issues Lower.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
NEW YORK, Aug. 24.—Heaviness de
veloped at the opening of today's stock
market. Practically all active issues
showed marked declines with a loss of
a point and a quarter In American To
bacco preferred and one In Canadian Pa
cific and Erle. There were heavy deal
ings in I". S. Steel at a fractional loss
and Union Pacific. Reading. Northern
Pacific and Southern Pacific all were
lower.
Unmistakable liquidation set in dur
ing the noon hour, particularly in the
Harrimans, which went well below the
lowest prices of the year. Weakness of
these stocks resulted from rumors that
a strike had been officially declared on
Southern Pacific lines, while selling of
steel was continued in large volume,
was ascribed to trade developments.
The shutting down of a big independ
ent plant in New . Jersey was cited as
proof of the adverse conditions now
confronting that industry.
The market fell away again in the
second hour under selling which con
centrated on steel, sending that stock
under its low prices of the year. The
entire list declined In sympathy. At
noon heaviness was most marked. The
trading element was clearly at work
again with an admixture of liquidation.
Bonds were heavy.
A substantial rally from the low
prices of midday was made in the next
hour, the recovery being due to denials
of a crisis in the labor situation on the
Southern Pacific. Union Pacific and
Reading rallied a point or more with
lesser gains in U. S. Steel. The list then
resumed its accustomed apathy.
New low prices for the movement
were made by Southern Pacific and
ther declines elsewhere. Selling waspn
American Tobacco preferred with fur
ther declines elsewhere. Selling was
moderate except in steel and. Union Pa
cific and the movement in a small way
resembled the recent liquidation move
ment. Before the end of the first hour
Canadian Pacific had fallen 1 5-8. Union
Pacific 1 3-8, with one point losses in
nearly all stocks of the speculative
class. From this level there was a very
slight recovery.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 24.—Cotton fu
tures opened steady at the decline of
11012 points down. Cables were much
lower than due a nd the market filled
wit It private reports of rains in Texas
and Oklahoma, which stimulated short
selling. The market showed scattered
showers over the cotton region, but did
not confirm private accounts of heavy
and general rains in the western belt.
Bulls offered no support and all the
buying power the market had was de
rived from realizing shorts. At the end
of the first hair hour of business prices
were 70 12 points under yesterday's
colse. , _
Buving for short account Increased
atcund the middle of the morning and
Steadied tile market. Later additional
strength was derived from the fact that
n private crop reporting bureau was out
with a condition report of 76 or 77. This
rumor was not confirmed or denied, but
it resulted in considerable long buying,
especially by the scalping element. Out
siders still held aloof from the market.
Private reports late in the morning told
of good rains in Oklahoma, but they
had no effect on prices. At noon the
trading months were 2 to 3 points under
yesterday's close.
The market closed steady at a net de

In the afternoon session the market
was quiet. At 2 o'clock prices were 2® ,

SEASON FOR COTTON
PICKING NEARING END
Nueces County Will Have
Ginned Over 10,000 Bales
Soon, It Is Claimed,
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Aug. 24.—
The cotton picking season Is now more
than half over, likewise the ginning of
the cotton for 1911, though there are
many balei to be ginned yet in thia sec
tion of the state. It is thought Nueces
county, with its thirteen gins will have
over 10.000 bales of cotton this year,
of which 2000 and more will be ginned
on the bluff in Corpus Christi.
Up to yesterday evening the Caldwell
gin had turned out 681 bales, the Trott
gin 858 bales and the Harrisons new gin
about 125, a total of 1844, or nearly
2000 bales.
The local market price of the staple
yesterday was ll%c, basis middling.
The cotton Is being shipped to the noi
tliern and foreign markets as fast as it
Is ginned.
Sidney Borden, one of our leading
buyers. BhlMMd 350 hales from Corpus
Christi and surrounding points in tne
last two days.
COTTON GOSSIP
The market opened at a steady de
cline this morning on much lower cables
than expected an.l numerous reports of
drenching rains overnight In Texas and
Oklahoma, which stimulated short sell
ing. No credence was given reports of
heavy precipitation, hut the scattered
showers over the cotton region were
confirmed by the market. The bulls re
fUMd to offer any support and by the
realizing shorts the market was sworn
of all buying power.
New crop months sold severs! points
under yesterday's close during the early
morning, hut were lifted slightly by a
renewal of bull support. Shorts were
made nervous liy the approaching gov
ernment condition figures ami prices
rallied from the lowest during the early
hours of trading.
New York: “After the long period of
decline, which it must be said has been
after all of a most orderly character,
some recovery may result, but the un
usual aftermath of such a decline Is a
period of dullness."

POTATOES ME '

Lemons Also Up—Prices In
crease $1 Per Box In Cali
fornia—Now $4,50 Here.
A reversal from the general decline
in prices the early part of the week
came Qil" morning In the form of sev
eral advances, which will place price*
on some commdditles higher than orig
inally, In California yesterday lemons
advanced $1 per box, as the result of a
heavy demand all over the country and
light shipments to all markets. During
the past season, lemon shipments from
California during some weeks averaged
only one car per day. and at other times
ten to fifteen cars dally. At no time,
however, have the supplies at any mar
ket throughout the country t>een suffi
cient to supply the demand, with an ex
cess. The new price on lemons will b«
$4.5u, to be effective in Ban Antonio
the latter part of this week. This is
the medium quotation thak as a rule,
holds steady throughout the year under
normal conditions.
The other advance was in potatoes,
which today are ten cents higher In
California. This, however, will not af
fect this market until tomorrow, and
dealers are taking advantage of cheaper
prices today and laying in supplies. It
is not expected that potatoes will be
any cheaper during the remainder of
this year as the lute quotations have
been town to “bed rock.” The past sev
eral weeks gardeners have been receiv
ing only $1 per hundredweight for po
tatoes. This Is as low as they can be
sold to allow any margin at all for the
grower. The advance was due to heavy
demand and the fact that up to this
time the Colorado crop has not been
readv io ship as well as to the better
matured condition of potactes at the
present time, which enables dealers to
ne insured against deterioration The
first ear of Colorado potatoes will ar
rive on the local markets Monday. The
quotation, as usual with the first Colo
rado spuds, will be high. Further ad
vances on potatoes are expected.
Black grapes have declined to $1,560
1.60 per crate. The green grapes ar*
quoted steady at $1.25 for the Thomp
s.m seedless variety. Pears are slightlv
higher at $2.25 per crate, with the qual
ity of the stock extremely good, and im
proving with further shipments.
The coffee market is evincing a fur
ther firmness and the trade this morn
ing was in anticipation of more ad
vances.
Dried fruits were quoted at a slight
decline this morning, the reduction be
ing only fractional, however.
With the latest advance in the sugar
market, the new quotationi has been
lilaced at $6 65. ruling at all southern
markets.
