NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—The cotton
market opened easy at a decline of
12 to 24 pointe owing to relatively
easy Liverpool cables and the hope
of cooler weather in the southwest.
There also was some bearish com-
ment on the par values issued by
the government for the interpreta-
tion of the mid-August condition
figures, but these showed no greater
increase over the August 1 pars
than last year, the chief factor ap-
pearing to be the report of showers
in parts of Texas and Oklahoma.
December contracts sold off to
23.71 in early trading, about 25 to
18 points net lower, but offerings
tapered off at the decline and the
market was comparatively quiet at
the end of the first hour, as
Forenoon trading remained com-
paratively quiet, moderate rallies
bringing out some further southern,
Well street or local selling, but of-
ferings' were much lighter asd the
market held fairly steady on coy-
ering. December waa selling around
23.77 at mid-day or about * pointe
up from the lowest, with the gen-
eral list showing net declines" of 18
to 20 points.
Light early afternoon buying de-
veloped on detailed weather reports
showing very high temperatures in
the south, but after selling up to
23.86 for December the market
broke, on reports of good rains on
one of the larger producing coun-
ties of central Texas. December
sold off to 23.58, active months wen-
crally showing net losses of 36 to
40 points at 3 o'clock, %

OLNEY, Texas, Aug. 18—A. A.
Cooper and the Plains Production
Company are drilling their second
well on the Haygood’ farm about
four miles east of Olney, and two
miles southeast of the Litchfield- -
Campbell pool. Their first well was 7
drilled on the south half of the Hay-
Food farm. Encouraged by the
showing of the flrat well, the seg-l
ond well was located to the north:
cast on a location 600 feet south
and 150 feet east of the Wolf-Hay
gotia well, which was- recently
defied and regsrding which there
have been many favorable reports
on oil send found et a depth 61 976

might have been made.If the casing
■ seat could have been made to hold.
There have been several wells
drilled in this neighborhood, all of
which found small streaks of rich
oil sand, but so far no producer has
been completed due to the fact that
all these wells have shown from 13
to 16 feet sand with oil sand on top
surface not rich enough to justify
setting casing. Ths well now being
drilled by Cooper and the Plains
“Barr pany will be watched with great
interest by the fraternity.

BURN AT RUMBLE
HOUSTON, Aug 13— Fire which
started from a prairie and bush
fire destroyed ten 600-barrel oil
tanks of the Texas Company at
Humble, Texas, late Wednesday aft-
ernoon The flames were discovered
, about iJO- p. m.
The tanks: were of cypress and
burned fiercely. All efforts to ex-
tinguish the blase were futile. A
A total of about 2,000 barrole of nil
was destroyed, none of the tanks
) being full.
\ Hundreds’ of people were at-
tracted to the scene by the heavy
smoke and roaring of the flames.
, Memployes from ell surrounding
d. fields were rushed to the scene but
7 the heat prevented anyone getting
IntAnise enough to right the fire. Live
... from a two-inch pipe laid
quickly from a nearby set of bolt-
er* to the burning tanks was turned
on but failed to* have any effect.
/ The fire burned until about 7.30
p. m. When the last of the tanks
in the area was consumed.

first - time thla week, the, cattle
market dragged badly, sales of
steers and cows averaging around
16 to 25 cents down, but calves held
to a steady level. Receipts were
estimated at 4,500 head of cattle and
1,800 calves. Mixed shipments made
up a large quota of the receipts and
cows were In the majority.
Several care of fairly useful
steers were here, but nothing was
really choice. Offerings were around
25 cents lower from the outset and
It was very late before anything
went sealeward. Actual sales were
around 15 to 25 cents down.

Cows were taken at rates that-were

eline of 15 to 25 cent a. canners ex-
periencing rather rough sledding,
while the bear faf cows escaped with
comparatively small punishment.
Canners sold down to 175. Helfers
and yearlings were in light receipt,
the trade being alow. But thla faced
a downward revision through sym-
pathy with general trade conditions.
No weakness could be detected in
the calf trade. Buyer* were out
early, and the demand held out as
long as anything was available.
Several sales of carloads ranged
from $7 to $8.
The stocker trade was quiet.

New Orleans Cotton
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 13.()— The
cotton market had a weak opening
owing to Liverpool cables being con-
siderably lower than due. First
trades showed losses of 13 to 24
points and although there was a
slight—rally—right after—the call
prices soon eased off again. October
dropping to 22.86 and December to
The market gradually rallied dur-
ing the second hour of trading on
reports of rapid crop deterioration
and increasing insect damage. Oc-
tober traded up to 23.03 and De-
comber to 23.35.. or 17 points on
both positions from the early lows.
A study of the latest government
pare indicated that the increases
were not more than the normal for
this period of the season. Trading
relapsed Into extreme quiet later In
the morning end prices eased off a
few points to 22.97 for October and
23.19 for December, or 6 points
down from the high. h . . ------.-----.
The markeet after ruling very 8.00 ewes, 5.091 6.00; culls 1.00@2.00;

around noon owing, to reports of
rains in Texas And generally favor-
able crop advices from the west. All
active months made new lows with
October at 22.70 and December at
22.92. There was a slight rally, but
ring sentiment continued bearish
under the Impression that the next
government report will in. rease the
crop estimate. Exports for the day
totaled 4,232 bales.

Electra Making
Bid to Become
Mining Center
When ite vaet oil resources, which
have as yet beea practically un-
touched by the drillers’ bit, are ex-
hausted, Electra mey some time in
the future see its name emblazoned
among such world renowned min-
ing centers as Tonopah, Nome, Jop-
lin and Crippls Creek.
This transformation from a pro-
ductive oil field to a buoy mining
center le expected to be realised as
a result of ths outcome of an un-
usual experiment in mining to the
oil sands on the Mrs. Grace Jenning
land southeast of Electra. The six-
foot shaft, which has been put down
over a wall which at one time pro-
duced from.a shallow sand, hit tho
pay at 70 fast and as a tribute to
the engineerlag skill of E. M. Car-
tar, who has charge of the expert-
meat. there reposes on the desk of
the oil editor in The Times office, a
chunk of rich ell eend, weighing
five and one-half pounds, extracted
from the said “diggins."
The experiment, which it really
is, if successful, will have a far
reaching effect on the depleted
shallow areas, the contention being
made that whoa the well ceases to
produce,with the aid of a pump,
enough oil is still left in the sup-
posedly dry sands to be, with the
process to be need by the Carter tn-
terests, of sufficient quantity to
give profitable returns to the own-
ers. -
Further development at the “dig-
gins" ■ will be watched with more
than usual interest by the frater.
