hubbard. Price & Co. s cotton circular says:
Both New York and Liverpool have to-day
shown rather steader market for contracts in
those positions, which indicate the value of the
new crop. Attention here has been again con
centrated upon August manipulation, which
has suddenly developed new phase, to the
confusion of ali interested In the space of
about little or no time the market was ad-
vanced from 10 Bic to 10 90c, and then again
declined to 10 40c The ultimate issue of tho
squeeze is difficult to guess, but 1t is very evil
dent that the market is complet ly in the con-
troll of operators, and that the deal has not
been abandoned from any inability on their
part TO carry out their designs. The causes in
fuencing new crop deliveries have been mainly
the improved foreign demand and rumors of
serious damages by the rain storm which has
just swept over the SOUTH Whether the latter
DE well founded or not, the interruption to
transportation and communication will tend to
make the crop even later than was anticipated
a few days ago The accumulation of cotton in
tins market continues. 1t seems not improbable
that the last day of AugusJ will see a very large
stock-say 10000 bales-on hand here
