To-day's features: The downward ten
| dency OF cotton prices to-day was OF very
! brief duration. Liverpool was lower ana
! rains were reported I'm sections .of the
| Southwest But the official weather re-
port showed that the precipitation for
I forty-eight hours was very light. In Ar
! kansas the total was only PA inches.
while in Texas there was practically none
at all. But the monthly government re-
! port was the chief factor In the specula-
/ ZION. 1t reported n EftGflOiHfiOn CURING
July Of 1874 per cent, giving the condition
! at SOL per cent, against 92.5 on July lst.
! and 7l9 on August /. 1895. The condition
| last year was the lowest ever reported in
| August
The report stated that in the drought
| stricken regions what rain had fallen
was too late TO be Of benefit; that IN Mis-
| sisslpDi and Arkansas the damage by
| drought and heat was irreparahle.
! So prices rallied. and advanced rapidly.
| There was some realizing before the close,
but the oner1ngs were readily absorbed,
| and the last prices were near the top fig
| ures OF the day. Some operators say that
! the government report has overestimated
| the damage done by drought and the In
contend that the damage has not
been overestimated. and that the crop has
| deteriorated fully 80 per cent. since Au-
gust LIST. Spot cotton here was frmer and
| more active.
