Sun,s Cnttnn Rau1arnr

New York, July 30.--The Suns cotton re. view says: Cotton advanced Il to 15 points. but reacted and closely barely steady at a net advance of to points, with sales of 257, 100 bales.
 Todays features: In Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi the weather for some time past has been hot and dry, and today num- erouS telegrams reporting damage to the crop were received from those states. So the nervous shorts covered and put up prices sharply. Then, too, local operators bought. New Orleans was a good buyer here. and Liverpool advanced both for spots and lutures Stop orders were reached on the way up and contributed to the strength of the market. Spot cotton here was firm and some of the southern spot markets were higher. The exports from the ports were larger. Most of the improvement was lost before the close, however, on realizing. At the close prices showed only small net rise

Chicago, H., July 30.-On the Cincinnati Price Currents summary of crop conditions for the past week. which was unquestion- ably bullish, wheat opened at a gain over yesterday. That was the extent of the strength in today's market, for within five minutes the offerings became profuse and the direction of prices immediately turned down. The Indiana state report became public towards the end of the session, and for that state influenced the crowd to sell even more freely than they had previously. September wheat opened at 59isQ59asc, de- clined to 5SGl5S1sc, closing at 5SSse5S1ac, 9sc under yesterday Cash wheat was weak and 1s0D1c per bushel lower.
 Corn opened barely steady and readily oined in the declining course marked out by wheat. The cutting of rates by western roads has resulted in a movement in corn, which grows daily, and 1t is confidently predicted by receivers that next week will witness something almost unprecedented in the receipts. Taken in connection with the had the effect of causing a decided depres- sion in this market. September corn opened at 24Bc, declined to 24Ac, closing at 242sQ 2412c, 3sc under yesterday Cash corn was weak and 12c per bushel lower.
 Whilst declining slightly in response to the weakness of the other markets, oats able extent by the independent undertone of firmness which has existed for some time past. September oats closed 1sa14c lower. Cash oats were firm.

Cotton Letter.


 New York, July 0.-(Special.) )-Liverpool at last awohe today to the fact that the promise of monster crop would hardly be filled. The sharp rise there stimulated buy ing here and gave us lively market.
 January opened at 6.70 and quickly ad- vaneed to 6.75. In spite of the constant fluc- tuations, a strong undertone prevailed dur ing most of the day. Towards the close profit taking by room traders caused a re- cession, but final prices were fully points higher than those of last evening. January closed at 665Q6.66, with the tone barely steady.
 We are satisfied that the recent deteriora- tion of the crop has been rapid, serious and wide spread. This is not inconsistent with the fact that the crop will be very early, but we can no longer advise our friends to sell cotton, unless there should be a sudden and material change in the crop situation. We expect prices to go much higher. The unprotected short interest is still very large and in a state of fright. We advise our friends to buy cotton upon every. recession.
