Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE Suns cotton re-
view says: Cotton declined 4 to points,
but recovered the loss and advanced II to %
points, closing very steady, with sales of
219, 500 bales.
Today's features: The weekly government
report was the principal factor in the specu-
lation today, and as 1t was decidedly bullish
prices advanced sharply. AT first there was
slight decline in sympathy with the weak
ness in Liverpool, due to large offers of
spot cotton from the south and an absence
of buyers, but later rallied; spot cotton
here advanced, the southern spot markets
were active the exports from the ports
wore liberal, New Orleans advanced, the
south bought and shorts covered The Tex
as commissioner of agriculture reiterated
his previous estimate OF the Texas crop of
1750,0O0 bales. Liverpool sold here rather
freely Hagedorn & Co. bought heavily.
The weekly report said that in Texas the
continued drouth lessons the outlook for IL
top crop and in many sections there is no
top crop. In South Carolina the yield will
be smaller than previously estimated. In
Mississippi some few report slight i'm
provement in the top crop. In Louisiana
worms have injured late cotton in some
localities. In Arkansas there is no improve
ment in condition of cotton, and it is now
too late for Improvement.

Chicago Change.

Chicago. Sept. '15.-There was no vim to
the wheat market today. Traders abandon
ed hope of securing any further advance at
present, and agreeable to that conclusion
disposed of the wheat accumulated during
prices materially The opening prices were
below the final ones of yesterday, SUISSE
quently declines taking place, and moder-
ate reaction occurring before the Close De-
cember wheat opened at 597s060c, declined
to 591s459Ac, closing at 5912c 3se under yes
terday. Cash wheat was weaker and 12c
lower.
Corn exhibited entire accord with the ac-
ton OF wheat. There was only the quietest
kind of trade and nothing savoring of an
independent movement was noted May corn
opened at 2i$c declined to 24A42lasc, clos
ing at 243sc, 3sc under yesterday. Cash corn
was easy and Ac lower.
Oats declined from lack of Strengthening
influence and of weakness in wheat and
corn. A dull monotonous market properly
explains the situation. May oats closed so
12c under yesterday. Cash oats were steady
for good quality, but poorer grades were
easy and about 14c lower
Provisions-The speculative atmosphere
of the grain markets dampened the feeling
in provisions Temporary steadiness sue
oeeded the opening, but it soon wore off and
quotations were marked lower. A partial
recovery to correspond with that of wheat
took place before the close. January pork
closed 21a45c lower January lard unchanged

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

Cotton Letter.
New York, Sept. 15.--(Special)--It was
evident this morning that the market was
swayed by two conflicting influences. The
receipts svere so heavy that the bulls were
afraid to buy and the crop accounts from all
parts of the south were so dismal that the
bears were afraid to sell. Liverpool was
lower and January opened here at 824 and
Immediately sold down to 8.22. Then there
was "a gradual recovery until January had
reached S.34. AT that price the market re-
manned stationary for some time, but when
the government weekly crop report was
read 1t proved so much worse than was ex-
pected that traders disregarded the receipts
and bought heavily. The market became
strong and the prices of January shot up
to $50. Just before the close several of the
shreNdest operators in the room were no.
ticed taking their profits. There was a re-
cession. of a few points and the close was
very steady, with January at SAT. We ex-
pected the fluctuations to be lively for the
rest of the month and we advise buying on
breaks and taking profits on buges.
