New York, Aug. 24.-The cotton market
opened steady 81 an advance of los
points on an overnight accumulation of
buying orders, but promptly reac- ed with
out causing much surprise on the local
contingent in view OF the sensat ional adj
vance of yesterday. There was a good
dead of long cotton for sale, the pressure
from TITS source continuing more or less
prominent throughout the session. The
opening prices were thea@best throughout
the session, except for August and were
followed by decline ofg15@2O points for
the more active positions with the mar
ket finally steady, with a net loss of 2@4
points, except for August, which showed
q net advance of Is points. Il appears
there is u pretty close corner in August
contracts, with a few prominent parties
for the present in a position to dictate
terms to the shorts.

d. Cotton Letter,

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 24.-That the
market should have reacted today after
yesterdays violent advance is rot sur
prlsing, in fact it Is only natural tina t
prices should react, and the decline Of
from to 10 points thus far experienced
cannot be regarded as an evidence of
weakness nor indicating ay further sub
stantial decline. The volume of bust
ness has again been upon large scale
and the renewed activity is attracting
outside interest
Apparently we are face to face with
broader market and an increasing de-
mand for speculation and investment as
the relative cheapness of cotton when
contrasted with other staple commodi-
ties is beginning to be realized. outside
of the expectation Of a big crop there
is really very little in the situation to
justify sales for the decline at even cur
rent prices. Nevertheless, the trade
generally continues bearish and they are
strongly oontssting the advance.
Consumption is more than keeping pace
with the production and in view of the
trade betterment in this country the
yearly increase this coming season prom
ises to be larger than any time during
the past five years of universal depres-
sion.
The stocks are small everywhere, es-
pecialfy in the producers hands, fore
shadowing a very active demand early
In the season for cotton. Receipts are
running light as compared with last
year today's port arrivals being at only
$500 bales against 1905 last week and
1926 last year. Reports from private
correspondents of damage from the wet
weather are sustained by the weather
government report, which states that
General rains have improved cotton in
Texas except over portions of the south
western part where drought continues
Cotton also needs rain in Missouri and
portions of Tennessee and North Caro-
lima, but over greater portions of central
and eastern sections of cotton belt the
crop has been seriously injured by eX-
cessive rains and complaints of rust and
shedding are quite general, while reports
of rotting and damage by worms are nu-
merous''
This report is indicative of the fact
that the bear position is perhaps becom-
ing less tenable and seems to justify
purchases on breaks.

Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 24-There were lively
fluctuations in cotton today which re-
suited in a small net decline. A five-slxty-
fourths advance in Liverpool this morn
ing was regarded as none too good by
the local traders. There were plenty Of
buying orders to be filled, however, and
the opening here was from unchanged
prices to five points higher. Liverpool
was an enormous seller in this market
Persistent bulling Of the near months
lifted prices further, after the opening,
but flood of selling orders came up on
the market and sent prices seurrying
down against the weekly government
crop bulletin, which was most bullsh,
but created no enthusiasm. At the de-
cline the selling pressure became ex
hausted and the best part of the less
was recovered Receipts as yet amount
to practically nothing, and this is the
real trump card of the bulls. A squeeze
of August shorts was q matter of Only
passing interest. That month advanced
to S.15. January opened at 7.12 advanced
to Ills declined to Z cents. advanced
again to 10 aud closed at 7.GS to 7.09,
with the tone of thei market steady.
Liverpools attitude tomorrow is awaited
with interest. Buyers there do not seem
eager for spot cotton. -

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 24.-The stock
market opened active aad '.ong, with
heavy buying by commission houses.
The break in grsCn was accepted as final
diSproof of the aggregated reports of crop
damage.
Realzing sales, however, soon checked
the upward tendency of the speculation
ana when dullness settled down the bear
traders walked to bring about reaction.
Prices fell all through the list in many
infs ances, the decline reaching a point
and an some cases more than a point. In
the late afternoon there was general re-
covery, due to purchases for both ac-
counts. Exceptional strength was shown
by c. c. c., Lead and Cotton Oil stocks.

Best veal sold up to 81.
In hogs there was an improved supply
for the somewhat restricted demand, and
most of the good mixed hogs sold, and
closed around 81, packers buying a good

Chicago, Aug. 24.-The bears had an
inning in wheat today. The September
option at one time sold Sc below yester-
days high point. December beat this
by a cznt ahd a quarter. The closing
figures show a loss for the day of sac
in September and 51sc in December
Heavy and long continued liquidation
was the cause OF the break. The weak
ness in foreign markets and this break
in the coarse grains were factors. The
bull clique threw over their holdings in
corn and oats and declines of 2ssc in
corn and 1a@Ac in oats resulted. Pro-

New York, Aug. 24.-The dry goods
market presents scarcely any new feat
ures today although the same strong
tone is prevalent throughout. The sec
ond of the Merchants associs ton exeur-
sions has again fill.d the jobbing stores
with buyers who are making the month
a banner one in nearly all lines. In first
hand markets, the day is comparatively
dull as mail orders are not so heavy on
Tuesday and store trading is quite light
at this time. The firm features of the
market are the strength of print cloths
and of staple prints, the latter a more
or less direct result of the former. In
staple cottons the market is generally
firm and steady. Print cloths are very
strong. Bids for October extras at the
current quotation of 25sc are steadily re-
fused sellers being remarkably firm in
their position. Odd grads, however,
are a trihe less strong and may be
brought to better advantage. The sales
so far, while not strong, compare favora-
bly, with the early part of late weeks.
Prints are generally firm. Wooden goods
firm and unchanged.
