COTTON TRADERS WAITING.

Houston, Tuesday, September z.
1t is waiting market. The price of
cotton Is low to be based on an uncer-
tainty, and traders are waiting for some
development of crop or trade conditions
before taking any decided stand one way
or the other. The general sentiment is
undoubtedly inclined toward the bearish
side, but everyone recognizes that 1t is
rather dangerous to sell futures below
6Is in New Orleans as long as spots re-
main ON the present basis. There Is still
a considerable disparity between spot and
contract prices, though the difference is
mot near SO marked as formerly. Today
New Orleans reduced her spot quotations
1-16c and advanced futures 2lI3 points. Oc-
tober deliveries are now only about Csc
below spots a month ago the discount
was fully cent.
There were very few features of inter-
est In the speculative markets today. Liv-
erpool closed 1-6id higher on the near
months and unchanged ON the distant
positions. New York was points lower
on September and October and about
point down on the later deliveries. Buy
ing orders on the yellow fever scare were
reported during the forenoon, and helped
to sustain prices. The weekly govern
mcnt report was also considered bullish,
showing some deterioration in the condi-
ton of the crop in the Atlantic States.
The Houston spot market was un-
changed at todays session. but the tone
was somewhat easier. An average list of
cotton has readily brought cents re-
Gently. but nearly all of recent receipts
have averaged above middlng grades and
are often full strict middllng and above.
The demand from Eastern spinners is
somewhat less than heretofore, owing to
the fact that the crop is coming forward
in the Atlantic States in sufficient guam
titles to supply both the New England
and Southern mills. Unless the export
demand SOON increases spot prices will un-
doubtedly be forced lower in Texas. Sa-
vannah quoted middling at 6 11-16c today
or 1-ic below the Houston price.
In New Orleans December sold at GA
for the lowest and $50 highest, closing at
G.4S@6. 40, against 645Q6. 46 yesterday. De-
cember in New York opened with GA
bid, sold down to gu soon thereafter, adj
vanced to $40 during the day and closed
at 6.76a6.T. against 6,T@6.7S Saturday.

New York, September THE bear par

several weeks, and it got in the ascendant
