Cotton Letter,

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 14.--Liverpool spot demand today was very narrow, sales amounting to only 5000 bales at decline of 1-32d. The expectation of big crop overshadows all other factors for the present, but the short interest is daily assuming larger proportions, which is in itself an element of strength, After stagnation for long time prevailing, a decline is the best thing. t11at could hap pen4to the market as 1t stimulates activi- ty, encourages shorts to increase their line and will eventually increase specula- tion. Then the very favorable outside influences will exert more potent effect upon the market. The market closed barely steady today at a decline of from 12 to 14 points, with sales of S4,000 bales.

Grain Letter.

Birmingham, Aug. 14.-The condition of the wheat market the past week has been one of buoyancy with very liberal advance in prices, brought about by the state of circumstances that have been somewhat peculiar yet of a nature to en- nance values on legitimate basis. For some time past the market has been gradually gaining strength, most of the bulliSh influences coming from abroad, where a large shortage is expected. Foreigners have not only been large buy CTS of future wheat, but of the cash com- modity as well. Some of the big bulls in Chicago, St. Louis and New York were quick to take advantage of this and have been adding to their line alll the way up from 75 cents. The advance was stub born at times, but in our opinion the price will advance sti1 further, and it will be but a matter of a few days wben we will see the September option selling above 90 cents. The advance today from SIS to S4 was very quick, and the mar. ket closed very strong. Corn had gain of 1sc on good buying, and should sell considerably above this price in the near future. J. P.

E New Yor,, Cotton. Marke


 New York, Aug. 1.-The cotton mar ket opened easy with a decline of to 6 points, except for August which opened at an advance of l point Following the first can the market recovered most of the loss, but still later became very weak and irregular. August, which here tofore has been maintaining a strong re- lation to the general list showed al one time leading weakness and broke from 7.65 to 7.56.
 During the later part of the session the market was very active. chiefly owing to the liquidation, the influence being gen. erally bearish. including disappointing cables, generally glowing accounts re- garding the crop, continued indifference on the part of outside speculators and tendency on thsi part Of southern and foreign traders to send selling orders and increase depression. Just before the close August rallied in covering, but the market was finally barely steady with the net advance on August reduced to 2 points, while the rest of the list showed net loss off to points. 8

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 14.-The stock market suffered a further reaction of point or more in the early dealings. Lon- don came lower and encouraged liquida- tion. The depression did not extend be- yond the first hour. The selling was soon stopped and prices recovered. The grangers were strong. Sugar was the leader in strength of the industrials, while tobacco f1uctuated over an extreme range of over per cent. breaking badly at the start, but more than recovering the decline. The market was strong at the close and very active, with indiea- tions of higher prices for Monday.

GENERAL COTTON MARKETS.
Financial

New York, Aug. 14.lThe New York Fi- nancier says: The bank statement for the week ending August IA reflects more accurately than usual the revival in busi- ness The item in loans shows a contin- ued expansion, the total being now $33- 100000 higher than any record made pre- vious to this year. In the past months loans have increased not less than $2l,- 100000 and in sixty days the expansion has been approximately $42, ,000 900. For the past week no les than thirty-nine of the sixty-hve clearing house banks swelled their loan totals, the National City and Hanover National loading with combined increase of $3, 369, 500. As there are no special causes to account for the increase in loans other than the rising stock exchange business, mercan- tile demands and inquiry for discounts, the healthy nature of the business which the New York banks are doing becomes apparent The interior movement is al- most at a standstill, and a great deal of money is floating out of New York in response to legitimate news in the south and west. Some of this money is going direct, but banks in interior re- serve cities are supplying smaller corre- spondents with funds, and will draw on their New 1H ofk balances later on. In fact some of them are doing so now. It has been foregone conclusion that the demand for money would cause a rise
 
 to reach a slightly higher level than ob- taining at present. Even a $3S, ,000, 900 surplus reserve must shrink rapidly in the face of healthy local borrowing and losses to the interior. On the other hand, there is no longer any doubt that gold importations will begin soon, perhaps be- fore the end of this month. This will, of course, constitute an extra supply of funds and mainly supply some of the losses that otherwise might occur. For eign banks do not attempt to estimate the extent of this falls imports, but private opinion places it at $50, 900, 900 and over. Gold will not be drawn out this year as last for hoarding, but will go largely in- to the treasury. It is notable to observe in this connection that the banks of New York city hold only $11,000,000 less gold than legal tender. The present total, $92- SIP, 300 Is $45, 300 larger than reported just one year ago. With an active mar ket this fall and winter gold may be forced into circulation both from the treasury and from the banks.
 New York, Aug. 4.-The weekly bank statement shows thhe following changes:

Cotton Letter.

ENew York, Aug. H-Favorable crop developments this week have overshad- owed othsr influences in the cotton mar ke., and prices for the next crop have declined about 30 points. Manipulation of August contracts have sus aimed the price of that month. Liverpool was lower again today. Our market started off tamely enough opening but two poin B down. On light short covering and buy ing for New Orleans Hhe market ralled to last nights prices. But the bulls had evidently become uneasy nr the persist entity bearish attitude of Liverpool ands liquidated freely. Prices gradually de- clined points and then on the execu- tion of many stop orders rapidly broke from to Il points more. The break was quite sensational and practically occur red in the last fifteen minutes of trading. January declined ' points without trade being made. January opened at 6.s4 ad- vanced to 6.97, deelinsd Ito 6.S3 and closed gt 6.S406.S5, with the tone of the market barely steady. October was an especially weak feature. The marke. for cotton goods is sharing in the almost brilliant outlook of the country and reports from manufacturing centers are most encour7t aging. The bulls argue with good busi-,  ness ait higher prices and with other mar kets booming it would be s range indeed If cotton alone should decline. As usual, however, the break this week has added many recruits to the bear ranks and the bullish sentiment here has almost disap- peared. While American conditions are. hopeful, the prospects abroad are by no means so good, and fl is fhere that we must market the bulk of our cotton. Ow- ing to the rains in Texas this week thene, is less rak of poor crop there. Signs of a speculative revival are not apparent af1nd permanent advance must be start ed on the merits of the staple. The de- mand for the early receipts may hold the market for a time or even lift il, but If present crop prospects continue we be- lieve. that prices must ultimately go lower. RIORDAN & co.
