Hubbard Bros. & co, ON Cot,on

New York, Sept. 2.-Hubbard Bros. &.
Co, in their review of the cotton market
say: The advance of last week was
practically lost under the clearing wealth
er conditions and the increase in the
movement of the crop, which now noints
to larger September receipts than antici.
pated earlier in the season This move
ment IS due to an extent to the premium
on early cotton, when for several seasons
the more distant deliveries have been at
a premium, encouraging the planter TO
pick, though not to market his crop in
haste. Now. with higher prices for early
shipments, he is. naturally disposed to
market his cotton as soon as picked. Crop
adYices have shown some change in the
increase in the number of complaints of
damage from rust and worms and more
rain is to be desired in Texas. No disas-
ter is at the moment threatened, to ma
terlally reduce the prospects for large
yleld' and 1T is evident that the recent
sharp advance practically eliminated the
short interest which had accumulated in
the various markets, through an over
pessimistic feeling regarding the future
course of prices. The prevailing tenner
in America is highly optimistic; and
cotton would feel the effect of this SEN
timent were any serious change to oc-
cur IN crop conditions. rally from the
extreme decline marks the prevalence of
the influence of this sentiment upon the
trade, which, while expecting a large
crop is always on the outlook for the
appearance of the active speculation. so
visible in the wheat market. ~
THE August position was shown to he
closely held, and the small short interest
remaining after the many warnings was
compelled to cover at a sharp advance.
Fears of further corner in September
and October are in evidence in the small
trading, and wide fluctuations in the for
mer position, but the value Of cotton is
made by the belief in the size of the
crop, and not by threatened manipula-
tons of six weeks scarcity, which usu-
ally defeats its intended object. of at
tracing speculation and forcing an adj
vance. A change in crop conditions would
cause permanent advance, notwith-
standing the depression in trade in Man
chester through the troubles in India. and
the engineers strike in Great Britain
while the continent is suffering from the
fear of poor food crops. Both these adj
verse conditions would be brushed aside
were the idea of a small cotton crop to
become current, but. until this condition
is changed, it will be difficult to affect
the opinions of spinners, who, in the alb
sence of speculation must be the buvers
of receipts of cotton, in exoesN of their
daily requirements The trade is looking
for reduction in the September bureau
report, in condition similar to that which
has usually occurred during August"
