weekly Market Review.

There was absolutely no feature of in
terest in the cotton market during the
past week Trading was very light, and
no price changes Of any importance took
place. At the close, quotations were about
points higher than a week ago; October
5.95c. and January, 6.O5c. The sentiment
in favor of cotton seems both scarce and
timid. but some talk of less favorable crop
outlook serves to keep the bears from be-
ing too aggressive. The bureau report
Wednesday should not announce a decline

last months figures. One thing, however,
is becoming clear, and that is the crop

therefore, more susceptible to the later
Vicisstudes of the season, and 10 injury

generally recognized some firmness may
be expected, more particularly in the ear
lier deliveries, such as September. At any
rate. the market appears TOO low to justify
selling short
The reaction in wheat, predicted in last
weeks review, came on time. September
rose nearly SC, to 6s7sc, closing a little
easier at 6s1sd6Shc-iBc higher. This
advance is attributed TO large export de-
mand and Disappointing receipts, but real

New York, Aug. 6.-The stock market

of limited activity, Peace prospects of

preaching cessation of the war had rela-
lively little effect. The situation is, how
ever. relieved of very serious doubts;

quently remarked upon the improved agr-
cultural Industrial and commercial condi-
ton of the country chat repetition IS UNI
necessary. Nothing except unforeseen
troubles can prevent higher stock mar
ket At the moment the market refuses
to move upward with any degree Of force
because the big leaders are not prepared
TO take the initiative. Many are away:
and the best leaders wisely prefer TO wait
until the critical period of the crop situa-
ton is safely passed Should no serious
damage happen, the upward movement IS
likely 20 be vigorously renewed without
opposition.
An important factor IN the situation will
be the large increase Of gold production

year. Australia and the United States are

of the importance anticipated. The most
careful estimates are for product Of S10,-

and the increasing use of other forms OF
money.
Certainly there viii be no scarcity Of gold
in the United States; for in addition to our
own increasing output and the Klondike
supply we are likely to have O large in
fux of gold in settlement Of our trade
balance. The latter can be settled by re-
turning our securities, which Is not likely;
by an outflow Of American capital into
foreign countries, which may occur to
some extent now that the war Is over; or
by the sending of gold, that being the most
probable outcome. Evidently, then, we
are sure of having an abundance of gold
in the country. At the same time the
banks are anxious to expand their circula-
ton, al soon as they secure sufficient Of
the new per cent bonds; 50 the prospects
are for an abundance Of cheap money for
