HAVEN AND STOUTS COTTON
LETTER

New York, Aug. 20-(Special)-The
trade continues bcarish and the market
here has been without support except
that afforded by the covering from time
to time of some of the short interest.
Fluctuations have, however been very
narrow, and there is some feeling of un-
casincss in regard TO the speculative posi-
tion. The decline it is argued, practical
ly discounts existing crop conditions.
and the trade seems to be running to m
extreme in disregardng everything that
does not agree with the current belief in
n phenomenal crop. There were Il mum
Der of developments this week which.
under ordinary circumstances. should
have had Il tendency to modify extreme
views. Unfavorablc crop news, however,
seems at present to excite nothing but
dissent on the part of professional spec
ulators As an instance of this Thoman $
report showing Il further decline in the
condition of the crop of / $40 points
to IS and Il reduction based upon his re
turns Of 100000 bales in the total crop,
making the latter 10,2JO000 bales, fell
flat. In the same way the recent week
ly weather and crop bulletin of the De.
partmcnt of Agriculture and various
State reports do not attract attention.
Nearly all which come to hand speak
Of continuance of the same long wet
period that has lowered the general
average of the prospective yield. The
large stocks on hand here and abroad
deprive the small current receipts and
the latencss of the crop of speculative
Importance.
The uncertainty of the cotton goods
trodp is still n factor in the SpcculHtIVC
situation. Should an Improvement in
manufacturing and in the demand fer
cotton make its appearance the size of
the present crop would probably seem
much less of a depressing influence, while
the small port rccciptS, the continued
rains in a large part of the cotton belt
and other circumstances referred to
above would again have their due
weight in connection with the quotations
for futures.
