New York Cotton Mark a,.

New York. Aug. 2-The genral level of prices in the cotton market was lower than yesterdays. The market started out with a decline of s2q3 points, which subsequent ly was increased to 305 points. The early weakness resulted from disappointing ca bles and private reports of fine rains in Texas and clearing weather east of the Mississippi. Later the loss was recovered following the appearance of the weekly government report, which failed to bear out recent claims of the cotton trade in regard to the circulation of private crop advices. The market closed quit at net unchanged prices to point loss

Dry Goods.

New York, Aug. 2.-Trading is still fair m ali cotton goods lines and there has been an improvement in the demand for woolens consequent on the arrival of buyers. Mail orders are, of course, less freauent today anu interest is centered in store trading. Jopperles report fair returns in nearly all mes. The buyers now in the market are beginning to operate with more freedom than heretofore
 staple cotton goods maintain their posi- tlon fairly well. There is continued dull ness in bleached goods and in some lines of brown sheetings and drills for domestic consumption, but in all quarters print cloths are firm and selling with a fair de- gree of activity. The quotations on extras IS still cents, and contracts can be as- sured at this price. Odd goods are fairly hrm, but quiet Print cottons unchanged in most lines.

Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 2-Liverpool ca- bles were h to % lower than Friday, but the fact of our wheat visible being down to the lowst point ever seen started some local bears and shorts in September to- guessing yesterday evening whether it was judicious to continue in that course or to turn about. Statistics show that we are confronted with very bullish argument, on the other hand, trade Is light and the probable receipts in the near future are calculated to be much larger, thereby caus- ing a weaker feeling. Reports that Rus sia would put an embargo on wheat in the early trading to stimulate prices were in vogue. Corn continues weak on better crop reports and more rain in the corn belt. Rradstreet's decrease of 100000 caused shorts to freely cover, which closed wheat strong around top prices. Advantage should be taken of these bulges to put out new short lines of wheat.
