New York, August H.-The developm ents
of the past few days go to show that Neill
is not vet maser of the situation, and the
trade Is recovering from the shock occA-
stoned by the publication of his twenty mil
lion estimate. The fact is people care TO
take no chances in bearing the market SO
long as crop accounts are so poor in many
districts. These accounts may be cooked
I'D for bull purposes, but there are too nu-
merous TO be ignored. 1t Is a case Of a
single statistician who does not command
general confidence against southern corre-

ERRATIC MARKET
IN COTTON FUTURES
The Course Was Irregular But
Strongly Upward.

Sharp Backward Movement Under Re-

Close Very Steady.
ENGLISH FOUGHT ADVANCES

New York, August 21.-There was an err
ratio market for cotton futures again TO-
day. Great strength and speculative actiV-
ity were developed. The course OF the mar
ket Was very irregular, but in the main
strongly upward on a demand from all
classes of buyers. The opening call started
at an advance of points and finished at
an advance of 10 points, having gained
great bullish Roadway as it progressed
Later, foreign business increased the ad-
vance on Saturdays price to a matter Of
1901 points.
The improvement was directly due to the
intensely bullish character of accounts
from the southwest, and more articularly
from Texas. The English advces indicated
a disposition to fight advances. Before the
market scored the notable advance there
was a sharp backward movement under
realization sales.
The market closed very steady at a gain
of q to "a points.

The strong Liverpool cables were due TO
reports of very light rains in Texas. Port
receipts continue to increase daily, and new
cotton appears to be coming in rapidly,
not only in Texas, but throughout the en-
tire south While the weather reports
from. Texas show but little rain, we can
hardly believe that the crop has been in
jured much and can see no reason why
prices should hold. SO strong in face of

Talbot g. PaImer's stock Letter

BY Private Wire from the New York Sum-
New York, August 2l.-Ihe stock market
opened strong and active, and it retained
this characteristic during the greater part
of the day, although modified by reason of
technical or extraneous circumstances that
occasionally engaged attention. An in
stance at point was general and material
reaction in prices after the opening, which
followed the development of great weak
ness in Brooklyn Rapid Transit That stock
along with the other local Traction issues
was under severe pressure but there was
no discussion attending the decline, save
that based upon the effect of the opera
lions of the Ford franchise law. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit was by far the weakest of
the group, and The decline there reached
proportions which were, as already noted,
influential in inducing sales of the general
market Another factor in the early re-
action was the unusual and heavy selling
of stocks by foreign houses. Purchases for
the same account were subsequently noted,
however, and on balance the selling was
not in excess of 10000 shares. The DISPOSE
ton of the foreign dealings in the market
was apparently owing to approhensions of
further grave disturbances in the Paris
market and the generally unsettled politi
cal situation in France. Against these par
ticular factors in the market there was
nothing now to be placed beyond the feel
ing of confidence regarding the monetary
situation and these other favora BILE fea-
lures in the situation which have so long
engaged attention. 4 marked Improvement
in confidence was observed at the close.

By Private Wire from Ware q Leland.
Chicago, August 21.-Wheat: London
closed firm, &c higher Liverpool nc higher.
Kansas hard wheat closed Sd higher, Ar
gentne Id higher, Paris wheat and flour,
IS higher; wheat on passage decreased
100000 worlds shipments 6,S16,000, wheat
afloat decreased 1920, 900. European visible
decreased 100000, English visible increased
6S00O0 American visible decreased $4,000.
Beerbohm's foreign crop review Is of such
a nature that 1t means America will be
called upon largely for wheat and flour,
and in this connection 1t can be said that
the demand for feeding stuffs alone is
something unprecedented. Seasonable
weather has prevailed in the northwest,
but showers and thunderstorms are pre-
dicted. Serious damage has resulted from
heavy rains in Oregon and Washington.
Primary receipts 722 900 shipments SD, 900.
Clearances 325,000. We have heard of no
ca sh business here today, twenty loads tie
ported worked at the seaboard. Receipts
at Duluth and Minneapolis seem to be in
creasing. The old bear crowd made a
smash at the market today, which dis
lodged some long wheat and brought about
a break of over cent bushei. No doubt
the foreign markets will come lower to-
morrow which will increase bearish senti-
ment hero, but on any further decline it
would seem as If purchases should be
made.
Corn-ViSible decreased 2,2l6,000 sixty
loads reported for export. The shortage In
September was pretty we'll covered today,
and there was adecline of over / cent per
bushel. Crop reports are of the most ia
yorable nature and there was good selling
of the defesred futures which no doubt will
work lower The cash demand was not so
urgent.
Oats-Fifty thousand bushels sold for ex-
port, visible increasing l52.oOO. There was
NV oil n "
commission houses which means that re-
oeipts are going to be tremendous. Lower
prices seem inevitable.
Provisions-Rulsd dull Receipts of hogs
were heavy and closed lower. Liverpool was
weak on hams. There was no snap to the
market. most of the transactions being In
