ahlenee OF sellers and the market showed an

was not more bullisb--if indeed rs was not
aifually more bearish than yesterday. Ad-
vices either one way or the other developed
little that was really new. All classes OF
raiere were disposed to wait for more deh-

Houston. Wednesday. August 2,


-hs cotton market is still In the doldrums.
There was little or no change in futures to-
da, and spots were generally dull and un-

In discussing the peculiar situation that now
exists, the New orleans Times Democrat men
tions that the only feature worthy of COM
ment is that every sunset shortens the dis
taree which separates the trade from tin seri-
Gus movement OF the new crop. II specula-
tion we're active tas In 1899, 1895 and 1881. the
impact of the fresh supplies would hardly be
felt at all. As It is. the question is extremely
serious. On this point. as on most others
connected with cotton. two opposite opinions
are held by men of equal Information and in-
sight. The bulls contend that the spinner is
waiting mpatiently for the better grades of
which the first pickings may be expected to
consist, and that the wonderful trade visible
ir all directions will force demand on a
quite unprecedented scale. The bears say, per
contra. that the low prices realized for very
large portion of the last crop left the South
with unusually low reserves OF cash. and that
tho necessities OF the case will compel pro-
duters and middle men to force of the first
