Taibott & PaImer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, August 26-Stock market opened quiet and generally lower. Selling of stocks at opening seemed to be alto- gether by the bearish room traders who based their ventures upon expectation that a large decrease would appear in the sur from their selling, however, there did not appear to be any pressure upon the gen. eral market and subsequently, much firm CT tone developed throughout the list. The weakest feature in the early dealings was Sugar. which declined sharply both on re- ports of further reductions in price of re- fined and also on expressed misgivings re- garding dividend to be declared early next month. Industrials quarter outside of Sugar was extremely dull and showed only small changes. Comparatively firm fea- lures in railways were Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Atchi- son and Southern Railway, preferred. sharp rise in Mobile and Ohio was fea- ture and was based on assertions In regard to current earnings. Changers were very dull, but after opening lower they all de- veloped steadiness. Among the specialties. Tennessee Coal and Iron was notably strong on buying for both accounts. There was practically no news of any importance over night, but sentiment was strengthened by extremely favorable reports of commer- cial agencies and by number of hand- some returns for railway traffic. There were extremely wide fluctuations in Con- solidated Gas. the stock falling sharply at the opening and later on advancing rap- idly. The bettering prospects for the sem timent of rates accounted for the advance in the stocks.

We confirm twenty-five loads at New York today, which may in- clude cargo for India. There is a good demand both here and al Minneapolis for cash wheat at premiums over September. Lower foreign markets and the absence of outside trade were too much for the mar ket today. The closing was heavy. A great deal of long wheat came out and abotu the only buying was on the part of shorts. Sentiment is quite bearish among local traders and strong drives may be expected on all strong spots. We look for lower prices until after the September liqui- dation is through With. While there has been a good deal of bull news, it has not been responded to.
 Corn: Meakly clearances, 5531 900; 37000,- 900 for from July l. which is 14,00O,0 ,000 greater than last year. Stock here Is expected to decrease 100000 next week. Country ac- ceptances are more liberal, and there was some very determined selling today. On hard spots advise sales of Decemer.

FIRM OPENING IN
 . COTTON MARKET
Foreign Houses Had Plenty o1
 Buying Orders.
RAIN APPEARED IN THE BELT
Bull Faction Opposed to Accommodating Additional Lines-Flurry of Local Shorts to Cover Added to
 the Early Stiffness

New York; August 26.-The market for cotton futures opened firm in tone. with prices to points higher following an un- expected upturn of the Liverpool market. Foreign houses were plentifully supplied with buying orders, which, in connection with furry of local shorts to cover added to the early stiffness.
 The bull faction was averse to accumu- laung additional lines notwithstanding the favorable state of affairs speculatively and before the end of the first half hour the tendency of values was slowly downward under a let-up in outside demand and profit-taking sales of Wall street houses. "A drawback of no small importance to con- fident operation on the bull side was the appearance of rain in several parts of the cotton belt. The crop news. however, was decidedly bullish and has been the case all week.

WEAKNESS IN THE
 STOCK MARKET
Yesterdays Dropping Tendency
 Was Not Overcome.
LONDON EXCHANGE CLOSED
Increased Activity in Bonds, With Gains Confined to Speculative Interests United States Paper Declin-
 ed in the Bid Price

New York, August 26-The market opened with yesterdays dropping tendency still in force, and the weakness was not entirely overcome during the short session, although there were improvements. The London exchange was closed for holiday, leaving some uncertainty as to the specu- lauye sentiment of that center, which was depressed yesterday. Added to this was a weak tone in Sugar on new crop rumors of a new phase of the war In the sugar trade.
 The new stock, Republic Steel company, dealt in on the exchange for the first time yesterday, showed a disinclination to main- tain the price established for them yestes- day, and N. & w. and Northern Pacific in the railroad group showed a reaetionary tendency. Consolidated Gas dropped an extreme Az.
 The action of the stock market was very irregular and somewhat puzzling during the week. A number of the most promi- nent specialties and industrials showed ex- treme Generalization early in the week. The raids by the bears upon these stocks were commonly supposed to De a tactical maneuver with the object of obstructing the disposition of the general list to ad- vance. As matter of fact the violent breaks in the specialties proved ineffective to prevent the rise of various isolated rail- road stocks. When power of the support fin the specialties frustrated the attempt of the bears to work further declines, as the way seemed open for a general advance in prices, the upward movement was met by such heavy offerings to take profits that a sentiment of hestitat ton reasserted itself
 A comparison of prices showed some very substantial gains in a number of the rail- road stocks and some severe losses in the industrials. In the majority of the stand ard railroad stocks net changes are small nor has there been any marked activity in these stocks during the week. Quite number of Southern and Southwestern railroads show reactions from recent high prices on proit-taking which has been on a very large scale.
 The most promising field of operations has been among comparatively obscure stocks, the chances of which for increased returns have not been already discounted by previous active speculation.
 Activity has increased in the bond mar ket, but gains have been confined to specu- fatiye issues U. s. As declined $c, old s registered A and the 5's Is in the b.d price.

Taibott & raimer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from Fairchild & Hobson.
 New Orleans, August 26.-lt has been an up hill fight to advance prices this week. but nevertheless the bulls have rout- ed the bears and at the moment are mas ters of all they survey. Weather condi- tions having favored their cause, NeilPs crop estimate, bearish statistical state- ments on the visible and invisible stocks by Ellison have all been lost sight of, the elements have attracted the attention of the world. It seems strange that such could happen in view of what we have been told in the early part of August, that fu- ture weather would have no bearing on the outcome of the crop. In this connec- ton we would have our friends reminded of the fact that it was the August drought of 1896 that spoiled the promising condition of the crop and sent prices to about SEc Today's session. in the absence of rain in Texas, was opened at a rise of five points. October at 5.76.

Mail advces from southwest were of usual recent character, mostly complaints of poor outlook. Cables were about as expected with spots again up 1-32 and futures two points higher.
