COTTON LETTERS.

New York Aug. 6.-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton opened easy on Southern selling.
No foreign cables to-day. Shorts covered

there wire dry weather needed. These re-
ports check the decline. but we don't be-

idea that the foreign markets would not

caused a reaction when the market be-

yet for outside inves tment buying, as
they see no Improvement in the trade
nor anything in the crop advices to in
duce them to become buyers at present
prices. August is relatively the strongest
position due to our small stock which is
principally owned by Liverpool brokers'
who may take the cotton rendered.

ter Saturdays holiday, was naturally a
timid one. The room traders, expecting

since Friday. and also expecting a bear

were inclined to sell. whenever moved
to trade at ALL But as class, they pre-
ferred to hold off for actual advices from
Liverpool and Washington. After opening

of 5 points, there was a still further de-
cline of lac points. Then followed a sharp
reaction of l2G15 points, with the market
finally barely steady at a net advance of
4GS points. Liquidation of long accounts
was the feature of the early market. and
Covering of the latter business. Wide or
ders we're scarce; those reaching the mar
ket generally went to the short side of the
account, particularly the orders from the
South, following reports of weak spot mar
kets there and a continued brilliant crop
outlook. The reports from spinning dis
tricts and cotton goods markets furnished
no encouragement. The feature of the
movement was the receipt OF twenty-five
bales of new cotton at Galveston, against
twenty-eight bales the corresponding day
last year.

disappointment in Peaches.

The last car Of peaches for 1900 was
shipped from Marshallville Saturday
making 400 cars loads for the season. The
results of the peach shipment from that
place have been a disappoint ment to all
with few exceptions. the shippers have
on hend one-fourth of their crates over
for use another fruit year. which may be
next year or three years On account of
excessive rain and worms the loss of
peaches has been considerable. Fruit
carried very badly or would not hold up
for reshipping in New York. 1t cost
about 80 cents a crate to gather and mar
ket a case of fruit in New York, and
when II Is considered that more than one
half of this years crop sold for 81 per
case average IT is readily seen that no
large amount of net money has been
made this year Also there is to be con-
sidered the expense OF setting out an or
chard waiting three or four years to
bear, land occupied and expense of care
and cultivation, and especially If the San
Jose scale is to he fought. The fruit
business around Marshalville is some
what dscouraging. However, the fruit
acreage in this community has been very
much increased the past TWO years, and
in two years no doubt this will be the
largest shipping section in the state.

head containing some hundred or more
grains of corn, each grain incased in
