 New Orleans, August 10.-The feature of the day was the publishing of the govern ment report (monthy). It was generally expected that the Bureau would be in the neighborhood of so. as there was no doubt but that the crop improved materially dur ing the month of July. Just prior to the reading of the Bureau, December con- tracts were selling at 7.S6, on learning that the condition was placed at 76. vs. 75.S last month. S4. last year and against a ten year general average of S7.3, the market ad- vanced F to 13 points before a sale was made, December jumping from SC. to 9S, and on the general buying by bulls execu- ton of stop orders and belated short cov- ering rose to 13 points higher still, Decem- ber selling at S11, the highest of the day for a sale.
 Spot markets throughout the country are sharing in the improvement in the con- tract market, New York and New Orleans advancing 3-16c today. while Philadelphia moved up Bc. New cotton is gradually making it's appearance, Galveston receiv- ing 76 and Houston 50 new bales. Showery weather is still in evidence in Louisiana and Texas but elsewhere in the belt good crop weather prevails. Measured by the loss fin the worlds visible supply this week and a few weeks past, trade in the manu- factured department has certainly dwfn- dled to very small proportions, spinners buying this week but half of what they took last year and the year before In the banner producing States. we notice gain over last month of 3 points in Georgia; points in Arkansas and points in Tex

MORE LIFE IN ! STOCK MARKET BtagnatiOn of the Past Few Days
 Slightly Relieved. EARLY YWEAKNESS0VERC0M .1 arae the Advance Which Was Slight Gen erally Stopped Short at About
 Last Nights Level-The Only
 Exception Was Sugar
EARLY YWEAKNESSOVERCOME

New York, Aug. 10.-Yesterday's dead level of stagnation in stocks was slightly relieved by one or two features in today's market The strength in special cases had a sympathetic effect in the narrow general but the advance generally stopped short at about last nights level.
 The exception was sugar, which ruled above last nights level all day on opera tions by recent bull managers in the stock. There was no news to explain the move inent, but the stock became fairly active in the latter part of the day, and rose 29sc over last night, at which price it closed. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was inclined to advance on renewed promises of change in the control of the active management. There was continued buying of Chicago and Northwestern after slight preliminary re- action, the stock rising 15sc over last night, while the preferred gained 214 over the last sale of single transaction.
 Although the shipments by express to the Interior are larger than last week, the banks have still gained largely on account, so that their net losses in cash are esti- mated to be less than a million. If the re- cent movement towards loan expansion on sterling collateral has been proceeding this week there will be an increase in reserve Requirements, which may add to the en- croachment on the surplus. There was nothing of importance in the bond mar ket.

Murphy & uompany's Stock Letter

New York, Aug. 10.-The stock market opened extremely dull with dealings show ing irregular price changes. The London market continued heavy in tone, with no decided alterations in quotations appear ing. Apprehensions of a stringent money market continued the dominating feature there and apparently little influence was exerted by reason of either the Chinese or South African situation There was lit- tie that was new in the local situation over night although there was apparently some increase in apprehensions regarding the upshot of the Presidential condition.
 There were few movements in the early stock market which attained proportions sufficient to justify comment. Sugar Re- fining continued strong, and in the rail- road list Missouri Pacific was the feature. Irregular price changes resulted from the dealings in the granger group, and local traction shares were almost wholly neglect ed. Little was done in the industrials aside from sugar. Notwithstanding the tendency of the London market, the arbitrage houses dealings here were insignificant.

SENSATIONAL DAY IN COTTON MARKET Positive Strength Developed Early
 in the Day. MARKET FINALLY STEADY Shorts Were Wild and Caused Inpour of Buying Orders Which Contri-
 buted to the Days Business
 Made 100000 Bales
MARKET FINALLY STEADY

New York, August 10.-After opening steady, with prices unchanged to 4 points lower the cotton market became sensa- tionally active and developed most positive strength. The fact that the local contin- gent had for some time been operating on the theory of favorable crop conditions leading to a heavy accumula tiaon of short accounts, put the market in shape for the crop report announced on change at 12 o'clock today. The excitement that follow ed the official statement was intense and exceptional Prices leaped and 10 points between transactions. The immediate eff feet of the report was to advance the mar ket 20 to 21 points.
 The advance from the lowest prices to the highest prices of the day was matter of 24929 points. Shorts were wild and there was an inpour of buying orders which con tributed to the days business and estimat- ed at the close at near a million bales. There were numerous intervals of violent reaction under selling to secure profits; but the undertone of the market remained very firm, the trading having an eye to the pos sibility of a Liverpool scare tomorrow. h. cluded in today's business was a larger per centage of bull speculation than has been
 
 seen here for a long time past. Even the professional contingent changed their tac- tics and operated for higher prices The market was finally very steady in tone at net advance of 14Q22 points. New England spinners who have of late been rather pes simistic In their talk were buying the more remote new crop deliveries.
