Murphy & Co.'S cotton letter.

New York, Aug. 26.-Naturally
enough the high prices proved a temp
tation for profit taking by last week S
buyers. Spot markets were steady in
the South New cotton is moving free
ly, but this has been anticipated, and
has no effect on the market. Port re-
ceipts to-day, $500. against 4,3OO last
year.
The Texas forecast was for occasional
showers in some portions. A Dallas,
Tex, merchant of high standing, after
months absence, advices a leading
firm that he is surprised to find such
deterioration in the crop, and de-
scribes the condition as gloomy. Other
accounts are confident that the total
will not exceed 10, 1000, 900. A decrease
of 25 per cent. is predicted for Central
Texas, and a crop of 100000 for Texas
is claimed to be all that may be ex-
pected. Poor crop news is no longer
confined to Texas. Some Alabama re-
ports are quite gloomy. There and else
where the plant is small and rusty,
shedding and irregular, and numerous
Southern correspondents say that the
character of the crop advices every
where are such as to induce prompt
support for the market. The matter
of rain in Texas is no longer a factor
and the most that may be expected is
a temporary reactionary movement in
prices should there any occur, to be
followed by still higher figures.

New Orleans, Aug. 26.-Liverpool adj
vanced sharply in consequence of ner-
vousness of parties who are short on
near months. Our market responded
by opening Is to 81 points higher, but
on the clearing weather in the Allan
tics. a general disposition was shown
to realize, occasioning break af Is to
&c from the top, making the net loss
to points on the day. 1t is perfectly
natural that a reaction should be
established after such a decided adj
vance. Many claim that interior spot
holders are firm in consequence of the
September corner in Liverpool and are
of the opinion that higher prices will
be eventually realized. Port receipts
continue free and the indications are
for a continuance of same. In the
meanwhile trade conditions have not
improved in Europe and unless spin
ners soon enter the market freely, it
will be hard matter to ultimately sus-
tain present values. OF course If
speculation is attracted to the article,
with the bullish sentiment existing, it
may change the situation temporarily.

Points Higher.
New York, Aug. 26.-The market for
cotton futures opened firm with prices
to IA points higher, and continued to
advance until a net rise of Is to Is
points had been scored over Saturdays
bids. This was a full response to
strong Liverpool cables and very bull
fish information from the crop country.
Speculation was active all day, with
public buying a feature much of the

lays market was the cable news, this

New York, Aug. 26-While Liverpool
fully responded to the improvement
of Saturday in the American markets
the predictions of fair weather over
the district, where such conditions were
needed brought heavy realizing. From
Texas many complaints are being re.
ceived of the severe damage from the
drought in that state, but from the re-
mainder Of the cotton belt favorable
advices have come after such a sharp
advance the trade feel the conditions
outside of Texas merit consideration,
and as the weather promises to be good
for the development of the crop these
considerations have led to free realiz-
ing and some little short selling. A
poor bureau report is expected from
Texas tomorrow.

The Morning News Office,
Monday. Aug. 26.
With accounts from the cotton coun-
lrv corroborating previous reports of
damage to the plant from various
rauses and the prospects of a lesser
Weld than recently looked for, the
market for futures at both New York
and New Orleans advanced. These ad-
yances were largely reflected in the
spot markets, which rose Bc or more.
That the crop has suffered greatly by
drought in Texas seems to be generally
admitted, and the probable result will
be a lighter yield than expected. This
In addition to the unfavorable reports
from other sections of the crop coun-
try, has added renewed strength to the
market, and doubtless accounts to some
extent for the better demand for the
actual stuff. Mills are understood to
be pretty liberal buyers. The turpen-
time market closed firm at 34c, with the
demand such as to sustain the market
Resins closed firm and unchanged. The
