+ New Orleans. Aug. flowing to the
bank clerks holiday" in Liverpool on
Aug. and 5, that market was more
favorable than looked for. as shorts
covered, fearing an unfavorable bu-
reau Monday. Prices here responded by
opening 3 points higher, subsequently
eased off slightly on rains in a few
sections of Central Texas, but became
steadier later on the visible supply
statement and remained that way dur
ing the balance of the session. The
visible supply during the, week this
year decreased 143, 900, against a de-
crease of $4,000 last year, or a rela-
tive decrease of $4,000 in excess of last
year. The aggregate to date is 2,160,000,
against 1,350.000 last year. showing a
net gain of $4,000. although the weekly
takings are shown to have been more
than last year. It must be remembered
that short time and closing down was
resorted to then. whereas the mills
now are generally running. Therefore.
although trade is not good, the chances
are from now out that the tal1ings will
exceed last season, all of which we
predicted some weeks back. There is.
however, no danger of scarcity conse-
quently all interest is centered in the
growing crop. We except no decided
change until after the bureau report,
unless general rains take place in Cen
trail Texas during the interim.

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton. Letter.

New York, Aug. Prices in the cot
ton market this morning advanced to
5 points on very small transactions and
a lack. of interest pending further de-
velopments in Texas where fair wealth
er prevailed as a rule excepting at
Palestine, and Kerryville, where re-
ports indicated good rains, while the
government forecast for the state was
for fair weather tonight and to-mor-
row. Cables were quiet and satisfac-
tory at our opening, and helped the
early advance. Some Texas private ac-
counts indicated only one-fifth of a
bale where last year they raised half
a bale. Sellers were quite cautious,
ard it was noticeable that people who
have been pinning their faith in big
crop were advising the avoidance of
short selling, and expressing the be-
lief of the market doing better. The
continent was a buyer in this market
to-day, and this was accepted as a sign
of hopefulness. Liverpool closed, 2 to
half higher. The Texas situation con-
tinues as mixed as heretofore, mean
while the trade is anXiously awaiting
the bureau report on the 5th instant.
Just what effect this may have on the
market is uncertain, but in any event
the expectation is that while very high
figures for the condition may depress
the market, 1T is not likely that prices
will be kept down except temporarily.
1t might be the case otherwis at an
earlier period of the year, but not so
at the beginning of August. when
ey erything depends on the develop
ments during the current month. One
party in Texas predicts crop for that
state not exceeding 2500,000 bales,
and 1900, 900 total. Advises planters to
hold their new crop for ten cents per
Mound.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Dull and Price Ranges
Rather Narrow.

New York, Aug. 1.-The futility of
the efforts made this week to awaken
any interest in the stock market or to
effect movement of prices that offer
ed any chance for attractive profits to
traders, resulted in a, very small at
tendance this morning *of even that
class of dealers on the board. There
is no trace of any other operations than
those by traders. This mornings mar
ket, as a consequence, made perceptible
progress towards the condition of alb
solute stagnation, to which 1t has been
tending all the week.
Apparently the market was left who'll
ly to. the devices of the small room
traders. There was no evidence of the
existence of stop loss selling orders on
the one hand, or of supporting orders
on the other. Accordingly the profess
SIGNALS found their limited operations
quite effective in moving prices. But
the operation OF taking profits, either
by selling long stock to realize or by
covering shorts, reveals the fictitious
character of the movement and neu>
tralizes it. To-day's report Of sub
treasury operations shows that the
government institution took from the
money market yesterday some 100000
payable on the first of the month for
the government interest due. There
is usually sorne, delay about the presen-
tation of these checks. but balance
in favor of. the sub-treasury on an in
terest payment day Is unusual and calls
attention to the constant requirements
upon the money market by reason Of
the revenue surplus, -.
To-morrow,s bank statement was not
n H. - AlW n
ton. Indications point to an unim-
portant change in the cash reserves,
but the change in the loan item is like
~ to be affected by the payment Of
some heavy syndicate subscriptions,
which came due on Aug. I. The mea~
ger business conferred about the re-
newed fears of crop damage suggest
ed by the strength in the corn market
and the proposed construction of a su-
gar refinery in opposition to'the Ameri-
can Sugar Company. An appearance of
considerable weakness was thus in
duced at one time during the day. but
the closing up of contracts brought
prices back sharply toward last nights
level Sugar failed TO hold IT'S rally and
the market closed heavy The United
States Steel stocks were less active
than for some time past ant" failed to
show the effect OF reports of disagree
nient over the steel strike. The COM
mon was at one time down over a point,
but both closed with fractionall net
gains.

The Market Closed Finally Steady
1Q5 Points Higher.


New York. Aug. 2.-The cotton mar
ket started off steady in tone with
prices l to points higher and ruled
generally firm all day on scattering de-
mand from the room contingent and
spurts of buying for outside account.
The cables were fully,-1 point better
than expected and English buying in
the fall months was something of a
feature during the first hour. New Or
leans buying in the local pit was a
feature of the days operations. Soon
after the call a commission house pur-
chased 5000 bales October and 5000
bales December, pit. traders selling
this cotton, much of it short, on the
theory that a reaction would follow
the first hours trading. But while
there was slight reactions from time
to time the general course of the mar
ket was upward. The weather reports,
public and private, indicated contin-
ued drought over the central and
western belt and the forecast for to-
night and tomorrow pointed to clear
conditions generally. Moreover, bulls
here were encouraged by heavy de-
mand for spot cotton, sales in the open
market reaching 1856 bales, with ru-
NOR having it that some 5000 to 1000
bales more had been quietly done be-
tweenFall River spinners and the peo-
pie who took August cotton on con-
tract Crop reports were, mixed. Re-
ceipts at all points were again small.
The market was finally steady with
prices net to points higher.
