By Private Wire to Sledge Com. Co.
 New York, August 17.-Liverpool came higher by 2 to 3 points for futures and 1-16 on spots on sales of 1000 bales, at the same time the Chronicles review for the week was decidedly bullish, noting rapid deterioration In Texas and too much rain in parts of Alabama, Missis- sippi and Arkansas. The weather map showed no rain in Texas today, while the forecast for that section gave no hope of any early relief. Reports from Fall River were discouraging, and those from Manchester too, were bad. The market was ie >he hands of the profess sional traders, however, and ruled rather heavy throughout. closing net unchanged to points advance
 The Chronicles report Is as follows:
 Reports to us by telegraph from the south this evening denote that rain has fallen in most sections during the week. but in many districts of Texas there has been little or no rain. The precipitation has been heavy in parts of Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama, and in some districts along the Atlantic. Our Calves ton correspondent states that cotton has deteriorated to an alarming extent in Texas during the week, and that many report fields white and cotton all open. From sections of Mississippi there are complaints of too much rain and Helena, Arkansas. says that the rain, while im- proving the looks of the plant has caused shedding. Our Memphis correspondent re- ports that rain has improved crop condi- tions in that district and from points on the Atlantic we have more favorable re- ports -' .-

Cotton Letter.

Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Go.
 New York, August 17-As was generally expected, the market advanced further this morning under the influence of a very unvaforable Chronicle report from Texas and an advance of two points in Liverpool. The average operator was not disposed to sell cotton and there seemed to be buying to hold the market and ad- vance prices slightly. July crept up to 7.45. the highest figure recorded since the government report two weeks ago and October 7.35. There was practically no pressure of cotton and yet the actual vol- ume of business was apparently small. While news of Texas could not be worse and excessive rains have done some dam age in the region east of the river, no increase In buying Is noticeable and this continues to operate against the market Under ordinary circums stances the pres- ent estimate on the Texas crop ranging from 2,500,000 to 2, ,250 900 bales would bring in buying and an advancing market. As we said after the government condition was published such statement under the usual conditions would advance prices half cent or one cent a pound, but some how speculation has not increased and the market continues narrow AS long as crop news keeps so unfavorable from Texas there is very little prospect of break. There is prospect of a further advance Monday without rains over Sun day and then profits should be taken on

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

Naw York August 17-Yesterdays re-
 .ot,onarv tendency was renewed in this morning's S stock market, which declined further on comparatively light dealings. superficially the course of prices was &C., counted for by the unsatisfactory status of the steel strike, the more pessimistic nrophecies regarding the out turn of the corn crop. and by apprehensions that inc hank statement would show fur- ther reduction in surplus reserves. AS a matter of fact the retrograde movement in prices might reasonably be regarded as nothing more than continuation or re- action which set in yesterday, there has been a material reduction In the short interest in the market by reason of sus- tained advance in prices since Monday morning and the outside demand for stocks is still exceedingly limited. None of the, 5-L terests particularly unidentified with special securities appear to deem the present time propitous for undertake ing bull campaign in stocks and in fact the general market movements resulted almost entirely from the ventures of the professional element in and out of the board room. London sent in lower range of prices for American stocks to- day. but the dealings here for foreign &C., count were of inconsiderable volume; There were no significant exceptions to the general drift of prices. St. Paul was particularly weak on the intima1ons that 1t was not the intention of the manage ment to advance the rate of dividend at the September declaration period but there Is still a wide difference of opinion as to what they will do. Southern, Erie and other notably firm features of the weeks stock market were all reaction ary. Tn the industrial quartef the bulk of transactions were furnished by the United States Steel stocks and Sugar. which were decidedly heavy.

TRADING DRAGGED ALONG

New York, August 17.-The market opened steady with prices one point lower to one point higher for cotton. and much of the morning was hesitant and irregu- lar. News in hand was conflicting to a most. confusing extent. Trade reports were the worst yet received this sum- mer. On the other hand there were firm Liverpool cables a bullish review of the week South by the Chronicle and bad crop accounts again from Central Texas. The latter factor was more additionally potent by reason of forecase for con- tinued fair weather today over the vest ern belt. Much rain was again reported in parts of the eastern belt, but the gulf storm seems to be passing off over the Northern Georgia and the Carolinas without serious results to the crop. The forecast was for clearing weather over the Central and Eastern belt tomorrow Following the call the market became heavy through lack of speculative sup port and under profit taking by room longs New Orleans news was not favor able as was looked for. Trading dragged all the morning and was almost wholly or professional origin.
