It seems to be a drouth year. and for this reason August may not prove much more of a cotton-srowins month than July. At least, the usual uni forrnity of seasons keeps operators from shorting cotton freely After there seems something definite to so ot1 cotton may be a safe sale or purchase, but for the time being the market is expected to be nothing more than one in which to take profit from scalping. We do not Look for a change before the government report, though prices today and tomorrew should be followed by recovery.

 New York. July S0.-If anything, the market was even duller than yesterday, with almost no business here or in New Orleans The situation seems to be sim ply this: Prices have declined sufficiently to discount the improvement that has taken place in various parts of the belt. and are now awaiting some new develop meft. There is general feeling that no change of importance can be executed be- fore the government report, and the mar ket is therefore one to purchase on any decline for slight profit. This opinion is so general that few are inclined to trade on any other basis and the unanimity of opinion restricts fiuctuations.as many are willing to buy on decline and all are waiting to sell on an advance.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Stock Letter.
 New York. July 30-Nothing calculated to exctte activity on either side of the market was contained In the morning s general news and the stock market in the early dealings was extremely dull and irregular. Slight advances, however. pre- dominated In the early trading and there seemed to be some slight feeling of uneasi- ness lest the negotiations opened with a view of bringing the strike in the steel trade to a termination should 1t prove abortive Thds mornings intelligence re- specting the agricultural situation was again encouraging. but received scant at tention in trading. London seIA~a lower range of prices for American stocks, all though some issues there were strong notably St. Paul and Union Pacific. Both stocks opened in the local market above parity with last nights final figures, but subsequently, became reactionary. The steel issues, while actively dealt in. suf- fered somewhat from the noted uneasiness respecting the labor troubles. The Lon don quotations for American stocks were followed up by only moderate orders for foreign account in this market. and they appeared on both sides of the account. Relatively active features of the opening were the Atchison issues, Southern Pa cific. the Erie share and Southern Rail- way. Among the specialties there were moderate dealings in Pacific Mail and Amalgamated Copper. Little or nothing was done in the industrial quarter apart from the United States Steel issues. The local traction stocks also were neglected. A somewhat steadier- tone was apparent after the early irregularity. but the trad ing continued in a light volume.
