New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS Aug. -5. -The market fc- spot cottcn was strong through the trar sections were COmpar4tiVely light This is readily accounted for when the chara cter of local offerings s considered The lower grades of the staple are not particularly scarce but the purchasing trade feels very Ii tie interest in them at this juncture What is wanIed now Is tenderable cotton and the high grades and of such styles there is butra fneagre sup ply remaining ir the hands of factors Sales. l.150 bales. including 250 to arrive Quotations 3-16 higher
 The market for contracts was very ac- tive today. Liverpool threw bomb into the field by opening up 1sc for spots and on contracts 9-S4Gl264d for the near months and 6-o4dtS-64d for the more dis tant positions, setting the long element on this s de wild with enthusiasm so that or t.me Texas rainfalls and general crop conditions were forgotten while the bulls beloved and paved around the ring hilariously joyful. Liverpool had been "caught short and her Ope ling advance was followed by additional gains that car ried the net gain for the day 12-64@l4-64d for near months and 9-64dl1-64d for those more distant The first call here showed on August, on September and 12dl5 points on the other positions. After the call prices fluctuated rapidly over range Of points on all save the current month. which had moved up 16 points. At the closing S.6O was bid for August. a gain of

August Corner Frightened Rapidly, That Option Reaching s.75-In the Last Half Hour the
 Market Based Off.

NEW YORK, Aug 22-The market for cotton futures opened firm in tone with prices up 9dl4 points in response to sen sationally strong Liverpool cables. the latter causing stampede of shorts here ard stimulating investment support. Soon after the call the trading level advanced to l4dlI points over last nights closing bids. after which fluctuations were very Irregular, according as protit-taking sales or new buying gained control. Yet the course of the market WIS unluestionably upward. on an unusually strong comhins- ton of pullsh influences. The most po- tent factor was a small panic of shorts in Liverpool, where pr.ces Were up lynl4 points, instead of the points IS expected on our closing of yesterday. The scare abroad was directly due to inability of spinners and August shorts to secure the cotton needed for the European bear in terests with the usual ultimate result of complete rout of the short interest Bulls were quick to take advantage of the situation and bid the English market up with great copfidence. Cables to this effect did much to enthHse the bull ele- ment here. Next to the foreign news, market advices from New Orleans had precedence. The August corner frightened rapidly, that option reaching S.I5 or So points over the figure current last night The later months were also very strong and the bear contingent made little de- fense. The views of spot cotton holders hardened apace and while there was large export and domestic mill demand at higher prices. sales were very small The print cloth sales of some 9OOoO pieces in Fall Rievr at an advance of 1-16c with the further advance in cotton cloths of 1-1fc helped materially to tone up the speculative market here The weather conditions present and prospective were far from what was desired; rains have fallen and indications are that they will continue to all over the eastern half Of the belt; drought continues prety much over the entire western belt. In the local market Fall River spinners were liberal buyers of the fall months on weak spots. Europe purchased on a large scale, though nervously. throughout the list. In the last half hour the market eased off to the low point of the day under selling for profits by the room element. The close was steady with prices net sdl0 points higher

Fetal Net Receipts of Cotton.
Chicago Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO. Aug. 23-Corn was heavily sold today and led a decline of other %c lower for delivery in September. Pro visions closed shade lower to 5971kc higher after fairly active day.
 Trade in wheat lacked even a suspicion on disappointing cables, September AQ%c down at 7012. Selling for the outside ac- count influenced small selling movement by the bear contingent. When some of market suddenly ran up to 70A This proved the best price of the day and there was scarcely moment during the remain der of the session when the early short sellers could not have covered at profit. The magnitude of seaboard clearances and reports of good buying in the cash mar ket put something Of a check on the bears for time. but did not materially affect prices and soon most of the pit influenced by the outside liquidation and the corn weakness-ml linly the latter joined the ranks of sellers an1 in conse- quence September worked down to 70. The 70&d70ls. The exporters reported thirty loads taken: Seaboard clearances were l. 22l 900 bushels. Primary receipts aggre- gated 1,021. .O00 almost exactly the equiva- lent of last years Local receipts were 145 cars. II of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 566 cars, making a total for the three points of TIP cars, against 442 last week4 and 742 year ago. Argentine shipments were 336, 900 bushels.
 Corn gave an exhibition of it's depend ence upon speculative support and showed how insufficient an undoubtedly strong situation could be when specula- tors relax their efforts to boost prices. The feature of the days trade was the large quantity for sale on outside orders. This was supposedly the response of the country districts to the call for more margins sent out shortly after the decline began few days ago. Heavy Argentine shipments, coming on top of a report that the exportabe surplus of that country was about exhausted, was an additional factor in weakening the market. The li- Ouidation was embraced by the bears to take a profitable ride downward with prices and although there was consider able profit-taking around the bottom the selling pressure continued the stronger and the close was weak. September sold between 56hd56&s and 54Ss and closed lA lower at 55d55h. Local receipts were 2I9 cars Argentine shipments aggregated g. O64 0O0 bushels. 100000 more than a year ago.
 The oats market naturally turned weak in sympathy with corn liquidation both for the country and the local account and there were rumors that a big local line had been started for other hands. Septem- Der sold between B and 34 and closed S4 down at 34A. Receipts were PA cars.
 Trade in provisions was moderately ac- tive Prices at the opening were slightly irregular and a slight decline followed in sympathy with the surrounding weakness. During this time considerable lard was sold. Following this better cash de- nand was claimed and as ribs in good quantities were bought by packers prices ary pork closed 5G711 higher at $155Od 15.52 January lard ar shade lower at $S 80 and January ribs 211 higher at $.s7

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says: The stock marekt was inert before the holiday, but there was a distinct ten dency on the part of high class invest ment shares to harden on the excellent bank returns. The attempt here to ad- vance American stocks again failed since about the only business was a levelling up of commitment before next weeks set clement. New York became a strong buyer of Baltimore and Ohio on rumors of com Ing rights. Union Pacific and Erie were also in demand. The latter Is regarded here as a dark horse. The general close was at the top. Copper stocks were also strong. Paris was a buyer on the strength of the metal. The Bank of England has G1O.O0O gold on the way from Africa. The bank is expected to reduce the buying price of bars.
