Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 19.-The feeling in
cotton circles to-day was that the
closing days of August were likely to
witness no little animation in cotton.
The most critical month of the crop
has been sore disappointment to be-
levers in lower prices. They have fail
ed to report anything like the rain
needed there, in fact the drought may
be said to be unbroken, as a whole the
rain thus far being merely dust layers.
The fact remains that no ground soak
ers have occurred, and this must not be
lost sight of. Texas dispatches to- day
through best sources, declared the
damage in cotton as irreparable. First
prices were at about Saturdays final
figures on quite small business. Sub
sequently prices were irregular and
then weak on rumors of rain in Cen
trail Texas. Gables We're on point high
er. The government forecast was for
showers in the East, and West Texas.
Rain to a moderate extent was report
ed to-day at several Texas stations,
also at some Atlantic and Gulf sta
lions elsewhere. Memphis had close TO
~ inches. Port receipts to-day were
estimated 1000, against LOO last year.
Deterioration is the universal COM
plant now coming in from Texas, and
the question is how long can this last
before the serious condition of crop is
conceded. Not more than one bale to
four acres is not an unusual claim,
and not a few assert that the crop
certainly can't prove more than 35 to
40 per cent. of last years yield. In sec
tons where rain has been conspicuous
by it's absence the statement is made
that moisture now would prove of no
benefit; in other words, the time when
rain could have helped cotton has
passed, and at this juncture it would
prove more harmful than good. Not
long since, the proper accounts were
confined largely to the northern and
central stations of the state, and now
similar reports are reaching here from
western stations, and even extreme
Southern sections, where it was sup
posed to be in excellent shape.

The Morning News Office,
Monday, Aug. 10.
The feature of to-day's markets was
,be general dullness that characterized
nearly all branches. No influence de-
veloped during the day to stimulate
trading, and as result the closing
witnessed transactions of moderate
volume. In the cotton market little
was doing. New York stocks closed
featureless, with the demand light, and
with an apparent reluctance on the
mart of holders to part with their rse-
curities at a time when it seemed nee
ecessary to do so at sacrifice of their
real value. Hence transactions on the
stock Exchange were greatly restrict
ed. In the local markets turpentine
closed firm ut "a, resins firm, and spot

marked down 10 points in the wholesale
branch. The following resume of the
markets will show their tone and quo
tations at the closing to-day:

The Market Quiet, Through Little
Tendency TO Yield.
New York, Aug. 19.-Dealings in
stocks to-day were too small to offer
a broad basis for generalization. But
the fact is significant that very few
stocks were offering for sale, holders
apparently being content to retain their
holdings, in spite of some of the de-
velopments unfavorable to values, SO
that the demand, small though it was,
was sufficient to overcome the opening
decline and establish a higher range OF
prices than those at the close Of last
week.
The additions to the ranks of the
striking steel workers over Sunday was
responsible for the opening heaviness,
not only in these stocks, but in the
general list. The interests involved in
the strike are so large that it's vicissi-
tudes affect the values of all securities
The market guardians of the steel
stocks compared them and the starting
of some of their mills had a reviving
effect. But they did not fully share in
the later recovery of the market, which
carried some of the railroad stocks sub
stantially over Saturdays prices.
The activity and strength was con-
fined to a few stocks only, and was
apparently due to causes individual to
those stocks. Norfolk and Western was
most conspicuous under the influence
of the net earnings of the company
for the fiscal year, showing a substan-
tial surplus over the present dividend
rate. Chesapeake and Ohio rose to a
less extent in sympathy The buying
of these stocks was attributed to Phil
adelphia account. The figures Of the
coal export trade published this mora
ing, showing the value of coal exports
doubled since 1897 and the amount more
than trebled since 1891 were an infiu-
ence in the strength of these stocks
which are peculiarly benefited by the
coal export trade. Norfolk and West
ern rose az over Saturday. The rise
in st. raul and Atchison reached abou
the same figure in a sudden squirt just
before the close. Chicago and Eastern
Illinois mounted points over the pre-
vious sale. Amalgamated Copper re-
sumed it's upward movement and there
was some activity in Sugar, owing to
the concerted action of the companies
in fixing prices. The stock advanced
but lost practically all the rise.
There was greater confidence felt in
the money outlook than on Saturday,
after the bank statement. This feeling
was due TO several causes. The unex-
pectedly large decrease in cash was
said to be due to the retirement OF
circulation by the absorbed Bank OF
the Republic. The sub treasury has
made a small contribution to the money
market since Friday by reason Of large
pension payments and disbursements
