slightly beneficial and the central part of Texas Is still without moisture. This shows that the very best weather will be needed from now on to raise conditions, and 1t is question whether a sufficient improvement can take place to offset the damage done. The crop Is very spotted one and the reports now comingsin show that there Is nothing in the outlook to short cotton on at this season of the year. The market Is still narrow, ex- tremely narrow, and for that reason we are not inclined to look for much of an advance at present. The trade at Fall River and abroad is not such as to induce active speculation, and this continues to effect the market. few days ago every one was buying cotton, the early part of the week everybody sold cotton, and yes- terday and today the buying back has been underway Whether enough outside buying can be attracted to continue the upward movement remains to be seen. There Is certainly nothing in crop &C., counts to cause short selling for any. thing more than temporary weakness for the crop outlook is shrouded in uncertain ty.

New orlean, Cotton Market.

New Orleans August 10.-There was ht- tie or nothing doing in the line or spot cotton today. A somewhat better ieeiihs was extant in the market, but buyers were not willing to meet fully the views of factors, and in consequence traolns was very limited, the total sales TOT the the day being but 250 bales of spots and loV bales to arrive Offerings of medium and low grades were fairly free, but the bet ter qualities which are especially wanted are scarce, and lists that are still in the hands of factors are held above the quoted level. Quotations unchanged.
 The market for contracts was rather quiet during the short hours today, but there was a better rum of business than during yesterday operators on the long side showing rather more confidence as a result of the marked improvement in prices at Liverpool and taking on some goodly new lines, in which an Eastern interest was clearly perceptible The first call showed 1 to points higher working up slowly but steadily until the close of business, when the local board showed net gains from yesterdays level of 6 to points on all save the current month, which was one point down.

 New York, August 10.-Liverpool cables showed an advance of about 3-64d on fu- lures and 1-32d on spots on sales of 5000 bales, which was considerably better than expected. and New York opened up sew eral points in sympathy. The Chronicle review of the week was bullish, noting continuance of the drouth in the central portion of Texas. excessive rains along the Atlantic coast, a condition of about 65 per cent for the hill country of Arkan- sas and further deterioration In the Mem- phis district. The weather map failed to show any rain of note in Texas while the indications for tonight and tomorrow for that section failed to give any hope of re- lief, and prices steadily worked higher, closing around the best of the day with a net advance of 5 to points, In which the more distant positions led. The mar ket early next week will depend largely on the developments in weather cond- tions in Texas, which continues the strategic point.
 Continued drouth in that state with the present low condition cannot but fail to be serious in its effect on the yield of cot

New York August 1O.-The cotton mar ket opend quiet but firm with prices to 5 points higher in sympathy with an ad- vance of to points in futures in Liver pool. After call the trading level was 6 to ' points above last nights figures on some foreign buying and light support from the South As the New Orleans displayed even more strength than our market shorts were disposed to give ere dence to the Southwestern crop damage news. The weekly crop weather review by the Chronicle was bullish and did much to strengthen bull convictions around the call Too much rain was com plained of in parts of the South Atlantic states and drouth was complained of in important areas of the Southwest. The first wave of buying carried October to 729 and January to 7.S4 from which there was a slight reaction. Profit taking was active for Saturday half holiday though public orders were scarce. The weather map showed continued dry conditions west of the Mississippi and the forecast gave little hope of break in the drouth over, Sunday.

Murphy & Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York, August 1o.-The stock mar ket was uniformly dull through the business session and the trading was characterized by very uncertain tone The market opened fairly steady, partly apparently on account of the firmness shown in American stocks in the Lon don market but it was soon apaprent that there was no active demand for securi- ties while scattering liquidation appear ed in several directions. There's was feeling of Encouragement evident in that the secretary of agriculture, after trip of investigation throughout the corn belt had been compelled to revise the san guine views he has hitherto held and ex- pressed in regard to the final out-turn of the corn crop. Active features of the early market were Peoples Gas. the United States Steel issues St. Paul. Union Pacific and tlfe Atchisons. St. Paul and Union Pacific were both heavy and the steel stocks were dealt in below yester- days final figures. The bank statement showed an unexpectedly large increase in the loan account $7,94S0O0. Such an in- crease could have resulted from the weeks operations in the stock market alone. but no particular light was thrown on the matter resulting In the rise in the account. The banks still hold about $2l ,000O 900 in excess of the lawful require ment. The publication of the figures of bank statement was followed by renewed and rather more urgent liquidation in the stockl market with further declines re- suited. P. O. was pretty weak but with the exception of 8 few specialties in the railway list there were no excep- lions to the general sagging tendency.
