she heard everything he said.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
New Orleans, Aug. Section future
Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. S.-Absence of buy
ers in the early market led to a fresh
decline of l to points, weak longs let
ting go, and confident bulls picking up
a few small lots. Weather map was
clear everywhere except Galveston,
Charleston and Augusta. 1t is evident
that Texas is still without the general
soaking rains she needs, and has been
looking for, while the Carolinas and
Georgia seem to be suffering from ex-
cessive rains, which may lead to seri-
Gus consequences. The chances for
lower prices were regarded as quite
slim, and the expectation is that we
shall witness a hardening of values
based on the belief that the loss al
ready recorded suffices for present crop
conditions, and possibility of improv-
ing spinning demand. 1t was felt that
we had about reached the point where
the trade was prepared to give greater
support. Liverpool increased her spot
demand to-day to the heaviest figures
for maiy weeks. Futures there were
unchanged at the close. Port receipts
5000 against 900 last year.
The price of cotton now, compared
with one year ago, is attracting no lit
tie attention, and must have quite
little bearing on the course of specula-
ton in the near futures, regardless of
now encouraging tne crop may appear
in the eyes of those who wish TO disre-
gard the fact that it is very tate, and
stated at the present time with no lit
tie danger ahead Of poorly distributed
rains, and early killing frost.
Ruling prices for spots at New York
at present are almost ~ cents below
those prevailing one year ago on the
corresponding day. while spots at Liv-
erpool are about 19-32d lower. These
differences are entirely too great to be
ignored even after taking into consid-
Grafton the only bear movement heard
of, poor trade conditions everywhere,
and ample stocks carried by mills in
Europe and America, and increased
acreage, which is really about the most
serious bear argument of all.

New York, Aug. S.-Developments in
the stock market to-day favored OPP
demand which was broader than for
some time carried many properties to
a substantially higher level. Indi-
cations were not Wanting to show that
traders were attaching more impor-
lance to the character of the crop
news and the high ratio of railroad
earnings.
These considerations outweighed the
earlier repressive influences on the
market by the announcement of the
steel strike and steel stocks were pur-
chased with an apparent great show
of confidence. Unusual prominence
was given to the trading in the Unit
ed States Steel stocks owing to the
frequency with which large blocks
changed hands at a rising scale. Pro-
fessional operators were inclined to
cover shorts in these issues owing to
the resumption of work at some plants
and official announcement of the abb
sorption of the Shelby Tube Works.
When the prices of the steel stocks
began to mount upwards and reached
a level "a and per cent. respectively
above yesterdays close for the COM
mon and preferred, the general mar
ket kept pace with the movement and
exceeded those gains in some in
stances.
There were many Interruptions to
the general rise during the day by
profit-taking and short selling by the
room operators, but the recessions were
not very noteworthy except for the
United States Steel stocks which end
ed about a point below the best when
a report circulated that a prominent
operator was unloading stock purchas-
ed at a much lower level This sell
ing soon affected the other market but
semi stagnation soon resulted and the
closing dealings showed steadiness.
Conspicuous strength was displayed by
st. Paul, Union Pacific, Missouri Pa
cific, Sugar and Lackawanna, which
were from TX to points higher and
lead the gains, in their respective
groups.
The declaration of only the regular
dividend on Union Pacific was without
effect on the stock, the price IN fact
ruling at ON, the best price of the
day. when the announcement was
made. No explanation was made of
the rise to 99h at the close by Missouri
Pacific. but 1t was asserted that a
speculative interest was responsible for
the movement. Stocks which usually

has been apparent on the part of oper-

in spite of no encouragement from Liv-

moment, is entirely in the hands of the

are pessimistic and while some claim
spinners there will take hold on any
marked decline, others state stocks are
accommodating, as the output is much in
excess of the demand. Crop accounts

with the exception of rains being

there was very little doing on this ba-

',sas around the prices of last night. A
aatisfactory demand was reported in

,,roduce any sharp price movement
either up or down.
The turpentine market seems to have
,oet the snap it took on recently, and
which promised that the price would
rsach a higher point than it did before
the TOP was touched. The demand has
annarently been satisfied to large ex-
tent and buyers have quietly with
drawn from the market, leaving the
situation apathetic. Indifference was
evident on all sides, even among fac
tors themselves at times, and the day
closed without scoring any improve
ment. On the contrary it was reported
after the closing that the real market
was barely steady at S41sc. Resins
closed firm and unchanged, with the
undertone decidedly quiet.
SPOT cotton declined hc, though there
seemed some little improvement in the
demand. 1t was the understanding
that a few orders came from the mills
and on the strength of this, together
with the fact that orders were reported
as also coming from Fall River, the
market took on some life, though not
enough to impart any great strength

the demand was reported as fair, with
some trading. Offerings were satisfac-
