COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 16.-The cotton mar
ket opened barely steady with prices
points higher to lower. The room
contingent appeared to be very mixed
In its ideas as to the immediate course
OF the market owing to the exceptional
conflicting character of influences at
work and devoted operations almost
exclusively to working out of former
ventures. The English cables were
considerably better than expected, fu-
lures closing net unchanged to II
point higher, whereas a decline of ia
points had been quite generally anti
cipated by the trade here. Crop ad-
vices from the eastern belt reported
moderate rains. Europe and the
South sent small selling orders and
commission houses as a rule advised
constituents to take profits, believing
that some further decline was at
hand. Whereas August managed to
stiffen to S.45c 'on the call, later sales
were effected at a sharp decline from
that figure. Receipts continued much
smaller than looked for, but had lit
tie weight as an influence. Disappoint-
ing reports from Southern spot mar
kets and trade in dry goods gave lit
tie sign of broadening. The official
weather map gave neither side a spe-
cial advantage.

Murphy & Co... Cotton letter.

New York, Aug. 16.-Reports from
various sources to-day, including the
Chronicle, were generally of a favora-
BILE character as regards the crop out
look. The dry goods situation was in
good shape, and a most conservative
view is now entertained as to what
the cotton market is likely to do. Liv-
erpool was quite satisfactory, and is
making q, good showing in view of the
fuller movement of new cotton. Ex-
pectation is that with the dwindling
stocks there will be initiative for a bull
campaign in the course of a few weeks
since the report of the coming week
will probably show a loss in stocks
from last year in all kinds. The Amer
lean at last accounts being already
within 10000 of last years figures.
Moreover the price of spots at Liver
pool are now only I'd above last years
figures, which is too low considering
the present crop uncertainties. After
opening featureless the market went
off to points, in spite of good cables
Receipts estimated $500, against 1900
last year.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET

New Orleans. Aug. ia fair de-
mand for spot cotton prevailed to-day
Quotations unchanged.
In futures only a moderate business
was transacted. The opening range
was not materially apart from yester-
days closing prices and the variations
thereafter, while fairly wide, covering
to points, were not indicative of any
particular sentiment among operators.
On the contrary. the market was most
Gn1nteresting, and at the end of the
short hours showed net gains of but
l to 8 points from yesterdays closing

and after selling at 1867. 75c, ruled
at 7.75c at II a. m. A quiet market
without any outside buying and some
selling by Southern exporters, against
purchases made in the South was the
record of to-day until the last half
hour, when some buying which has
been the feature of the past two weeks
appeared and closed the market slight
ly better than yesterday. Our stock
here is running away sharply, losing
5000 bales since yesterday, and 1t Is
expected to be decidedly smaller before
the end of the season. Good rains are
reported from many places in Georgia,
North and South Carolina, which must
be beneficial. Light showers in Ala

exceptions than yesterday. Receipts

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 16.-To-day's bank
statement reinforced the admonition of
yesterdays 6 per cent. call money rate
as to the narrowing resources of the
local money market. In spite of the
relief afforded by extensive transfers
of loans to foreign leaders, through
the medium of the exchange market,
the large local requirements have re-
suited in increasing the average of
bank loans to the extent of $2,653, 000
The stock market was dull and pro-
fessional throughout. There is no loan
market on Saturday and the <racti-
cal effect of the bank statement on
the money market must await the
opening on Monday. 1t is clear that
higher money rates are indicated. There
was continuance of the aggressive
bull movement in the Toledo, ST. Louis
and Western stocks, but they reacted
sharply with the generally heavy tone
developed after the bank statement

dertaken - Turpentine Quiet at
A4.c-LocaI and Telegraphic Mar
kets.
The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Aug. 16.
The cotton futures markets were
nounced movement either way. Great
uncertainty prevails as to the probable
outturn of the new crop, and pending
more positive developments the trade
will likely hesitate. In the spot mar
kets very little business was done,
though there is still inquiry.
As far as the continuance of hot and
dry weather in the cotton belt is con-
cerned there has been no very great
damage from those conditions as yet,
except from shedding and premature
opening of bolls in some sections, says
an exchange. The crop always deter
iorates very materially in August, and
such deterioration as is now going on
is only natural, and to have been ex-
pected. 1t remains to be seen whether
the present. excessively not ana dry
conditions will continue long enough to
very seriously affect the present pros
pect which is now generally admitted
by conservative interests that the crop
at present looks like producing over
100000 bales. There never was any
prospect for 10000 600 bales, and such
estimates as were given out in that
connection were simply conjectures.
The crop has been a very spotted one
all the season, and is now more so than
ever. The final outturn will depend
to a very great extent on whether the
frost period at the end of the season
will be late or early. A late fall and
good open picking weather with late
frost will be absolutely essential for the
crop to produce anything like II, $780,
600 bales in the opinion of generally
recognized conservative and unbiased
experts.
The turpentine market closed quiet

ms closed firm. Resume Of the mar

New York, Aug. 16.-The stock mar

on this theory, which included the sup
position that the coming week would
be marked with possible monetary fur

confined within fractional limits. Ex-
