advices yesterday were very discouraging
they failed to affect either home markets

vanced. notwithstanding that bearish senti-

The feeling that the cotton market had
suffered from a steady and heavy decline
and fears that the monthly bureau report
on Monday will reflect private complaints
of drouth IN central and eastern portions Of
cotton districts and foods and boil weevil

mate OF T0,6 created decidedly nervous
feeling among shorts and a better disposi
ton 10 purchase ana were the principal
causes for the advances In both home mar
kets In both the near and distant options
today and yesterday. Trading is very quiet.

bureau report and many conservative
traders have eliminated all their inter;
ests from the market and are prepared
TO decide quickly and act promptly either

NEW YORK COTTON.

The Market Opened Firm and Held So
to the Close.
New York, August 1.-The cotton market
opened firm with prices 3 to points high
er and Immediately following the call con
tinued TO work up on fairly active general
buying, led more or less by uneasiness or
shorts The demand from the bear contin.
gent was led by a prominent Wall street
operator who purchased October and Jan
uary In large blocks. The upward move
ment gave no sign of wavering until Au-
gust bad passed S.24, October III ana
January 7.72. The South, commission
houses and the West were buyers of the
distant months. German interests and PM
adelphia appeared to be quielly gathering
IA August contracts. Europe was some
thing of buyer here The chief factor
prompting the buying was fear that next
Mondays bureau report on crop conditions
will be hullish All told, the climatic re
ports were greatly In favor Of the shorts.
The trading in the local was active all the
forenoon.
