ly unimportant. The average condition during July was put down at S1.9, which compares with SAT last month and 77.2 last year. Judging from the course Of the market, a greater deterioration than points had been looked for during the month or at any rate it appeared that a condition of any figure above 80 resolv- ed by bears as sufficient provocation for an onslaught. A fair demand appeared at the decline, however. which brought about a quiet condition again. Closing quotations are about Il points lower than Saturday. Besides the agricultural bureau the Times Democrat gave an extensive report on the crop which with the excep- tion of the Texas flood districts, indi- cated a general Improvement in the out look. The weekly foreign trade reports were again rather unsatisfactory. The accounts from Manchester denoted that even the arrangement of miscel- laneous lots to clear space before the holidays failed to arouse activity amongst buyers. Yet 1t seems that the level of price is the main obstacle to a better business. Thus with developments am tagonistic to the market. bearish senti- ment has multiplied somewhat and 1t is not uncommon to hear predictions of the price starting with the figure $ within a short while, but it is interesting to note that the situation Is not entirely devoid of friendship at the existing level

 The coffee market opened steady, with August 5 points higher and other months unchanged to points lower. For the bal- ance of the session a most irregular course was followed with the bull sym dicate practically In control whereas for some time past the near positions have ruled relatively firm on the bull contin- gent, today they were relative weak and finished at about the bottom, with senti- ment concerning them once more quite bearish The importing element sold with considerable confidence at times, believ- ing the weaker shorts to have covered and that large speculative long interest has accumulated. A reaction was regard ed as in order, particularly as Brazil re- ceipts were heavy and foreign market news not up to expectations. Trading was very active all day, with the close firm Near months were all net unchanged to 10 points lower, while distant months were unchanged to 15 points higher, total sales were 13l,5O0 bags, including August at 5.6OQ5.S5; September 5.5505. 80; Octo- Der 5.35Q550; December 545D5. 50; Janu- ary 5.45q5.55; February 5.45; March .40D 5.65; May 5.60q5.75; June 5.65@5. 80; July 5.75Q5.95.

NAu orIeana Market.

New Orleans, August 4.-There was a moderate movement in the spot cotton market today, bids as a rule being well below board figures, and except on the basis of liberal concessions, the purchas- ing element refused to trade. On the other hand, factors still showed decided indifferences in the matter of unloading their holdings. Odds and ends were not held with any degree of firmness. but there was no disposition evinced by sell CTS to let go of their desirable lists at ruling prices. Many of the tables were covered and in some cases factors even refused to fix an asking price. Sales bales. Quotations reduced 1-16 on all grades
 In the future market values sagged off 1 to points on the first call, the subse- Quent early fluctuations covering a range of but 1 to 2 points either way. At Il a. m. the government bureaus report. giv- ing the average for the month at S1.9. came in, and at once set the market in a turmoil. The figure was rather more favorable for the short element than had been anticipated, and despite the hercul- can efforts of the bulls to support prices, August at once sold down points and September, October and December 5 points each. In the excitement that pre- vailed for time values fiuotuated home to points from the lowest level, but matters soon quieted down, and at the close the board showed net losses con- pared with Saturdays closing of 10 to Il points

 Which Gains Force.
LOANS HAVE INCREASED

New York, August 4-There was no strong influence at work in today's stock market and the rate of activity fell away to about the dullest of the year The clos ing of the London exchange was only a slight factor In the dullness. The c6nsid- eration of the future of the local money market was a more effective considera- tion Last weeks loan increase has brought the loans of the New York clear ing house banks to a total of over $519,- 100000 which Is s41, 100000 in excess of those of year ago.
 Deposits are only about million great CT but the cash reserves are about $S00O,- GOO less than year ago and the surplus reserves about ss,oOO,O00. But the eondi- ton of the New York trust companies Is of greater importance now than ever before in estimating the money situation their deposits on June of s7O6, 600 com pairing with s957, o,OOO in the banks on the same date. Comparative figures show that the trust companies loans on collat- eral and on personal securities were over $6sO. GOO, GOO compared with s547 100000 year ago, while the actual cash on hand re- ported by these institutions on June 30 was only $S,23S,110 or less than a million greater than last year. The enormous expansion of the business of the trust companies is the key to the cautious feel ing which gains force as the period ap- breaches for the interior demand for cur rency
 Today's development seems to show that the outward movement of gold Is over for the present, owing probably to the success attending the French rentes conversion plan. Discounts in Paris to- day fell to near ? per cent, and an ad- vance in the sterling rate there indicated new remittances to London 70 pc placed In the loan market there. Aside from this general oppressive influence, only a few stocks were affected by individual causes. The iron and steel group had some advantage from the brilliant trade prospects, the strong semi-annual report of the Republic Steel Company, rumors of coming developments concerning the Pressed Steel Car company and inspired intimations of large earnings for July by the United States Steer corporation. The governments favorable estimates of the August 1 cotton condition had some effect on cotton-carrying roads, and an attempt was made to advance the coalers on the idea that coal mining may be re- sumed soon. But the effect was only transitory. Proft-taking by the room traders who had been the only buyers caused prices to retrace their course. One or two stiffened up at the last, notably Texas and Pacific, but the closing was dull and irregular.
 There was a violent rise and a feverish reaction in the Central of Georgia in- come bonds. Otherwise there was no feat ure in the bond market. Total sales par value, $1,112000. United States bonds were unchanged on the call.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, August 1.-The Liverpool cotton market was closed today and for this reason the early market was slow. Over Saturday developments were of no impor tance. Texas advices were con firmatory of no injury, of consequence, as result of big overflow in that state and Alabama. Advices were rather pes- simistic and indicated the crop far from fine, but of possibilities of a good yield with perfection from now on. Bulls are relying on depletion of stocks at Liver pool as will be favored by moderate August movement since the roads have been made more impossible by reason of the very heavy rains of late
 As regards Liverpool astute observers are preparing for repetition of situa- tion two seasons back when Liverpool rose to TIA and New York to 10 cents because of small available cotton on hand. An easy market developed after the call on withdrawal of buyers and prices showed to points net loss. The Texas forecast was for fine weather The bureau figures. S1.9 per cent con dition was generally expected and esti- mated The immediate effect in the mar ket was 10 to IA points decline. Port re- ceipts today. 1500 vs zvvJ. Spots. 8 15-16c.
