Harry c. woodward was nomi.
mated by the Republican conven.

day, at Parkersburg, on the third

Scott whip was to be heard above
everything else. The Caldwell

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 4-There was no
strong influence at work in to-day's
stock market and the rate OF activity
fell away to about the dullest of the
year. The closing of the London Stock
Exchange was only slight factor in
the dullness. The consideration of the
future of the local money market was
a more effective consideration.
Last weeks loan increase has
brought the loans Of the New York
clearing house banks to a total of over
1913, DOC, 900, which is 81, 000, 900 in ex-
cess of those of a year ago. Deposits
are only about 100000 greater, but
the cash reserves are about IS, 900, 900
less than a year ago and the surplus
reserves about $S,000,00O less. But the
condition of the New York trust COM
panies is Of greater Importance now
than ever before in estimating the
money situation, their deposits on June
3, of $3.50, 900 comparing with $751;
900, 900 in the banks on the same date.
Comparative figures show that trust
company loans on collateral and on
personal security were over $3.50, 000, 900,
compared with s547 100000 a year ago,
while the actual cash on hand report
ed by these institutions on June 30,
waS only $S.23S, 100, or less than $1,000
900 greater than last year. The enor-
nous expansion Of the business Of the
trust companies is the key to the eau
ticus feeling which gains force as the
period approaches for the interior de-
mond for currency.
The days developments seem 10

vance eliminated large, weak short
interest and the selling orders receiv-
ed from the South, based on a bureau
report of over so, caused the sharp
break when S1.9 was given out. This
estimate is assumed to indicate a crop
of 100000 bales, based on COMPARE
son with last season. We used that
amount of cotton for the worlds spin
ming requirements, so that we must
raise more than that to obtain any
surplus. The crop is thought to have
improved during the past week where
rains have fallen east of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river and in Arkansas, where they
were needed. The general temper is
bearish. New cotton is beginning to
move freely in Southern Texas. At
ter the bureau report the market broke
on Southern selling orders, as the gen
eral impression is that the crop has
improved since the report was COM
piled. Europe has not sent any orders
since the report reached them. Their
attitude remains, therefore, to be seen.
The temper here is undoubtedly bear
1sh, and lower prices are looked for.
The advance of Saturday left the mar
ket without any weak short interest,
and the decline in condition was not
severe enough to bring in buyers.

H. q d. BEERS Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, Aug. 4.-The favorable
crop report issued by the New Orleans
1lmes-Democrat this morning caused
our market to open 4 to lower and
upon the issuance of the bureau re-
port an additional decline of 6 to 7 was
established, as the document was bet
ter than looked for. The net loss on
the day was 10 to II points.
The bureau made the general aver
age condition S1.9 per cent as com
pared to 77.2 last week, OF an increase
OF Al points over last year. The re-
port states that Texas has only in
creased points over last month, not
outstanding the drought, which ex-
listed then has been broken, and con-
ditions on the whole have been very
propitious for the development of the
plant
The New Orleans Times Democrat,
however, this morning issued its crop
report, which is based on replies OF
correspondents up to noon of August
3, whereas the Bureau and New York
Journal of Commerce closed their re-
ports on July rs. The concensus of
opinion arrived at by the Times Demo-
crat is that the crop outlook has un-
dergone moderate improvement dur
ing July. This is the general opinion
of the trade, also and it is believed
that had the bureau brought its figures
up to August l that the general aver
age condition would have been about
two points higher, because general
rains between July 20 and the first of
August occasioned a marked improve
ment in those states requiring mois-
ture. The weather was generally fair
over the cotton region to-day and the
indications are for a continuance of
fair weather in this district during the
next thirty-six hours, except in South
ern Louisiana where showers will
probably occur. The future course of
values will be regulated by the move
ment of new cotton and daily weather
conditions.

gold is over for the present. owing
probably to the success attending the
French rente conversion plan. Dis
counts in Paris to-day fell to near 2
per cent. and an advance in the ster-
ling rate there indicated renewed e.
mittances to London to be placed In
the loan market there. Aside from this
general repressive influence, only a few
stocks were affected by individual
causes. The iron and steel group had
seine advantage from the brilliant
trade prospects, the strong semi-an-
nnal report of the Republic Steel Com
pany, rumors of coming developments
concerning the Pressed Steel Car Com
pany, and inspired limitations of large
earnings for July by the United States
Steel corporation. The governments
favorable estimates of the August 1
cotton condition had some effect on
cotton-carrying railroads, and an at
tempt was made to advance the coal
ers on the idea that coal mining may
be resumed soon. But the effect was
only transitory. Profit-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 few
