The summary of the weekly has improved in the Caroiinas Mississippi and Louisiana and in portions of Missouri and Tennessee. In Alabama and Florida light crop is indicated and in Georgia the outlook is so varied as to range from excellent to al most a complete failure.

 fBy Privata wire.l

NEW YORK. Aug. Ie.-The net result of the early movement in the cotton market was unchanged. prices for somo deliveries l point advance to point decline. The market lacked snap. Tn situation was too mixed and uncer
 tain to embolden either side and the fact that the Government report for the week was due at noon held both sides in control It may be said that while some large crop views are still entertained. there has been a tendency in the past week to modify the extreme bear ideas since it Is hardly possible that the pres
 ent month will fail to develop more or less deterioration as has been the case for unin- terrupted series of years. A good many poor reports are reaching here from Alabama and Georgia. The feeling is that Texas has been going back also. In that State torrential rains in the last month undoubtedly helped the crop and the trade jumped to the conclusion that an immense crop had thereby been insured. but has been all along claimed by the best in- formed people that well distributed rains were of much greater consequence than rains such as occurred some weeks ago. The range dur ing the morning was 5 to points. The weekly crop report was the varied condition in Georgia ranging within extreme limits ani Texas very poor The market rallied sharply on its appearance. Port receipts today esti- mated at $500 against 44oo last year.

Deliveries were higher by -64d and spots advanced i32d with sales of 2. 900 bales. All attention here directed to the weekly crop report which practically confirmed pri- vate advices about the serious deterioration and proved an incentive for better demand that resulted Tn fair improvement. Closing quotations are 5a7 points higher than yes terday. So far as the crop situation is con- cerned there are few now who doubt that the previous good prospects have not been some- what reversed but the chief question before many who have the present we'll the fu- ture in view, is will the South hold out for steady prices or will new receipts he forced for sale regardless of the nature of demand. Last years experience Is still imbedded in their memory. When spots under constant pressure during the forepart of the season and sales effected low down in the 7-cent column when the figure might have been obtained with the exercise of little patience
 In present circumstances. however. any ac- tive revival in trade demand for actual cot ton will doubtless encourage buying on larger scale than has been noticed for some time.
