Cotton Letter.


C. w. Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to Goth
ran & Co.
New York. July 1O.-The market is dead
There's no life in it up or down. Perhaps
its an artificial stiffness. Weather reports
point that way. Temperatures In Geor-
STA have beaten all records. Considering
<here has been a deficiency of 10 inches
in rainfall at a great many places, this
heat must be bad for cotton The map
has been abnormal for long time. Now
1t looks as though skies were clearing
in the west. If, out of rain comes sun
shine and a clearing map, the only hope
of a rain in the South will be off the
Gulf This may not come in weeks. The
situation begins to have elements of
grave danger in 1t. We can do no more
than call attention to the weekly show
ing in deterioration in Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama, also to the
deficiency of rainfall in all cotton states
this spring and to the present weather
map. If we have clearing weather over
the country generally during the coming
few days 1t will Indicate the rain has
fallen in the North, leaving the South
out of it. Thin will mean small crop
as compared with the worlds wants and
will also mean much higher prices than
any that prevailed While there is moth
Ing now to warrant purchases we fell
justified In calling attention to the fact
ors surrounding the growing crop, which
today are not such as to produce a
bumper crop. If the condition grows
worse and makes a crop smaller than,
or as small, as last year, as probably
there will be more cotton speculation this
year, since the fall of 1899.

STOCK MARKET
IS AGAIN LIVELY
Speculative Influences Affected
the Grain Market
NEW YORK CENTRAL LEADS
Realizing Continued In Stocks In Spite
Of the Clearing Weather In Crop
Regions--Attrlbuted TO
the Corn Corner

New York. July TO- = Today's stock
market was highly speculative through
out and speculative influences affected
the grain marketE as well, and even the
money and exchange markets. In the
stock market there was large buying of
New York Central, which was the leader
OF the market by the same brokers
which were heavy sellers OF western
grain-carrying railroad stocks. The con-
viction was general today that this was
a maneuver to facilitate taking profits
in the western stocks in the so-called
western contingent. which is engrossed
with the conduct of the corner In July
corn at Chicago. This operation looms
big in financial affairs.
The realizing in stocks in spite of the
clearing weather in the crop regions to-
day, the continued heavy shipments Of
currency to Chicago, the rising rates for
time money here, the selling of loan bills
in the foreign exchange market which
has averted gold exports, are all attrib-
uted in some degree to the exigencies OF
the corn corner. There were no currency
transfers to Chicago through the sub
treasury today, but 100000 went through
that institution to New Orleans, and it is
estimated that the express companies
took another million and half to Chi
cago today. A recovery In the New York
discount rate there from 80 cents to 90
cents indicated some resulting relief
from the pressure upon New York.
The higher rates Cor time loans here en-
ccuraged further borrowing of foreign
funds through the sterling market But
the stocks which rose In price were sold
for London account, thus increasing the
demand for exchange In payment. Three
months transfer of currency through the
sub-trcasury to Chicago have now
for this time lest year, and to New Or
leans this months movement Is x00o0o
compared with s150,000. Reports from Chi
cago indicate that heavy demands are
making on that center for currency from
western and northwestern points
That The stock market is still we'll in
control by large speculative interests
wss demonstrated by the early strength
of the eastern trunk lines and by the
revival Of strength in Missouri Pacific.
The six point squirt in sugar was in the
nature of g punishment to bear specula-
tors, who have sold this stock short very
freely recently. The aggressive rally In
Colorado Fuel and the upward rush In
United States Steel at the close today
were suggestive of like results. The clos
ing was generally steady.
The bond market was irregular.
Total shares, par value, s2,SOOo0O.
United States bonds were unchanged on
the last call.

Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, July 10.-The question Of
rain in the south as usual attracted at
tention in the cotton market today.
There was an absence of moisture of
consequence when the market opened,
except at Atlanta to the extent Of 1.02
and at Oklahoma LOS, while the govern
ment forecast was for further showers
in all the state and territories without
exception. 1t is contended that these
showers have so far failed to prove
beneficial because of extremely high
temperature. Official records show in
tensely high figures for successive days
and the condition of soil, 1t is urged, was
such as to nullify all advantage from the
moisture from which there Is possibility
of more injury than benefit, so 1t is as
serted. The trade, however. has the
motion that the rains which set in in
Texas in the last week in June and since
in other drouth regions suffice to put
the crop in excellent shape and have ac-
corSHgly undertaken TO oppose an adj
vance at this time, although Liverpool
is buying on a quite liberal scale and

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, July 10.-A somewhat
better demand has developed in the mar

buyers were moving about during the
early hours today in search of desirable
lists of the staple This improved inquiry
and the fact that values are distinctly
firmer, as the result of the continued
large movement at Liverpool, where
prices are again moving on the up
grade, evidently induced factors to UNI
cover few additional lists. Sales were
$50 bales. Quotations unchanged.
Futures at the opening call were even
to / point higher. Under the influence of
better cables prices soon gained to 5
points but on the second call receded to
points on the several months. Interest
is now confined almost entirely to the
professional element and neither tho
bulls nor bears seem disposed to force
the fighting. The uncertainties that at
tach to growing crop during the months
of July and August are almost too great
to warrant aggressive bull action where
the near months are concerned, while on
the other hand the distant positions are
so heavily discounted that the bears pre-
fer to hold aloof and await develop
ments. After slight fluctuations the close
showed net gains of points on August
4 on September, on October and points
each on the other months.
