These factors were instrumental in cccasioning re- newed liquidation and caused break Of l4 6ii7 points from the top, making the net loss ea7 points on the day. The amount brought into sight during the first five days of Sep teniber was l36 900. against 65. 900 last year The 30 leading Interior towns during the week received 8l 900 against 2o0o last year The total stock of American ashore and afloat to Liverpool is a22, 900 against 272. 900 last year. The visible supply of American increased during the week this year 5000 against a loss of 58. 900 last year and the aggregate to date Is 800, 900. against 897, 900 last year. The heavy liquidation of long cotton which nus taken place since the issuance of the bureau report leaves the market in healthy condi- tion While 1t Is true the movement is heavy. yet every expected 1t to be 90 during September. conseQueN0 1t Is only which were predicted on the df6t kht existing throughout the belt and an earfv crop This. however does not make the ultimate out-turn of the crop any larger and the consensus Of opinion seems to be that the final yield will be insuf- 1cient to meet the worlds requirements With such a bureau there Is no incentive for any one to sell short speculatively. The chances are that spnners must soon enter the market Under these ei' circumstances we think well or buying on all breaks with view of realiz- ing on strong periods.

 Early cables in keeping with our break of yesterday. which was overdone false iInpres ion regarding the benefit likely to fol- low from the Texas rains of the past few days has forced out weaker holders. but the general trade Is still disposed to accept small crop views and are not discouraged by fre- quent setbacks As regards Texas, the State entomologist has personally inspected many fields and his conclusions are that the dam age cannot be easily repaired: in fact. he takes the ground that no conditions from now on as regards plentiful rains or otherwise Will insure a crop greater than 2.3OO. GOO. against q 5oO GOO the past season. Private reports to-day were generally bullish and The Chron- icle figures of the last crop were given out as 10 7oI 900. The market was see-sow after the opening. Very heavy receipts and heavy rains in Texas disconcerted weak longs, but January and March we'll supported and on the whole there was greater d'sp1sition to n,,v than to sell all the forenoon. The lead ing Wall Street operators announced their faith in higher prices. Port receipts were es- timated at 5000 bales. against e.2oo last year.
