Cotton Letter,

C. w. Lee & Co. S Cotton Letter to Goth
ran & Co.
New York, July $50 say the least,
the course of prices today was a surpris-
ing one, the government report last week
found October selling at 100 Since the re-
port was made up some damage was
done in Georgia. Reported last Tues
day and today. the report was anything
but brilliant. Severe deterioration was
reported in many sections as a result of
high temperatures. The temperatures are
still prevailing and its difficult to see
how cotton can be doing well under such
conditions. But following the report, the
market declined six points, before the
close October was selling at 7.s4, lower
than when the report came out last
Thursday. 1t would seem as though the
decline was hardly warranted by condi-
tons of the growing and as such is the
case we would much prefer buying cotton
on the declines than going short at the
moment. The cotton belt has undoubted-
ly had less than the normal rainfall and
more than the normal hot weather. Some
places on the Atlantic coast report los
degrees of heat. This is too much and
we will hear from 1t sooner or later.
There is little trade and on breaks
cotton should be bought.

LIVERPOOL RULED FIRM
At the End of the Day the Tone Was
Quiet, With Prices Net
Six to Ten Points

New York. July S.-The cotton market
opened steady. unchanged to points
higher. the slight improvement being in
sympathy with the firmer ruling of the
Liverpool market than anticipated. For
the balance of the forenoon trade was
light and fluctuations at best were linz
tied to nints. The influences at work
were too conflicting to permit of a strong
foothold being secured by either bulls or
bears for the moment. The South sold
here on the call and from time TO time
during the rest of the forenoon. Wall
street appeared to be selling the summer
months. At noon prices were practically
unchanged from the opening. Then came
the report from Washington. At first
reading the summary was less favorable
than expected and led to a furry of COW
ering on which prices worked up or 3
points. But the Texas detailed reports
and the reports from other states re-
ceived Immediately afterward portrayed
much better prospect for much of the
cotton country than generally antici-
pated. Active selling for both accounts
immediately set IN and for the balance of
the session the tendency was quite stead
lily downward. Liquidation of August and
some final closing out Of July longs
proved something of a feature. Trading
was feverish but far from active. On the
late decline selling for commission house
account was active at times
The n arket closed but little up from
the bottom. The tone was quiet, with

FOREIGN EXCHANGE SAGS

New York, July s.-Something like
scramble to take profits at the end of
the day served to throw some discredit
upon the character of the days movement
In stocks which had reached considerable
proportions and with a semblance of
much more substantial character than
anything in the recent course of the mar
ket. Spots of strength were more nu-
merous and the we'll established dividend
paying stocks were foremost in the trad
ing. The orders from single commission
houses and the individual blocks taken
of some of the high grade railroad stocks
fairly warranted an inference of invest
ment buying supposed to be reinvest-
ment of resources made available by the
July disbursement on the part of the in
side controlling interests in some of the
properties. Such buying was manifest
in New York Central and Chicago and
Northwestern. This probably had more
than any other thing to do with dissipat-
Ing the feeling of suspicion which has
been persistently felt towards the whole
recent upward movement. The reaction
at the close of the day revived these sus-
days buying orders which were for west
ern account kept alive the suppositon
that the western contingent were active
~ manipulating the market in connection
with the renewed pressure upon the shorts
in July corn. The special strength of
St. Paul was accompanied by revival
of old rumors of control of that property
by Union Pacific
The soft coal carriers were taken on
the demonstrated benefit they are receiv-
ing from the paralysis of the antharicte
coal traffic. This movement embraced
some of the common stocks of Morgan
roads including Southern Railway and
Erie, but the Readings and anthracite
carriers generally were almost stagnant.
A marked influence was caused upon
sentiment by the sagging of the foreign
exchange rate away from the gold ex-
port point, after tentative arrangements
had, actually been made for a shipment
on Thursday. The sterling rate at Paris
also rallied. The gold export was avert
ed by the renewed offerings of bankers
bills against sterling loans, which were
facilitated by the growing ease of the
London money market. The local trust
companies also came into this market as
lenders of many millions of dollars on
call which served as stimulating in
fluence upon speculation. The Chicago ex-
change rates continues at SOC discount
with continued pressure upon New York
for funds. United States steel lost nearly
point in the late dealings on the
postponement of the decision of the APP
peal OF the suit against the stock con-
version plan and on the beginning of a
new suit. This and the sharp break in
Colorado fuel aggravated the reaction
and the closing was easy,
Business in bonds broadened out some
what, but the market was irregular. To-

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, July 8.-Sreculation in cotton
this morning was small scale.
Steadiness at Liverpool helped sustain
local prices. and in some instances ad-
vanced a couple of points, but a hold-off
policy was being oosei we'd until more is
known as to the crop, regarding which
people as rule are quite at sea with a
growing tendency to adopt quite consery-
alive news as to the matter of brilliance
or even what may be called q very boun-
t'ful yield. The scalping element are hav-
ing things their own way until the exact
status of the crop is thor cughly under
stood, and 1t will require some time for
this. Meanwhile people are proceeding
with unusual caution and the changes in
sentiment favor the bull side. In fact, 1t
is seldom that we have reached this date
when 20 few predictions of a brilliant or
bumper crop are INDUCED. The most that
is now looked for is a good-sizcd crop,
and it is a question whether or not this
Will suffice for actual needs.
