COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Aug. 23.-The cotton

ness here late yesterday, while the
news from the crop country was bet
ter so far as the weather was con-
cerned. The crop accounts, however,
continued of a pessimistic order. The
government crop map gave showers
over the central and eastern belt. and
Tor Tonight and tomorrow forecaSted
rains in all sections, except a portion
OF the western belt. The first wave of
buying carried August to S.52c, and
January to 1850. Then came a light
pfont-taking movement under which
prices eased off to last nights bids.
Thls in turn was followed by another
upward movement on fresh demand
from the shorts, who seemed to be very
uneasy and averse to going home on
the bear side and risk over-Sunday de-
velopments in the crop country, The
September shorts in particular were
uncomfortable, and bid that option UP

Hubbard Bros. & Co... Cotton Letter

New York, Aug. 23.-Our market
opened with sales of January at 794@
7.95c, and after selling at 7.92Q7 .93c,
ruled at 7.94c at II a. m. Foreign
markets do not credit the poor crop
advices which are coming to hand from
almost every section, and which lead
the trade here, to look for an unfav-
orable bureau report. They feel that
the showers which have fallen in the
Atlantic are an indication that the
hot wave has broken, and that rains
will follow the change of temperature.
Here the temper is decidedly bullish,
so many poor crop accounts are COM
ing to hand, and Texas remains with
out rain, which leads them to expect a
poor bureau report on Tuesday for the
week, and they also believe that when
the September bureau report is issued
that it will show such condition that
the spinners will take alarm over the
absence of any pressure to sell. This
opinion will not change until it rains
in Texas. The spot market was quiet,

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 23.-The interest in
to-day's stock market was rather
languid, in spite of some brisk opera
tions on the part of the speculative
pools and a substantial increase in the
surplus reserves of the banks, which
is usually made a signal for an up
ward movement of stocks.
1t did not escape the notice, however,
that the actual reserves of the banks
failed to show the expected small i'm
provement, the turn in the tide of the
sub-treasury operations having taken
up entirely the contribution to the
money market made earlier in the
week, so that the cash of the banks
was decreased some 1917, 300. The con-

Naval stores Markets-LOcaI and
TeIegraphic Markets.
The Morning News Office,
Saturday, Aug. %.
Fair activity characterized to-day's
cotton markets. The movement of the
crop is attracting most attention at
the moment, and promises to exert
the predominating influence upon the
market. Owing to the lateness of the
movement, it is expected to be in large
volume when 1t does start, and this
in turn is looked to by some of the
trade to depress values
The eagerness of exporters for cot
ton is not what it appeared to be some
days ago, and while they are buy
my, they are not doing SO regardless
of values For a time it was thought
that owing to the small stocks sup
posed to be held by spinners here and
abroad prompt supplies would be need
ed, ana Wfl1le THIS may nave been so,
current opinion now Is that spinners
have at least enough cotton to run
them awhile, and intend to await the
first soft spot before entering the mar
ket On the other hand, the bullish
element maintains that even though
exporters await the food of receipts
they will gain little, for the reason
that by delaying they will be forced
into the market simultaneously, hence
will run prices UP on themselves.
The turpentine market closed firm
at 441ac, with the demand good. Ros-
ms closed firm. The naval stores mar
kets are in good. position, with every
prospect of being maintained. AS COM
pared with last year, prices are well
up, the price of spirits on the CORE
spending day being 33%c Resins are
from 20@30c above the prevailing
prices for the corresponding time last
year. According to present prices for
the necessaries of life and the good
outlook for the crops generally 1t ap-
pears operators have prosperous time
ahead of them. Turpentine farms
may be operated at less cost, and with
prices above those for last year the
surface view is that profits are in
sight.
The wholesale markets closed steady
and in the main unchanged. Resume
of the markets as follows:
