Baxter a Col Cotton Letter.

New York August a.--The clique bought some TOGO August today and thls attracted q good deal of attention, There waA hoth- Ing of special importance In the crop or weather news, except claims of plenty of work by weevil In Texas, Ono Texas town whero 400 bales were received last August, expects only 10 bales this August The same story comes from all quarters. No old cotton on hand and no signs of new cotton moving before September md it is question how much will be moving then. There is not euoush hrllliancy about the new crop to dispel fears of a possi. ble set back later in the season. Some Arkansas reports are very discouraging. Dun's weekly report was quite bearish and referred to good prospects generally, excepting for Mississippi. Cables were steady at one to three points decline. Manchester is doing little business. Some German reports are better as to the trade outlook. Spinners are keeping out of the market as heretofore, and nothing will bring them in but plenty of new cotton or a big crop scare, when they will be glad to buy at any price A bullish chronicle report Is possible tomorrow.

Cothrar & Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 


 New Orleans, August 21.-Cotton fluctua- tions today were not of sufficient frequen- cy to even permit of the scalping opera tions that are usually in evidence, until within the last hour when there was some activity, and there is very little to say concerning the session, as the information that came to hand was quite on the same lines as on the previous days of the week. worm and weevil damage reports as against fine crop accounts. It is perfectly clear, however, that even though the cot ton market is fearfully dull, 1t is also won derfully steady.
 The ideal weather conditions prevailing throughout the belt as shown by the goy- ernment weather map. assisted by the glowing conditions issued by R. G. Dun & Co. failed to make the slightest impress sion. Secretary Kings in sight figures show for the week 5971 bales, against 56' 9S0 a year ago; for the season 1O,T7AS5S, against 10. 653,125 a year ago. Sentiment seems to be slowly pointing towards the bull side. The weevil reports will not down and Secretary Wilson's statement that the loss to the Texas crop last season through this source is estimated to have been 500,00O bales proves that reliable re- ports concerning the insect are not to be treated lightly. All around the market looks to be in a condition to do better and as the season is here when insect life is usually most active, we look for multi plicaton of damage reports, in which event prices will ascend to higher levels.

LOCAL MARKETS.

No changes are reported in stocks and bonds and the cotton market Is very quiet just at present. Although cotton is beginning to come to market from various parts of the state the season has not yet opened in Birmingham.
 Staple groceries are steady. No devel- opments of special interest have taken place in this market for a number of weeks. All prices are holding steady. with the exception Af dry salt meats and lard.
 Green apples were in evidence along Morris avenue yesterday. The fruit came in baskets and was not particularly edi- ble New apples are selling for $l.25 to $2 per barrel. Bananas are proving a tough proposition Sales are sluggish and the fruit is spelling rapidly on the hands of the dealers. Lines are good sellers, but quotations for this fruit hold steady. The local market is we'll sup piled with California fruit of all varieties. Pears and plums are fine. but command a fancy price. Peaches are fair sellers at $1 ,50 to g for the Georgia variety and $1.25 per 20-pound box for the California.
 Vegetables are very quiet. Cabbage and Irish potatoes are the only lines

AUGUST COURSE A FEATURE

New York, August H.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of two noints on september Q decline of four points on August, and unchanged to two points on the later positions, The feature of the early session was the course or August Notices estimated at 6OOo bales were said to be circulating, and there was considerable selling of that position at the start.
 The month opened at 1920. sold up to 12.25 then declined to 1215 only to rally and sell back to 1920, after which it again declined to 1216 and Was finally quoted at 1925. or one point under the close of the previous night.
 The balance of the list ruled very quiet most of the forenoon and fluctuations were narrow. The weather map reflected generally favorable climatic conditions but there was further reports of damage fom boil weevil In Texas and this' In con- nection with steady cables, restrlcteu sales, while on any symptom or decllhe the clique supported values more or less vigorously and toward the close their buying became more aggressive with Sep tember in particularly good demand. That position which had sold at 1O.72 was forced up on this demand and covering to lOSS' closing at that figure while October touched 1905 and December 9.S5. The list closed firm. five to, sixteen points higher on the new crop months and net one point lower on August. Sales were estimated at 150,O00 bales.
 The larger sales of spot cotton had some influence in the late market. some S9OS bales being reported sold to spinners with the market steady at unchanged prices.
