Raxter 6 co.,s eraIn Letter.

Chicago. August 3.-There was a quiet steady market in wheat. prices improving some during the morning, led by the northwest. Minneapolis and Duluth were particularly strong, and there was a good many unfavorable northwestern reports and more had Manitoba reports. English markets were closed. The Continent was higher. The weather was somewhat un- settled again but foreign houses were moderate sellers. There were small re- ceipts of winter wheat at principal win- ter wheat points, only little more than half of last year Some quite favorable reports were received regarding the yield in Oklahoma. In corn there was a moder- ately active market. Prices showed some heaviness after a steady opening, owing to somewhat more favorable weather con- ditions, while there were reports of more liberal country acceptances and of sell ing by elevator interests. There was a quiet trade in oats with prices showing a big increase for the week. Provisions were quiet all the morning with small change in price. The grain markets were weak and lower in the afternoon, closing at about the lowest.

cothran 6 co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, August 3.-Liverpool will tomorrow attract more than usual inter- est as that market has been closed since Friday and cables are expected to re- fleet the English opinion of the week end statistics and the agricultural bureau crop conditions report published today No especial tendency in either direction was to be observed In our market during the early hours. prices fluctuating within narrow range. The government bureau condition of 97.7 as compared with I'll last month and S1.9 last year about met general expectations, the advance record d immediately thereafter being due to short covering. The public remain re- solutely out of the market while room traders, as a rule, are bearish and take advantage of every opportunity to de- press prices. The situation remains highly speculative; August is the critical month and especially so this season.
 The Times-Democrat sums up the situ- ation in the statement that this crop Is one of great possibilities though very late and therefore peculiarly sensitive to frost In other words to secure the large yield urgently required all conditions

heneeforth must be favorable. With a movement probably three weeks late and spinners' stocks the smallest In years. even though the statistical position on September 1 may be less bullish than re- gently anticipated, we believe present prices for fall and winter months fully justified. and we believe conservative marketing on the part of the producer will result in higher prices.
 We fear the short side and prefer pur- chases on good breaks.

Ne4 Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August 3.-Spot cotton continues very firm at full prices. Sales 700 bales; delivered on contracts, 300. Quotations unchanged. The future mar ket was very quiet up to Il o'clock when bullish monthly bureau report on con- ditions put some life in the ring. At the opening the new crop positions were to points above Saturdays closing, but soon thereafter declined until prices were slightly below Saturdays level. The report of 797 against I'll last month and S.19 last year was a surprise It lm- mediately threw the ring into a furry. and for a while caused heavy trading. Those who had sold short in expectation of bearish report covered as quickly as possible, and in doing so forced prices up on themselves. The report itself did not have any effect on prices, for as soon as the covering was over there was a recession. It was the general opinion that the report had been discounted by the high prices prevailing The closing was quiet. with August net 10 points higher.

New Orleans Bull Leader Did
 Not Manipulate Cotton
THE MARKET RULES QUIET
While Somewhat Irregular a sasalng Tendency Is Displayed From Ex- peeted Bearish Report-The
 Close Was Steady.

New York. August S.-The cotton mar ' ket opened steady at an advance of 1G5 points on covering in anticipation of a bullsh monthly bureau report. which was also stimulated by the presence on the floor of the New Orleans bull leader and expectation of a bull demonstration later which was not, however, forthcoming. Owing to the continued holiday at Liver pool there were no advices from that center to influence the early trading and while the exports from New Orleans, amounting to some 1900 bales reported after the close on Saturday. had a bull fish effect on sentiment, the generally favorable weather operated against prices and after showing at the best prices on the call an advance of 345 points, the market eased off in the absence of sup porting orders.
 Just previous to the reading of the bu- reau report at midday, a net decline was apparent of from to 15 points with Au- gust leading the decline under notices which were out to the amount of some 600 to 800 bales, which were not promptly taken care of. When the report of the government was read, showing an im- provement for the month of 2.6 per cent and a condition of 79.7, 1t proved slight ly below expectations and prices at once improved from to points. The report did not stimulate activity, however, and during the balance of the session the market ruled very quiet and while some what irregular, displayed a sagging ten deney in accordance with predictions for a bearish weekly bureau tomorrow. The close was steady, net point higher to 5 points lower. Sales were estimated at 40.- 900 bales.
