Cotton Letter
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer.)
New York, August 1.--Mr. Sully ar
rived from Europe this morning, and is
very bullish on new crop options.
Messrs A. Norden & Co., estimate the
condition of cotton on July 9th, based on
replies from 473 correspondents, at S0.S7.
Rains of considerable proportions were
reported in the Northern section of the
cotton belt west of the river. while the
Atlantic States had showers. The Chron-
icle weather report for the week stated
that correspondence generally reported an
Improvement in the crop, but that rains
were needed in the Cardinals. Since that
report was made up, however. the Caro-
linas have received fine rains, of any
wheer from Il to 1 inch and the
complaint is therefore a little antiquat-
ed There was no Liverpool market today,
and as result prices moved around
rather aimlessly at the start, without any
important change At the opening there
was a decline of few points, and later
on a slight recovery. There was appar-
emily more interest in what the govern
ment report is to show on next Monday
at noon than in the course of prices
Several holders were inclined to get out
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1903-08-02

of their cotton on the theory that the
improvement might be greater than ex-
pected At the same time there was short
covering on the opposite theory. Be
tween the two the market did not make
very much progress. 1t will require a CON
dition of above so to bring about mI1ch
of a break in the market. and it hardly
seems possible that the government report
will fail to show substantial improve
ment, which will tend to prevent much of
an advance. Somewhere about so the con-
dition would compare very favorably with
last year, and above that with the condition
two years. Recent rains have so bene-
fitted the crop that it is doubtful wheth-
err the outlook for the last three seasons
at this time could compare with the pres
ent promise

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, August dealings in
stocks were so small and the tone of the
trading was so Indifferent today that lit
tie significance could be attached to the
movement of prices, which was very mar
row and sluggish, except in a few indi-
vidual stocks influenced by special causes
There was selling of Rock Island induced
by the criticisms of the proposed refunding
bond issue Peoples Gas rose more than
a point on the declaration of the regular
quarterly dividend There was gain of
a point in Mexican Central ON rumors of
the taking over of large block by pri-
yate agreement. North American had the
benefit of the purchase by a prominent
banking house of the holdings of one of
the firms which failed last week. The
market was almost wholly made up Of such
scattered movements. The decision in
favor of the Northern Securities Com
pany of the suit brought against it by
the State of Minnesota caused point
hmm in the stock on the curb, but the
response i'm the general market was barely
perceptible. The increase In loans re-
ported by the bank statement was of
more effect, as much had been made by

heavy contraction to be shown. 1t Is evl-
dent that the repayment OF the Pennsyi-
vania notes whiCE was expected to reduce
the loan account of the banks, has been
made in part to the trust companies. The
call for payment of s5,O00,00O on the In
ternational Mercantile Marine underwent
ing and of So, 900 on the Louisville and
Nashville bond underwriting had to be
provided for. Bankers also report that
there is growing up a large seasonabe de-
mand for mercantile credits. 1t is init
mated. furthermore. that there has been
very large liquidation of loans 'to trust
companies during the week.
The bond market showed some breadth
IN sympathy with stocks. Amongst dor
mant investment issues with preceding
transactions dating some time back trans
