 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. is.-As early Liver pool advices were about expected, our mar ket opened 2 points higher on Septembe- and unchanged to 1 point lower on the other months. Subsequently the later easiness in Liverpool and the continuance of generally h. yo-able weather throughout the South ocea- sioned an additional break of points on Sep tenlber and 2dA on the late- positions About this time the circulation of reports from Texas claiming that the boil weevils were spreading and causing damage were instru- mental in bringing in fresh buying and estab- iishing an sdvanceaof 56 points from the bottom. When the demand subsided values again eased of, making the closing points lower on August. unchanged on September,
 point lower on October and about unchanged on the other options. Heavy rains occurred along the South Atlantic coast and showers were reported over the eastern and southern portions of the belt It Is predicted that gen erally fair weather will prevail tonight and Thursday over the valley and western Gulf States. except that showers will probably oc- cur over Southeast Louisiana. There fig no dis position to sell cotton, which is due to the fact that manipulation has firmly helds the near months, and that the majority of traders be- lieve that spinners will be free buyers of new cotton owing to tho strong statistical position and the iateness of the crop TEis very optiin-

MARKET DECLINED
SMALL FALL OFF DUE TO REAL
 ZINC SALES.
There was Little Demand at the Start from Any Source-August was Comparatively Neg
 lected,

NEW YORK, Aug. Ie-The cotton market opened steady at decline of points on Au- gust and September while the later positions were i@2 points higher. The declines in the near months were due to realizing. while the later months were sustained by the steady cables and continued talk of too much rain in the belt and, damage by boil weevil. At the start, however, there was little demand from any source. weather reports aside from further rain in certain sections. were favorable and later cables from tho English market showed a declining tendency abroad This brought about realizing by recent buyers and at the end of the first few minutes September showed net loss of 6 points with the later positions lf2 points lower. August was comparatively dull and neglected during the entire session. selling as low as 2.25 and as high as 2, 30. ciosing at f2.26. At or around Io.67 for September. however. the clique became more aggressive and their support started covering by the room contingent. which continued dur ing the balance of the session and held values about steady. There were occasional reactions during the afternon and the close was little of the best of the day. The market was prin- cipally dull. net I6 points higher to points lower, with August. eptember and November 3 points lower. October points lower, De- cember unchanged and the last three options point higher to 1 lower. Two thousand bales Of cotton were received here from Liverpool and by a curious coincidence 2.20o bales were shipped from here to that market. New York spot sales were e25 bales, all to spipners. Ghles of futures estimated at 75,00o bales.

4. ,. Barter . Co.'S cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, Aug. Io.-The weather in the South is far from what 1t should be. The consequence that we are now witnessing a change in sentiment as regards the crop pros poets. Twelve days of August stiil remain, during which we may and probably shall witt ness a setback to the crop unless the present August proves an exception after a long se- ries of baclkness developed during August. It will be remembered furthermore that last year the month went back to 64 per cent. condi- tion after showing a July condition of 92. The effect of a setback this year when the crop Is so late may be imagined and we may witness a good deal of buying in all directions If the crop does not do much better the next four weeks. Opening sales were generally a point or two better It was rather too cool in the Southwest and there was too much moisture in the Atlantic States. Sellers were keeping in the background. Cables were dull at un- changed prices to points advance. Manches- ter was quiet, bu tsteady for yarns and cloths. But little new cotton was received and the iport receipts were but 100, against 43oo last year. Showers were forecasted for sec tions in Texas.

istic opinion has prevailed all through the season and still exists. Therefore the specu- lattye short interest is small and favorable feature will be eagerly grasped by operators to further enhance prices. In the meanwhile textile trade. conditions are not encouraging and the spot demand is nominal. However. irrespective of all features as long as bulIish sentiment is uppermost and the near months are steady, we think well of buying the late months on all decided declines with view of taking profits on spurts. We suggest. though, CTS of spots should take advantage of present prices to sell against their cotton and that it also affords the best opportunity for selling against arrivals Of new cotton in September.
