STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 29.-No Significance
can be attached to to-day's small deal
ings in stocks by handful of profess
siona1 traders. Very few prominent
stocks covered an extreme range of as
much as point. and the market fiuc-
tuated uncertainty in the interval.
There were a few advances at the
opening which may have been due to
the contradiction of the first reports
that the United States vice consul at
Beirut had been murdered. No out
side response came to this movement,
and the traders sold the market off on
an early impression that the bank state
ment would not be as good as the fore
casts indicated. AS a consequence, the
bank statement was followed by
strength in the market, due to covering
by early short sellers. and the market
closed firm, but practically 1ifeless and
slightly higher than last night. The
banks show an increase in cash of only
$1,205.100 where a gain OF upwards of
$1,000 900 was expected and the loan
account was again expanded to the
extent Of upwards of 100000. This

The cotton futures market closed I'M

row, and very little doing on the ex-
changes. One report had it that Mr..
Brown was on the floor of the New
York Exchange buying September, and
there was reported to be a disposition
to conclude that this disclosed
the attitude of the bull clique.
Spot cotton at Savannah closed firm
with sales Of SO bales. The demand
was good. In the f. o. b. market the
demand was also good, and there were
a number of round transactions dur
ing the day. The old time life is be-
ginning to show itself on the floor Of
the Savannah Cotton Exchange, where
brokers are inquiring for cotton, and
the interior is offering literally. Basis
good middling sold anywhere from 121sc
to IL 13-16c.
The turpentine market closed firm
at $40 with all offerings taken. Bush
ness came to a close at the usual hour,
2 o'clock. Previous to this the demand
was good, however, and the offerings
were understood to be absorbed. ROs-
ms continued to be in good demand.

baxter and Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 29-There was
fine advance in the Liverpool market
to-day, and spot prices rose to pence.
Last year at this time the price was
1-32d. The weather, rain was good,
but there were still any number of poor
crop accounts at hand. Through pri-
vate sources expectation of a bulge is
pretty general. based on the manufac-
turers' situation. the need for cotton
will be keenly felt before long, no mat
ter how high the price may be, and
the belief is that the market is bound
to rise until there is enough cotton In
the hands Of mills to permit them to
feel comfortable. This applies partic-
ularly to foreign consumers, and is
there where we shall witness the great
est anxiety to secure supplies. me
coming two weeks will be very inter-
esting, and probably very exciting as
we'll. Liverpool stocks are now down
to 244,000, a loss of $4,000 for the week,

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-Secretary
Hester's statement of the worlds visi-
bic supply of cotton, issued to-day,
shows the total visible to be 1,1S0,144,

ware 6 Le1and's Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 29.-From the devel-
opment of the market it looks now as
though there was no question about the
attitude of the New Orleans pool on
September cotton in New York. Short
" before II o'clock, Mr.. Brown came
into the pit and bid September up to
11.4Sc. This is the first time he has
taken the ring into his confidence, re-
garding this month, and his action this
morning simplifies the situation consid-
erably. He had a short conversation
with Mr.. Sully on the floor shortly be-
fore he went into the pit, and with two
such important interests working in
harmony, there is little utility in at
tempting to oppose operations. The
congestion will continue until enough
new cotton comes in from the new crop
to bear weight on the market. 1t will
not be difficult matter to bring about
q crash in the market after cotton
begins to move. Marketing will be
from all parts of the cotton belt at the
same time. But until this cotton is
available, the fact that Mr.. Brown
owns the cotton in New York give
the manipulators every opportunity to
advance prices just rs far as they see
fit. Spot cotton is quoted at 12%c. On
Monday, August will be off the board.
There is usually a difference of half a
cent between the price of spot cotton
and the immediate future. Either Sep
TENDER must go up or the price of cot
ton come down. From to-day's devel-
opments it looks very much as though
the price of September would be put
up a cent or so. In a market of this
kind cent or two does not appear to
be matter of much Importance. With
the absence of August September and
October are likely to move up in SYM
patty and we may see another scare in
December and January While not dis
posed to the buying side of the market,
we certainly would not hazard the short
side until there has been another sharp
advance

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed firm with sales of
SO bales. The demand was good, and
everything points to quick buying of
the early receipts. The f, o. b. brok-
ers are getting in trim for active bus
mess, with some of them already hav-
ing effected large trades. One brok-
er said things were starting off we'll,
and he expects to do whooping bus
