New York, Aug. 2S.-The market
opened 4@10 points better. Cables were
not much of factor, the weather stu
alton was favorable for the growing
crop. The crop news was mixed, and
in the main favorable. New cotton was
appearing here and there more freely
than heretofore. The main thing now
is as TO the new cotton that will be
marketed soon, and the figures of the
September bureau report next week.
Past month figures were 70 per cent.
and last year ga. A slight loss for
the market is generally looked for, and
some Southern firms are looking for
quite big loss. 1t is also commended
that the weevil damage during the next
month will be quite serious, and for
this reason some people who want to
take the short side fear to do so. At
Galveston to-day only 55 new bales
came in, as against 1882 last year.

The past week has been character
lied by cratic price move-

ket. The market looks like it
is about to be subjected to a
spanking when the new crop comes in,
and prices are moving wildly both
ways. = - i
More interest is being shown in the
spot market, and particularly was this
so the past week. Offerings were. fair,
and in sufficient volume to indicate
that when the cotton begins to move.
the offerings, if prices remain around
the present level will be about equal
to the available supply, as there seems
10 be general satisfaction with present
prices. Savannah brokers report the
initial business coming.
The turpentine market closed firm,
and while it continued it's reactionary
tendency, which developed about the
middle of the week, exporters seemed
to generally accept to-day's prices and
took the entire offerings. Resins were
also cleaned up thoroughly at the OFF,

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed firm and unchang-
ed. Very little was. doing on the spot.
In the fob. market there is more life,
however, at the moment, and SOME
brokers report doing a hustling BUSH
ness. They say the disposition among
their customers is to sell at present
prices, so that the offerings are begin
ming to assume some volume. 1t seems
very probable that there is to be u
rush Of offerings, and that the demand
may be taxed to it's capacity. How
ever, it is reported that there is Dig
lot of cotton wanted. and that the ex-
ports for the first month of the season
promise to exceed those of any pre-
vious September for years. 1t is stated
that cotton will soon be going out with
a rush.

quotations at the close of the market

in this direction until actual cotton is
forthcoming.
The government report comes out on
next Thursday and should indicate a
much better condition of crop than at
any time during the last Ihree seasons,
and in view of the enormous increase
in acreage, there is every reason to
look for the largest crop on record. But
prospects hardly take the place of ac-
tual cotton and conservative traders
are still waiting for the beginning of
the movement before undertaking OBJ
legations on the market. We are not
favorably disposed toward the market
at this level
