MEAGRE BIDDING
BY IT NOTHING WORTHY OF
 COMMENT WAS DONE.
Attention in the Financial District Centered Rather Upon the Money Market Than
 Upon the Stocks.

NEW YORK, Aug 2e.-Nothing worthy of extended comment was accomplished by to- way of distribution of securities or price changes. The volume of dealings fell an other notch towards absolute stagnation with shares. and the cases in which the price va riations reached a point were very few It was observed that the telephone calls in the excaanse and the announcer calls to members by number were extraordinarily few. which is regarded as evidence that very little business originated outside the exchange. Even the professional operators of larger calibre are going away for delayed vacations, which have been prevented heretofore by the troubled state of the market, and the smaller class of room traders have the market to themselves. It Is the complaint amongst these that when force ary' renewal of liquidation, and that they soon meet supporting orders, while If market they are unaoic to ind a satisfactor, market to realize on at any advance in prices.
 The undertone of to-day's market was heavy. that yesterdays movement was upwards, thus exhausting the limits of the small traders in tricts centered upon the money market rather than upon stocks. To-day's official admission
 that the effort of the consolidated Lake sn.
 bond issue had failed with another example
 of the extreme difficulty at present of induc- ing capital to- assume any fixed form. There
 Is continued unwiilingness to lend money on time. and rates are strongly held, although
 there is little demand for loans of this class
 
 market. But commercial paper of the highest grades finds a difficult market. There were further offerings of bankers finance bills in the foreign exchange market to-day, which caused a yielding tone in spite of harden, | ing tendency in discounts at London and Paris. Attention was attracted to the returns | of the Canadian banks for July, which show | falling of in the loans on call in the United States by these institutions of more than $i 4. o0O, 900 in twelve months, while current | loans in the United States were reduced by about S6 o00 900. This helps to explain the persistent maintenance of the loan accounts l of our own banks in face of the heavy stock market liquidation. The marked strength oi silver is also feature of the situation. to- | days rise to 56%c an ounce marking the | highest level touched since November of 9ol l It Is believed that the London dealers have oversold the market and are now covering and there is some special buying for mintagt purposes by the French government: There was profit taking in cotton, but wheat ad vanced unfavorable crop news, and corr l showed some strength.

New orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 26.-Spot cotton
 quiet. Sales 200 bales. Quotations unchang- ed; Futures at the opening were barely
 yesterdays closing. This was caused by un-
 faovrable Liverpool cables, that market showing no response to the advance in the local market yesterday. The cause of the slight depression in Liverpool futures was said to have been caused by extensive realizing on
 the part of American traders. In the trans
 action to-day September opened at .2oc, sold down to lSc, then up to 3Sc, October opened 10. 7, sold down point and then up to 10. 50; pecember opened at 9,s7 and later sold up to 10. 10. January opened at 10 and later sold up to lo.lI, March opened Ioo2 and later sold up to Io.I2. Buying orders were not so numerous as yesterday nor was bullish sentiment so keen. There was some reflection over the reported heavy fruiting of pthe cotton plant in nearly all districts as re- ported in the bureau weekly of yesterday. This served to offset the buliish influence of other portions or the report. In the opinion of the majority of traders the statistical po- sition is too strong to allow any kind of a slump and they point out that with each sue ceeding day the position Is getting stronger. Bear traders and spinners have been hoping for a movement of the Few crop, or Ut least for some indications of moevment, for a long time. In the late trading prices eased of from the highest figures of the day. the board at the close showing net losses of log points.

c. E. Pierce 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 26.-The failure of of yesterday was attributed by private cables to American selling and possibly the resist ance of operators to any further advance in the winter months had as much to do with it as anything else Manchester prospects for business continue to brighten. and the ad- vance in silver during the past few days will have a distinctly favorabl 1P effect on trade with China, and in fact, with all countries on a silver basis Lower prices ruled at the opening here in sympathy with Liverpool. and a good weather map. All offers however, were readily absorbed. and prices gradually work ed to above yesterdays close. During the lat ter half of the session an effort was made by room traders to hammer the market in hope of bringing out nervously held long cotton. but did not meet with any degree of success, as shorts took advantage of all easy periods to cover. The well authenticated demand for. and large shipments of Paris green empha- size the complaints of damage by worms which continue to multiply. The Texas sec tion of the government weather bureau has issued a map showing the district infested by the boil wecvil to cover Sl counties In that State. The pest is stated to be actively at work and doing great damage the $50, 900 reward for the discovery of positive eXter- Huinator remainG unclaimed
 First bales becoming more numerous, but nothing approaching free movement can to be restricted by the competition of interior mills for early receipts. Our private advices say that ih is freeiy b,' for first half Sep tember delivery. The Ithern farmer cer- tainly occupies the position of his life. The public continues to confne themselves to ob- August position in New York restricts free buying. Should the public come in with a rush, pronounced advance would result and we continue to advise purchases on breaks.

Fl. 6 R. Beers Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS, Aug 26-As Liverpool advices were not up to expectations, our mar ket opened to lower and shortly after de- clined to additional realzing.s Later In the session the continued dissemination of sensational reports of boil weevil damage in Texas caused fresh buying and an advance Of l3 to " from the bottom was quickly es- tabnshed. Near the close private crop ad- vices from the interior sent by reliable parties Of more faovrable tenor and caused a break changed on the day and the other months | to points lower. During the past twenty four hours showers have occurred in the southern portion of the cotton belt, but fair weather continues over the northern portion. Generally fair weather is predicted for to- night except that there will probably be showers in the northern portion of the dis trtct. Showers will probably occur Thurs day, except in Southern Texas, while con- servative operators admit that the boil weevils claim that this factor has been allowed for every year during the past five years, they think though 1t is much exaggerated and as the prospects, on the whole, for a good tent, any setback which may have material ized to the Texas crop.
 On the other hand, those who are optimis- tically inclined are of the opinion that high CT prices will rule eventually, if there is any doubt of tho growing crop not being suff- ciently large to meet the worlds requirements. As the majority of traders are bullsh, and encouraging feature will quickly cause fur ther enhancement however, for the present 1t looks as if the weather will become more apathetic it will necessitate fresh buying to maintain values.
 Nevertheless under existing conditions, we advocate purchasing the late months all decided breaks with Q view of taking profits on strong periods.

POORER CABLE NEWS
COTTON MARKET SHOWED DE.
 CLINE IN OPENING.
Market, However, Rallied Through Aggressive Clique Support. Advance Was Stimulated by
 News of Boil Weevil.

NEW YORK, Aug 26.-The cotton market opened <S.eaK at a decline of 66e points under the influence of cables that were from 3 to points poorer than expected and better weather accounts which brought about con siderable selling by those who had gone long on yesterdays advance. After declining an- other point two on the active options, how ever the market was rallied sharply by az gressive clique support and soon the shorts were again in full retreat with prices not only recovering all their early losses, but showing net gains as compared with the close of the preceding day. The advance was stimulated as the session progressed by renewed accounts of a damage as a result of bol. weevil in Texas and rather more encouraging accounts from the dry goods prices. Some attention was also attracted by the New York clear. ance, which reached 1, 006 bales, while 2, bales were reported sold to spinners. and the increasing strength of the spot situation was not without its influence on the afternoon market. At the best level of the day Septem- Der reached i.36c. October TO- 55c and De- cember 27, the list at this time showing net gains of from 1 to 10 points on the new crop options. This was well along in the af- ternoon, but shortly before the close the room turned for profits and the market ruled very irregular during the last few minutes, closing barely steady August was dull and neglected all day. selling as low as l2. 20 and as higf as 2 28 closing net unchanged at l2 2e bid Tra1ing was not active as yesterday. but a fair business was done. total sales being estimated at 6oo. 900 bales.

 from the start; closing %g%c higher for Sep steady at a small advance. September closing 1sahc higher, and December up %c. Oats higher for September and A higher for De-
 cember. Provisions were firm at yesterday s close.
 The weather here and abroad exerted con- siderable influence upon the wheat market and | this. together with strong outside markets, | created an urgent demand. There was an ab- sence of heavy selling orders, and wh.ie pro- | fit taking on the moderate advances prevented any soaring the bulish feeling Increased | throughout the session, final prices being about | the best.
