Especial to The Advertlser.l NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29.-In the opinion of leaders on both sides of the cotton market. the month of September will bring surprise of great importance.
 The lateness of the crop, boil weevil ravages. unfavorable weather and other influences seem to have combined to drive values higher. The following telegram has been received here from New York operator, who has just concluded a searching investigation into crop conditions, especially in Texas, where the greatest danger from boil weevel ravages lies:

e. E. Fierce 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

tby fTivate Wire From C. w. Lee e Col
 NEW YORK. Aug. 2e-From the develop ments of the market today it looks now as though there was no question about the at titude of the New Orleans pool on September cotton in New York. Shortly before o'clock MT. Brown came into the pit and bid Septem- Der up to t.4S. This is the first time he has taken the ring into his confidence regarding this month and his action this morning simpli- fes the situation considerably. He had short conversation with Sulfy oh the floor shortly be- fore he went into the pit and with two such important interests working in harmony there is little utility in attempting to oppose opera tions. The congestion will continue until enough new cotton comes in from the new crop to be e weight in the market. It will not be a difficult matter to bring about the crash in the market after cotton begins to move But until this cotton Is available the fact that Mfr. Brown owns the cotton In New York gives the manipulative opportunity to advance prices just as far as they see fit. Spot cotton quoted at l2%. On Monday August will be of the board There is usually difference of half cent between the price of spots and immediate futures Either September must go up or the price of spot cotton come down. From today's developments 1t looked very much as though the price of September would be put up cent or In a market of this kind a, cent or two does not appear to be a matter of much importance. With the advance in September, October is likely to move up and we may see another scare in December and January. While not disposed to the buying side of the market. certainly would not hazard the short side until there has been a sharp advance

DIR. CRUM's NOMINATION.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The nomination
of DIR. w. d. Crum, a colored man, to be
collector of the port of Charleston. s. c.,
was the subject of an hours hearing to-day
by the Senate committee on commerce, be-
fore which the nomination is pending. Sen
ator Tillman, Mayor Smithe, of Charleston
and Colonel j. c. Hemphill, appeared in OPP
position to confirmation. They preferred
charges to the effect that Crum had sold
out as a delegate to the Minneapolis Re-
publican convention and in support of this
charge read an affidavit in which it was
declared that he had been sent to the con-
vention as a Harrison delegate but had
shifted to the support of Blaine on the
promise of appointment to the position of
postmaster. 1t was made quite plain, how
ever. that the principal opposition was be-
cause of Crums color, and Senator Till
man admitted much. He told the COM
mittee that the people of the South did not
want their offices filled by negroes, and -
he said, $50 long as they are so filled there
will be trouble; oil and water will not
unite.
Ex-Governor p B. S. Pinchback. of Lou
isiana, and Whitefield McKinlay, formerly
of South Carolina, both colored appeared
for Dr. Crum. They declared that the
charge of selling out at Minneapolis was
unfounded. and eulogized Crum as a man of
education and character. The committee
adjourned without considering or passing
on the testimony.
