0. D. Pierce 0 Co.,s Cotton Letter.

tBy Private Wlre From C. w. Lee & Co
 NEW YORK. Aug. i7.-without exception the low point of the cotton market for the last month or five weeks has been reached some time between Monday morning and half an hour after the weekly report on Tuesday. Then an advance takes place during the lat ter part of the week, after which prices again get back most of the advance by the time the report comes out Tuesday noon. It appears to be ali cut and dried and yet operators move around in an aimless sort of fashion without very much conviction. This morning Decem- Der cotton broke sharply to 967. Last week e.6l was the low point and the week before the market got down to 9.55. The loss took place tso quickly today that any one having cotton would hardly have been able to sell it above e73. After the decline September was supported and a recovery took place In the general list. It seemed to be a foregone conclusion that tomorrow's report would be favorable one and for this reason the market aid not receive very much support except of the same compulsory nature that has been a feature for time. Reports from the South are SO favorable that it seems useless to com nent upon them. It would really provide food for discussion if some section would only complain. It gets to be a very tame affair without some kicking from some quarter Of the belt. Every has been looking Tor complaints and up to the present time they either do not exist are unimportant. The decline of about 10 points in Liverpool old crop positions was not favorable develop ment from the bull standpoint. It may be the first sign of weakness on the part of the pool For the present we would not buy cotton.

DOWNWARD TENDENCY
COTTON MARKET OPENED EASY
 WITH SMALL DECLINE.
Market Showed Downward tendency September Leading in Decline, Lower Cables and Excellent
 Weather Responsible.

NEW YORK. Aug. l7-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of 496 points and aside from two or three unimportant reac- tions displayed a general downward tendency with September leading the decline. The initial iosses were due to the lower cables and continued excellent weather which, in connec- tion with the absence of important clique sup port. caused uneasiness among the smaller longs, while the bears were also emboldened to offer more freely. September was the most active month and came in for considerable pressure. Opening at l0.T5 It was sold down to io.56 and closed at Io.59. August also showed considerable weakness. particularly in the late trading. After opening at l225. 1t sold at i4 and closed at si2.lo bid, a net loss of 26 points. At the lowest level of the day the list as a whole showed net losses of from to 26 points and while just before the close one or two months were rallied point or two making the final tone steady. prices showed net loss for the day of 6626 points. The declines in Liverpool were attributed to selling of the near months in that market by the clique. though 1t was also said to be due to expectations Of shipments from the New York market to that market in the near fu- ture. Port receipts were $50 bales, against 2. e63 bales last year and did not include any new crop of cotton, the lateness of which. In moving Is having some Influence in restrain ing sales. The total transaction in today s market were estimated at 75,ooo bales.

CHICAGO, Aug. I7.-Free liquidation char acterized operations on the Board of Trade to- day and prices in both grains and provisions were lower. September wheat closing ih@l% visions from i2h6i5 to 22hc lower.
 Extreme weakness prevailed in the wheat pit and the market sold off sharply. Every thing was against the market and lower prices ruled from the start. September being h0%c lower at 02%662M. The early bear factors were the lower cables and the excellent har- vesting weather in the Northwest which re- suited in a big decline at Minneapolis which in turn affected prices here. There was sell ing for the short account early and a good many stop loss orders were reached on the de- cline which added to the depression and before the selling had ceased September had sold on to 92h. The market rallied slightly on a moderate support later but again turned weak toward the close and September closed at about the bottom at 62hqe2k, q net loss of IH@i%c.
