Cotton Letter
(specal to News and Observer.

New York, Aug 3l.-The day was a
repetition of Saturday. Mr.. Brown came
into the pit early in the day and boosted
September as far as he wanted to for the
time being and as soon as he left the pit
Mr.. Sully appeared and took his turn al
October, and then just before noon the
New Orleans operator injected a little
more steam in the market by bidding for
ten thousand to twenty thousand bales oi
September, boosting the price to l1.e2
All this time December and January were
comparatively neglected, but of course the
few shorts there could not stand the
strain and when September and October
moved up the distant positions advanced
in sympathy. Trading was not active
but came In waves. The only time the
market was active was when the two
traders mentioned above were busy. II
seems hardly possible that conditions are
going to be the same month from now
as they are today. Two men stand in the
pit and buy cotton, jamming UP quota
tons two, five and ten points at time
simply because there is no cotton left
over from the crop except what one man
owns and it is still too early for the new
cotton. Now it is beyond the range o:
all human probability that the market is
going to be the same affair when the pro.

New York. Aug. 31.-The cotton mar
gust to 10 points lower under the disap-
pointing cables and heavy realizing. AL
most Immediately however the clique
came aggresslvely to the support of val
ues, particularly September and brought
about a recovery of from 1 to s points
above last Saturdays finals. On the adj
vance fresh selling orders came in and
prices were sent irregularly downward
until within a few points of the open
ing they were again rallied vigorously
by the clique who appeared determined
to bid September up to a level more In
accordance with obtaining spot quota
tlons. Around midday the failure OF a
small brokerage firm was announced with
some buying of September presumably
for their account and for time the mar
ket ruled active and excited with prices
reaching the best point of the session.
September sold at 11.S0; October at
1892; December 1045 and January 10.41.
The general list being from to 39 points
higher. At this level the realizing be-
came heavier and prices again reacted
to about 1859 for September. Then fol-
lowed a period of irregularity but just
before the close values were again forced
w and the market was finally firm net
"a q points higher. Sales were estimat-
ed at 100000 bales representing one of
the most active markets of the season.
The lower cables were attributed to a
recount of the stock in Liverpool making
it some $4,000 bales heavier than expect
ed. The first private crop estimate of
the season was also issued placing the
probable crop at 12,700,000 bales. This
estimate was compiled by former prom
lnent bull leader and attracted consider
able attention, being one of the factors
IN the opening weakness. The weather
map for the day was considered gener-
ally favorable though temperatures in
some sections were rather low and led
to apprehensions regarding the weekly
report tomorrow which may have had
some influence in promoting covering.

ducer is attempting to sell what now
promises to be une largest crop ever
grown. New prices are now being put
up because September is advanced and
September is advanced because there is
no cotton to deliver on that month out
side of New York. While all of this is
going on the market is being inflated IN
very dangerous fashion, though nothing
will change the present condition until
we can get big port receipts. In the
meantime we can hardly advise trading
in the New York future market.
