 but of course it is gaining over the past week or two. Nevertheless it will have to gain materially before any impression
 is made on the market, Before long 1t is calculated that spinners will be en- tering the market with good deal of freedom. The question will then be if the avidity to buy may not be such as to offset any avalanche of receipts at the time and even if they display no great eagerness 1t will yet be a question wheth- CT prices will not be maintained until the movement reaches a normal total from week to week. The market har- dened after the opening and prices moved up at noon in all directions. more es- pecially for September. Selling was de- ferred by small movement only 700 bales being estimated for the day at the ports as against 16,000 ~last year.

LOCAL MARKETS.

No changes in cotton are reported for yesterday. Stocks and bonds continue steady with no change in the quotations.
 Dry salt meats are inclined to be ac- tive in the staple groceries market. Dry salted ribs are selling for s11c; extra clears are SEC.
 Compound lard snowdrift is quoted at 71zc per pound.
 Oranges are selling for .s4 to $4.50 per box on Morris avenue. Lemons are in de- mand at s3.5O per box for choice, and fancy are quoted at S4. Pears continue abundant at s2.25 per barrel. This refers to the Keller variety. California pears are very scarce just at present. and no shipments are arriving. New apples are fairly plentiful. but the fruit is not es- pecially fine and does not seem to com mand a very ready sale. Bananas are a dead issue in the produce market Sales are hard to negotiate. and the fruit hangs rottng from the rafters.
 Potatoes of both varieties are in abund- ance but the prices are holding steady with no appreciable change in the situa- ton
 There is nothing new in the poultry division, and eggs are, steady.

MARKET IS VERY ACTIVE

New York, August 31 .--lhe cotton mar lket opened firm l point higher on Au- gust to 19 points lower under the dis" appointing cables and heavy realizing. Almost immediately, however, the clique came progressively to the support or values, particularly September, ana brought about recovery of from one to eight points above last Saturdays finals. On the advance fresh selling or ders came in and prices were sent ir- regularly downward until within a few points of the opening they were again rallied vigorously by the clique, who ap- peared determined to bid September up to level more in accordance with ob- taining spot quotations.
 Around midday the failure of small brokerage firm was announced with some buying of September presumably Tor their account, and for time the mar ket ruled active and excited with prices reaching the best point of the session. September sold at Il 80; October, l0.S2; December, 10. 45; January, 10 fl; the gem eral list being from to 90 points high er At this level the realizing became heavier and prices again reached to about 10.69 for September Then followed a period of irregularity but just before the close values were again forced up and the market was finally firm, net to 27 points higher.
 Sales were estimated at 100000 bales, representing one of the most active mar kets of the season. The lower cables were attributed to recount of the stock in Liverpool making it some 1900 bales heavier than expected. The first private crop estimate of the season was also issued placing the probable crop at 1O,- 300 900 bales. This estimate was compiled by former prominent bull leader and at tracted considerable attention, being one of the factors in the opening weakness. The. weather map for the day was con sidered generally favorable, though tenn peratures in some sections were rather low and led to apprehensions regarding the weekly report tomorrow which may have had some influence in promoting coverings.

cothraa & Co.'S Cotton Letter.


 By c. ". Lee X Co.
 New York, August 3l The day was a repetition of Saturday. Mr Brown came into the pit early in the day and heest- ed September far as he wanted. and as soon as he left MT. Sully came in and took a turn at October, and then just before noon, the New Orleans operator injected a little more steam into the mar. ket by bidding for 10,00o and 20.000 of September, boosting the price to 1162 All this while 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 distant positions advanced. Trading was not active bu. came in waves. The only time the mar ket was active was when the tradess mentioned above were busy. As seon as they stopped buying everything quiet cd down and became dull It seems hard ly possible that conditions are going to be the same month from now as at present. Two men stand in the pit and buy cotton. tanning up quotations 3, 8, and 10 points a a time. simply because there is no cotton left oyer Now it is beyond the range of human probabilities that the market Is going to be the same affair when the producer is trying to sell what is promised to be the largest crcp ever held. New crop is now being put up because September is advanced and September is advanced because there is no cotton to deliver outside of New York. While all this is going on the market is being inflated in very dan geEous fashion, though nothing will change the present condition unless we can get big port receipts. In the mean time we can hardly advise trading in the New York future market
