Virgin 6 Faunce's Cotton Letter.
 IBy Private Wire.

NEW YORK. Aug. is.-Cotton futures in the local market today opened steady in tone with first prices points lower to 2 points higher. The news from the English market was better than looked for and shorts were nervous, being quite inclined to reduce their commitments. However irregularity developed subsequently, in consequence of realizing in certain options, the selling in some instances being traceable to erstwhile strong bull inter- ests, who 1t was believed were quietly getting out of their long cotton. September was sold quite freely in this connection apparently and eventually the general list sympathized,
 though at safe distance. The general trade continued nervous throughout the day despite the buying of September and October cotton for the account of bear interests. There was some talk Of excessive rainfall in some por- tions of the belt, and this brought out good ment also quite builish. The New Orleans and Houston receipts combined today were only 50 bales while for the same day last year over g. 500 bales were received at these points.

Q. \. Pierce 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

" tf3y Private Wire From c. w. Lee & COL
 NEW, YORK, Aug, ie.--The cotton market moves in direct opposition to news from the cotton belt. The more convincing fine crop accounts and the prospect of n good yield be- come. the less disposed prices appear to de- eiipe. October advanced to 10 cents again to- day and looked more like strengthening fur ther than declining. One reason for this is said to be the rather extensive short interest existing in some of the new crop positions. As the crop has progressed from week to week without deterioration and with general im- provemnnt, more and more short cotton has been put upon the market. We do not claim that this selling has been heavy, but 1t has been rather persistent and scattered and in the volume sufficient to have important bearing on the future should any outward factor appear. We do not believe that any individual has sold heavily, as this would be not a business like operation in August. An his chances selling 100 or 200 bales of cotton and the market has not declined In fact each recession has failed 10 reach as low a point the previous decline. This Is gen erafly indicative of strong market and firm position. While there is nothing in the situation to induce anyone to buy cotton for. m advance in prices long as weather condi- lions continue favorable there are thousand and one arguments against shorting cotton under conditions previling this season. Until one of these two things happen we cannot but reifefate what you must be very tired of hear ing--that we would only buy cotton on reces- slons and would be content with small profits.

 NEW ORLEANS. Aug, Ie,-The strenuous search for positive foreign news information was strongly apparent by the numerous crop accounts from private sources in evidence throughout today's session. The reports con fict viz. from south and the lower central counties of Texas damage by bon weevil. north Mississippi boil worms and too much rain, Alabama and Georgia caterplllars and too much rain. Arkansas cut worms. while from cthe~ sections the condition outside of sateness could hardly be improved upon. The gloomy report issued by the Georgia Depart ment of Agriculture stating that the reports to the department indicate a crop of l,ooo.o 900 and consequent shortage of 300. 900 bales as compared with the previous season. attracted considerable attention. The preponderancc of the days information in favor of the long side. although nothing emerges clearly except that it Is not an opportune time for the short seller to ply his vocation with any degree of confidence or alacrity. The situation remains highly speculative with the possibilities of price, the closing of mills the dullness of speculation, the large accumulation of spots in few hands operating against and the late crop no security of adequate yield, the fear that Au-ust and September may be well controlled and the heavy discounts in favor of cotton and tends to timIdity the part of either persuasion. As frequently stated in these letters. we are friendly to the staple and considering the critical position of raw sunplies and the dearth of manufactured goods as continuation of the damage by insects and of boil weevil. will result in enhancing values
