NEW YORK Aug 27.-The cotton market moved up a shade during the early session. Cables were very good and the weather was very fine. There was an advance of rain any where when the market opened. Mall reports as to the crop were very poor in some cases and very fine in others. But all of this was not looked upon as of much account at this junc- ture. The mere fact that cotton Is scarce and promises to be scarcer and without the cotton 1t counts for little how the crop looks or how the weather goes. The feeling is growing that a higher level for manufactured goods is in evitable. Some accounts talk of better crops than last year. but 1t must be remembered that the closing crop will not exceed 10. 95o.- 900 and we must have at least a million more the coming season to meet requirements. The market turned weak after the opening and 6 @io points loss shown. Cables were quiet at 265 points advance The Manchester mar ket was hardening for cloths and yarns. Re- ceipts at all ports were estimated at 4.O0o against ,oo0 last year. Galveston received but 35 new bales, against 4,So0 last year. The clique were selling more or less during the morning Texas was without much rain Of conSeduence.

A collection of diaries is not in itself equivalent to a treasury of wisdom, and in a changing world fa- miliarity with precedents may sometimes be dangerous lore.

tBy Private Wiro From c. W. Lee c Col
 NEW Y0RK. Aug. 27.-It would take a fniladeiphta lawyer to tell just what is going on in the cotton market at this time. Messrs Brown and Suily seem to be about seven- eig11ths of the whole thing and commission houses that scramble among themselves for the other, eighth are not as happy they might De. Realizing the precarious condition of the market at this time owing to the corner on one hand and absence of new cotton on the other the averEa head of a commission house looking for the best interests of his customers ia net much inclined to sell cotton short. aOn the ether hand, there Is no reasonable doubt that taking the condition of the cotton belt n& awhile there has never been a promise. for 10 large yield. The temper of the trade may Ehange at any moment owing to the move gntmk of new cotton which. when it begins will begin with a rush. and a buyer would be stranded high and dry on receding tide It ls not impossible to raise 2. ooo. 900 bales of cotton this year. In 1900 the crop was about 10 75o. 900 bales and while the position fin the Fan was exactly similar to that of the present time and October sold at I0.75, when tin cotton finally did come inthere was very disastrous decline from January to June. Prices broke 3 cents a pound. While recogniza ing all this. the large traders seemed to feel that entirely irrespective of future course of prices they have a gamblers chance to ad- vance the market on shorts and. haev seized their golden opportunity. We are in a position to know that those who have bought most heavily look for a further. advance between now and the 10th of 5eptembert We Would. therefore, wait for such an advance before go- ing short of the market.
