New York Cotton Futures.
cothran 6 coz Cotton Letter.
By Gilbert & Cray.

By CllDefL & cray.
 New York, August 1.-Rains of consid- erable proportions were reported in the northern section of the cotton belt west of the Mississippi river, while the Atlan- tic states had showers. The Chronicle weather reports for the week stated that correspondents generally reported an i'm provement in the crop, but rains were needed in the Carolinas. Since that rec port was made up the Carolinas have re- ceiyed fine rains of anywhere from half an inch to three inches, and the com plaints are therefore, a little antiquated. There was no Liverpool market today, and as a result the prices moved around rather languidly at the start, without any important change At the opening there was a decline of a few points and later on slight recovery There was appar- ently more interest in what the govern ment report is to show on Monday than in the course of prices. Several holders were inclined to get out of this cotton on the theory that the improvement might be greater than expected. At the same time there was short covering on the op- posite theory. Betweeh the two the mar ket did not make very much progress. It will require a condition of about 80 to bring about much of break in the mar ket, and it hardly seems possible that the government will fail to show a substan- tial improvement which will tend to pre- vent much of an advance. Somewhere about 80 the condition would compare

LOCAL MARKETS.

There was nothing doing in any of the markets yesterday. Stocks and bonds are steady and cotton Is a dead issue.
 There was brisk movement of fruit along Morris avenue but the arrivals did not cause any fluctuations in the price list. California fruit is beginning to come in now and next week the market will pre- sent a scene of more activity than for some time past. Pears, a few oranges, grapes and eantaloupes were all to be seen yesterday. The oranges are very fine but some of the pears are already begin ming to spoil on the hands of the dealers The shipments of California fruits this season will no doubt be rather heavy and wholesale men are expecting to make large sales In the Birmingham district More bananas were on sale yesterday than have been seen for several days past and there were a few apples, but they were spelling and not in very good condi- tion
 The trade in melons continues good
 All vegetables are rather quiet. Snap beans are selling at 50 to 60c for bushel hampers. Tomatoes are in fairly good de- mand. Poultry has sold well during the past week. Prices closed steady yester- day. Eggs are firm There Is nothing new in butter quotations.
 The staple groceries market Is quiet and all prices are steady.

PRICE MOVEMENT
 IS VERY IRREGULAR
Dealing in Stocks Small and Trading is Very indifferent
SELLING OF ROCK ISLAND
Move Was Induced By Criticism or Proposed Refundine Bond Issue. Peoples Gas Rises sPOint.
 Bonds Sympathetic.

New York, Aug. 1.-Dealings in stocks were so small that the tone of the trad Ing was so indifferent today that little significance could be attached to the movement of prices, which was very mar row and sluggish except in a few indi- vidual stocks influenced by special causes There was selling of Rock 1s- land induced by the criticisms of the proposed refunding bond issue. Peoples Gas rose more than a point on the de- elaration of the regular quarterly divi- dedd. There was gain of a point in Mexican Central on rumors of the taking over offa large block by private agree ment. North American had the benefit of the purchase by prominent banking house of the holdings of one or more of the firms which failed last week. The market was almost wholly made up on such scattered movements. The decls- ion insfavor of the Northern Securities company of the suit brought against 1t by the state of Minnesota caused a four point jump in that stock on the curb, but the response in the general market was barely perceptfble: The increase in loans reported by the bank statement was of more effect, as much had been made by the speculative element of supposed heavy contraction to be shown.
 It is evident that the repayment of the Pennsylvania notes which was expected to reduce the loan account of the banks had been made in part to the trust companies. The call for payment of So-- 000,000 on the International Mercantile Marine underwriting. and of S35O0,OOO on the Louisville and Nashville bond under writing had to be provided for. Bank CTS also report that there is growing up a large reasonable demand for mer- cantlle credits. It is intimated further more, that there has been very large liquidations of loans to trust companies during the week, The weeks stock mar ket liquidation has been admittedly very heavy, and the above reasons are ad- vaneed to explain why the liquidation is not reflected in the loan item of the as- sociated banks. 1t must be remembered also that liquidation involves buying as well as selling and some of the banks have been taking up stocks for their cus- toners at what they consider advanta- geous prices. The selling on the bank statement was not pursued and the mar ket steadied and closed lifeless.
 The bond market showed irregularity and the usual active issues moved ir- regularly in sympathy with stocks. Amongst dormant investment issues with preceding transactions dating some time back transfers were effected only at wide Concessions.
 5U. S. 3's have declined and the old Is one-half per cent during the week.

Raxter 2. Co., Cotton Letter.

New York, August 1.--In the Fort Smith district there was heavy rain today and more or less in other districts, but in no Instances heavy. The Chronicle report was of no special significance. while Bradstreet and Dun published better crop accounts than heretofore. The lat ter's Houston correspondent took the ground that the boil weevil danger might become a serious factor if rain did not cease. The Liverpool market today was closed and on this account New York business was on a small scale. The trade is awaiting with no little anxiety the bu- reau report of Monday, showing the con- dition of the crop up to the 26th. If 1t should show a condition not over 80 the market may do better although there Is a feeling here and there that the crop is possibly doing better than supposed Nevertheless. prices from September on are so very low compared to the present that 1t will take a very little scare to advance them materially. The market was two to seven points lower at the opening Less interest was shown than for a long while. Changes after the open ing were unimportant with total business of a holiday character. Port receipts were estimated at two hundred and fifty bales. against twenty-eight hundred bales last year.

 The fuklre market was dull and all features apparently conspred to rob the ring of interest. The Liverpool market was closed today, being a holiday there; the local bull leaders had disappeared rumors having it that they had gone to New York. All traders were disposed 10 wait for the government report on condl- lions before operating In any direcuoh' and the outside public was letting the market severely alone. At the opening August was 2S points down ana the other positions from 1 to 4 points lower. The market was very steady throughout the short session and the trading light. The list at the close showed net losses of 2S points on August and to points on the other positions.
