c. E. Pierce & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

tBy Private Wire From c. ". Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. Aug. i2.-There was really no change in the character of news going South In the course of prices in the general feel ing in cotton circles. News could not be bet ter, but the simple fact of the matter Is every body is afraid. With supplies of cotton in control of what little cotton there is left very few have the courage to sell short This oper- ates against any drain in the market, but on the other hand there is enough buying to bring about much of an advance. Spinners buy enough each day to absorb quietly the Of ferings going South and a result the mar ket fails to move one way or the other. Of course, the farther the season advances and the nearer we get to the new crop the heavier grows the weight of cotton offered by produc- els In time this will inevitably have it's ef- feet on crop news. Crop accounts are beyond reach. Never did history of the country have such crop been doing as well at this season of the year; every one Is looking to the con- sumption and no one appears to pay much at- tention to the probable supply. Under the cir cum5tarces we cannot but recommend very cautious attitude in the market at the present time and we would only buy on good breaks and would not expect much of an advance.

Chicago Grain and Prov;sions.


 CHICAGO. Aug I2.-A firm undertone per- vaded the grain pits today and September wheat closed kGac higher; September corn %c up and oats Sc up, with provisions of from 7k to l0c.
 Trading fin wheat was fairly active and the general sentiment inclined to the bull side under the influences of continued light receipts and . better cash and export demand. The opening was somewhat irregular, the dis tant deliveries being steady to hrm while September was. easier as c result of lower cables. September was of t to M@kc at the start at 79%@79% to 79X. selling up early to soh@eo&. The advance was due mainly to the active demand for December and May with but little on the market. On the ad- vances there was realizing in all months. but the feature was the heavy liquidation of sep- tember. which resulted in that month declin- ing to 7eh. Notwithstanding the large amount thrown on the market the declines were enly temporary, reactions occurring whenever the selling ceased. The strength in corn was Q help in advancing prices late and caused a firm close. September being up h@esc at eoN 6SoN. Clearances equaled l76.20O bushels. Receipts. IF cars. I6 contract. Minneapolis and Duluth reported lo4 cars. a total for the three points of 22l. against 20l last week and 4e5 year ago.
 The sentiment in the corn pit was decidedly bullish on the cold weather throughout the corn section. snow being reported at Omaha There was big trade but offerings were sur prisingiy light even at the advance. Cables were higher, receipts small while the cash demand showed considerable improvement. Shorts were active buyers throughout the day. The close at about the top, September being Nc higher at 62h. after selling be- tween 52h@S2k and 53. Receipts, lA cars. l6 contract.
 There was only a moderate trade in oats, but prices were firm throughout the day due partly to the strength fin corn and paYtly to the lack of offerings. Crop news was bullish and there was an improvement in the cash demand. After selling between 34h and 34tsc, September closed Sc higher at 34%. Receipts, l7e cars.
 A liberal run of hogs and easier prices caused lower provisions. Trading was extremely quiet and the market showed little huctuation. Sep tember pork closed 7h@toc lower at SIS 27k: September lard was of 7M at g and ribs were down I0c at S7.02h.

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. I2.-Liverpool was decidedly good at the opening. Private cables attributed the strength of near months to short covering in those positions. Spinners view with anxiety the decrease of available stock market. Winter months, however did not fully sustain the prevailing differences and of delay to the growing crop will be to pro- duce any decided strength in the more dis tant deliveries The hurricane now lowering over the Gulf and Atlantic States. a wet map, and the strength of September are the features responsible for todays advance Port re- cespts 2o5 against l.95I last year. of which ESP bales were new crop, and arrivals of new cotton at interchange towns this day last year. Memphis l. Augusta |, Houston l,I5o, against none at these points today. was seized upon with avidity as backing the bureau state ment regarding the delayed date at which picking would be general. Operators interested in enhancement of values were reported to be free buyers of September. Winter positions will no doubt sympathize with any advance, but respond more readily to weather condi- tons. In the dry goods market the financial situation possibilities of tight money in the future are contributing causes to the eon- servatsm of buyers, yet the condition of trade in general, 1t Is believed, will more than off, set these influences and the curtaiIment now in progress prevent any accumulation of man ufactured stocks in first hands The present buying by it's urgent character for immediate shipment only mean depleted shelf goods Collections are not entirely satisfactory and few discounting. A more cheerful feeling, how eveT remains.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter.
 rBy prfvata vvareI


 NEW YORK, Aug. i2.-cotton futures in tne local market today opened flrmer in tone with first prices at an advance of 3aII points. The English market news was better than looked for and as a result of uneasiness among bea1fsh interests there was good buying and further gains were established as the day wore on. September and October cotton attracted the bulk of attention and there was fresh talk of clique support On the better levels, however, there was quite a line of selling for profits by longs of recent crea- tion. and in some instances a reactionary tsu- dency was uunite conspicuous. The move- ment continued small. The port receipts for the week were estimated at I5oO bai.s against l,47i last week and Il,4Io last year The reports through private sources from various sections of Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas told of excellent crop prospects and estimates pointed to heavy yields in prospect There was only moderate demand for spot cotton. but such development in view of the high prices was taken confirmation of the view that there is to be but little curtailment of consumption. On the close the general speculative feeling was somewhat mixed, with professional contingent largely in control of the general situation

New York Drv Goods.

NEW YORK. Aug. I2.-In dry goods busi- ness with jobbers continues to go on actively with large number of buyers arriving in town each day. While this activity has not been reflected at first hands, buyers continue to be inslstent in the purchases they make upon immediate delivery. The continued and in- creasing curtailment of production makes the possibility of promising such deliveries less and |ess bright.

 NEW YORK, Aug l2.-Liverpooi showed a me rise when New York opened today In that market shorts were uneasy and were cov- ering at lively rate. hurricane of the West Indies was soaring local shorts also, although there was no sign of it's moving into the Gulf States The weather map was fair with the exception of . few light rains. Mail advices as to the crop were very good but this does not appear to weaken the market in the slightest degree. Cotton is beginning to move. but still is SO late on the whole that nobody Is prepared to sell. The early market was higher, especially for September which opened at | points advance. Sellers were scarce There was continued fndisposItion to prevent the market advancing until new cot ton is moving pretty freely and it seems to be questionable how far the market can be de- pressed even then until the period for killing frost has been safely passed. Scalpers were doing more or less business today. Conti- mental buying in Liverpool helped that market. Most brilliant crop reports were coming in from Texas. Liverpool was quiet at 2@iI ad- vance, and the Manchester advices were con- siderably better for cloths and yarns.
