Cotton Letter

New York, August 1.-Mr. Sully ar
rived from Europe this morning, and IS
very bullish on new crop options.
Messrs. A. Norden & Co, estimate the
condition of cotton on July 21tn, based on
replies from 473 correspondents, at SO.S1.
Rains OF considerable proportions were
reported in the Northern section of the
cotton belt west Of the river. while the
Atlantic States had showers. The Chron-
icle weather report for the week stated
that correspondence generally reported an
Improvement IN the crop, but that rams
were needed in the Cardinals. Since that
report was made up, however. the Caro-
iinas have received fine rains, Of any
wheer from u to l inch and the
complaint is therefore a little a%ntiquat-
ed. There was no Liverpool market today,
and as a result prices moved around
rather aimleesly at the start, without any
important change. At the opening there
was a decline of a few points, and later
on q slight There was appar-
emily more interest in what the govern
| ment report is to show on next Monday
at noon than in the course Of prices.
Several holders were inclined to get out
Of their cotton on the theory that the
Improvement might be greater than ex-
pected. At the same time there was short
covering on the opposite theory. Be
tween the two the market did not make
very much progress. 1t will require a con
dItion of bOve so to bring about much
Of a break in the market, and it hardly
seems possible that the government report
will fail to show a substantial improve
ment, which Will tend to prevent much Of
an advance. Somewhere about so the con
dition would compare very favorably with
| last year, and above that with the condition
two years. Recent rains have so bene
fitted the crop that it IS doubtful wheth-
err the outlook for the last three seasons
at this time could compare with the pres

long-feIt want in Clarksburg and there
has been plea after plea for a place of
this kind. Recognizing the fact that
such a resort was badly needed, the pro-
moters OF the park invested their means,
ut considerable risk, and diligently de-
voted their attention to the making OF
park. of which the community may
well be proud. From the moment the
park was opened to the public the man
agement determined to preserve order
and maintain it as a place of respecta-
bility. This has been quite successfully
done so far, but, Notwithstanding these
facts, there is a disposition in some quar-
tiers to be hostile to the park and al
ready efforts have been made to OPP
pose features which would be not only
advantageous to the park, but to the
people of Clarlsburg as well. a pro-
posed feature in particular which has
been Pigeon-holed by this opposition
would have been of much benefit to the
people of this community, and it is re-
gretted tGIat any personal luminosity or
selfish interest should have thwarted its
naturalization. This feature was ad.
vanced by some of the good people of
Clarksburg, but others identified and as
sociated with these manifested an anti
pathy toward such an excellent move
ment. prompted no doubt by prejudice
and disposition to give the park and
the street car system black eye, which
has so far prevented naturalization OF
the movement. The good people of
Cfarksburg. or at least number pro-
Tossing to be, are not giving the park
the hearty support naturally expected,
Especially do some of them strenuously
oppose the efforts of the management
to make and keep it a highly respecta-
BILE resort. This is shown by their OPP
position to get features there that are
recognized as elevating. 1t is to be hop
Cd for the good of the community that
this opposition viii not result in keeping
respectable features from the park. The
GOOD people should be hearty in their
support of all efforts by the manage
ment to maintain and add to the re.
spcctnbility of the resort, so that the
management, in order to prevent great
financial loss to itself, will not be forced
to abandon its determination to have
| strictly respectable place.
