Cotton Letter

New York, Aug. 29.-From the devel-
opment OF the morning, it looks as though
there was no question about the attitude
of the New Orleans pool on September
cotton in New York. Shortly before II
O'Clock Mr. Brown came into the pit and
bid September up to 11.48. This IS the
first time he has taken the ring into his
confidence regarding this month, and his
action this morning simpllfies the situation
considerably. He had a short conversation
with Mr. Sully on the floor shortly before
he went into the pit and with two such
important interests working i'll harmony
there is little utility in attempting TO OPP
pose operations. The congestion will con
tinue until enough new cotton comes in
from the new crop to be d weight on the
market. 1t will not be a difficult matter
to bring about a crash IN the market after
cotton beg rs to move for marketing will
be from all parts Of the cotton belt at the
same time. But until this cotton is avail
able, the fact that Mr.. Brown owns the
cotton in New York gives the manipulators
every opportunity to advance prices just
a. far as they see fit. Spot cotton is
be off the board. There is usually a diff
ference of half a cen between the price
of spot cotton and the Immediate future.
Either September must go up or the price
Of spot cotton come down. From today's
developments it looks very much as
though the price OF September would be
put up a cent or so. In a market OF this
kind a cent or two does not appear to be
a matter of much Importance. With the
advance in September, October is likely to
move up in sympathy and we may see
another scare in December and January.
While not disposed to the buying side OF
the market. we certainly would not hazard
the short side until there has been another

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-Spot cotton
quiet and steady; sales so bales. Dcliv-
cred on contracts 800. Quotations I'M
changed.
In the future market bullish sentiment
continues strong. At the opening prices
were I to 10 points higher than at the
close of yesterday. The market soon after
the opening was well supplied with buy
ing orders and for Il time trade was very
active. In the trading of the morning
September advanced IL points above the
close of yesterday to HOG; October adj
vanced Is points to 1887. and December
advanced IL points to 10.10. Later in the
morning realizing became heavy and there
was also some short selling. prices prov
Ing too high for the bearlshly inclined.
These operations caused prices TO rccede
a few points, but the market closed firm,
the list showing net gains OF IS points on
September, and 8 to 10 points on the
other positions.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Aug. 29.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of 6 to 10
points and during the early session ruled
very firm and fairly active with prices
soon reaching 4 level net 5 to 10 points
upon the active months under aggressive
bull support and covering encouraged by
the higher Liverpool cables and the con
tinued slow movement. The weather map
was generally favorable again, and private
crop accounts aside from further reports
of damage as a result of boil wceyil and
other insects, were of a satisfactory aver
age; and this phase of the situation en-
couraged some realizing on the advance.
Still the market yielded only slightly, re
manning steady to firm around the higher

made it difficult to deal with. The
construction crew repaired the damage
temporarily.
