NEW ORLEANS INDIFFERENT

New York, August 26.-The cotton mar
ket opened irregular with August un-
changed and other mont.s 2 to 10 points
higher. This was a very poor response
to the sensationally higher cables, but the
weather over the south was good and the
room contingent seemed to accept the es-
innate of the condition of the crop Issued
by one OF the most prominent bulls in the
market and showing a deterioration for
the month of about Is per cent as an In
dicatlon that the interests in question
were trying to make a market to sell on.
At any rate. offerings were very heavy
and the market Immediately following the
call Influenced also by the Indifferent
opening of New Orleans anu the increas-
ing volume or receipts sagged off to a
little under the opening figures. Very
soon, however, a break of about 20 points
for August In New Orleans and an active
bull support here started renewal of
covering and prices shot up to still
higher level than that attained yesterday
showing net gains of 10 to % points with
12G13 points with September selling at
II .O3, October at 0.95. December and jan
uary at 1890. At the advance there was
very heavy liquidation.
Stop orders were so distributed that 5000
bales were sold at every point advance
by one or another room broker as Oeto-
Der went up from 1888 to 1895 and with
the south evidently disposed to sell
against prospective yields at anything
over ia cent the market soon broke
sharply During the balance of the ses-
sion 1t was very Irregular, but generally
weak 1t was reported that the big bulls
were selling and the room took the short
side, believing that the market was on
the eve of still more pronouced decline.
The south also continued to sell with
New Orleans a very active seller In the
last half hour during N,-..oh prices reached
the lowest point of the session The close
was within a point or two of the bottom
and barely steady at net decline OF
2ld31 points. Sales were estimated at
$4,000 bales. Room shorts showed a dis
position to cover toward the close.

New Orleans. August 26.-spot cotton
quiet and unchanged; sales $50 bales, In
GLIDING 80 to arrive.
Futures were unsettled at the opening
and prices were ! point higher to points
lower The market was flooded with
eablegrams from Liverpool which were
very bullish. But little news was sent
in from the country and crop killers
seemed to be resting after their hard
work of the last few days. The weather
map was again good, the greater portion
of the belt being clear. Rains were re-
ported In three OF four districts, but it
was considered that they did more good
than harm In the early half of the ses-
sion the market was devoid of those sen
sational features which have excited
speculation recently. Bears found an
item of encouragement in the fact that
H. F. Page & Co had met their ohliga-
lions In full among local brokers. Toward
noon there was sharp break In prices
on the report that the Wall street crowd
of longs were selling out In the trading
September opened 8 points down to l0.SO'
sold up to IL and finally down toslO.6i.
The market closed weak, showing net
losses OF 25 to 80 points.

cothran q. Co.'S Market Letter.

Our Geographic advices from the SCUM
are Of conflicting tenor, the weather
has been fairly satisfactory as rule DUR
ing the week but from a few portions
there are claimssef too much weevil, boil
worms. and drouth and there are COM
plants of injury from rust. shedding and
blight in sections of Arkansas, Alabama
and Florida. on the other hand advices
from other sections of Arkansas and Ala
bama, as well as from Tennessee and At
lantic districts are of a favorable char
acter Picking is progressing well In
early sections.
We have had one of the most exciting,
II not the most exciting, markets since
the Sully collapse In March.
1t will be recalled that in our letter CT
last week we pointed out the fact that a
great many western and southwestern
people had made considerable money in
wheat speculation and there were dan
gers II not actual signs of this specula-
ton working over into cotton. This Is
exactly what happened and the results
were even more sensational than any one
regarded as being within the realms of
probability at this season Of the year.
The wild advance of from s. TO 81 bale
has carried prices to pretty close to lie
a pound. 1t has resulted In considera-
BILE readjustment of the various interests
In the contract market, that Is to say,
many who were short have been forced
to cover many who were long have taken
profits, new shorts have sold cotton and
the price reached a point where holders
In the south were willing to sell for de-
livery on contract here.
All this has operated to make fiuctua-
tons rather sensational and the course
of the market decidedly cratic and irreg-
ular.
great many have been unable for the
sharp advance as their attention has been
devoted to crop conditions and they have
ignored other factors Of infinitely more
importance as price makers.
The advance has not been unexpected
by many acute observers and the situa-
ton is still rather uncertain one This
is due to the fact that there is practical
~ no cotton left over from last year and
the new crop Is available In small guam
titles only.
In other words the trader In contracts
is trading in paper cotton which has very
little to do at the moment with actual
stuff. The price of paper cotton can go
up or down a cent or two cents a pound
entirely irrespective Of the size Of the cot
ton crop.
