LoIshman a co.'s cotson Letter.

New York, August so.-There has been little feature te the cotton market this week. Prices have shown tendency to harden on the ahsenae of selling pressure and oh fears that the raihs in Kansas may extend further into the cotton belt, and this together with the showers along tho Atlantic coast may do serious damage to the growing plant, which is In ten- der condition at present and highly sus- oeptible to the action of the clements There iu no doubt that tho crop hns de- terlorated considerably since the last monthly government report, but 1t always does during August and September, The normal deterioration from August l to October 1 Hs taken from tho records of the past ten years approximatee 10 per cent, Therefore the next government re- port is certain to show a considerable falling off in conditions in all the cot ton states. The question now before the trade Is how much will the next govern mont report make this deterioration.
 According to the weather condition 1t should be about 8 points. If 1t should make the deterioration less than that, it would be regarded as indicating that the crop situation and outlook is still good for record breaking crop, which is stil the general opinion of the majority of cotton trade despite the efforts of purely speculative interests to make 1t appear otherwise.
 We still favor the short side of the market and the next crop months are sale at present prices. We do not look to see them cross s%c and eventually ex- pect to see them sell on an sMc basis.

will play an important part in the year 8 prosperity of the country.
 The gravity of the situation in the steel trade Is freely connected. Price cuts al- ready authorized in that trade have of fered a basis for industrious calculation as to the direct effect on earnings of the United States steel corporation;. Be- yond that direct result Is the effect to be expected In inducing a waiting atti- tude on the part of the consumers whose indisposition to make ce..mitments on a falling market or with chance for lower prices will naturally follow from the existing situation. The purpose of the United States steel corporation to prevent profit of the Pennsylvania company from its acquisition of steel billets at reduction of $4 per ton from the associa- ton price; Is clearly idlcated and the pur- pose of the company to contest the mar ket for wire products is cvowed.
 Meantime the existence of pools and agreements for maintaining prices of other finished steel products Is felt to be menaced, with the possible exception or steel rails. The sympathetic effect on the general market, however, has been sur prisingly small. Evidence of manipulation in some cases has been rather fragrant, in fact, but the success of this manipula- ton was in itself proof of a strong under lying condition in the market which made the bears among the professionals very timid about attacking the market
 The condition of the money market of- fers a strong attraction for the pooling or stocks. The call loan rate has ranged from 1 per cent to h per cent, and there Is practically no demand foE time loans aside from the longer periods. The easing of the London money market has dimin- ished the probability of any call for gold from that quarter and shipment from Australia to San Francisco continues to be made in any event. Interior money markets show the beginning of the fall demand, and the interior exchanges are turning against New York. But with a surplus of $60, ,000,000 In New York bank vaults. the coming demand is viewed with equanimity.
 It Is expected this demand will come up to the usual volume and the high prices ruling for grain and cotton may swell the usual demand. But possible future contingencies of this sort are not of much effect in face of h per cent call money rate. Railroad earnings show a general Improvement and traffic or flcials speak hopefully of prospects. This Is strong supporting factor for stocks. Demand for bonds has not been active, but prices have been well maintained. United States 2s, registered, have ad- vanced h; the 3s, coupon, the new 4s, reg istered, and the old 4s, #; the 2s, coupon, ss. and 3s, registered, F, while the new Is. coupon, have declined # per cent on call last week.

By C. w. Lee & Co.
 Everybody was very much surprised at the sudden and rather unaccountable advance in Liverpool.
 Prices there ran up to points and in view of the quiet closing at unchanged prices in the. local market last night trad CTS were taken unawares, and yet this is just what a short can expect The situation appeals to sentimental traders as being one where 1t is strongly adyisa- ble to follow the developments from day to day and not have very decided opn- ions on anything.
 It may be the cotton crop will be mammoth one and again it may also be that cotton next spring will sell at cents pound. But this does not preclude the possibility of interesting developments In the meantime. A great many western and southwestern people who trade largely in cotton have made stacks of money in wheat.
 They have been short little in cotton looking for a decline. The market has not declined and they have greadually been covering some of their cotton. We know of several that have changed tactics and gone long. Now 1t does not take many of this kind of people to change the character of the market There has been boom in wheat and some of the speculation might easily work over into cotton.
 At any rate the market does not act

New York. August 2o.-Yesterday's proht-talxlng was In continued. evidence In today's stock market. Resistance was offered to the decline until the fears aroused by the renewed flight in the wheat market weakened the grangers and turned prices in general downward In sympathy
 United States Steel preferred was de- termlnediy supported in the carly deni- ings in spite of the further reports of un- settled conditions In that trade, Traders are suspicious of a speculative origin for some of the damaging reports of steel trade developments, and profess to detect very large uncovered short interest in Jnited States Steel preferred. These iao- tors have n deterrent effect on plans to attack the stock by short sales. Penn sylvania also was conspicuously firm, and the anthracite carriers showed good resistance under favorable influences of q reported agreement upon plan for the settlement Of the differences between miners and operators in that trade.
 violent break in Metropolitan secur- tiles, which carried Metropolitan Street Railway with 1t. gave added force to the reaction, and the late weakening of the grangers caused the whole list to give way. The leading grain carriers all lost in the neighborhood of point A fraction rally was interrupted by the further drop in the Metropolitan securities, and the closing was irregular.
 The bank statement furnished no sur prises The moderate expansion made up an important part of the increased re- ceipts but there was 8 sufficient cash in- crease to more than keep pace with the additional reserve requirements, thus adding $SS2,775 to the already abundant surplus. The total sales of bonds, par value, s1,220,000.
 The stock market this week has been irregular and at times quite weak, but reactions have been resisted and over come. and the general course of prices has ben upwards. This was in the face of some heavy selling to take profits and against the sentiment of g large part of the professional operators who have look ed constantly for a natural reaction in view of the duration and extent of the rise which went before. Some of the weeks news has offered a rather formid- able prospect to holders of securities, but this also was Ignored and offerings of stocks were steadily absorbed up to the higher level attained by prices. The news of the week has been distinctly unfavor- able to stocks, although opinions of the outlook in the field districts has not gone the extent of disastrious conditions re- ported in the grain markets ana effective in the excited speculation.
 The material reduction in the wheat crop, which has resulted in damage from rust. however. is generally admitted. Even more importance is attached to the corn crop for it's promise of an effective offset to the unpromising outlook for wheat. Foreign shortages of wheat are looked to to stimulate a large demand for corn so that a large crop of that cereal
