.Leishman Q co.,s Market Letter.

New York, August 10.-in spite of the easier cables from Liverpool, good crop news and generally favorable weather, the cotton market opened strong this morning on the renewed covering of shorts. The report of too much rain in the Mississippi valley which, if continued, would probably cause some damage to the crop, was the incentive to the bull houses with Philadelphia connections who bought September and traders bought moderately of December The most of the buying, however was by belated shorts.
 Spinners have entirely withdrawn from the market on the recent bulge, as there is no inducement for them to enter the market as buyers of cotton in any auan- tity as long as the prospects of large crop is good The dry goods trade con tinues poor, and the present price of cot ton is too high in proportion to the amount of cotton In sight. Comparing this year with other years, when cotton sold on 7-cent basis with an eleven million baie crop the staple today is selling on a 9s4-cent basis with an estimated crop of over 12, 800, GOO bales In sight. It Is reason- able therefore to look for lower prices for cotton.
 We are bearish on cotton and look for considerably lower prices within the next two weeks. Advantage should be taken of the present bulge to sell cotton freely.

By II, & B. Beer.
 New Orleans August 1O.--A continuation of unsettled weather In central and east ern sections Of the cotton belt counter acted favorable impression made on Liv- erpool by yesterdays weekly crop report in stating that beneficial rains improved the condition of the crop In Texas from which state all Europe looks for supplies raw spinning material. In making of the crop however, all states are to be con sidered and as all but three-Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee-reported less favorable prospects than the week before the deterioration noted deserved more than passing notice. In Texas prospects are not near so rosy as they were two weeks ago when the government made up the average condition for the state, pup lished August 3, as weevils in the south ern and central portions or the state have become more numerous and more destructive, as have the boil worms Ill north Texas and the territories.
 Meanwhile there Is no accumulation of stocks on the contrary, exports, small as they are, are serving to make reserves figure smaller day after day, New Or- leans holding 271O6. last year 2a6l8; New York SS754 vs. 16S.5 565; all ports S422o Ns. 2O9 71S There is and will be a good m uuiry for early arrivals of the new crop exporters offering forty 10 fifty points on TOT SOOu nlluuiil5f t'ePtNaii'~t - IA delivery, of which business there IS put very little transacted to date, the country offering but sparingly; for August de- livery little or nothing. A return or lalf weather might serve to recover some or the loss in condition of the plant as re- suit of unceasng rains but If wet con dtions prevail, or If very hot weather was to set in after the rams, further damage might result on account or toe much moisture in the one case, or rom scaldlng and shedding in the other case; at hest August is critical month.

cothran e Co.'S Market Letter.

Cotton showed a slight improvement to- day. The Liverpool market offered noth- ing of interest fluctuations were confined to narrow limits, and although early prices evidenced declines in excess of expectations, a recovery before the close about adjusted the customary parties. In the net result, new crops declined to 1 points and spots lost points on sales of 5000 bales. Manchester market for clothes and yarns was dull.
 Our opening prices were influenced en- tirely by the weather, continuance of rains in the central and eastern belts was shown by the map, and although the amount of the precipitation varied con- sideraby at different points. an excess was general in that section Prevailing cloudiness and forecasts indicated that similar como e4ons would prevail tomor- row. As a result of these conditions, ini- tial transactions In new crop options were made at a moderate advance. but the ap- parent steadiness at the higher levels was of short duration, weakness following the efforts of manipulators to dispose of some long cotton and resulting in reces- sions in excess of the early gain.
 Later in the session prices recovered and a steady market was observed with trading light
 Unless crop accounts should become quite disastrous 1t will be difficult to permanently sustain advances. It is a weather market with the fewest elements of risks on the srort side.
 Wheat.--There was w<eat for sale at the start on lower Liverpool cables, com mission house offerings being quite ex- tensive with the market extremely ner- vous turning up quickly on scattered buying orders that were numerous but still meeting a steady flow of long wheat Many operators have covered up, while the cash situation attracted more atten- ,tion and caused hesitation due to the fact that this market is so much out of line with the southwest. The Northwest Miller report was discredited by many operators but the close was not strong and we are inclined to look for lower values and certainly would not favor pur- chases except on very sharp breaks.

A Fine Dining Room.

Hotel Willamette dining room for the
Thanksgiving dinner was beautiful
sight to behold-resplendant with sill
verware and cut glass-with palms,
fruits and flowers, with decorations
brought expressly for the occasion from
New York. There were two great ro-
settles of flags with the great national
bird of liberty tapping its wings, while
the bird of Thanksgiving was carved
by the guests. Beneath each picture
was a large portrait of the president
at each end of the dining hall, which is
beyond question the finest dining room
on the Pacific coast. Lanlord Conner
has maintained his reputation for fine
Thanksgiving dinenrs.

The FASTEST Cars.

A subscriber wishes to know which
of the electric cars is fastest on the
tracks in this city. Among the old cars
it is believed that No. "a, now run the
Garden Road run is the fastest, and No.
80 next. OF the new double-truck cars,
No. A holds the penant for speed. This
car came in the other night from the
fair grounds switch to The Journal Of
fee in six minutes. The run from The
Journal office to the cemetery and back
was made in IL minutes. 1t depends
some on the man at the controller and
brakes, as they are not all what might
be called fast men. Speed also depends
on whether the car is running with one
or two men, and whether he punches
transfers one at a time or not.
