Notwithstanding such influences, prices
steadily forged upward, until bears be-
gan to see 10c coming and a number
of them tried TO cover at the same
time October sold as high as $3.50,
and while the market closes practical
ly at the top, with August "A points
up, September and October 20, and
later month Is to Is higher. Gwath-
mey bought 5000 to 10000 =, bales of
winter months to-day. The striking
feature of the situation is that in spite
of heavy movements. there is no cot
ton for sale for the simple reason that
every bale now coming out has already
been engaged in advance. This con-
dition promises to continue for some
weeks to come. leaving the short in
terest meanwhile at the mercy of the
bulls should any infaVorable crop con-
dition develop. The Japanese assault
on fortress of Port Arthur has con-
tinued throughout the day without
abatement in it's fury, and latest ac-
counts say that one of the inner works
have been captured. If the fortress
falls, it will be a strong bull card. as
the return of peace, which it should
foreshadow, will be signal for the
opening of an enormous trade with
the Orient.

HAYWARD, WICK & co.'s
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

YORK
New York. Aug. 22.-In spite of
nearly ideal weather over Sunday and
the larger receipts the market this
morning has shown steadiness, large
ly as a result of the bulish Liverpool
advices, and the persistent support of
local bulls, whose operations, together
with the reports of a better trade de-
mand from Manchester, seem to have
had a restricting effect on offerings.
The South sold a little. probably about
as much as Liverpool bought, but the
main business has been local and pro-
fessional. After opening two to five
points higher on the cables the market
worked a little higher, and slid off
on the big estimate for tomorrow at
Houston, but rallied promptly, and in
the early afternoon was about to II
points higher. showing a pretty steady
tone.
With good weather it seems quite
sure that the movement will soon be
on a scale that ought to stimulate sell
ing by those who have been waiting
for large receipts.
On the other hand people who have
sold expecting receipts to break the
market will probably cover.
For the immediate future, therefore,
the prospects favor a continued irreg-
ular and quiet market. We hardly
think the market can stand good
weather and large receipts if con-
tinued for another few days.

WARE & LELAND
Say Advance Was Made in Face OF
Benrish Conditions.

New York. Aug. 22.-There was an
other advance in the market to-day,
and this in the face of the largest
receipts thus far and a fine weather
map. Houston tomorrow will get
5000 bales as against bales last year.
Then. too, there was no rain i'm the
Southwest or in the Eastern belt to
speak of. In fact. the weather map
was ideal and yet for some reason
the market opened higher and kept
going. January was i'm demand above
9.S0c all day, and for some reason
there was not so much cotton for sale
as was expected. The demand from
shorts kept up all day, and tone re-
manned firm. Heretofore after every
rise above $500. the market has
broken back without getting over 9 .35c
or 9 30. There was no reason TO
think that the situation was
different enough to warrant traders i'm
buying for over 10c on this advance.

ment. operate against a bull market.

much short selling, many waiting for
