Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

New Orleans, September 13.-Contrary to expectations today's weekly government crop review was less unfavorable than expected generally. A very poor report
 was looked for. and in anticipation of such a bulletin December contracts ad- vanced from 9.SS yesterday to 10. 25 today,
 but upon publication of same a reaction set in carrying December back to 10. .06. Crop accounts of late, however, are not all good except from sections east of the Mis- sissppi river, many now claiming that Texas will not make any more cottton this year than she produced last season de- spite the increase in acreage and all ef- forts to raise a large crop. The Tall crop, of which so much was expected to help make up for the shortage of the first growth, is now reported to be in a very serious condition, and weevils and worms
 feeding on all new squares and blooms that the plant has put on. Woeful ac- counts are being sent in by Mississippi al- so. experienced parties claiming that the state will not make as much cotton this season as it did last. In fact there are those who are looking for an October crop condition report in the neighborhood of last years-65.1, Texas being placed at oS, compared with 5A one year ago. In ad- dition to these unfavorable crop accounts traders were brought face to face with a weather map indications increasing cloudi- ness, cool weather in all sections in the belt where the crop Is open and exposed to the elements and subject to serious damage in grade and loss of lint in event of heavy rains developing. There was but little moisture noted in the south to- day, except scattered showers south and southwest Texas but 1t Is possible since cooler weather and frosts are predicted for the grain belt. that cooler weather will be accompanied by rains in event of temperature departure being anything of importance.

LeIshman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

 The cotton market opened active and strong on the more cheerful feeling abroad, apprehension regarding an unfav- orable governnen. weekly report and fears that the cold wave in Kansas would extenu into the cotton belt and cause serious damage. Philadelphia spot houses were heavy buyers of the new crop months and spinners for the first time in some weeks were good buyers of the new crop months and good buyers of the spot article
 We have repeatedly stated that in our opinion the present price of cotton was too low in proportion to existing condi- tions and we now repeat our assertion that cotton Is a purchase at present prices and on all slight reactions. While the interior movement is large, and the cotton Is well taken and the demand for cotton goods is better now than it has been for many months. With the mills again entering the market as purchasers and the demand for all classes of cotton goods improving we cannot but feel bullish on the situation and advise pur- chases

The summary, However was more definite though a Alttle difficult to compensate when its baAs. the details by states. was carefully stAdied. On it's conclusion, some aggressive selling ensued, and ma terially lower prices were observed.
