sales estimated at 175,000 bales.
The effect of the larger receipts was
offset to no small extent by the heavy
exports, which for the day approx
mated 10000 bales, including nearly
10000 bales from New York, which
greatly reduced the local stocks.

receipts. and generally favorable
weather for comparative ease with
which prices advanced on limited buy
ing shows that IL is not safe even here
to be short very much cotton. This
is due to the limited stocks in New
York and the rapidity with which cot
ton is going out of the country. Port
receipts so far this month have been
30S 600 while exports have been 1856.
600 Last year the figures were 126.000
and 4. 900. This shows how rapidly cot
ton is going to Europe and how much
greater the percentage of exports is
this year than last. 1t must not be
forgotten that the prices paid at
Southern spots is 1O14c. and above the
future i'm New York are selling at
a bout the same basis. Stocks here are
only 10000 and before cotton can be
brought to New York for delivery on
contracts prices in the South must be
all the way from y cent to : cent be-
low the contract level here. As long
as this condition exists very little buy
ing viii cause sharp advances and il
is therefore safer to buy cotton on any
decline than to attempt to anticipate a
break below 10 cents, which may not
come for many weeks. Reports from
the South show that the crop has
gone back considerably of late and
this may result in a material decline
in the next figures from Washington.
American spinners are waiting devel-
opments and may begin buying at any
moment. Under these circumstances it
would seem as though the conservative
policy was to buy cotton as the mar
ket weakens. No open break is like
ly before after the frost danger period

HEYwARD, WICK & co.
Believe Irregular Market VIII Pre-
vail for the Present.

New York, Sept. 1s.-The market re-
sponded indifferently to what appeared
a rather bearish set of early influences.
Temperatures in the South were mod
Grating, cables were lower than due,
receipts increasing, and no account of
moment as to damage in the Eastern
belt from the recent storm. Miss Giles,
we understand, issued her semi-month-
~ crop report, showing the condition
to be rs per cent, against 70 per cent,
according to the report of Aug. 80. This
would mean a deterioration of about
per cent. for the half month, and fore
shadows. we should say, a little great
er than the average deterioration for
the full month of September. Even so,
the October report would show a very
favorable crop promise. as compared
with the big crop years of 1898. Until
popular ideas become more settled, we
are likely to have a continued irregular
