Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

New Orleans, September 12-After open ing a shade lower than Saturdays clos ing level, the local market advanced from 9.95 for December to 1007, the im- provement being due to liberal buying for Liverpool by a prominent Wall street operator and cold weather scare in the far northwest. Lower prices thereafter, however, were attributed to generally fair weather in the belt except in north Texas where good scattered showers oc- cured, and to easier southern spot mar kets and a liberal estimate of receipts for today and tomorrow, December falling to 9.SS, recovering part of the loss by closing at 990. At times during the ses- sion 1t was noticeable that shorts were somewhat disposed to cover, being more apprehensive of unfavorable wet weather developments than of anything else
 The fruit of the first crop is open in all sections of the cotton region and the coming of a rainy spell would be the basis of crop damage reports of pick ing being delayed and preventing market ing of the crop, which, however, is not likely to occur as long as present fair conditions prevail. The equinoxal storm has not put in its appearance as yet, but 1t is expected to materialize within the next ten days; possibly this week. Such disturbances are usually accompanied by torrential rains, and If the south, espe- eially Texas, was to be visited by such a storm, the marKet would experience 8 sharp advance General expectations are for a bullish weekly crop bulletin by the government tomorrow, general deterior- ation said to have taken place since last Monday, for which loss in condition, in- sects are said to be responsible. For the near future receipts will probably con- tlnue very heavy when compared with last years arrivals, todays receipts at all ports figuring --.yso, against l2'791 one year ago since riday; 48,547 compared with 24,539 Such deliveries indicate about 100000 bales more than last years. "In sight" for this week probably about 217,- GOO against 117,355. Trade accounts are becoming more favorable, Manchester reporting a large business doing for China. and the mills of Lowell, Mass, employing 25,000 hands, are said to have resumed operations today, and rumor has it that 1t will not be many days before the strikers at Fall River will return to the mills.
 Rumor was afloat that spot quotations would be reduced 1s to 3-16c. The local market closed steady at decline of only 1-l6c middling 10A. Sales 1250; to arrive 1850 Exports from United States since September 1 have been 127,SS3 bales; last year 13354, which no doubt accounts for easier tendency of the current month at Liverpool, which closed 12 points down, against 1 to points lower on other months

LeIshman d Co.'S Market Letter.

Cotton was quiet and practically un- changed from Saturdays close. Cover ing by shorts after the opening caused moderate strength. but on the bulge profit taking and selling by room shorts caused reaction back to the opening figures
 Trading was not active. and mostly for the professional count. A special from New England states that all mills are again starting up on full time and that the foreign orders on hand are the larg- est that have been received for some time, and sufficient to run the mills to their fullest capacity for many months to come
 There has already been a moderate 'n- quiry for spot cotton, and 1t is expected that the demand will be stimulated by the opening of the cotton mills.
 We consider cotton a splendid purchase at present figures for at least 60 point advance.

cOthran 6 co1Msrket Letter.

Cotton-This wono,,l nicking wealth CT in the south and lincreasing move ment of new cotton aplr to be too much for the market
 Traders were buying hover shorts on the break this morning@ut this was about all At times thereaemed to be no demand and a lot of con for sale This carried October down about 10 cents and even then there N nothing like the buying necessary to hothe mar ket
 Houston will get 10000 bales ts,rrow. and if this keeps on the most urkt de- mand will soon be filled. With thedge. the demand, and dry goods businesssre in rather poor shape, 1t is hard toee where the demand will come from to L. " on a speculative advance. On tll other hand, prices around 10 cents here mean 9Ac in the south and 1t will be some weeks before prices get low enough in the cotton belt to attract cotton here.
 With the stocks of 20o00 bales in New York 1t is going to be risky to sell cot ton on break like this.
 October could be boosted readily. Un- til after frost danger we look flor a l steady market and on break from here would rather risk the long side.
 Wheat-The advance in Liverpool dut u bhlhSn BONClnilcht tiSPCANf Nao S tleeted on the Minneapolis curb and fol lowed by a stiff advance at the start.
 The weather conditions in the north west also being unfavorable was bull ish factor. Shorts covered well as the. could which many outside buying orders were sent in, with the old bull erowt taking on the futures. There was in fluential selling of May by the Armou people, but all offerings were splendidl. taken, outside markets developing grea strength and there was greater rush o buying orders than has been witnesse, since the big upturn last month. Ther was certainly a large amount of buyin 1 by the big men on which they stood pat being influenced to some extent by tn damage reports as well as the stron cash markets Further advances seer likely but we doubt If they can hold an we would certainly favor accepting prof Its on long wheat.
