70 come several points lower, but IN

doubtedly due to conditions in the
southwest, where the combination CT
boil Weevil and hot dry weather has
been too much for the crop. We re-
gard this news from Liverpool as
worthy of a great deal of cOnSidera-
ton. 1t looks like a substantial de-
cline may be expected in the govern
be forgotten that the crop has gone
backward rapidly since the 25th of
last month and any figures given by
Washington must be accepted with
this in view. 1t is said that Sully is
now talking 100000 bales as the
coming cotton crop. The last crop
was within a few thousand bales of
his estimate last year, and what he
says is likely to receive attention. We
do not care to be short of cotton. New
York spots quiet, unchanged; sales 325
bales, middling uplands 1850; mid
ding gulf 11.75. Port receipts for to-
day were estimated at $4,000 bales
against 5,934 bales last week, and
117S bales last year

New York, Sept. Cotton showed

day The market opened firm at an
advance of $ TO Il points which was
hardly so much as due on the show
ing made by Liverpool. where prices
affected by decreasing crop estimates
in improved demand for spot cotton,
and covering by recent sellers ac-
eording to private cables. were fully
25 to 80 American points higher than
due on tho local close of the previous
day. a good demand was attracted
by this showing and soma of yester-
days sellers were evidently nervous
enough to cover. but there was a con-
tinuance Of the pressure noted dur
ing Wednesdays trading and after
some irregularity the market sold off
until the gain had been reduced to a
matter of or 6 points ON the more
active months. But everything con-
sidered the market absorbed the Of
ferings surprisingly well and just
around midday rallied on renewal
of bull support and some outside buy
ing attributed to the influence of a
bulliSh crop estimate by the leader of
last winters bull campaign predict
ing a crop of only 100000 bales.
This was not taken very seriously
by local trade but there was much
apprehension as to the probable show
ing OF tomOrroW'S report and the
smaller shorts at any rate are not
over confident of a large CROP so
that the market responded to the in
creased demand in advancing to about
the opening figures. But the buying
soon "petered out and the market
meeting with continued liquidation by
bulls who wanted TO dispose of their
holdings before tho bureau worked
back again, and in the late trading
was quiet and easy at about the
lowest prices OF the day. The close
was steady at net advance OF to

Sales were estimated at 100000
bales According to private cables the
report of a local newspaper showing
the September condition to be ia
per cent. or a deterioration of per
cent from the figures Of the same au-
thOrity last month was one of the
factors in advancing prices in that
market. Here this same report was
taken rather bearishly as forecasting
government report of around "a
per cent. The market toward the
close seemed to be getting about az
well evened up as it could be prior
to the report. although it was be-
lieved that a good sized Southern
short interest formed on the preceding
day was still standing.
