Cotton Letter.

Raleigh, N. c., July 20.-There was
no change noticeable in the market
'ouay, Just the same steady, resisting
uHueftone and the same steady buy
ing OF cotton by those who regard
discretion as the better part of valor.
II the market wont go down under
perfect conditions why, it's likely to
go up with any change. Thus far
there is no change in sight Weather
Is simply perfect but will it continue.
II you will turn back to 1898, one of
me two record years you will find
the condition went off 2 points in
August. We always get damage talk
In August. 1t may not be SO this
year but it always has been in the
past. Now it's an open question
whether with the market SO heavily
short prices can be kept down when
the crop reports become less glowing
1T may be, of course, that new cottor
will move so freely that prices will
not hold But as yet there are M
signs of this. Rather the tone seeml
to get stronger as the month pro-
crosses. Here October ran up to 9.6H
on Saturday, to 9.61 on Monday. t.
1853 yesterday and to 9.64 today,
This does not look like a declining
market 1t shows shorts are more or
less uneasy. We can't advise short
selling when the crop has only now
reached the critical period.
