Bearish Report from
Bureau.

Anticipate Bearish Report from
New York, July 18.-Cotton futures
in the local market to-day opened
with a weak tone, first prices being %
to 2S points lower for the old crop
months and to points lower on
the new crop. The first prices brought
out great deal of covering for the ac-
count of shorts and the demand from
this source was sufficient to cause a
recovery. The market as the day wore
on had a narrow range and the
houses with Southern connections
bought on a fair scale Wire houses
also had buying orders. Sentiment
gererally was rather bearishly in
clined in consequence of the favorable
average of the crop reports coming to
hand. There was some selling on the
report that the private report of a
prominent authority put the condition
at IS. The receipts were small and the
statistics as a whole attracted but lit
tie attention. However, it was fig
ured from the private advices from
the belt that the early movement of
new cotton would be larger than gem
orally supposed. rapid progress hav-
ing been made in the last week or two.
1t is expected that the government
weekly report tomorrow will be bear
ish, although it is evident that in
sects have done considerable damage
in the Southwest.

Say Short side Is Advisable Mt the
Present Time.

Present Time.
New York, July 1S-October ran up
to $50 very easily to-day, though all
factors seemed against the market,
few are willing to buy and all are will
ing to sell. But the fact that the price
holds in spite of the selling tends to
prevent a number of them hammering
the market Crop news is of the best
and as long rs weather is so good no
one need look for much of an advance.
But it hardly seems as though the
short side was the side just at the mo-
ment. Whenever prices break, there is
cotton wanted and the market creeps
back again. Below 91a cents there is d
good demand for cotton. Better than
the selling. AS long as this keeps up,
there is no reason to be short As
soon as crop news is so good that
prices wont hold, it will be time to be
short. This is a bad time of the year
to anticipate. We have seen so many
bad turns in August that we don't
want to sell before we see what the
weather is going to be. Any unfavor-
able turn now. would make trouble.

DEMERE a HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.


York.
New York, July 1S-The first prices
in Liverpool were well up to our clos
ing Saturday. but heavy selling from
America started a decline which did
not terminate until all the advance
had been wiped out and a substantial
loss was established. The reason for
the raid was a report by a local crop
authority that conditions had inn
proved something like per cent with
i'm the past thiTty-days which was ac-
cepted as an indication that the bu-
reau report due August 3 would show
something like the same condition
again, which would mean a condition
of 81 per cent, a figure which has
been reached only twice within the
past twenty years, viz: 1894 and 1898,
both of which seasons finished bumper
yield. The rally which followed al
though 1T was not of great extent,
was remarkable in the face of many
influences working for lower prices.
Covering on a considerable scale took
place when II was discovered that be-
low nine and a half cents the market
showed a decided resistance. A con-
siderable element heretofore bearish on
market has recently covered and gone
long on theory that from now on crop
reports must show steady deteriora-
ton from the ideal conditions lately
so general. In this connection II is
noticeable that reports of weevil dam
age are becoming more numerous,
while II is predicted that with con-
tinuation Of present hot weather there
will be no universal complaints of
shedding. The overwhelming short in
terests makes a change for the worse
in crop prospects a strong factor for
higher prices, IL only temporary.

The cotton market was Influenced
yesterday by number of consider
atoms, some of them of a conflicting
nature. 1t was generally conceded that
the Weather Bureaus report which
will be made to-day will show that the
crop is in nearly perfect condition and
that, as a consequence there is a con-
tinued outlook for a bumper crop.
1t is believed, however, in some quar-
ters that the bottom has about been
reached, and it is further reported that
some interests that have been on the
short side have now taken the long end
on the belief that any change in the
condition of the crop must of necessity
be to its disadvantage and that there
fore the market will go up.
In the local market little business is
being done. Spots continue at unchang-
ed quotations. The sales yesterday
were fourteen bales. The receipts
were II bales and the exports, 6. In
the f. o. b. market some business is be-
ing done on a basis of 1112c for good
middling, though the greater part of
the sales now are for fall delivery and
are on the nominal basis of 95kc
