DEMERE & HAMMoND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York


New York July 27.-Cotton to-day
has shown surprising strength in the
face of disturbed conditions in Europe,
which were sufficiently alarming to
cause a drop in consols. a big rise in
wheat and a demoralized stock market.
If any evidence was wanting to show
that the market is oversold. it was
certainly furnished to-day. but shorts
apparent are not worried over the dis
play of strength and are standing by
their guns. It is evident that some
considera BILE long interest exist, based
on hopes and belief that some marked
deterioration in the crop will soon show
itself. and that opportunity will be
afforded to run in some shorts. 1t is
possible, though, that should such
change come it will be found to have
been discounted just as much as the
market now shows that favorable crop
prospects have been discounted. Tho
afternoon papers state that the Brit
ish government has sent instructions
to its ambassador to Russia, protest
ing theoretically against the sinking
of steamer Knight Commander, and
demanding that the fullest reparation
shall be made by Russia, otherwise
measures will be taken to follow up
the diplomatic demand.
Port receipts are 3S.S46 bales, against
120 last year, showing that the cot
ton held back for zoe is at last COM
ing out, holders having abandoned the
idea of a corner, and wishing to get
rid of their stock before the new crop
comes on market. Local authority has
issued special statement of crop con-
ditions, which makes present Condi-
tion 81 s., indicating, according to his
calculations, a yield of 12,027931 bales,
which does include 1O6,9S6 bales of
old cotton still unsold.

T. F. JOHNSON,
The Savannah morning news., 1904-07-28

There has been an increased activity
in the f o. b. department Of the cot
ton market during the last several
days and the results are to be seen in
the increased shipments of cotton to
this port. Yesterday the receipts,
most of it intended for foreign ship
ment. We're liza bales, Fair offerings
in f. o. b. were also reported yesterday
and a fair business was done on the
basis of II cents for good middling.
Quotations on spot cotton were un-
changed and sales of but 4 bales were
reported
Despite a plentiful supply of news
all of a bearish tendency, shorts grew
nervous and as a result the futures
markets showed an upward tendency
during the greater part of the day.
and, though the tone was easier in the
late trading, they all closed at ad-
vances we'll above the closing figures
of the previous day. The heaviest
gain was at New Orleans. where July
closed at a gain of % points.
