reports that came from nearly all por-

influence on the sentiment of the mar

while they also caused short selling to
increase. although some shorts were
heavy profit takers, doubtless because

York.
New York. Aug. 15--3earish senti-
ment is evidently becoming more con-
fdent though there is still a disposition
to 20 cautiously. While receipts are in
creasing they are not yet large enough
to be anything but a sentimental fac
tor and trade reports from some sec
tions are showing a slight improve
ment. Manchester it is said, is doing a
good business with China and India,
and local exporters report good de-
mand from China, better than for any
time since the war started. The
weather map to-day was favorable,
and apprehensions of serious crop de-
terioration before the frost period
have largely evaporated with the pass
ing of the rains.
The market opened in response to
ca bles about to 7 points lower, and
broke to a loss of 10 to II points.
Trading was moderately active. The
undertone of the market looks
heavy, and some local houses are pre-
dieting . cents this week
Operat lions are still too conservative
and there is too much covering around

haps. but it looks like a bear market.

tie buying for long accounts appeared
to be encouraged by reports of this
character and in the afternoon the
market slowly worked back TO about
or a little over the opening figures. 1t
closed steady at a decline of 3m6
points. Sales were estimated at 10O.-
600 bales
Private crop accounts were general
~ favorable. Houston receipts of 3,
290 for the day were all new crop. and
port receipts of a little over 2,20O bales
contained over 1.400 bales of new crop,
including two at Mobile and two at Sa-
Vannah, while the Houston estimate
for tomorrow called for 2,400 to 1900
bales, against 103 last year.

Daily Cotton Letter From New
York.
New York, Aug. 15.-Weather experts
who predicted clearing weather were
pretty good prophets. There was a per-
feet map yesterday and again to-day.
One could have asked for no better.
AS a result there was some large SELL
ing orders executed in the local market
and prices went down rather easily at
one time. But around 91a cents the
market seemd to strike some sort of a
snag, just as it has on each break here
tofore and it went no further before
steadying. II is true the market did not
rebound as 1t generally does, so that a
4 or 5-point advance was all buyers
al bottom could get out of purchases.
Still the price did not break open and
there was lot of cotton wanted. The
South did a great deal of the buying
to-day. There was so much cotton
sold above 9& cents on the rise that the
people were contented to take accent
profit. AS there will be no great lot
of cotton i'm for time and the market
is such narrow one. ii looks very
much as though the shorts have COW
cred on a break like this will "A chance

The spot cotton market continued
easy yesterday, with sales of 20 bales
Receipts at the port were bales,
both of them being OF the new sea
island crop. One of these, that re-
ceived from Valdosta by Messrs. Canon
& Barnwell, was on exhibition at the
Cotton Exchange between 9 and IL
O'Clock. 1t weighed 377 pounds, was
of a fine grade, chasing fancy Geor-
gia, and was sold shortly after being
put on view It was bought on private
terms by a firm of exporters. The
bale was grown by Mr.. G. w. H. Pc
terson, near Lake Park, in Lowndes
county.
In the +. o. b. trading, business was
reported satisfactory. In the futures
markets there is a growing bearish
tendency due to the fine crop reports
that come from all parts of the belt,
the Improvement in weather cOndi-
tions and the fact that new cotton
is moving freely at some of the Texan
ports. The improvement in the crop
in this section is shown by report
received yesterday from Mr. l.. M.
LeHardy, who says that he has made
the trip through North Carolina and
South Carolina and that the plant is
in fine condition
