10000 bales at an advance of 10 English points
 Under the influence of improved cables and fears of an unfavorable weekly bureau report, our market opened at advance of from to l5 points. offerings were well absorbed by recent shorts accepting profits and at the bureau hour a material advance had been recorded. The report. when read. indicated Q somewhat less favorable con dition than anticipated Texas was prom inently poor and the indicated curtailment of the crop in that State on account of weevtl damage Is very large. Elsewhere the deterioration seems to have been quite general, but 1t is not shown to be in excess of normal The principal complaints are from rust and shedding. while scarcity of labor. black rot. drouth and insect dana ge are mentioned from as many localities. Dur ing August. usually the month of excessive loss in condition, the crop deteriorated 7Ia per cent and almost an equal amount could be lost in September without exceeding the average setback experienced by the five other crops which have resulted in the largest yields. Prices have been influenced recently by factors which could not be con- trolled by legitimate conditions and knowl- edge of the41a-er has been of little value o basis for opinions. As the weight of the movement becomes apparent. the readi- ness with which spots absorbed will. with the character of the picking season. be of the greatest importance for proper conclusions.

Virgin & Faunce's Cotton Letter. (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labares


 NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Thc cotton market opened easier owing to the lower Liverpool cables but immediately strengthened the covering of shorts and active hull support by Wall Street operators. Philadelphia spot houses were heavy buyers of December and January. and prominent Wall Street house took large blocks of October It was evil dent that the Government report of Friday last was fully discounted and 1t also realized that the conditions would have to remain perfect to insure the large crop which the Government report figured. As this is the period of rain. unreasonable tenn peratures and bad weather must do damage to the crop, while the clear weather would only help toI secure the yield estimated by condition of S4 per cent. Therefore 1t is evident that everything Is in favor of re- duced yield, while exceedingly fine condi- tions must exist to bring the crop up to the 12,50G,00O bales basis. We are incl ned to favor the long side of cotton in face of these conditions and are advising purchases of cotton at present prices and on all recess sions which may occur for some time While a profit may be made the short side. 1t is dangerous and We believe the long side the safest

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
OPENING ABOUT WHAT WAS DUE ON
 THE CABLES.
Weekly Crop Report Proves About Bull ish as Was Looked For, but Gains
 Are Nearly All Lost

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.--The cotton market reopened after the .holidays firm in tone with September points lower and other po- sitions unchanged to points higher. This was about due on the cables which, hay ing shown a decline as a result of the bu- reau of last Friday of about IS to 22 points. rallied this morning and by the hour Of the local opening were about as expected on the New York close of last Friday. In ad- dition to this steajiness the trade was eevi- dently looking for a buliish weekly report . at midday. and there were also reports of rains in Texas that were said to be dam- aging the crop and delaying the movement. At any rate the first tendency here was to cover shorts and the market during the morning ruled firm and higher. reaching net advance of about 24 to 2S points. There seemed very little cotton for sale as prices worked upwards. People with bearfsh views selling level as a result of the bureau week ly report This proved about as bullish as looked for indicating quite general de- terioration m the crops condition. But 1t proved the signal for more general selling and 1t became apparent that the ad- vance of Che morning had fully discounted the bullishness of the report. from which, nf course it impossible to say whether the crop had lost more than would be consid- cred normal at this season of the year Prices in the afternoon ruled generally weak Lower Wall Street was credited with selling very heavily and there was no sign of anything resembling bull support. The market in the late trading lost all its early advance and while just before the close there was slight rally on covering by room shorts. the market left off at net gain Of only to points. The closing was steady Sales were estimated at 60G.000 bales. The reactionary tendency in the English market was attributed to more active spot demand at the decline. The . mornings weather map. on the whole. was fairly satisfactory and receipts for the day wore heavy, but increased movement Is , regarded as no more than natural at this tiine and the fact remains that available supplies still very low.
