Caldwell & Wards Market Letter.

BY II. & B. Beer.
New Orleans, August 4-The signifi-
canoe of yesterdays government crop con-
dition report was fully appreciated by
Liverpool today but the lack of protec-
ton In the way of small stocks at all
speculative centers had the same infu-
ence upon the English market as was
noticeable in America yesterday and to-
day Crop promises are acknowledged to
be of the most brilliant kind but since
the supply on hand In the different flu
ture markets is so small, even much less
than one year ago, when the trade was
confronted with a famine, all ports of
holding but about 100000 bales compared
with 216.175 last year, operators remain
indisposed to follow the decline until re-
lief is provided in the shape of arrivals
of new crop cotton In quantities sufficient
to satisfy all requirements which might
be exacted on contracts. OF the total
stock at all ports holds but 5000 against
49, $40 last year, New York about 10000,
compared with 1884, 4. Had the growing
crop been a late possibilities of manipu
lation would have been unlimited. The
worlds visible supply of cotton of Amer
lean growth is about 10000 smaller than
what 1t was this time twelve months ago,
but there are visions of a future sup
ply far greater than what requirements
of the world are likely to be except at
much lower prices. Therefore, traders
and the public in general are not so near
sighted as to overlook this proposition
and being without such support manipu-
lators of the staple can only hope for
something to turn up in the way of UNI
favorable crop accounts to help their
cause. A spinners demand would natur-
ally assist in relieving the market of what
pressure which might be brought to bear
on values in the very near future. 1t is
doubtful. however IL consumers take
large supplies In face of prospects for
fairly crop. Nevertheless shorts have not
won the day by any means as yet and
while sentiment remains bearish the mar
ket will respond to any unfavorahe de-
velopment effecting the present prospects
of the growing crop. There is strong COM
bination In New York awaiting such de-
velopments and they will take advantage
of any change in conditions for the
worse on the least provocation and to that
end are lending their undivided attention
