As Decem- Der and October here approached the 9h cent mark, however 1t was apparent that very large buying orders were in the market, especially for October. but ns soon as the liquidation of long cotton exhausted itself prices slowly but stead fly improved until the closing shows loss on the day of only to points. Appre- hension over the weekly report tomor- row caused ya good many shorts to take profits. On several previous occasions when the market suffered as 1t has re- gently done a good decline. tne rally has been sharp and like recovery would not be at all surprising in view of the proba- bility that a good deal of damage from worms and weevils in Texas and proba- bly, considerable complaints of excessive rains in other sections may be leading features of the report tomorrow. For the first time in weeks the weather map promises to be clear tomorrow with the exception of showers in western Texas and the mountain districts of Carolina and Georgia, where little or no cotton is raised Houston receipts tomorrow will be between 2400 and 2700 all new. Market looks like scalping one with the chances in favor of the bears Liverpool Is due to come to higher tomorrow.

 Days Trading.
TRUNK LINES ARE AC1lVt

New York, August 15.-The creeping movement of prices which was the char aeteristic of the present weeks stock market developed into a strong and com prehensive upward movement today The volume of transactions rose above the previous total of any during the present movement. The movement was broad and the strength active, were well distributed, practically all divisions of the market sharing in the advance.
 There was much selling to take profits during the day and constant reactions, consequent Of the matter of digesting the profit taking which was more con vincing as to the health of the market than the upward rush of prices itself, which has been under suspicion of manip- ulation and due to the skillful tact of professional operators. This suspension has been effective and keeping the gener' al put of the trading in the dread that the professional operators would prove impossible of successful completion and vou.- lead to a collapse when the period 10 take profits arrived.
 There were no important developments in the news today or since the close of the market last week. but the early tone gave convincing evidence of something like specialization of confidence in the future of the market. Outside orders through commission houses accumulated over Sunday, were alleged to be larger than heretofore. London was also a buy CT here to an important extent.

That cap-. ital was said to draw an augury of hastened peace in the far east as a con sequence of the serious reverses to the Russian naval forces, the basis of the growth of confidence here was quite clear ly the faith that the country is to enjoy prosperous crops. The corn and cotton carriers showed the greatest effects from this faith, but St. Paul, as wheat car rer with a large spring wheat traffic. was not excluded.
 The question of the amount of spring wheat damage was admitted to be un- determinable as yet but the high price promised for the crop was offered as pro- vidng an offset for the shortness of the crop.
 The most conspicuous feature of the market, however, was it's diversion into the new feeling of the trunk lines and coalers. These groups have been com paratively neglected, while the crops have been of dominant interest Good pros poets in the steel trade advanced Penn sylvania at times. but the movement of these stocks today seemed more to be based on assumptions of the good to come from the crops to the whole coun- try United States Steel preferred was the conspicuous laggard in the days movement This was presumably due to the current rumors of a purpose to cut prices on finished products with hostile Intent towards the independent com

NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER

New York, August 15.-The cotton mar ket opened weak at decline of 8 to [ points in response to lower cables than expected, better crop and weather ad- vices, and larger new crop receipts.
 Sentiment had a very bearish average at first and the market showed fair &C., tivity with the south, New Orleans and Wall street selling. There was consider able profit taking by shorts on the de- cline, but with the early figures show ing a larger movement in the southwest ern points; prices continued to work low CT until they showed net loss of about 10 to Il points on the new cropmonths.
 At this level offerings became lighter and the decline was checked by continued profit taking while some of the early sell CTS were unsettled by reports of a better trade demand with advices from Manehes- ter, mentioning much better business with China and India. Some little buy ing for long account appeared to be en- couraged by reports of this character and in the afternoon the market slowly worked back to about or little over the OptuilS figures.

LeIshman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Cotton opened weaker in response with lower cables from abroad and the favor able weather existing throughout the cot ton belt December was especially weak and sold down Il points from the opening shortly after the first few minutes of trading before support was received
 The weather throughout the belt con- tinues favorable, and as a stron5 condi- ton exists, the plant will make rapid progress, and a week of clear weather would do much to repair the damage which resulted from the showery condi- tlons last week Everything in the situa- tion at present warrants lower prices, and Is hardly one of which a higher range of prices could be based unless 1t be sudden crop scare. There Is no danger from this source as long as the weather remains as It is We are in favor of sell ing cotton at present prices on all bulges and feel confident that cotton will sell on S1kc basis before october l.
 At any rate the local market cannot ad- vance as long as good weather exists, and the dry goods demand continues poor, and we can see nothing ahead to alarm short sellers
 The money will all be made on the short side from now on.

this condition and no further incentive was required to induce some fresh sell ing at the low levels profit taking by shorts was again in evidence and for the time being further reeessions in values were checked and an upward tendency noted
 Receipts of new cotton at Galveston and Houston aggregated about 37oO bales and estimates for the latter point for tomorrow are from 2400 to 270o bales.
 Crop reports from Texas note an im- proyement in the northern and northwest ernl section and attributes, as result of recent showers and light rains, more un- favorable conditions over the balance of the state, weevil and worm damage hay ing increased in the known infected dis triots with complaints of worm injury from numerous additional counties.
 From all other seetoins of the belt, only encouraging news from the fields was received.
 The weekly bureau reports of tomorrow will be of special interest as giving the general state of the crop about up to the time of changes in the weather regarded as beneficial, although the report will probably show some rust and shedding, 1t Is not expected that mare than nor nal deteriorations exist.

 It is more than likely that further batch of crop damage reports on spring wheat will be sent in, but we do not think 1t wise or prudent to follow ad- vances on the strength of them; in fact, we believe sales should be made on hard spots.

The Metropolitan Fractions were fever ish and irregular throughout the day in spite of the violent advance of interbor- ough transit on the curb. The unsettling influence f-these exceptions to the days strength gained force and the amount Of selling for profits also diminished the disposition of the professionals to support the market This made the closing easy at reductions running to a point for the active stocks from the high price of the day.
