New Orleans, August 12.-Prospects for
more favorable weather conditions in the
belt and expectations for a liberal move
ment of new crop cotton henceferth are
responsible for the loss of about 10 points
in futures today Weather during the
past "a hours remained practically UNI
changed, light and heavy scattered
showers in central and western districts
of the belt but official forecast promised
fair conditions in a number of the states.
There was less demand for contracts,
traders as a rule, changing sides in an
ticipation of dry weather. All Europe is
bearish as is the south, all relying on a
large movement the latter part of this
month and large crop to influence prices
to lower level. During the past week
Houston received 3046 bales, most of which
was new cotton, compared with 35 bales
received there the corresponding week of
one year ago. Next week Houston will
receive about 900 bales against 1853 bales
same week last year The trade is very
much concerned as to whether or not the
growing corp has been damaged material
ly and in this connection we would ap-
preciate line from our friends how pres
ent In their particular section. We have
seen reports of deterioration from Louis
lana and Mississippi claiming as much as
20 to 25 per cent damage from excessive

New York Financial Chronicle, by Prf-
vate Wire to Cothran e. Co.
New York, August photographic adj
Vices to us from the south this evening
indicate on whole of less favorable tenor.
Rain has fallen in almost all localities,
and In some districts the precipitation has
been rather excessive Interfering with
picking where the work of gathering the
crop Is in progress.
In Texas damage by boil weevil and
boil worms Is claimed and deterioration
is reported. There are also complaints of
damage by rain from portions of the gulf
and Atlantic states. and rust and she'd
ding referred to. A few correspondents,
however, report improvement In the crop.
Cotton-Liverpool is imbued with the
belief that large yields of cotton follow
August rains, and is reluctant mar
ket In sustaining PARTIES. New crop OPP
lions showed small losses at the hour OF
our opening, which were slightly in
creased at the close. Spots remained I'M
changed.
Although around our opening the tone
was steady, more inclination to sell soon
became manifest. The weather map from
the Texas line to the Atlantic offered lit
tie encouragement beyond the irregulari-
ty in the amount of precipitation, sew
eral points experiencing good rains, but
showers largely predominated. Reports
from Arkansas and the territories con-
tinues most fiattering, and the absence
of complaints from Texas other than in
sect damage, indicates that that state
has no other immediate grievance.
Receipts Of new cotton may be expected
to show a considerable Increase next
week, suitable weather for picking hav-
Ing prevailed In that part of Texas from
which the movement is earliest. The
average Of the past fourteen years shows
that the crop deteriorates about 84 per
cent during the month of August. The
loss In condition In the September re-
port of the present crop will have to
show lis per cent to equal the condition
OF the last bumper crop of 1859, at the
same period of its growth, and the pres
ent acreage is estimated about six and
three quarter million in excess OF that
year. Such facts lead to the opinion that
cotton will be In adequate supply.
Wheat.-Outside markets were weak
their being interested in September wheat
which encouraged the bears into selling
considerable towards the close with the
market acting heavy.
A number of buying orders were exc
cuted at the start and gave prices a small
swing upwards.
Offerings however, were free and grea;
deal of long wheat came out but ex-
cept for occasional rests the edge seemed
to be off the market. 1t would not be
surprising to witness sharp rallies but
we think they should be awaited Of tc
make sales on.

LeIshman 8. Co.'S Market Letter.

The cotton market opened steady this
morning on support by Philadelphia spot
houses and pit traders, with some short
covering. News was not of the kind to
influence sentiment much either way, the
weather news was conflicting, showers
being reported from Georgia and the east
ern part of the belt, while the weather
elsewhere was generally clear and condi-
lions improving.
Georgia reported that rains in the last
two days had resulted In slight damage
to the crop, but clear weather would i'm
prove things materially. Philadelphia In
terest were buyers of January, and local
houses took some September and October.
Later, however, the pit sold on the good
crop.news Some sections of Texas report
ed damage by boil weeyil, but so far the
damage had not gone rar enough to do
the plant much injury, and the news did
not have any appreciable effect upon
sentiment. The government weekly report
next week Is expected to be favorable,
and Will show the crop to be in excel
lent condition and making rapid progress
The strike situation in New England still
remains unsettled, and with no prospects
Of an early adjustment in sight. The
strike has already done great damage to
the cotton industry and with no immedi-
ate prospects of a settlement in sight,
and with the crop progressing satisfac-
tory we are inclined TO favor the short
side of cotton and advise selling at cur
rent prices.

ENTHUSIASM WAS LACKING

New York, August 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of two
points to an advance of one point or lust
about as due on the cables.
Continued light showers were reported
from the sections east of the mississippi
but on the whole the weather map was con-
sidered favorable and there ives very
little buying power In the market, which
soon after the call began to work down
and in an irregular way reached a net
decline Of about six to seven points Just
before midday on a furry of selling led
by New Orleans.
Later there was a recovery to about
the opening figures on covering by room
shorts, but the market in the middle of
the afternoon again weakened on New
Orleans selling and the operations of GER
tain local professional interests and re-
acted to about the previous low point.
The close was up a point or so from the
lowest and steady at a net decline of two
to seven points.
Sales were estimated at 5000 bales.
Receipts at the ports today 1.451 bales
against SO last week and 1879 last year.
For the week 5000 against 1911 last week
and 7.14s last year. Todays receipts at
New Orleans 279 bales against one last
year and at Houston 692 bales against
fourteen last year.
