.LeIshman q Co.'S Cotton Letter.

The cotton market opens steady on the
firmer cables from Europe and covering
by belated shorts. Shortly after the OPEN
ing prices sagged somewhat but on this
reaction supporting orders by the Wall
street and heavy short covering by New
Orleans wire houses carried prices up
with a rush. but selling on the bulge
caused a reaction. The heavy movement
at Houston estimated at 5000 bales for the
month, was noticed. 1t Is evident that
despite the outlook for good crop, 1t is
still too early to base any accurate cal
culations as to just what amount will be.
Since the middle of the month there has
been a great amount of deterioration due
to the poor weather conditions and If this
continues 1t is bound to result in consid-
cradle damage to the plant which Is in
very tender condition at the present
time and are very susceptible to the ac-
ton of the elements. The government re-
port due on September is therefore la
Bile to show heavy reduction in the con-
dition of the report.
Private advices received from the great
er part of the cotton belt by us state that
the deterioration has been very heavy
during the past week and special re-
! port from Texas this morning states that
| the boil weevil is again active and doing
great damage. We think for the present
| cotton is a purchase at current figures.

Chlca-o IChanue.

Chicago, August 26.-The course of
wheat prices today was like the path Of
rudderless ship. Veering upon slight
impulse the market finished 1AQ2c bet
ter than the previous close.
Corn closed Nc up to a shade off.
Oats were down Bc and provisions 21a
@5c.
Wheat was extremely nervous through
out the session. September started %QAc
to 114@1asc, to 81 .04QD1 .0411. The weakness
was attributed largely to non-appearance
of frosts in the northwest and to unex-
pectedly heavy Argentine shipments. A
disposition to take profits was shown by
outsiders who had bought wheat under
the dollar mark. Several Of the leading
bulls, however, were reported to have
come to the support of the market. Their
alleged operations resulted In rather
eager plunges to the buying side. The re-
version of feeling was helped by private
advices, which, If true, indicate more en-
phatically that the Manitoba crop will be
considerably shorter than that of last
year. The northwest bought In this mar
ket on the strength of the shortage news.
As a result, frightened shorts began to
cover lines. In few minutes special
wheat had advanced 1%c to 81 .03a4 and
December &c to s1.061a. The trade SEEM
ingly is rapidly getting out of the nearer
months and the deferred future received
the greater attention. Renewed taking Of
profits resulted in a. sudden decline. Soon
September was back to 81 .04ss, with De-
cember down to s1.05ss At these prices
another bull wave overlook the market,
and the Best prices of the day were re-
corded.
The strength attending this last reac-
ton continued until the close, final quo
tations being at the top, 81 .057s for Sep
TENDER and s1.07A for December

New York August 2s.-on fairly heavy
profit taking today's stock market re-
ceived something of check in It's up
ward course, though gains for the day
were numerous. The reaction was most
marked in the group of standard stocks,
the notable exception being Arnalgamated
Copper which advanced to the highest
point of the year.
Commission houses reported no improve
ment In buying. and not few traders
inclined to a curtailment of their opera
lions because of the promise in the last
few days of a slique whose operations
have been regarded with some suspicion.
Crop conditions also entered into the sit
uation, the commodity markets being
again unsettled. There was still some
fear of frost In the corn belt.
Features of strength in the early trad
ing included United States Steel prefer
red Reading, Consolidated Gas, and Mex
lean Central. On the other hand, pro-
nounced weakness was shown by BATH
more and Ohio, st. Louis and Union Pa
cifc, st. Paul alone making partial re-
covery later. The strength of Copper was
co-incldent with the publication of trade
reports, showing that the consumption of
the raw metal In Fance and Germany for
the present year exceeds that of any year
since 1900. The buying of Reading was
again declared to be for Philadelphia ac-
count, while the advance in Steel prefer
red, in spite of more unfavorable trade
conditions; suggested a drive against the
short interest in that stock. Mexican
Central moved up on confirmed reports
of favorable developments
There was some activity In United
States realty at a higher level, based on
talk of a settlement of existing labor diff
ficulties. A further gain was registered
by Missouri, Kansas and Texas preferred
on buying by foreign houses. The Gould
stocks as a group were inactive, though
manipulation Of st. Louis Southwestern
was again apparent. Trading became
more narrow In the afternoon and very
dull. Prices manifested a tendency to sag
though gains on the day were the rule
in the more active issues. The transact
tions while not very activee, were firm
at marked advances, and Colorado Fuel
and Republic Iron and Steel were rela-
lively strong In sympathy with United
States Steel.
In the miscellaneous list Linseed com
mon and preferred, and American Snuff
made smart gains. Chicago sent in lit
tie seed buying orders. Metropolitan Sc
curities and Metropolitan Street Railway
were extensively traded In during the
late session, buying orders being quite
widely distributed. Aside from this, the
market was featurelesss closing about
steady Railroad reports to hand included
that of Atchson for July, showing a de-
crease In total income of over 100000. This
exhibit was in marked contrast to the
reports Of some four score other roads
for the same period, which showed an
average net increase of 9.57 per cent. Es-
