Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.


 The cotton market ran up 20 points in short order this morning after an early break of 10 points in some position. There was nothing weak about the opening, however, as much as 1t appears that way. The local operators sold two or three thousand baies of August to carry tlt market under 10 cents, and shake out cot ton in October and later months.
 But the blow did not shake the ripe ap- ples from the tree for the professionals to gather.
 The little operation cost them s50oO be- fore they knew what was going on. In other words the market refused to break at the selling.
 The trader in cotton at the moment must nst forget that the large interests are manipulating this market for lower prices.
 It is generally believed that they are to accumulate a line of cotton.
 It is a question whether the market can be showed below 10Ac with such news as is coming from Texas and elsewhere. Texas is now rapidly approaching a criti- cal condition owing to lack of moisture, and if we don't have rain here in short time there will be a wall heard in every cotton center of the world
 We were against the cotton market on the July rise, prices being artificial That's why the market acts as 1t does now. If it were elae. where 1t should have been in July, it would he going up by lcars and bounds We believe in buying cotton on all breaks now until rains come. If they don't come soon we will have higher prices.

SHARP ADVANCE IN COTTON MARKET Spurt Was Taken After Initial
 Decline BIG DEMAND WAS EVIDENT Liverpool Rallied Soon After the Local Opening and Private Gables We're
 of More BuIllsh
 Average.
BIG DEMAND WAS EVIDENT

New York, August 1.-The cotton mar ket was more active and after an initial decline, advanced sharply. with last prices 22m26 points net higher.
 The opening was weak at decline of 2Gp11 points in response to easier cables and continued pressure from local bears. But there was big demand at the decline from leading southern interests, smaller shorts and commission house bulls, and the market soon showed a net gain of 13 @16 points. During the middle of the session prices huctuated rather narrowly but in the late trading became very firm on bullish private reports. There was active realizing toward the close and some of the local bear operators sold in blocks of 800 bales but the market ab- sorbed offerings very well. and lost only about four to five points at the best The final tone was steady.
 Liverpool rallied soon after the loeaj opening and private cables were of a more bullish average, predicting a re- newal of trade demand. The weather map showed further rains at practically all points except the Texas district which continues dry and hot, and a private crop report issued after the close reported an average condition of 71.4 per cent against 7e.4 per cent last month.
 Receipts at the ports today 1886 against 7025 last week, and 2S9s last year. For the week estimated, 55.00o bales, against 6s14s last week, and 140s2 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans PASS bales against bs6 last year, and at Houston s559 bales against 17s3 last year.

trade authority in the iron and steel in- dustry had its effect on the stocks of companies connected with various branch es of that industry. There was some special activity in the Republic Steel stocks, in- duced by discussion of the possible re- sumption of dividends on the preferred stock. The extra dividend on United States reduction and refining explained the advance in the stocks of that com pany Reports that the often projected lead merger was again abandoned de- pressed National lead and had some effect also on American smelling. The money market continued easy, and therefore re- eeiyed no attention in the stock mar ket The digestive process continued up to the close, which was made irregular by the heavy profit taking in some stocks, and the late rise of about a point in the United States steel stocks and some others.

The stock market today was very ir- regular again, and in the majority of is- sues prices were a shade higher early, lolloWed by decline during the afternoon session Union Pacific reached q new high point when it sold at 1371s New York Gem trai' Atehison and St. Paul were A to 1s nlsher. Metropolian passed 13o early, but 1eil on near the close. There was renewed activily Tn the steel and iron shares. Re- public Steel preferred gained ahout per cent. and Tennessee Coal rallied 1lb per cent to 91%. Colorado Fuel gained lA per cent and big steel s. While we expect to see the market sell higher later on we are in favor of the short side for a good reaction.

Loveman C Co.'S Market Letter.

Liverpool to say the least was very discouraging at points down, when our market opened this morning at decline of points. October 20. The opening of values locally, however. was the low est of the day. The political situation was much brighter favorable progress having been made in the untying of the knotty problems at the Portsmouth peace conference. The weather in Texas re- mained unchanged, little or no rain in the state and average maximum temperature was 9S for the third consecutive day, some points, in fact ten stations, rang ing from 100 to 103 degrees, and the of ficial forecast was for continuance of fair weather. It was apparent on every side that traders were commencing to take the situation in Texas seriously. Liver pool was bid up until all of the early de- cline was wiped out and the American markets were run up in spite of aggres- sive opposition at New York, representa- tive southerners there forcing their way to the front and taking possession of the market. Wall street was supposed to be saying nothing and saving wood, but the talent sized up the situation in short or der, and the buying for strong interests in the northern, market was made more difficult, the buying by room traders re- sulting in an advance of % points, Oc- tober selling high as 10.51. finally closing at 10. .49d10. .50 Spinners continue their. pol icy of buying sparingly of spots at Liv- erpool. taking only 3000 bales today at a reduction of points, their object being to have stocks accumulate by receipts of the old crop and arrivals of the new crop remain in the visible supply.
