L0veman 6 cO.,s Market Letter.

@SNNHl0H W SOs NidiNCl A-SAeShf
 As a result of unofficial confirmation ad- vices of further deterioration in the con dition of the growing crop during the past month, values for future contracts are somewhat higher than the closing of lasI week, October closing today at 1f.p9 against 1O.69, but spots remain undis- turhed, middling today lOss compared with 109s. In advance of the governments monthly condition report to be published next Thursday, not a few private reports have been issued, and without exception show a lower average for the crop at the close of July than one month ago. Thus far the New York Journal of Commerce has published summaries on all states ex- cept Texas and the territories. and while some improvement has been noted in the south Atlantic states. and perhaps In Ala bama returns from the states which com prise the western half of the belt show deterioration, in some instances marked departure from last months condition, In other words, unofficial returns thus far published show improvement in the eastern portion of the belt. deterioration in the western half. Therefore. the con sensus of opinion Is that the bureau will be in the neighborhood of last month s T. probably a little higher, perhaps a little lower; the one case to cause a de- cline, the other an advance. In the mean time spinners are welding themselves to- gether in order to be in a position to do battle against American operators in event of an attempt to send prices higher, spinners of the United Kingdom inviting continental spinners to take part in the movement.

Ware & Leland,s Market Letter.

A good undertone characterized our market today, the steadiness in Liverpool relieved bears of the idea that even a temporary decline was likely to be ob- served
 Prices at which initial trades were made were not materially changed during the balance of a rather quiet session.
 A report covering the crop for the state of Texas by the Southwestern Cotton Growers association showed a decrease in condition of AZ per cent, as compared with the same association figures of a month ago, served to dispel the belief held by few that the situation in that state had improved
 While the old crop is to some extent q dead issue. the distribution of it's surplua remains of importance, and of little in- huence.
 Everything points to the spinners' talk. ings being far in excess of early esti- mates.
 During the past week. with an into-sIeht movement of about 1280O0 bales. the vie. 1ble supply of American cotton decreased some 3,000 bales.
 The mills takings were around 1s1 .OOo as against about 5000 bales last year
 No suggestions of unsatisfactorv trade conditions can be drawn from the com.

Regarding the crops, the principal olscus- sion has centered about spring wheat Buying of stocks early in the week Was attributed to a demand to cover by shores who had sold wheat last week when le- norts were current of a large damage py black rust. ,
 Conditions during the week have been reported favorable to the grain crops An unusual amount of confusion and uncer- tainty exists regarding the cotton crop which is aggravated by the dispute over the governments statistics.
 Money has remained very easy in New York and the foreign exchange rate a1ter an early advance turned doWhWaiWu us us again The west reports some hardening of money rates, and favorable outcome for the crops, and the expected activity In business is looked to for an increase III the usual demand for funds Tor the crop regions With the present great expah- sion of credits. 1t Is believed that con siderable loan contraction in New fork will be necessitated. The belief Is grow ing also that peace will be the outcome of the coming negotiations at Portsmouth, N H.. and it is expected that the world money markets will be called upon to sub scribe for a Russian indemnity loan. The possible effect of Russian loan on the large amounts loaned in this market IS one of the important elements in the problems of the future course of money.
 The bond market has continued rather narrow and dull, but the undertone has been firm.
 United States new As have advanced A per cent on call during the week.
