Gilbert Z CLAWS Market Letter.


Liverpool came in disappointing, down
instead of up. There was some re-
covery before the opening of our mar
kets, which refused to respond to the
bearishness of Liverpool, initial figures
being about down from yesterday
close. Fluctuations were narrow and
traders were waiting on official action of
the convention before taking one side or
the other to any great extent. Con-
vention put out an estimate of crop eonda-
ton at 1873 as of August 20, which is Il
per cent higher than the government
figures. but with this condition the con-
vention figured the crop at s,bSS,Ooo bales.
It will thus be seen that the estimated

York, s. ptember There was
.aer heavy liquidation of stocks early
day folio, ing that of yesterday and
quite unifyrm declines between l and 2
points resutedskht the course of the first
hours rading. The market gave evil
denor 4 having been oversold and the
perception of this fact induced some re-
newed covering of short contracts by the
bears The tone of the market became
extremely uncertain and unsettled at the
resu ling rally in prices. The taking of
profits by the bears was due partly to the
fact that some of the adverse factors in
the days news were anticipated in the
selling of yesterday.
This was notably true in the advance
in minimum rate of discount by the bank
of England, which was made today. The
usual wide influence throughout the
financial world of a change of discount
rate by that institution occurred never
theless. No previous change had been
made since early in the spring and it
was not since September of two years
ago that the interest rate charged by
Att'e'
moved upwards. The successive change
since that date has been downward
from per cent to 2Ha per cent, which
ruled since last spring until today's adj
vance to per cent. The active demand
from Paris upon London for gold and the
large engagements there for shipments
to South America seem to be the imme-
date explanation for the action.
Discounts hardened in Berlin and Paris
in response There was rise in the
early price for exchange checks on Lon
don here, but a reaction occurred later
under renewed offerings of bankers bills
In the exchange market, induced by the
continued hardening of money rates. Call
money rates went to above per cent and
the asking rates for time loans were
advanced by many leaders. The liquida-
tion effected In the stock market seemed
nevertheless to have relieved the money

The cotton of Liverpool today was re-
sarded as very significant. 1t is hardly
probable that the decline of 8 points was
due to any bearish manipulation.
The decline was the direct result or
selling orders by the south and an alb
sence of the spinning demand necessary
to absorb the cotton. The decline ABROAD
started general selling here and prices
worked off 10 to 10 points at one time.
The trade was not large but so many
good people were selling cotton that even
the liberal demand for January below
1917 failed to do more than hold the mar
ket Reports from the best Informed cot
ton sources in the south show that crop Is
far from being as small as talked. All
this may be changed at any time but the
government upholds this view. Under the
circumstances it is a question whether the
spinners will come in and buy such
quantity of cotton at 10h as will carry
the market up in the face of the free
movement.
There was selling on the decline this
morning and while the tone was not
weak 1t was soft at most of the breaks.
Enough short covering was in evidence
to hold the price and rallies were fire.
quent.
Those which had cotton highe bought
more and this helped There Is more or
less short interest In the market and II
a rally comes we may have a sharp up
turn.
In general we would not risk buying,
save on good breaks now, but on the
other hand. there Is no use selling short
unless the market hardens. Any decline
is likely to be slow for a time any
way, as an early frost would play havoc
with the crop.

waiting for the result of the Ashevllle

has fixed II cents a pound as the mini

money to those who need advances, con-
sequently 1t is argued that no farmer
will have to sell cotton for less than
the price fixed. In local trading, Janu-
