Abercrombie G. Co.'S Market Letter.
There was no change In weather con-
ditions over night general light to heavy
rains in all districts of the belt. except
In the district of Oklahoma, where fair
weather was reported. The Galveston
Daily News, however published the sec
ond of a series of monthly reports on the
condition of the Texas-Territory crops
and as some Improvement was noted IN
Texas. the condition of the crop on july
y averaging % per cent better than lase
MONTH 100, against 1867, ana y per cehl
higher than at the same date one year
ago it served to Offset the unfaNoraple
feature of the weather map. me marhe'
opening was at about unehanged prices.
There was heavy buying of distant po-
sition reported at New York in the early
hours, but the demand was really sup
piled by realizing sales for account OF
scattered long interest, and by Tree ol-
ferings in lie neighborhood or 1o1s ior
October deli cry. The issuing OF a semi
monthly err } condition report by PROM
#inent nortl ern commission house cum
piled by a noted statistician, showed less
deterioration for the past two weeks than
generally expected, the average OF crop
being placed at $50, compared with S5.s
on July and S4.3 on June 10. the week
ly weather bureau was announced at
the usual hour, and proved to be better
than looked for, the only general com
plant being the lack of sunshine, when
is very much desired in all the cotton
growing states for while Georgia is said
to have had continuous rains the Caro-
linas Jared better. the rainfall being con-
fined to coast counties. Showers, how
ever, are again predicted for the south
Atlantic states. and for Texas and other
sections of the southwest, but fair
weather is promised Mississippi tonisht
and tomorrow. and for Alabama Wednes-

Gilbert G. cIay,s Market Letter.

The fear, as yet unfounded, that the
heavy rains of the present have wrought
some damage to the growing crop, seems
to have pevaded the foreign market for
options though quiet netted gain on
the close of two points. Spot quotations
were three points up. sales amount
ing to six Thousand bales.
Current months alone were steady at
an advance this morning due to further
covering, but there was some noteworthy
selling of August by bull brokers early in
the day which lends to that month the
same element of danger for speculative
purposes as July have proven to be, I'M
less, of course, the interest is protected
by spot cotton.
Distant positions. however. showed a
decided tendency to sag despite the con-
tinued and comparatively heavy rain
fall in almost all sections of the belt
except the Carolinas. The government s
weekly review of the weather was very
favorable, not single instance of damage
being recorded, although reports of such
a character would not have been surpris-
ing in the face of a prolonged spell
OF wet weather and this. together with
the half monthly condition figures of Miss
Giles, namely S35. gave to the market
prices an easier tendency.

MORE ACTIVITY IN
COTTON MARKET
Bearish Crop Report Causes a
Reactionary Tendency
SALES WERE 10000 BALES
Bears Seemed to Think Rain and
Gross Reports Had Been Exaeeer-
ated, and Were More Ageres-
sive Than for Several Days.

New York, July 17.-The cotton market
was more active than yesterday and sales
for the day are estimated at 10000 bales
At first orders were pretty we'll divided
and prices showed little change, but later
a reactionary tendency developed as re-
suit of rather bearish private crop re-
ports, and the market closed steady but
a a net loss of 2 to 8 points. The opening
was steady at unchanged prices to an adj
vance of points In response to higher
cables and continued rains In the eastern
belt The forecast called for more showers,
but several private advices were received
stating that recent complaints of grassy
fields andfdeterioration had been exag-
gerated, and the market gradually worked
off under selling of considerable blocks by
local bears, who seemed more aggressive
than for some days past. The bulls bought
freely in an apparent effort to check the
decline, but this support was less in evil
dence after midday when a private condl-
ton report was issued showing a deterio-
ration of only four-tenths of l per cent
for the half month, following which the
market sold off to the lowest point of the
session and closed only point or two
up from the bottom. Southern spot mar
kets generally unchanged. Private advices
reported a good demand for spot cotton in
the interior. with holders firm in their
views. Southwestern authorities claimed
the best crop outlook in Texas since the
year 1900 and several local operators is
sued circulars predicting large crop. Es
timated receipts at the ports today, 6l4l,
against 56S4 last week and 25.209 last year.
For the week, $1,000 bales, against a.
676 last week and 1887 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans. 1872 bales,
against 2227 last year. at Houston 2I5,

Loveman q Co.'S Market Letter.

Early in the morning there was con-
siderable nervousness among shorts who
showed a disposition to cover. There was
general apprehension that the weekly re-
port would be bulllsh and also that
the Giles report on condition would be
less favorable than the public expect
ed. AS a result prices held well through
out the forenoon, but although the mar
ket impression regarding the government
report was confirmed and the Giles re-
port of condition showed some railing
off during the past fortnight and despite
the glowing accounts from Texas, and
Mississippi valley, there was SO muen
selling to realize that prices reacted
about 10 points from the top. 1t looked
very much as II the big longs We're UNI
loading at the rise which was at the
highest today, 30 to 50 points above the
low level of bureau day two weeks ago.
The people who have taken profits today
will be ready buyers on any further 1reac-
ton. and for the first time in months
an element has entered into the market
which bids fair to steadily increase lts
activity until this period of Guinness Will
soon be forgotten. The Dallas News re-
mort on Texas and the territories shows
naturally a very marked improvement
over the VIGOROUSLY bad state of az
fairs existing at this time last year IN
northwest Texas and parts of lndlan
Territory BY adding the improvement
shown to the government figures OF last
August the present in Texas indicated
is about two points better than the pu.
reau report of last month ana apout
five better for Indian Territory while on
the other hand. the Oklahoma condition Is
about lower than the July bureau. The
Giles report published today shows
falling off in condition since July LIST Of
a ner cent. These private reports or
estimates are of value only as they may
be guides as to the next bureau re.
