Abercrombie q Co.'S Market Letter.


Weather conditions having remained
favorable over Sunday, Liverpool showed
no signs of reaeting on the contrary a
decline there of 10 English points influ-
eneed a further drop In values in America
of about 81 per bale. The free movement
of new cotton to market in South Texas
and showery weather and normal tenn
peratures in the belt are looked upon as
an assurance for a bumper crop, and be-
ing under the effect of such Illusions
shorts are underwriting future contracts
under the most favorable of terms TO the
spinner. The plus correction of 1900 bales
reported In receipts and shipments at st.
Louis on Saturday will add nothing to the
visible supply. the cotton having passed
into the hands of spnners already, but
1t will add to the size of the CONNER
eial crop which now points to about Il, :
500, 900 bales, and spinners' taxings since
September l will be augmented to the
same extent. The larger the commercial
crop figures for the past year the more
bullish ap argument does 1t become. as II
will show In a most convincing way the
necessity of a larger crop than was raised
last year by about 1250000 bales, or per-
haps, If large inroads have been made on
mill reserves of last year. as much as l.
100000 bales more than was gathered In
1905, or say 12,225,000 bales, compared with
10,726,000. and it is possible that If trade
should be better than last season. even
larger crop will be required. Therefore.
there is the need of crop of 1250O 600
bales Of American for next season.

Loveman & Co.'S Market Letter.

The temptation to take profits becomes
greater with every decline. hence fre-
quent rallies from time to time are ex-
peeted as the course Of prices proceeds
further downward. There was an example
of this rallylng tendency today but It Is
worth nothing, that although prices closed
20 points up from the bottom, the real
gain over Saturday Is only to points
IN other words, before any rally came
there was a further drop from Saturdays
close of Il to Is points. establishing an en-
tirely new lot of records. There has been
no change IN the underlying situation
such as seems necessary to draw In buy
ing of an aggressive sort by spectators,
or to cause spinners to cover their sea-
sons wants In a hurry.s The only item of
news was a cable from a Liverpool house
reporting a partial failure of the Mon
soon, In India. Spinners will certainly not
consider a confirmation of this report as
a bullish factor
Crop reports from the Atlantic district
show a decided Improvement for the last
fortnight. while there are no unusual
complaints from the central and western
belt. The postponement of the next bu-
reau report to later date than September
probably to September or s, is also not
bullish. Rallies such as we have seen to-
day will come at intervals. but we believe
there Is nothing in sight TO check the
steady downward tendency of prices. Liv-
erpool Is due to come to higher In the
morning.

that Empire Is being aroused at the indig-
miles which this Government offers. The
Christian Missionaries In that country which
are sent there for noble purposes and high
aims have been for years q source ofirritation
to the people Of China. Our Missionaries
were prominent factors In the Boxer war,
and now we see their names in connection
| with the threatened war against the business
interests Of this country.
Nobody in his country doubts purity OF In.
~tention in sending Missionaries to China. but
these good people have no right to become IT.

country in war
This being true, they should come home
The exclusion laws being unjust, at least 10

In case the irritating presence and actings
of our missionaries Is to continue, and Il
Chinese citizens are to be treated as II unn'
to put their feet upon the soil OF this coun-
try, then the self-respect Of that country de-
mands hat commercial Intercourse between
China and the United States shall cease
China should also notify this country OF Inc
fact that our missionaries are unWelcome'
and that the Chinese government will not be
responsible for their safety. Further than
this. we hin the Chinese authorities should
order their unwelcome guests to leave the

are in China, should not be allowed 10 In

We hope that China may demand ior ner

The bypocracy Of this Country is nowhere
more plainly shown than IN our act "nion

that he may not come to this country anu
which act ia followed by sending to them a
troup OF missionaries, the effect OF whose
presence is to endanger the peace and tne

We need a revision OF our exclusion laws,
and We should put missionaries on notice
