COTTON STEADIER
AFTER SHARP BREAK
Wall Street Was Buyer Late in
the Day
SALES WARE 5O0,0O0BALES
Buying Was Thought to Be of Better
Character Than Recenty-close
Was Near the Best of
the Day.

New York, August 2o-After a sharp
break during the forenoon to still another
low record, the cotton market steadied
up on covering of shorts and buying by
Wall street. The close was steady at a
decline of l point to an advance of s
points. Sales were estimated at 100000
bales, nearly double the recent average.
The opening was steady at decline of
points to an advance of points, most
of the active months being unchanged
from Saturday, which was about as due
on the cables. Weather reports from the
south over Sunday were considered excel
lent, and while there was some buying here
at the opening for short account and for
a turn there were good many selling
orders accumulated in the hands of wire
and commission houses over the week
end, and after showing an advance of 2d4
points on the active months the market
weakened and broke severely under a re-
newal of bear pressure and liquidation
by early buyers, which carried prices off
TO s.SS for October and S.96 for December
or about 14416 points net lower. The
rally later in the session was accompanied
by quite an active business, and the
buying was Thought to be of a better
character than recently with some of
tic wall street nouSeSt which nave been
bearish open buyers and taking higher
prices. The close was within a point or so
of the best of the day. Southern spot
markets were unchanged to Ae lower.

New York, August 20-With trading in
enormous volume. sales aggregating $780,
600 shares, last weeks upward movement
in the stock market was resumed today
Throughout the session the market was
extremely active, the tape being from to
10 minutes behind time in recording trans
actions. The tone was generally strong
although heavy profit taking in certain
issues, notably the Hartman stocks,
caused some irregularity, the greater part
of the days operations being of a pro-
fessional character. in spite of attempts
to create a contrary impression. As a
matter of fact, the wild character of
trading was In itself sufficient TO keep
the public out of the market
Interest from the outset centered around
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific, which
led last weeks remarkable movement
Both of these issues had wide open
tngs Southern Pacific soon advanced to a
high record figure. There were heavy
initial transactions in several other Is
sues, Including Amalgamated copper
Commission houses reported large ac
cumulation of buying orders from out of
town. The action of the Hartman diree-
tors last week was still the principal sub
ject of discussion and comment thereup-
on was. If anything, increasingly bitter.

these points, 1t is clear from the long
chain of recent events that the interests
which control the destinies of the great
railway and Industrial enterprises of the
country, are supremely confident as to
conditions for some time to come.
With the passing days this is heard as
to the possibility of a money stringency
in connection with the movement of the
crops. However, money both on time and
CALL manifested hardening tendency to-
day, numerous over-year loans being re-
ported at per cent, while call money
loaned in considerable amounts at per

close.

cover further realizing for profits else
where and the swift pace of the early
day was maintained with but slight dimin-
ution. The furry in call money just be-
fore the close precipitated some heavy
selling, Union Pacific making net loss
and the balance of the active list selling
from / to 3 points below the days best
figures. Opinions as to London's participa-
ton in this market developed, early re-
ports telling of profit taking sales. while
later it was declared that the days busi-
ness showed purchases on balance. The
strength of the copper stocks here was
doubtless a reflection in part of the higher
prices quoted for the metal in London. In
addition to the stocks named new high
records were made by st. Paul preferred
and Chesapeake and Ohio. The sub
treasury at the close of business today
reported payments aggregating $23 600. 900
for account of the new Panama bonds.
Many railroad returns were made, chiefly
for the month of July. Marked gains in
gross were reported by Louisville and
Nashville, Canadian Pacific, Southern
Pacific, $500 and Grand Trunk.

Ware G. Leland's Market Letter.

The one predominating feature Of the
market today was its weakness.
No special news came to hand to stimuli
late selling, but all the same steady
stream of selling orders came in from all
directions and put the price of the fall
months below the &c mark and October
even below $50.
The bears made no organized effort to
depress prices and the market sank of Its
own weight
Many professionals Joined the ranks of
the reaetionists and 1t is safe to say that
If they had stayed on the short side and
worked for further decline, as they did
for a rise. the price would have been
sent down another quarter OF a cent.
The situation is now uncertain, and the
market is beginning to get nervous. Elk
treme bears are talking OF 61sc and even
&c cotton. but such talk does not find
general favor.
The general run of bears seem to be-
lieve In Sc cotton and that the price, after
that level has been reached, VIII be de-
termined by the crop outlook and by the
attitude OF the spinners, who just now are
holding off and apparently consuming
their reserve stocks.

Liverpool cables again pessimistic in

the long interest and the falling back by
spinners on their reserve stock Options
ON the close were barely steady and net

A further loss In values occurred to-
day, establishing a new low record for
the season, but the decline has been so
rapid, so easy of contamination and dur

occurred, that in reality well-founded

to prevail that the favorableness of crop
