Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter

 After the government report a week ago the leading bull operator who has been manipulating the cotton market for some time in fact since March, sold over 100,- GOO bales of cotton from 10 10 to 10 for De cember
 In private conversation the following day this operator said that he had sold out because the market did not seem to respond to bull efforts.
 During the early part of the week the market halted In the downward swing only 10 resume the break yesterday morn ing.
 During the day the same broker who sold the aforementioned cotton, sold up- ward of LOGO bales of December around 9.S0
 This cotton was signed by houses iden- tified with the. same full interests above mentioned. and either represents the clos ing out of an extensive long interest or a shifting of position that instead of being long these operators are short
 Just what Is, going on Is difficult to. say, but in the long run individual opera tions are not to obscure the general sit uation. Crop news has been of an improv- ing order, and the crop generally seems to be doing so well that 1t will require ex- tenslve and serious damage to change the bearish sentiment prevailing in most cot ton circles.
 While the market has had an extensive decline, we are now on the eve of new cotton. which must be taken by the trade and with big crop this will supply con- stant pressure, increasing as the season advances.
 For this reason it will be difficult tb bring about much of an advance, and the trend of the market appears to be to- ward lower level

New York, Angus. l9,--Today's stock
 market was held suspended between the Influences of the rising rates for call money and the extraordinary figures of the governments report of the condition of the great cereal crop. There was brief and slight hardening of prices of stocks following the publication of the governmsnt crop report which served pnly to about restore the level of prices to where they left off last nigh' rtfhe market fell back again ln;o Ju. .i.., state after this brief sign of animation The promise of the crops according to the estimates of the agricultural department served to explain the growing confidence an financial circlos that the embarrass- ments in the situation, due to the heavy oyer-eommltments of capital in fixed forms, give good promise of working out
 The indicated winter wheat crop Is the largest on reeold. promising as 1t does to come within l,000. .e00 bushels of the half billion bushel mark. The estimate of the spring wheat crop while falling short of the actual crop of 1901, exceeds that of any other year and brings the indicated figures for the total wheat crop estimat- ed on present conditions to the largest an the countrys history the figures rising to above 772,00e.O00 bushels. The estimate of the corn crop based on present condi- tlons fixes q figure in excess of last years bumper crop and also Is well above the estimate fled at this date last year
 The moderate effect of the report either in the grain markets or in the stock mar ket was due partly to the confident ex-
