Loveman a Co.'s Market Letter.

The open season of the Crop liar is
upon us and sensational news of every
kind must be closely investigated before
being accepted case in point was
the report of an eight inch rainfall at
Dallas yesterday, and deluge of rain
all over North Texas and in the terri
tories The government report. however
shows only 204 inches at Dallas for the
whole twenty-four hours and no more
than ~ inches anywhere else. The dam
age claims from North Carolina and
South Carolina, are partially confirmed by
the Journal of Commences monthly crop
report One of the things most feared
after a long period of rain Is heavy
shedding South Carolina seems to have
escaped this up to the present owing to
the fact that the wet spell has been fol-
lowed by occasional showers and rather
cloudy weather for the ten days follow
ing.
A prominent Texas authority places
the Improvement in condition within the
past months at 11.2 points. That is not
unreasonable since last months condi-
tion was based upon a drouth which
was not relieved until the last week in
June and after the date on which the
bureaus returns were made. The low
lands of the Mississippi bottoms have
had too much rain. but with that exeep-
ton, the states of Arkansas, Louisiana
and Mississippi send In fine accounts.

KEENE is A LARGE FAC TOR

New York, July 26.-Speeulative senti-
ment showed itself sensitive still to the
influence of the Hartman and Standard
Oil favorites or what is equally as eff
fectual what are accepted as favorites
of those powerful financial forces. Yes
terday the general market advanced be-
cause Southern Pacific, Union Pacific and
st. Paul were strong. When these stocks
were seen today TO be subjected to
process of market digestion and Of dill
gent selling on all favorable opportun-
tiles, there was a revulsion in the feel
ing created yesterday by the aggressive
buying of these stocks.
The suspicion was aroused that the So
called news regarding these stocks was
a result Of the buying and not the cause
Of 1t. The brokers who were employed to
buy the stocks named yesterday gave the
impression that the Hartman and STAN
dard Oil interests were buying enormous
blocks of these usual favorftes and this
belief was strongly prevalent throughout
the stock exchange neighborhood. The re-
ports of an early dividend declaration
on Southern Pacific with resulting bene-
fit to Union Pacific from its large hold
ings of the former stock, found ready
credence from the movement of the stock
Today many of the same persons who
accepted these reports were skeptical
and expressed the conviction that the
whole movement was skllful manipula-
ton by James r. Keene. The faith in
the st. Paul plan which was to be pro-
mulgated as return from Europe of
Mr.. Rockefeller and which was implicitly
accepted yesterday was shaken again in
the face of selling off of that stock and
the market fell into an apathetic condi-
ton soon after the opening to await the
meeting of st. Paul directors and ad-
vaneed strongly on the non-action of the
plan. The realizing in yesterdays favor
ties was obscured for time by the ris-
ing tendency of other stocks. But these
were less effective in dominating senti-
ment than the ones which were icing
sold The most influential support was
due to sympathy with the large buying of
United States steel. Trade reports from
this industry We're highly encouraging
but this was not the new factor in the
market. More Importance was attached
to the news that the steamship Baltic

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

Cotton was easy and lower today for
a variety of reasons chief among which
was a deluge of favorable crop reports
from nearly all portions of the belt and
particularly from the eastern portions of
it where 1t has been popularity supposed
the crop was IN bad shape.
The bulls gave the market not the
slightest support They viewed rather a
wide slump in July with indifferences
apparently made no effort to stop the
notices for a hundred bales THAI were
circulating and causing the weakness In
view of this. the talent in general were
inclined to take rather seriously the
kilograms from New York, which said
that tomorrow was the first notice day
in that market and that liberal tenders
were expected.
Gables from Liverpool were good enough
TO cause a steady opening but later some
very bearish private advces were re-
ceived from the English market the gist
of them being that Lancashire spinners
were covered with raw cotton until the
middle of September If not later. that
bearish feelings was gaining ground in
the English market and that insurance
to the amount of 100000 pounds sterling
was carried on finished cotton goods in
Bombay indicating enormous stocks
there
he weather ildp WAS laNOAAOiC rs II
indicated little or no rain in the cotton
region. Private crop reports from the
Atlantic states were optimistic in tone
and the Journal of Commerce reports
on the eastern belt were surprisingly fav-
orable, considering what the trade has
been expecting. One of the most sensa-
tional kilograms received during the
morning was to tine effect that planter
in Torras Pointe Coupe parish, Louisiana,
lad already picked two bales OF cot
ton.
All this news led the ring to believe
that 1t had been holding too bullish views
of the condition of the crop and the
natural result was free selling and a
consequent decline

Cables we're numerous and bearish 10
a degree in tone Favorable crop adViees
went to the other side being to strongly
an influence In favor of lower prices, not
withstanding the fact that the major SELL
timent, financially, In Liverpool could
hardly be anything else but bullish in
view of the large stocks of cotton held
there. Options were unchanged 10 l down
on the close and spot sales 5000 bales.
Today's decline was ipanifestly in ac-
cordance with the legitimate influences
surrounding the trade. NO pronounced
pressure was brought to bear in spite OF
the fact that crop news continues most
satisfactory The few clear and warm
days that the belt has experienced of late
seem to have been of great benefit TO the
plant. and our crop adviees today report
no deterioration more than local shedding
and grassy fields. In Texas the uniform
progress made is most satisfactory and
encouraging. and some authorities MAIN
tain that the present condition indicates
a yield fully as large as the great crop
year before last Were this the only IN
fiuence affecting market prices it would
be unreasonable to suppose that bullish
enthusiasm could nowhere find foot
hold, but since there must also be reck-
oned the well supplied condition, said
to extend even through September, of the
mill centers of England, and especially
Lancaster, and prospects for an early
movement of new cotton. together with
the fact that this seasons supplies bid
fair to be ample for all needs, remember
ing the restriction of the eastern trade
through overproduction, 1t does not APP
pear to be a radical step to take in de-
claring that declines are far more likely
to occur than enhancement in values.
