COTTON LETTER.
Ny Prixate Wire to c. c. Abercrombi
 q Co.,, 32 Commerce Street.

By Privnte Wire to c. c. Abercrombfe q CO, 31 Commerce Street. New Orleans, La, Aug. 4.--Having large number of new bales and by the launching by the Government of a high ly favorable crop condition report, shorts succeeded in making a success ful attack on the position of longs. Although the new season will not be- gin until September 1st. yesterday s Econflict might properly be called the first battle of the campaign of 1906 and From point of strategy, shorts ap- pear to have the point of vantage and are so situated as to be able to train their guns in either direction from the heights of 10 cents.
 According to reports from the fields. dame nature seems to be working in the interest for full crop in order to replenish the bins of the world which have been reduced to a low ehb owing to the moderate yield of last year and the excellent demand 80 generally re- ported up to within a short while ago. Again in this development are advo- reported reaction which is said to have set fin the cotton goods market of England. the demand from China and
 India of supplies of all descriptions of mill productions.
 Turning to the political situation, Russia is still in the throes of revo- lutions and the periodical reports of muttny in the army and navy denotes dissatisfaction in all departments of the Government, feature not promising to an early amicable settlement or adjust
 ment of Russian internal affairs, nor to the peace of the world.
 Such are the surroundings that eni- brace the speculative markets of the world, and when considered are not en- couraging to say the least,
 The large discount at which con- tracts are selling at New York con- pared to values in the local market. now that the movement of new crop as Is indicated by the official reports of the Government, there will probably be regulating of differences, most likely at the expense of local prices It would be a part of folly to overlook shadows that probably forecast coming events Just as lt would be the height of stupidity to disregard surroundings of different character that might have
 been possible of development were con- ditlons the reverse of what they ap- pear to be.
 It is seldom if ever but that winter and fall months touch g cents in the early months of a new season. and un-
 der the circumstances as illustrated above, it dSes- not seem evident that this year will be an exception to the 7n,vrltten rule governing operations in cotton at this time of the season espe- ciafly when the oldh crop. eommerciaL promizes to be over 1f.000.000 bales.
 Tours truly, C. G. Abercrombie & Co.

chicago Grala and Provialon.

Chicago, Aug. 4.--IsaFEe primary re- eelpts induced liberal liquidation Of wheat here, today and resulted In a decline of Over 1 cent hushel At the close wheat for September deliv- cry was or 3-s to 1 f-2. Corn was down l-s to s-s. Oats showed g de- cline of IA Provisions were Ia to 2 cents lower to 10 cents higher.
 The wheat market was again under complete control by the bears who used their advantage to hammer the Rssoe st for a'Ws shs @ season' s Cash houses were the principal sellers early in the day. but toward the noon hour the selling became general and the market dsve!- oped extreme weaknsss. The princi- pal factor Tn the situation was the continued free movement of wheat from the farms, total primary receipts today being 1,tlt0O0 bushels compared with 9i2 0e0 bushels the corresponding day a year ago. ,Asdaciine of nearly 2 cents bushel in the. price of wheat at St. Louis supplemented the heavy move ment in It's depfessins enect on the local markets. The Ohio crop report showed the condition of tbe wheat crop to be 90 against s5 on July was an- other beariSh factor. There were some buliish alvices but these were appar- entIy passed over. Among these re- ports was one which claimed that heavy rains in KansaE had caused wheat in the shocks to sprout and had result ed in considerable damage The mar ket closed very weak, prices being at the lowest point of the day September opened f-S to f-s@t<4 lower at 73 Is @73 If, sold at 73 3-S then declined to 717-s Final quotations were at II 7-Sm?2. Clearances of wheat ana -four we've equal to 323,Q00 bushels Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago re- ported receipts of 645 cars against lz3 cars last week and AGO cars year ago.
 An cffieial forecast of showers tonight in Illinois caused weakness m the corn also exerteei a depressing effect Gov erine by shorts caused some reaction from the low point. but sentlment in the pit was beaFisa all day The close was weak. September epened un- changed to Is lower at 49 lao 4S 5-S, sold off to AS 5-S and closed at 4SW 49 f-S Local receipts were III cars with T6 of contract grade.
 Notwithstanding the weakness Of wheat and corn the oats market was fairiy steady There was a good class of buying in evidence and offerings were not large. September opened l-s higher at 3i 1-4, sold between go S-4 and 3i 3-S and closed at 50 1-& Local receipts were 294 cars.
 Provisions were quiet and steady. cents advance in hogs was huliish infiusnce. Liberal shipments of lard also tended to steady the market At the close September pork was unehans- ed at 16e7 1-2. Lard was off 1-Q6 cents at S.S5 Ribs were IS cents high CT at 9.25.
 Estimated receipts for Monday:
 Wheat 5O9 cars Z corn 145 cars. oats 28S2 cars, hogs 44,o00 headA

Two citizens there who declined to pay their $l poll tax were arrested and sentenced to jail for sixty days. Declaring at first that they would rot in tail before they would pay cent. the two finally settled for the tax and costs by paying $10.35 and $l1.55, respectively. That IS a good ex- ample for easygoing Massachusetts.
