Liverpool was very weak today and
closed at the lowest. Cables say that Lon
don and continental selling caused the de-
cline there. but rumor current here init
mates that the late bull leader was a
seller of $1,000 bales in Liverpool and prob
ably 10000 more here on the decline of
the early morning Such rumors are
usually idle gossip and may safely be
so considered In the present case. There
may be, and no doubt IS, considerable
short interest in all futures, but there
is probably no concentrated long account
unless for New Orleans parties, who are
known to have been very bearish for over
a month past; in fact, 1t begins to look
as If the southern died IN the WOOL
was the first to realize the immense pos
sibilities of the present crop, and were
the heavy and persistent sellers during
the long period when prices were held up
by manipulation from this end. At any
rate the discovery has been made that
the New Orleans crowd is heavily short
at much higher prices than those current.
and are firm believers in lower range of
values.
New low levels were touched for all OPP
lions today and genuine surprise was felt
when 9lke for October was put through
without any resistance, that month finally
touching 9.4s. This proved the lowest Of
short profit-taking. The close fnds prices

Nothing, however, has occurred to sug-
gest that the rally Is more than tempor
airy normal reaction. Liverpool is due

Ware q LeIand's Market Lette

ware q Lelanu'S MARKET Letter.
The long expected reaction was the
one thing talked about In the market this
morning. Brewers worked, talked and
prayed for It, but prices stayed well below
the level of Saturdays closing and re-
fused to display an upward tendency.
At the opening they were sent down Z
to 10 points by an extremely disappointing
Liverpool market, and the result was a
decidedly easy undertone throughout the
larger part of the session.
There is no doubt that a reaction Is
overdue, and conservative brokers would
rather see 1t come now than later on
when an unwieldly short interest shall
have been piled up.
The trade, however is just beginning
to realize that there are chances for a
very large crop this year, and this dis
covery Is causing an under-current of
bearishness which Is carrying prices
downward to new low levels for the sea-
son every day.
The bulls might have had some chances
of putting prices up temporary. but for
the sensationally bearish attitude of Liv-
erpool.
Prices there were points down on some
active positions at the time of our OPEN
ing instead Of the to points decline that
was expected. Gables said that the de-
cline was due to a crop estimate by Car
penter of 100000 bales.
The result of this estimate seems to
have been a wild scramble to get out.

That tho market is very sensitive to
weather developments was fairly well
demonstrated today after values had been
unwarrantedly depressed by heavy selling
and crop authority had estimated this
years growth at 100000 bales. In addi
ton to this large crop estimate, shorts
had a large estimate for receipts tomor-
row at Houston to work on, 5000 to $500,
against 5221 last year, and were also IA
vored with lower temperatures in the belt
over Sunday, all of which occasioned
a decline of about IL points, October fall
ing to 9.57. The lower temperature was
accompanied by moderate to heavy rains
throughout the cotton region, and as the
remedy was as injurious as the disease,
the precipitation at points in west Texas.
in Alabama and In the Carolinas aver
aging excessive, 1t was realized that 1t
was hard for the cotton crop TO escape de-
terioration during this trying month, UNI
less the weather conditions be absolutely
perfect
In other words shorts found themselves
fanked by two influential features, the
possibility of excessive hot weather or a
continuance of injurious rains. Neverthe-
less the market was sold with free
hand in an effort to force matters, but
the absorbing power in the neghborhood
of 91be for October delivery soon exhaust
ed their ammunition, and they retreated
as best they could preferring to await
further developments before making an
other assault upon the position of longs.
