Loveman & Co.'S Market Letter.

1t looks as If advantage was taken of
the light rains yesterday to make last
drive at the shorts 1t took a lot of buy
ing, however to advance the market only
3 to points, while the first attempt TO
realize long profits caused a reaction
which continued until the close and wiped
out the entire early gain. One of the ar
guments used was that the rains In
Texas were seriously damaging to the
crop. Now anybody who knows Texas in
the least must know that July rains are
the very best thing that could happen
to bring out a large yield which even the
increase in weevi1 activity are resulting
from wet weather, cannot seriously re-
duce. People who enjoy devlng into old
records. well recognize a once the SINH
larity between the present season In
Texas and that of 1900, when the yield
per acre was the largest ever known,
however. 1t must be conceded that in the
same season the long continued rains
the balance of the belt reduced
the outturn materially and caused a
short crop everywhere outside of Texas.
II may he we'll to bear this feature in
mind. although 1t applies this year only
TO the Carolnas and Georgia The wealth
er map seems to promise clear weather
in a day or two, and the drive made
against the shorts today may have been
looked upon as practically the last chance
to force them to cover and lift the mar
ket upon themselves. The ease with which
prices gave way. however towards the
close seems to intimate plainly that how
eyer much shorts may cover on crop
scares. the great public at large sees no
inducement in the present outlook,to buy
cotton for higher prices.

Abercromble & Co.'s Market Letter.


The weather conditions are unsatisfac-
tory, further rains heavy In the Mlssis-
sippi valley and the Atlantics reported
over night from nearly all sections of
the belt The Improvement in values at
one time amounted to 8 points for new
crop arrivals. Alabama, Georgia and
North Carolina crop accounts were less
favorable, the expected usual shedding
of the plant, which was to come of the
recent incessant rains. having been COM
planned of by states east of the Missis-
sippi river and from points In Louisiana.
Bull leaders, especially at New York IN
an effort to dislodge the apparent short
interest, bought largely again of new crop
deliveries, and while they have been I'M
successful thus far, they have not aban-
doned their intentions. or rather their
oontemplations. and are now relying upon
the interior to send in deterioration crop
reports. and on the possibility of govern
ment weekly and unofficial weekly crop
review to sustain their position. Locally
leading longs are giving their undivided
attentions to July and August, both
months enjoying a close relationship, the
former upon the extent of the unprotected
short interest in the current month, the
latter upon whether the deliveries of new
cotton during next month be large or
small. for If the movement of new cotton
In August be light shorts would probably
fare the same fate as did their brethren
in July. and apt to unless actual delivery
be made

DULLNESS COMES
NEAR THE RECORD
Handful of Room Traders Did
All the Operating
INTEREST WAS DORMANT
Sharp Rise Was Made at the Last,
When the Market Held Firm On
the Anal gamated Dividend
Announcement.
INTEREST WAS DORMANT

New York, July 19.-The years record
for duilness was approached in today's
business at the stock exchange The
tedious fluctuations represented nothing
but the shifting operations of handful
of room traders and they were not suffi-
Client to effect any appreciable movement.
Very few of the active stocks moved as
widely as a point from last nights level.
Interest in the market seemed entirely
dormant under the sharp rise at the last
when the market held firm on the Anal
gamated dividend announcement No less
than three meetings of corporation di-
rectors were scheduled for today to which
Importance had been attached in the
previous stock market discussion and
upon which speculative hopes had been
based or PROGRESSED. 1t was early an
nounced that the st. Paul meeting could
not be held on account of an inability
to secure a quorum of directors. 1t had
been predicted with the usual show of
confidence that the long expected finan-
cial plan for the construction OF the
Pacific coast extension was to be con-
sidered at this meeting and an official
announcement prepared.
The market received the report of the
abandonment of the meeting without
ripple. Special efforts had been made to
drum up a quorum of Union Pacific direc-
tors, but they attended to only routine
matters and left the decision of the next
dividend in the hands of the executive
committee.
Confident assertions had preceded the
meeting that a large extra disbursement
would be made out of the proceeds of
sales of the companys holdings Of Great
Northern preferred and Northern Pacific
stock. The day of dividend announce
ment on Amalgamated Copper is at
tended with more speculative excitement
in periods of activity in the market than
almost any other event The only spark
of animation that the market showed dur
ing the day followed the assembling OF
that company's directors.
Various predictions had been heralded
of the probable action ranging all the
way from a passage of the dividend, to

Ware & LeIand,s Market Letter.

Weather reports from the interior, and
especially from the eastern belt, were
alarming in the extreme.
Alabama sent in some very alarming
reports about overfiows. and South Caro-
lima crop reporters almost outdid them
selves In describing the terrible state OIL
affairs In that state.
All this news induced some little out
side speculation. As far as could be
Judged the outsiders were every one OF
them bulllsh.
With all this the market remained dull,
and 1t seems that the only thing that VIII
cause activity is the putting on the run
of the professional short interest.
While news from the belt was bullish ON
the whole, one or two kilograms from
south Texas were received, stating that
picking would become general south OF
San Antonio by next Monday.
Other kilograms were received which
said that a large August movement was
promised from Texas.
This was hardly bullish argument.
Cables were favorable and the English
market seemed more bullish than other
wise
A little more trading on the spot how
ever. would have been welcomed by local
bulls. The weather map showed consid-
cradle rain over the more central portions
of the belt.
Spots were In limited inquiry and yet
factors were observed rolling up samples,
which led to the belief that what spot
cotton could not readily be sold was going
on July contracts.

UNSETTLED DAY IN
COTTON MARKET
Fluctuations Were Irregular
During Days Session
SALES WERE $4,000 BALES
Private Predictions for Clearing
Weather In the South Were
Partly Responsible for the
Late Decline.

New York. July 19.-The cotton mar
ket was unsettled during today's ses-
sion with fluctuations Irregular. The close
was barely steady at a decline of 6
points to an advance of points, the
gains being on the more remote posi-
lions. Sales for the day were estimated
at $4,000 bales
The opening was steady at an advance
of to points and shortly afterward
all the active months were . to points
higher on covering of shorts and bull
support which was inspired by the firm
ness of the Liverpool market, reports of
a good spot demand, at firm prices, and
continued rains over the belt, accompa-
MED by crop damage reports from the
eastern belt, and few localities in the
central and western belt. At the advance
offerings increased and after the demand
from local shorts had been supplied the
market turned easier Fluctuations during
the middle session were very narrow but
toward the close the market acted quite
weak and unsettled with last prices at
the lowest level of the day August
showed the maximum loss. Private pre-
dictlons for clearing weather in the
south were partly responsible for the
decline, and there was no sign of bulls
supporting the market during the late
trading. Southern spot markets were
generally unchanged. The official forecast
called for showers in parts of the eastern
and western belts.
Receipts at the ports today 2242 bales

For the week $4,000 bales against 27,69
