Aberoromble q Co.'s Market Letter,


All the markets in general today re-
Elected unfavorable political developments
in Russia, the official PRONUNCIATION dis
solving Parliament having given cause
for uneasiness lest civil war be the result
of same, the government depending solely
upon the loyalty of the army. But for
this development there was every reason
to look for a better cotton market today.
There were further rains reported from
all sections of the belt and weekly press
reviews were less promising than one week
ago, there being a general complaint OF
too much moisture in all cotton growing
states. and as result further deteriora-
ton is reported in nearly all sections.
the New Orleans Picayune answering for
the southwest, the Memphis Commercial
Appeal for the central belt and the Allan
ia Constitution for the South Atlantic
states.
1t must be borne In mind that the crop
cannot afford to suffer such deterioration
II large yield is to be made of the linn
tied acreage of this year, and the wants
of the world are not to be lost sight of
for a moment. for while II is true that
spinners' takings may not be more than
II, 800 900 bales of American for the past
season, actual consumption is apt to fig
ure more than 12,000 900 bales. BY the end
of August spinners' reserves will have
been reduced to minimum, the supply in
the south having been about exhausted
and while the worlds available of Ameri-
can will be about 900 bales on Sep

such stock will be required to pro-
hibit manipulation at the end of next
season.

prices in keeping with steady cables.
There was nothing official concerning the
rumored passage of the valorization bill,
however, and the market essed off dur
ing the middle session under selling by
rcent buyers in an effort to take prices
and prices ruled about to 10 points
net lower In the afternoon a cable was
received from Brazil stating that the
valorization bill had passed the lower
house and would go to the senate tomor-
row. but this was followed by no improve
ment In prices, although there was an
increased demand toward the close which
was supplied by continued realizing. The
market was finally steady at a net decline

Ware G. LeIand's Market Letter.

Cotton developed a weak undertone to
begin the week with and prices fell off
materially before noon.
The bears were more in evidence than
for some weeks past and INDUCED in
some rather free hammering.
What is beginning to be known as the
younger crowd led in the selling and they
appeared to be ready to furnish buyers
with everything on the boards from July
to March.
The features of the morning were main
ly extremely bearish. Cables were very
unfavorable reporting a decline in the
English future market, where a slight
advance was due and indicating a very
dull spot market. News concerning the
Russian situation was pessimistic in the
extreme. Russian bonds were weak on the
Paris bourse and press dispatches said
that what was practically revolution
was we'll under way all over Russia
Late in the morning Theodore II. Price
came. out with a crop estimate of II, 232, :
900 bales or 100000 larger than his last
estimated. This. together with the fact
that he was credited with having sold
$1,000 bales of futures during the morning
made the talent in general believe that
he was about to become an active bear
The weekly crop reports gathered to-
gether by the press were on the whole
rather buIlish and indicated deteriora-
ton in Louisiana, North Texas. portions
of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
On the whole private reports to us from
highly reliable correspondents were more
favorable than otherwise. 1t is hard to
believe that the crop has suffered any ma
terial deterioration, the belt over since
the last government report. The news
from Russia will probably dominate the

A fertilizer man ufacturing company donated a supply of their product and the land has been plowed and put in condition for culti- vation.
