NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES.
LOCAL COTTON MARKET.
H. | B. BEERS COTTON LETTER. By Private Wire to c. o. Abercf0mbie

N~A~-A@AS-NV
 New Orleans July 3o.--The market con- tinues dull and inactive. prices having shift ed but little during the entire day. It is to be noted. however. is that the official re- port of further beneficial showers and low CT temperatures in all States except Texas and Oklahoma having little or no effect up
 The New York Journal of Commerce pub lished the last installment of its series of by n of M and the Territories being more promising than calculated upon This report was off set by the monthly crop condition report of the Southwestern Cotton Buyers Associa- tion of Texas. which placed the general av- craze of the state at 75. vs. 7o.3 last month and 90 last year.
 A bullish construction of the weekly gov ernment crop review tended to steady for while showers were more or less general m the central and eastern portions of the ficient. some districts having received no rain at alL which was generally the case throughout Texas and Oklahoma. It is not to be denied that the eastern half of the belt has received temporary relief by timely rains and lower temperatures. but this is on- ly passing influence and may be over shadowed in event of hot. dry weather con- tinuing west of the Mississippi river.
 Meanwhile the governments monthly crop day viii be the sn-important factor to be considered since sentiment throughout the world will probably be affected according to the probable sizea of tho crop it will indi- cate. The general opinion is that 1t will show an Improvement for the month of about six to. eight points by figuring about 7s or 80 in which. event the market would probably be sold s% 2
 Should such a development come to pass we would have those of our friends be pre- pared to- buy the market if any decline of importance be brought about. The old crop is a thing of the past. the new one much of an uncertainty. and as there Is no doubt as to the mills of the world, runafng on full time yield of less than 12.soo,o00 will probably be too small for next seasons re- quirements, consumption of the present sea- of American. This afternoon there was is- sued monthly crop condition report by a New York statistician. the improvement being placed at 5.1 points. general average 79.7 vs. 74.6 last month. This report points to a Bureau condition of about 77.1 which would compare with S2.9 last August. "A 9 year before last which was the lowest Au- gust average record and with a ten year average of about S2.6.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York; July 3o.-The stock market here had . period of unsettlement in the early dealinEs followed by ouister conditions with the course of events In London to which
 this market had become peculiarly sensitive
 by reason of the developments at that cen- ter yesterday. Before the recovery there
 set in. British consols had extended the low record touched yesterday by selling at s2h.

 authorities continue to speak in tone Of great confidence of the maintenance of prosperous conditions and a fulr demand for products and less reliance Is coming to he pa,ced on relief from that cause for the expanded demands for money and credits The weekly bulletin of the weather bureau on the crops reported unfavorable conditions in some sections. but the immediate action of the grain markets today deprived the showing of influence on stocks. Some Of the buying of stocks was for London ac- count and marked the covering of Americans there for continental account, especially Missouri. Kansas and Texas. which was one of the features of strength.
 The trunk line stocks were relieved from some of the special pressure from which they have suffered lately. especially Erie
