ADVANCE NEAR TIE CLOSE

New York, August 31.-After making new low record for the bear movement on October contracts during the early session. the cotton market steaded up on covering, closing steady at decline of four points on September, but general ly net unchanged to three points higher. Sales for the day were estimated at 9O,- 900 bales. The market opened steady at a decline, of three to six points owing to weak cables and good weather in the south. There was a slight rally during the first few minutes on covering but prices soon weakened again under sell ing by spot houses. Stop loss orders were caught below $50 for October and that position eased off to S.43, or 12 points net lower, while later months rul- ed about to points net lower. At this level, offerings became less aggressive, and later the market rallied quite sharp ly with October selling up to S56 in the late session on renewed covering, talk of a bullish weekly weather report to- morrow, and some foreign buying. The close was within point or two of the best. Four private crop condition re- ports were issued during the day, indi- eating a deterioration for the month or from 4.50 to nearly eight per cent. The figures reported by these authorities ranged from 75.5 to 79.5 per cent. A can vass of 75 members of the New York cotton exchange resulted in an average estimated condition of 77.5 compared with 83.9 last month.
 Receipts at the ports today 'l2,f4S against IF, ,O46 last week and 9,O0l last year. For the week 100000 bales against n. .496 last week and 4S, ,022 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans 2oy' against 23 last year and at Houston b. O34 against 4,107 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 31.-(Special. With the bureau report expected at noon to- morrow the market today dlsregarded the depressed condition of the Liverpool mar ket. Abroad the end of the August deal was marked by large tenders by mer- chants who, finding small demand from spinners in Lancashire, delivered their stock to the pool rather than carry it over the turn of the cotton year. We have expected an increase in the demand from Manchester on the basis of present prices, as they should under normal con- ditions be doing at least a moderate bus mess, and we still look for a better spot demand in Liverpool. The recovery from the decline here Is based upon this belief and a general desire to have few trans actions open over the September bureau report, which is expected to show de- cline of from to z points.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans August S1.-Cotton spots were quiet with prices unchanged Mid ding 9isc. Sales were 3S5 bales on the spot and six to arrive.
 Futures opened steady, l to points below the close Saturday, which was about as due on the cables. As the day before the issuance of the September bureau report on the condition of the growing crop up to August 25, the mar ket was unusually dull. Usually preced- ed by active short covering over the bureau, today found this only partially in evidence. Buying was spasmodic Ar terward the market reacted to some ex- tent on bullish condition figures issued by a ginners association, which declar- ed that there was deterioration during August much greater than generally be- lieved No factor of sufficient import ance presented itself to influence the market very much either one way or the other and at the close which was steady, the active months were two points above the close Saturday.

ket. The days developments were not important, but were generally on the side of keeping up confidence in the specula- tive outlook.
 The international exchange situation is receiving increasing attention as bull wark of the money position here, which Is a mainstay of the speculative posi- tion. Foreign exchange exports agree that gold could be secured freely for the New York market on any evidence that use could be found for 1t in our bank ing reserves. The continued redundancy of the local money market is all that prevents our strong control of the inter- national exchanges from becoming oper- ative. Besides the unusual excess of merchandise exports from this country, which is computed as probably $400000,- GOO for the seven months including Au- gust, the usual summer borrowings of the New York market abroad have been on an usually light scale in view of the liberal supply of money in the home mar ket.
 The so-called concealed trade balances against us, has been lass than usual, ow- ing to smaller expenditures by our travel CTS in foreign lands, although this was offset in part by the tide of emigration, which rose above that of immigration for that period. The depression in the shipping trade also has reduced the amount of our bill to foreign carriers. Finally, foreign investors have taken freely of our securities during the per- iod of low prices and have shared large ly in subscriptions to new bond issues by railroad companies. It is taken for granted that the heavy accumulations of reserves in European banks are in prep aration for forthcoming government loans, especially a Russian loan. No doubt is felt, however, that a rise in in terest rates here by reason of interior withdrawals for crop moving, or in- creased business activity, or indeed, for speculative employment of funds, would draw gold from Europe up to the point where interest rates there would rise to a level attractive enough to turn the tide of the movement again.
 The days strength was shown mostly in industrial specialties including the cop per group and the New York public util- ities The railroad list was inclined to lag in spite of the leadership of the Har- ri1nan Pacifics. Southern Pacific raised it's high record price again. United States steel, preferred, at 1121s, sold practically at a record price since the dividend or 1sl per cent was deducted this month. The stock sold at 113A in January of 1906 The late advance in wheat and fore casts of severe decline in cotton condi- tions during August, without allowance for recent storm damage, contributed to the late reaction in stocks and to the easy closing The days net rises were small Bonds were strong. The special strength of the Japanese bonds was due to the adoption of the retrenchment measures by the imperial Japanese gov ernment Total sales, par value, S,2O6 900.

BULLS KEEP FIRM
 HOLD ON STOCKS Prices Advance But With More
 Moderation CONFIDENCE IN OUTLOOK
Punishment Inflicted Upon Bears in the Market Last Week Has Had It's Effect and Prices Will Stay Up
 On High Ground.

New York, August 31.-The bull party easily demonstrated it's control of the market again today, but it showed dis position to use it's power with modera- tion. There was nothing sensational about the market and dealings were on a restricted scale. Any occasional down ward tendency of prices, however, was restrained and there were sufficient points of positive strength in the mar <et to serve as adequate sustaining forces. There was a fair degree of real izing conducted at various times during the day, especially during the execution of buying orders at the outset by com mission houses, representing the accum- ulation of business over the end of the week. There was a good deal of curios- 1ty in regard to this end week commits sion house business and the reliance placed upon 1t as index of growth of public interest in the market.
 There was some fear that the appre- hensons growing out of the investiga- tion of stock exchange methods by the board of governors, now in progress might have the effect of lettering outside interest in the stock markets. It's in fluence was felt, it was believed, in the small amount of the new business com ing from outside sources. A growth of such business was not lacking, however, and it was taken advantage of to eff feet some realizing sales, marking the conservative disposition of the control ing bull element. That element was practically unopposed In the days trans actions, the bear party being almost non existent, according to the common rumor of the best informed opinion about the stock exchange. The punishment dealt the bears last week and those short was hot lost sight of, and served as con- tinuing influence of intimidation against operations on the short side of the mar
