REPORT.
ITS PUBLICATION CAUSED 4 SHARP
ADVANCE IN PRICE OF
COTTON.
This Years Crop Estimated at 100000
Bales.

New York, Aug. 2. Rapidly ris.
ing prices on the New York Cotton
Exchange followed the publication
Of the governments monthly con-
dition estimate, on the country's s
growing cotton crop at noon today.
An unfavorable report had been
expected, but the one telegraphed
from Washington was even worse
than the lowest expectation, and
prices for the staple rose in conse-
quence 81 bale for some options.
AS the report more than confirm
ed the most pessimistic impressions
| of the trade, and was regarded as
threatening a short yield. it was
followed by a general scramble to
buy. This sent prices up almost
instantly thirty points from Satur-
days closings, which were also the
quotations prevailing just before
the report was announced. All the
next crop options. from October to
March, which ranged from 1872 to
about 1888. jumped to 1866 and
12.70.
Then came reaction of ten
points on heavy profit taking sales
and efforts Of the bear crowd to
hold the rise in check. The influx
of buying orders from Wall street,
Chicago, New England points and
the South. as soon as the report
became known, was so great, how
ever, that the market gathered adj
ditonal strength in the later trad
ling, all the options on the list adj
yancing again with renewed activity
to the basis of about 12.F0.
The government report Of 71.9
per cent represented deteriora-
tion Of 2.7 per cent for the month,
and was a low record for this sea-
son of the year.
Experts in the trade declared
that the report was the poorest on
record in more than thirty years
for this time of the season. The
u
mathematical crop in prospect,
which they figure out from its per-
centages is about IL. .0OO, 900 bales,
with the weather conditions main
tanning q favorable average for the
remainder of the season. The low
est previous conditions on record
for July Is, to which average date
the crop is compiled, were rs in
1907 and a. 9 in 1905. In 1905 the
crop produced was only about 1O,-
450, 900, against IL 300, 900 two
years ago. The crop last year was
13. 500, 900 bales.
The trade has been expecting
boom in the dry goods business
this fall and winter, with the
worlds spinners' consumption as
likely to call for a crop of consider
| lably above IL, 500, 900. The boom
in the price to 13 cents may compel
such a curtailment OF consumption
that estimates on this point may
have to be reduced later in the.
season.

Recent investigation of the South
Carolina dispensary insides has
come near proving case of total
depravity. That the disclosures Of
graft and robbery of the State
treasury is reported to be giving
trouble to Tillman and his support
ers who set up and operated the
system that seemed ever on the
verge of a scandal outbreak is not
surprising. Evidence has been
obtained which number of the
men closest the senator will have to
answer in criminal proceedings.
That the case will be an issue in
State politics is certain. 1t re-
mains to be seen if his characteristic
aggressiveness and hold on the
plain people" will carry Senator
Tillman through the rising storm.
