 colonel admitted. "The last time l tried was many years ago on ranch In North Dakota where we had only condensed

the COTTON MARKET.
MARKET OF WEEK AFFECTED
BY WEATHER REPORT.
SpOtty Condition RcpOrtcd-Belief is
Prevalent That Years Crop WIZ
Not Exceed 100000 Bales.

New York, Aug. 12.-Texas and it's
drought has been the chief topic in
the cotton trade this week. No rain
worth mentioning has fallen in the
section where it is needed most, that
is in the central and southern dis
tricts, and there is a general belief
that further deterioration of the crop
has taken place as temperatures have
been reported daily, at many sta
tions. of from 100 to 1O7 degrees.
The effect of these conditions has
been to cause active buying and a
further rise in the price of the new
crop months. August has moved up
in comparison with the new month
crop, but interest in that month has
been small. Unfavorable reports are
still being received from some parts
of the eastern belt. Despite the pre-
valence, most of the time for a fort
night of favorable weather condition,
the crop in some sections is still said
to be small and late. Reports of
spotty conditions of the fields are up-
animous. Some take the ground that
over three-quarters of Texas there
has been considerable decline in
condition of the crop since the date
Of the last government report.
The belief still exists among many
that the total yield is certain to fall
below 100000 bales, unless excep-
tionally favorable weather conditions
prevail during the remainder of the
growing and picking season. The re-
ports of precipitation caused active
selling for both sides of the account
1t is a nervous weather market.
Over the region east of the Missis-
sippi the weather for the week has
been favorable and reports continue
to be received from not a few of
marked Of improvements in the crop
outlook.
The spot markets at the South
have been quiet Liverpool spot
transactions on most days have been
small and trade news of late rather
less firm. At times the market has
acted on an overbought manner. The
speculation is mainly professional.
outside public gives it wide berth,
owing to the prices.
The new crop movement is in
creasing, but spinners, foreign and
domestic. have bought freely in the
week. Houses with Southwestern
connections have made purchases and
there has been active covering.

clining at one time on lower cables
