MISCELLANEOUS MARKETS
Cotton Market

NEW YORK Aug. 29.-Sensational as the
fluctuations in the cotton market have been
psgn which started last winter they faded
into insignifcance when compared with the big
Jump IN t6e price OF august contracts thls
having sold at 16.0Tc Friday morning. the
first sale Of August this morning was at 16-e5c
and inside half hour the shorts were trying TO
buy at l9c pound $1,000 per bale) over Satur-
days close and at the highest figure reached
since the civil war.
There were frequently % and 80 points he
tween sales at 20 cents per pound, nearly SIG
per bale above the closing figure of Saturday
any contract during the famous bull season Of
19O3O4- ". p. Brown. the floor leader of the
bull party. offered TO sell 100 600 August. This
relieved the strain under which the market had
been laborns.
Several OF the big local spot people sold when
they found that the bulls willing TO give
the shorts cotton at 20c per pound and the price
dropped back to IS. zoe, almost rapidly as
it had advanced earlier in the day.
The market was very nervous late in the day,
the renewal Of the demand of August shorts
sending the price up from Is. 20c, the low point
of the reaction. to 1890. The market closed
steady at 1919 2s3 points above the clos
ing figures of Saturday
NEW YORK. Aug 29.-Hutton's wire says
The bulls were absolutely in control of August
this morning and il is the opinion of many
traders they might as we'll have put the prices
TO 25c as zoe. Considering everything many
think that the bull leaders showed great moder-
alton when they entered the ring with offer
OF 200, 600 bales at 2oc, checking the advance at
that figure.
The general idea st the moment is that with
August out OF the way the crops viii now
begin 20 sag TO lower levels under the weight
Of the movement from the new crop. Contrary
10 this general belief, il is opinion that the
advance viii continue in September and that
the new crop options are now purchase for
higher levels in the near future. based on the
fact that these options already selling at a
substantial discount when compared with the
present price OF cotton in Texas. where the
movement has already assumed fair proper
tions. on account OF the lateness of the crop in
the eastern belt cotton can not move in volume
until the latter part Of September and until
this cotton is available. the world viii have
TO depend upon the Texas movement entirely.
Cotton closed quiet: mddlng uplands. 10. Ijc;
middling gulf zoe. Sales. 4.979 bales.
