WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.

New York. Sept. 14.-Latham. Alex

a sharp break this week on liquida-
ton of accounts following the wind
ing up of the bull campaign Of the
season Just past reports Of improved
weather conditions in the Southwest
accompanied the slump, but We're not
considered 10 be responsible for it,
According to the most trustworthy adj
vices. the situation in Texas is still
serious, as the deficiency in rainfall
for the past two weeks in the south
western part of the state has caused
a practical failure OF the crop in that
section In the eastern and northern
parts a fair crop Is locked for, but the
yield for the entire state is not gen
orally expected to be much, if any, in
excess OF last years even under most
favorable conditions for the remainder
of the season. In the states east of
the Mississippi the crop is holding its
recent improvement. and only an early
frost would materially cut down the
yield estimated by the government in
its latest report. The fact that the
spinners of the world are practically
bare of supplies makes it probable
that prices will not have any material
decline fro mthe present level as the
latest conservative estiamtes indicate
a crop Of not more than 12.000.00O
bales. which. in the opinion of promi-
nent trade interests, would make the
staple worth better than he OF
course any further deterioration or
reduction OF the yield would enhance
its value. We therefore consider it adj
visable TO buy cotton on the weak
spots"
