WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.

New York, Sept 19.--On the decline
of last week the cotton market APP
pears to have been pretty thoroughly
Inundated, and although 1t has been
dull and narrow for the greater part
of this week, prices have shown q dis
tinct tendency toward recovery. While
there has been no material change in
the crop situation, our advices ndi-
cate moderate Improvement in mos
sections of the belt since the first OF
the month.
In Texas the bolls have opened pre-
maturely as result Of the hot wealth
err and absence of rain during August,
and receipts have been unusually
heavy from that section. but elsewhere
the crop is about two weeks late, and
while picking is becoming more gen.
eral now, receipts from the eastern
sections of the belt are lighter than
had been expected up to this time
Owing to the slowness of the move
ment and the demand from domestic
and foreign spinners, all offerings
have been readily taken. This &C
counts for the strength of the South
ern spot markets. where prices are
still above a profitable shipping par
itv with New York. AS a result o.
this situation local stocks here are un
der 10000 bales at present.
There Is a good demand from spin

OPEN LETTER TO
CORN CLUB BOYS.
Mr.. Yeaser Gives Directions for Pre-
pairing Exhibits.

To the Brazos County Boys Corn
Club:
If you have not already selected
your corn for the corn show, you
should do so now. Remember that 1t
is very import ant and you should be
very careful in making the selection.
First. try and have all ears the same
length and circumference. Select one
year that you think will win and then
compare all others with il and have
all as near alike as possible. Each
| ear should not be less than seven
Inches around, and not longer than
ten or eleven inches, with good long
grains. All should be OF the same
color. except in the mixed corn. Don't
be afraid that you will select too much
corn. as there are very few good show
ears Remember when you leave
Brazos county you win have to show
against some eight thousand boys, and
they all wart to win. You should
bring some extra ears, as some will
get damaged in Judging. and when
YOU come on the 9Th to enter your
corn bring plenty 10 fill in in place of
damaged ears Now. boys, be sure and
bring your corn; do not be afraid to
show 1t. You do not know who will
win until the corn is judged. II is not
always that the largest corn wins.
You always have showing. Now
boys. be sure and come and see that
all the family and your neighbors
come. 1t will be a lesson that viii DO
you good and one you win not forget
soon.
And anything else you have, bring
lit along TO help the show, as we, ex
pect large crowd. Come early and
STAY all day. Bring your corn by
lo'clock on October G, as all corn VII
be judged on the 9Th, the day before
the show. so when you come on ths
: l7th you viii know who wins.

KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept. d.
Three hundred and twenty-one cars Of
quarantine cattle arrived here last
week. Heavy supplies from native and
Western territory were received at all
the markets, which gave the balance

clined all around last week. Quaran.
tine steers lost 10000 here. Cows
held nearly steady here. good ones

with a top of S4.10. Calves also made
a small gain at the end Of the week.
The supply today is 120 ear loads in
quarantine division; market steady to
l0c lower. Good runs of cattle ap-
peared at all the markets today, and
buyers continued to press their advan-
tage. Country buying Is extra large
and some grades of stock steers are a
little higher. than week ago. Killers
have quit competing on fleshy feeders
az there are plenty of cattle 70 go

ers are getting their feeders 30c

THE COTTON MARKET.

Liverpool opened to 8 points
higher than due and held these figures
throughout the session. American
markets responded to Liverpool's good
cables and opened to 6 points up.
AT noon call ii was A points up. finally
closing 10 points up from last night.
The advance in the future market the
past two days Is probably due to Sep
tember shorts covering, as there is n,
other bullish feature in the market
just now.
The spot market is rather sluggish
the demand not being as brisk as two
or three weeks ago. However, we must
realize the fact that the old cotton
bali is throwing cotton on the marke;
at these prices. which fact will hold
spot prices down regardless of the
future market. The Bryan spot mar
ket was quoted today at IL 1916
basis middling. Receipts today were
normal.

ners and the leading spot houses for
the new crop on recessions below l3c,
although the spot dealers have been
hedging their purchases Of October by
sales OF January pending the receipt
of more definite data on the size OF
the new crop.
Estimates of the yield have not
changed materially since the issuance
of the government report. and unless
unusually favorable conditions obtain
for the remainder Of the season crop
not greatly exceeding 100000 bales
is expected. An early frost or any
other unfavorable development that
would reduce this estimate would
start buying movement that would
carry prices much higher, as present
prices are considered low If no more
than 100000 bales are raised.
We favor the purchase Of cotton OF
all recessions for the immediate fu
ture.
