COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August 3.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance or u
all points in response to higher ca bleS. Gov
erng and fresh buying for either a re-
action or a material advance, which had
the encouragement of rather less favor
able crop accounts, including talk of too
much rain and insect damage. The south,
particularly houses with New Orleans
connections. were sellers on the initial
bulge however, and while demand was
quite active the market soon became ner-
vous and unsettled, with prices easing off
TO within a point or two of Yesterday
closing figures
The southern offerings, however, APP
peared to be less active and less gen
eral than earlier in the week, and to-
ward midday the market developed
decidedly firmer tone on covering and
bull support. Rumors were circulating
that a strong bull pool had been form
ed and early sellers were disturbed
also by increasing crop damage reports
from the south. October contracts sold
up to 1115. the highest point reached
since the market crossed the eleven
cent level, and about IS points above
the closing figures of yesterday.

Taken as a whole, last week
was without a doubt one of the
best in the mining and marketing
of ore that the district has seen
in some time. While a big in
crease was not noted in the base
price offered, nevertheless aver
age values on all grades consid-
cred the week saw one of the
most substantial increases in
blende prices in many months.
While S45 has been offered as
basis price for 80 per cent metal
| lie zinc for several weeks, but
$3.50 and SAB was paid for the
greater amount of the ore and
but a few lots brought the base
price. 1t may be said that last
week an average price of $45 was
paid, which meant an enormous
increase in the total valuation of
ores shipped from the district.
Forty-fve dollars was paid gen.
orally throughout the district for
blende, some lots bringing better
prices. Some ore was sold in the
open market at SAT and few lots
of the higher grade blende
brought S4S.
More ore was sold on contracts
last week than for some time.
The American Lead and Zinc
Company purchased practically
all of the ore for their Kansas
Smelters on the contract basis.
The average price paid was SAT
20, in some instances much bet
ter prices being reported. With
this as basis, some extra good
grade stuff brought more than
$50.
Lead prices were about the
same for several weeks, but a
better demand was noted and
more ore was sold for $50 than
for some time. Previous to this
time much of the lead has been
disposed of for SIS and even S54.
However, $50 was the average
price for the week.
Calamine prices remained good,
SPA and SIS being the average
prices paid, but some better
grade ore brought as high as $50
and S33, a few sales being report
ed at those prices from the east
ern end of the district.
An interesting development in
the CRANKY part of the district
was the entrance of new buyer
into the field. The American
Metals Company shipped three
cars of ore from the camp to
cnaIters at Rartlesyille. Okla,

Further returns from the oper-
alton of the new mine of the Cor
son-Dodson Company at Hatten-
Vile show even better recoveries
than were at first indicated. A
record of Friday and Saturday
operations showed the ore to be
better than so per cent lead and
zinc. Out of 16s, 200 pounds of
dirt hoisted and milled the recov-
cry was 10000 pounds of lead
and "a, 900 pounds of zinc blende.
The ore was made in Is IL
hours run upon the mill. 1t is
the exceptional mine that yields
such a return as this and this be-
ginning at the Corson-Dodson
means that the camp is proving
to be as rich at the deep levels as
it did at the shallow levels. This
mine is the first of the mines that
are being developed at the deep
levels, but the successful drilling,
done on the ground previous to
the sinking of the shaft forecast
the richness of the new territory
and started a number of prospect
ors to work in the north end of
the field. Among these are the
Miami Royalty Company, Chap
man & Lennon and other large
operators.
