WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New York, Sept 13.-Corton IS ac-
I've ana ieit the effects Of heavy SELL
ing Tor both sides Of the account
large spot concerns have sold freely
ana Tree offerings in Liverpool of the
actual cotton have also been not
worthy feature. Also Waldorf Astoria
interests have attacked the market
lerslstently and fiercely, Offering
blocks of from 1000 to 25 600 bales
az time. The effect has been 10
d1slouge good many holdings among
smaller traders which in the aggre-
gate proved large, while some large
tio1olngs nave also, it is understood
Ie1as points have been large. The
ginning figures issued by the census
bureau evidently impressed many as
relatively large. Liverpool has sold
mere. So have Wall street and west
ern houses. Memphis and apparent
~ the Southwest have at times sold
freely. From many parts of the belt
favorable crop reports have been re-
celVed including sections where dry
not weather was supposed to be do
lng harm. Liverpool spot sales have
Teen small.
Bears contend that the crop looks
like 100000 bales and that with
supplies carried over from last year
and increased crops in India and
A6SpI SlOShS Will Ut SO liberal Inal
prices must decline On the other
hand many reports insist that a good
deal OF shedding is resulting from
continued hot dry weather over much
or the belt, that the deterioration
usual in August is going on now and
that the crop is not likely to exceed
l 500, 900 bales if indeed it reaches
such figures. Bulls maintain that the
indications point to a worlds con-
sumption Of American cotton Of IA
100000 bales or more, SO that the
spinnable quality of the last crop was
not SO large as has been generally
supposed and that with general trade
awakening to greater activity than for
five years past on both sides of the
Atlantic, and America raising 20 per
cent of the worlds crop there is
every likelihood Of higher prices es-
pecially after the first pressure of the
receipts is over. They think that the
short interest has been much increas-
ed, that much if not all the weak long
interest has been eliminated and that
the tecbn nical speculative position to
say nothing if anything else has been
latterly greatly improved. Parts Of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia and Alabama need rain. Tenn
peratureS in most states have recently
been noticeab1y above normal.

BRADSTREF.T'S REPORT.

New York. Sept. 13.-Bradstreets
tomorrow will say:
Trade has lost none of its wanted
vim, and activity abounds. though it
is modified in degree in some parts Of
the Southwest where excessive heat
has prevailed, while being accentnat
ed throughout the West and North
west. Everywhere buying Is predicat-
ed on the uniformly good influences
that record or close to record crops
will generate. and financiers and mer
chants are without notable exception,
exceedingly optimistic
House trade, especially in dry goods
and kindred lines, has been of larger
propprtions One OF the best evi-
dences of expected demand is furnish
ed by the urgent calls Of interior ner-
chants for prompt shipments.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending Sepfem-
