MARKED STRENGTH
SHOWN IN COTTON
Heavy Buying Stimulated
by Continued Crop
Damage

New Orleans, September 2--The cot
ton market displayed marked strength
today on heavy buying stimulated bv
continued crop damage in the western
pelt through heat and drouth, the de-
partment of agriculture's report on con-
ditfon on August 25 Of 6S.2 per cent
and the census bureau report showing
record breaking consumption Of Amer
lean cotton for the season lust ended
of 1f,90S,000 bales, as against a cron
of less than 14,250000 bales. Shorts
bought covers freely but the bulk of
the buying was for long account. Much
puillsh talk was indulged in regarding
the condition of the crop in the west.
Inc forecast held out no hope of any
change in wether conditions
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were II to 19 points nm on
good cables and dry weather man.
Expectations OF bullish report on
condition at IL o'clock also caused ),
good volume of buying. Official reports
indicated that next to no rain fell in
the west over the holidays. By II
o CLOCK the advance was widened RI
~ to 81 points. After the report the
market stood Al to 43 points IN ar
which level longs were heavy sellers
TO feal1ze prohts and the market fell
on about 10 points. In the afternoon
the market went higher than ever. es :
tablishing new high levels for the sea-
son and finally landing So to n points
over last Fridays final figures, The
close was steady at a net gain of 81
TO 62 points.
The market was fairly active
throughout the session but no great
excitement attended the advance, which
was the widest the market has seen
in many months.

SENSATIONAL RISE
FOLLOWS REPORT
Both Trade Interests and
Spectators Heavy
Buyers

New York, September 2.-The govern
ment report making the condition of the
coming cotton crop only 6s.2 per cent COM
pared with 74s last year and 49, two years
ago, was followed by one of the most
sensational advances that has ever oc-
crfred on a government report day during
recent years private condition figures
rad prepared the trade for oulilsh re-
port. and the market had advanced very
rapidly since the middle of last month";
but the official figures proved even less
favorable than anticipated. and inspired
a general movement.
The south was credited with selling on
the advance, supposedly against the com
ing, but both trade interests and specu-
lators were heavy buyers, and whlie OF
ferings were heavy enough to cause slight
reactions the general tendency Oh the
market was upward December contracts
sold at 1894 in the late trading, prac-
tically the IS cents level. and 211 points
or s1055 per bale above the low record
OF August A.
Closing prices were or points off from
the best but the final tone was firm at
q net gain OF Oi u u pOhllS, as >o''f
pared. with the closing figures OF last
Friday. Local statisticians said that on
the basis of the basis acreage, the OF
ficial statement that 100 per cent at this
season of the year is equivalent to 2o2
pounds to the acre, today's figures point
ed mathematically, to a crop of not over
13,50o000 bales, and while these figures
did not seem to be at all generally ac-
oepted the action of the market certainly
suggested a considerable scaling down Of
average crop views. particularly as de-
terioration reports have continued to come
In, and the bulls claim that cotton has
lost ground since the government report
was compiled.
Liverpool made firm showing over the
local holidays. and the market here
opened firm at an advance of to 23
points. Prices sold 80 to 35 points net
higher before the government report was
issued and the market was extremely
active during the entire day. According
to New York figures the commercial crop
of 1928, II. 103,757 bales and the New Or
leans exchange estimated the worlds con-
sumption at 14.900.O0O bales. suggesting a
hig decrease in the worlds mill stocks
for the season.

SHORT EUROPEAN
CROP CAUSES RISE
Belief France Must Purchase
Literally From the L. S.
Sends Wheat Up

Chicago, September 2.-Bellef that
France would be obliged to purchase lib
orally from the United States today in
fuenced an advance In wheat. The mar
ket closed steady at a net advance of
tsc to &m5sc. Corn finished with a gain
of 1l4c to 1lsG15sc: oats up ss@1Ac to 7s@
1c. and provisions varying from 2Oc de-
cline TO a rise of 10c.
Firmfess of cables and lighter deliveries
than expected gave wheat bulls aid from
the start and prevented any important
reaction. Advices were that the Euro
pean crop as a whole would be only mod
have smaller out turn than last year,
the third successive shortage in that
country. In this connection 1t was point
ed out that field conditions In Argentina
had not been favorable for seeding, and
that South American competition with the
United States would to that extent be
minmized.
Sharp falling off in primary receipts
tended to strengthen bullish sentiment res
garding wheat. The total arrivals were
but little more than half those of a year
ago, and the two southwestern terminals
received less than one-thfrd as much as
at the corresponding time last season. A
decrease in the visible supply was another
element of strength, and so also was the
fact that export clearances were large.
Primary receipts of wheat 0ow days.,
2,42I000 bushels; year ago two days..
4,1S2000; seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour 0wo days. eaualled 1.396,000 bushels.
Reports of havoc from unseasonably dry
weather sent corn to new high records for
the season in the December and May
options. Absence of September deliv-
cries called attention foroibly to the very
light stocks, that heavy selling at the
advance failed to bring about any decided
setback.
Oats went higher with corn despite a
huge delivery for September. 100000
bushels The volume of trade was large,
principally changing of other holdings
to December.
In provisions the main feature was the
selling OF nearby and the purchase of
deferred deliveries by September longs.
There were heavy deliveries of lard and
ribs, fact which weakened thos COM
modities but did not affect pork.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. September 2.--(Special)
About month ago we called your at
tention to the enormous consumption Of
cotton and absence of any supply OF
goods, a phenomena deserving of the
closest attention. Today the consump-
tion is estimated at 14.S0,0o0 bales. 1t
was the consideration of this fact which
caused the advance after the bureau re-
port to the close. The bureau report it.
self was startling statement of the
deterioration which Is still in progress
over vast area. What 1t means is that
the consumption Will again surpass the
production, to what extent depends ON
the ruling price of cotton. Certainly the
outlook Is a serious one. Profit taking
should bring about a reaction and longs
have sold ali day on this idea without
checking the advance to the highest prices
In two years.
