MARKET LETTER.

Developments during the past week
were such as to favor a higher level
for values, which was realized, quota
tions being about 81 per bale above
prices at the close of last week.
The passing of the senate bill to re-
form trading in cotton for future de-
livery on the New York Cotton Elk
change, in order to conform with the
system inaugurated in New Orleans
some years ago. as was suggested by
the government, has made a deep i'm
preston on the trade, since such law
will remove all the features that were
Objectionable to the South. 1t is prob
able that If the senate bill passes the
House, the law will be made operative
September list next, in order to make
it applicable to the new crop.
Realizing that when the new law be-
comes effective, all manipulative fea-
lures will be removed from the market,
European spinners have been constant
buyers of new crop deliveries at the
big discount prevailing in the Liverpool
market, as last seasons consumption
of nearly 100000 bales of American
cotton will probably be repeated this
season on the basis of about 10 cents
for middling.
There is too much uncertainty at
tending the making of a large crop,
and very large yield will be required
next season, for spinners to depend
upon climatic conditions to produce
their large requirements for next sea-
son; consequently, they are eager buy
ers of new crop deliveries, especially
on depressions, with which to protect
their future engagements.
Reliable advices from the interior
are to the effect that while prepare
lions for the new crop in South At
lantic states are we'll advanced, plant.
ing in that section is at least two
weeks late. In Mississippi, where they
had floods the past week, planting will
be four weeks late, and from various
sources in the western belt planting
is said to be from two to four weeks
late, especially in some parts of Texas
and Arkansas.
The trade is much concerned over
reports of poor seed in the central and
western portions of the cotton region
this year, particularly in Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Texas, and it
is feared that poor or irregular stands
will be the result of the defective
seed, even though favorable weather
should set in. In the eastern half of
the belt the seed is very good, and no
is entertained on that
score.
Irregular stands usually result in
spotted crop, and an irregular crop is
generally productive of a small yield.

the various counties in whose behalf
these special acts were passed took
the initial steps toward floating the Sc
curities. and the county bond market
promises to be quite lively during the
next few weeks. In a majority of in
stances the interest rate was fixed at
five per cent and, owing to the tight
ness of the money market, it is feared
that some trouble will be encountered
in floating the bonds at this rate.
