WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Banking Interests We'll Pre- pared to Finance Cotton
 Movement

New York. August 6.-A steader tone has developed in the cotton market since the publication of the government re- port making the condition of the crop I0.s per cent against S03 per cent the previous month and 7S.5 per cent the lO-year average. Few traders, it appeared had expected so severe a deterioration in the prospect, and a feeling that drouthy conditions had caused a further falling orr since the official data were collect ed added somewhat to the bullish ln- fluence of the figures Good rains in eastern and central sections of the belt checked the advance and caused mod crate midweek reactions but dry wealth CT continued in the southwest and the rather more bullish average of senti- ment was also encouraged by the stead mess of Liverpool the large spot sales reported in the markets there and the continued absence of any hedge selling against either remaining old crop or prospective new crop supplies. The bulk of the buying on the advance of about SS per bale from the low prices of last week has been attributed to covering of shorts. much of it having come through houses with Liverpool connections and supposed to he for the purpose of un- doing old straddle accounts. These ac- counts are said to have been accumulated in the market here at difference of rom D 10 loO points and the buying is supposed to have been largely in the way of realizing at the prevailing wider differences. Mathematical deductions from the governments condition figures indl- eating a probable crop of around 12.5 e 900 bales including linters have not been entirely accepted in local circles, owing partly to a disposition to question the accuracy of reduced acreage estimates and the market showed somewhat re- p.Af ing as a result of reiterated predictions that cotton would be declared contra band. and private reports of rain in the southwest. Local spot dealers con- tinue to report a very slight demand for actual, however, and bearish arguments have been chiefly based upon the large carry-over and approaching new crop re- cepts. although banking interests are reported we'll prepared to finance the movement

A Dry Witness

From Judge.
 Two men had been arrested in a dry town for drinking and the prosecuting witness was on the stand.
 You say" said the attorney for the defense that you saw the men in the field drinking?'
 "Yes. sir, I did.'
 Was the field fenced?'
 "Yes, sir"
 "Where were you%
 "On the far side of the fence"
 "Was there board off that you could see through?'
 No, sir"
 "Was there a knothole in the fence?'' "No, sir"
 The attorney braoed himself for the crushing question that he had ready to launch at the victim whom he thought he had so adroitly cornered
 "Now," he said. banging the table, will you tell the court how you could see two men drinking in a field sur- rounded by fence with no boards off and never knothole in it?"
 "Yes, sir" said the witness.
 Well tell It." commanded the attor- ney, impatiently.
 "It was barbed wire fence"

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. August 6.-(Special.) )-In Eng land the demand for cotton continues al advancing prices. the improvement in Liv- erpool being surprise to this market. where the feeling is bearish on the idea that cotton cannot permanently advance under existing conditions in Euroue. No attention is paid to the probable large consumption this season or to the require ments of what might be termed the bar barrie world outside of Europe. who have practically used up their supplies of cot ton goods All eyes are centered upon the expected pressure of cotton when it comes to market, though 1t is evident that We are entering a period of increasing consumption and decreasing supplies If present crop prospects do not improve The advance of the morning was lost in an unconfrmed report that cotton would be declared contraband of war. Mean while the consumption of cotton for mu- nitions of war probably exceeds the con. sumption of cotton in Germany.
