Ayery's Letter

Liverpool barely responded to the slight
advance in our market yesterday, and
was only to points higher at the
opening of our market today.
The governments weekly weather re-
port was decidedly bullish, and its pub
location was followed by rally of s to 10
points The trade, however, seemed To
be of the opinion that present prices dis
count all damage reports up to this time
and are awaiting further developments.
There was a runor of rain in south
Texas during the afternoon which caused
a decline of 10 to Is points from the high
levels reached during the forenoon.
The government issued advisory warn
ings of tropical disturbance of consid-
cradle intensity, which is apparently
moving toward the Yucatan channel. and
weather experts say unless it changes it's
course will move inland on the Texas
coast within the next two or three days.
The weekly weather report showed boil
weevil active in most sections. and stated
that the plant was not fruiting well.
Spots were generally unchanged
The market is a scalping affair at
present. and I advise buying on breaks.

aged IL years, went to recover bird
for his little girl cousin. His broth

the public that the marvellous recuper-
alive qualities of cotton will not as
sert themselves this year. The posi-
bility this season, however, to US,
seems remote. With poorly prepared
soil over good portion of the east
tern belt, With the early growth sub
jected to torrential rains. with grassy
fields, cool nights, washed out fertili-
zers and the crop at the present time
two to three weeks late, we fail to
see where justification for short sale
exists We think purchases on all mod

ing profits on sharp advances during
next few days. Oil still looks cheap to
u.s. When the pressure of refiners is
removed we think prices will advance
rapidly. We favor purchases of the
December option.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 16.-As the weather
bureau stated the existence of a storm
south of Jamaica moving west, north
west, apparently headed for the Yucca
tan channel. the trade felt that it was
well to wait for further information as
to whether the storm would disappear or
reach the Gulf coast. either west or east
of New Orleans.
AS result of this caution, the market
moved within a narrow range the fluc-
tuations being made on small transac-
lions. Private dispatches reported some
rains In eastern Oklahoma not given by
the government. New Orleans asked If
anything had been heard of pink boil
weevil in Texas. On the whole. the mar
ket Is waiting, should it rain in Okla
homa we would decline, otherwise the
trade might consider the situation as
calling for further advance.
