the CONSEQUENT danger of it's bringing
more rain and damage in the South At
Iantic states. The market held steady
at the moderate recessions from the
highs and closed from to points net
advance over yesterdays final fgures.
The spot markets were marked up
again at several points and the differ
ences between october and December
narrowed still further today.
The real strength of the market Is the
dearth of old cotton. the extraordinary
demand and the late movement OF new
cotton.
The market still looks healthy to me-
though moderate recessions after SUCH
advances must be expected as a matter
of course. Care should be exercised not
to buy on the bulges, or, in other words,
don't climb for it.
Careful and judicious marketing OF the
new cotton by the farmers will have
everything to do with the maintaining OF
present prices and further enhancement.
If all put some arbitrary figure, such as
is or is cents as their goal, the A;onse-
auence will be when the price gets there
everybody will want to sell at the same
time and the price win fall. My ad-
vice is to sell little now, little at
Is cents and little on further advances,
and by so doing maintain the price and
the demand.
Believe in much higher prices If those
who grow the cotton will do their part.

vancing sharply on demand from the

We opened with American spiIners, Wall
street buying and the few remaining COW
ering. At the advance this demand was
supplied, and as there are no short sell
ers the cotton must have come from
those who have been long. Up to the
present time there has been little hedge
selling. but today the volume increased.
The market felt the effect of these sales.

COTTON PRICES DROP.
ON SELLING Squirt.
General List Closed Steady
at a Net Advance of | to
Z Points

New York, August 22-An early ad-
vance to 14.s3c for December contracts
in cotton met increased offerings today
and there were moderate reactions with
December selling off to 14.77c and clos
ing at 14.S1c. The general list closed
at net advance of to points.
There was renewal of the buying
movement which had been in progress
late yesterday at the opening this
morning and first prices were to II
points higher. Firmness in Liverpool
and the continued dry weather in the
southwest promoted the demand, which
carried October contracts up to 14.9Oc
and January to 1890 during the first
few minutes, or more than half cent
above the closing quotations of last
Saturday. Realizing was very heavy at
this level while there were rumors of
increased southern selling and also that
mill hedges were being liquidated
around the ring. This promoted reac-
tionary sentiment while scattered SELL
ing was also encouraged by an idea
that the cooler weather indicated for
Oklahoma might cause showers of suf-
ficient Importance to relieve drouthy
conditions. The official western belt
forecast held out no definite promise of
rain, however, and after reactions of
some or points, the market f1rmed
up again on a renewal of bull support
and covering. Reports that another
tropical storm was moving northwest
ward from the Bahamas seemed partly
responsible for the buying, which was
further stimulated by reports that
prominent Chicago authorities placed
the condition of the crop at only SIS per
cent and thought that prospects hardly
points to yield in excess of last year.
This rally carried prices back to about
the high point of the morning but Of
ferings again increased above 14.90c
for December and prices reached the
lowest point of the day in the late trad
ing until continued realizing and scat
tired selling, which was encouraged by
private reports of showers in the south
west. October sold at 14.73c and January
at 1481c in the late trading with the
general list working back to or shade
under last nights closing figures. Clos
ing prices were to points up from
the lowest on final furry of cover
ing, probably inspired by uncertainty
as to the showing of tomorrow's Wealth
er map.

New Orleans. August Embarked firm
ness was displayed in the early trading
in cotton today and prices were sent up
IL to 16 points to new high levels for
the present campaign on the long side.
The advance. however. was met by ex-
tremely heavy profit taking, which soon
checked it and brought about a reaction.
During the greater part of the session
prices gradually sagged and late in the
day stood / to points under yesterdays
close on the most active months. At the
close the market steadied again on fresh
buying for long account and last prices
were at a net gain for the day of to
points
A sensationally good Liverpool market,
continued drouth in the western belt, the
prospects that Rumania would join the
allies and the warning of tropical storm
over Porto Rico, the direction of which
was uncertain, were the features that
stimulated the buying. Some attention
also was paid to private condition re-
port of 65 per cent of the normal show
ing genuine loss for the month of IL

15-cent mark for the first time in several
years.
Spots were quoted IL points higher, at

that some of the most recent prominent

carried prices down IA to II points from

advices indicated the only rain today
was at McAlester, Okla, with the bal
ance of Texas and Oklahoma cloudy and
hot However, the market has had a
sensational advance The situation from
our viewpoint does not warrant any ma
terial recession, but it is quite possible
that Texas and Oklahoma rains, if heavy
and widespread, might inspire local liqui-
dation on large scale and bring about
temporarily lower levels. We believe
however that big interests are likely to
enter the market aggressively on any
fair recession.
