Ayery's Letter

Liverpool was very irregular and
excited this morning, prices on the
opening being as much as 45 points
higher, but quickly sold off and the
close was at net decline of 2 points
to an advance of 8 points, as against
20 to % points higher, due to meet
the advance in our market on Satur-
day.
Our market opened at an advance of
s to IL points but sold off 80 points
or more on realizing prospects for rain
and cooler weather over the western
belt This was followed by quick ad-
vance which met further selling and it
was a see-saw affair throughout the
remainder of the day.
At the finish values showed a loss
of 80 to 40 points from Saturdays close.
The strike situation Is said to be
very grave ard foreign political de-
velopments are unfavorable. This, to-
gether with the fact that we have
had a phenomenal advance in cotton
during the past month. with practically
no reaction, places the market in a
very unsatisfactory and uncertain po-
sition.
The Journal of Commerce showed
crop deterioration of about 10 points
in both Arkansas and Louisiana and
will probably make bullish showing
for Texas and Oklahoma tomorrow
There is some uncertainty as to wheth-

Coffee Market

New York, August 2S.-An early ad-
vance in coffee futures was followed
by reactions as result of realizing
and the appearance of n few selling
orders from trade sources. The open
ing was 10 to IL points higher, with
March selling at $500 and May at
$3.50 on the call or back to about the
best level reached on the bull move
ment of late last week on a renewal
of covering and support from Wall
street and cotton trade sources. Of
ferings soon increased, however not
withstanding reports of higher cost
and freight quotations and the market
eased off to 9.42c for March and 9.57c
for May in the late trading under real
izing which may have been prompted
by the severe break in the cotton mar
ket The closing was net unchanged

MOVEMENT
SENDS COTTON DOWN
Contracts Break About 81 a
Bale, But List Closes
Steady

New York. August 2S.-After MAX
ing new high records early today. cot
ton broke more than half cent with
15.49c under heavy general liquida-
ton That delivery closed at $3.50 and
the general list closed steady at a net
decline of % TO % points.
The market opened firm at an adj
vance of 10 TO 16 points in response
to sensational early advance in Liv-
erpool. Private cables reported A
scare of trade shorts and buying on a
big advance in Egyptian cotton, but
shortly after the local opening Liver
pool suddenly turned weak. Within a
period of 80 minutes the price of Oc
November contracts there broke
the equivalent of 81 a bale and this
was sufficient to start a general SELL
ing movement in the local market
After the close abroad offerings slack
ened and a decline of IA to II points
from Saturdays final figures was fol-
lowed by rallies of several points on
covering and bullish crop reports
Houses with English connections were
sellers on the bulge, however. while
ports of southwestern selling on bet
ter weather conditions were followed
by renewed weakness during the aft
ernoon. Stop orders were uncovered
as prices sold off and the decline was
not checked until October contracts
had sold down from 15.S6c. the early
high level, to 15.34c, while January
broke to 1880. and March to 15.71c,
or about 80 to SO points from the final
quotations. of Saturday this decline of
over $3.50 per bale from the high level
of the morning seemed to leave the
market in a somewhat steadier tech
nical position and there were rallies
of several points in the late trading on
covering.
No definite explanation of the Liv
erpool market appeared to be avail
able around the local ring. but the
selling was accompanied by vague ru-
mors that the English market might
be closed should prices go higher, or
even that the British government
might fix maximum price on cot
ton. Three private crop reports were
issued, one making the condition 633
and the other two 60.

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 2S.-Liverpool's early
erratic markets caused an uneasy feel
ing at our opening this morning. This
was further increased by the gravity OF
the situation in respect to the railroad
strike. Enormous liquidation followed our
opening. The market throughout the ses-
sion was nervous. declines and advances
of Is to 20 points following each other
in rapid succession. A slight rally oc-
CURED at the close, due to short COW
ering. Today's decline does not alter the
situation throughout the belt. "A short
crop is inevitable in our opinion, and we
think advantage should be taken of weak
spots on which to make purchases. We
expect very low condition report on
Thursday next at II a.. m. We think
it will be So, possibly less. If the market
declines further it will be in shape to
quickly respond to low condition report
In any event, a further break would
be regarded as discounting a report of
around So or 66 and there will be less

higher figures be given out. December

$40 We still think it's an excellent pur-
chase.

Sugar Market

New York, August 2S.-Raw sugar was
weak and lower today prompted by the
continued weakness in the futures mar
ket and the lack of aggressive demand,
as well as the poor business in refined
There were sales of 5000 bags of fCubas
eNtore and eoaul to 525 delivered and 1000
bags of Cubas prompt shipment at four
and a half cents and freight making
new spot quotations of SEC for centri-
frgal and Assoc for molasses. AT the close
the market was still unsettled and while
prices were quoted at 41ac, cost and
fl eight, there were further offerings at
1-16c below this figure, without finding
buyers.
In refined there were moderate with,
drawals on old contract, but new business
was light and of hand-to-han charac-
ter, with buyers inclined to hold off and
await some adjustment in values before
entering the market on any substantial
advance. Prices were unchanged at &c
to 7,25c for fine graduated.
The market for sugar futures was
weak under heavy selling pressure from
Wall street interests and commission
houses prompted by the poor demand for
refined Trade interests were also on the
selling side and closing quotations were
about the lowest of the day. September
sold from 4S0c to 515c closing at 4.1Oc,
October, 4.22c to Ale, closing 4.12c; De-
cember, 4.05c to $3.50, closing 3.97c March
3.65c to $500 closing 3.54c.

New York, August 2S.-It is un-

upon cotton in Alexandria is expected.
which added to the excitement in Liver
pool today, where those Egyptian mer-
chants who were short of American
against Egyptian cotton, were covering
in competition with buying orderB from
other sources. These transactions gave
rise to the widest market we have ever
seen in Liverpool, with fluctuations show

with heavy rains in the southwest por-
ton of Texas.
Therefore, while our market opened
higher, many selling orders appeared,
partly long cotton and partly as hedges
against the cotton now coming to market
in Texas. The trade is bullish. they look
forward to a very bullish report and con-
slider the decline today as only a reac-
ton. Some recent western purchases
came on the market today and though IN
the last few minutes some European buy
ing orders caused a quick advance, il
was evident there had been selling by
one or two of the large local longs.

PRICES COLLAPSE
ON WHEAT MARKET
Threatened Strike and Ru-
mania Taking Field Are
Factors in Break

Chicago, August 2S-Wheat prices
crashed down today, 99sa114c bushel
and closed excited at the lowest point
reached with September at 81. 401kd1 4074
and December at 81. 4324 G144as The action
of Rumania in taking the field against
the Austro-German armies formed the
chief reason of the markets collapse, but
the depressing outlook regarding the
threatened strike of 100000 American rail-
way employees was undoubtedly factor
to small extent. Corn finished 1Ad
27sc down and oats off 214@27sc. In provi-
sion, the outcome ranged from 30c decline
to a rise of 15c
Furious rushes to sell characterized the
wheat market, especially at the outset
and the close. News that Rumania had
declared war was received before trad
ing began and made the opening so wild
that it was more than 10 minutes before
the full magnitude of the break in values
could be ascertaned. Holders seemed
half frenzied with fear that Rumania' s
entrance into the war would greatly has
ten the opening of the Dardanelles and
would release big Russian supplies of
wheat to compete with shipments from
America. 1t was also generally assumed
that the accession of strength to the Brit
ish entente might easily mean sudden
ending of the war.
The decentralization at the finish in the
trading pit was certainly not lessened by
assertions that export buying totaled
only $4,000 bushels, demand having been
evidently checked as a result of the mo-
mentary chance of a breakdown in WASH
inRt0n nnQOtia ti0nS to avert the train
mems strike.
Corn gave way with wheat. Eastern
holders who were big buyers last week
were the heaviest sellers today. Oats,
too although at first like corn, compare
lively steady, were weak at the last
under the weight of increased offerings.
The main source of depression was the
smash in quota tons on wheat.
Provisions averaged lower, influenced
by grain. Irregularity of prices was
mainly owing to the fact that the market
was at times subject to neglect
