WEEKLY REVIEW 0F THE COTTON MARKET

New York. August 1.-The cotton mar
 irreguiarity during the past week. A great deal of bearish talk has been heard around the ring, encouraged by the fa- vorable character of crop advices from the greater part of the belt, and the proximity of heavier new crop offerings This has found a reflection in the ten dency of offerings to increase on ad- vances, but selling has been held in check by bullish spot advices and a renewal of peace rumors.
 It appears also that the technical DO :. sition of the futures market had strengthened on the decline of about 2 cents per pound from the high lever of August T. to the low point of last Mon day. and covering was rather active on the md-week rallies. Otherwise, except for some trade buying. demand did not seem to broaden much, and the market was easier again today under renewed liquidation with December selling off to 24.45c compared with %. 23c, the high point of Thursday and .2Sc, the low point of Monday. Generally speaking, traders have expressed skepticism as to the suc- cess of the peace proposals at this time
 Drouth complaints from the southwest have been growing more serious and the talk of an average improvement in the condition of the crop since the end of July has also been modified to some ex- tent by recent private figures One of the local bureaus published a report this morning placing the condition at 70.3, compared with 719 as of July 20. The weekly report of the weather bureau was considered very favorable as to sec tions outside of the Texas drouth area and it was recalled around the ring that the two previous reports had also indi- cated favorable progress
 Japanese and English exporters have been reported buying early new crop re- ceipts in the southwest. with domestic mills buyers of early cotton east of the river. General business around the ring here has remained of small volume, with traders inclined to wait for increasing new crop receipts to test the spot situa- tion. --.------s--s.sei

DOWNWARD TREND
 OF COTTON PRICES
Minimum of 90 Cents for Cotton for Next Three
 Years Suggested

New York, August 17.-A slight early rally was followed by renewed weakness in the cotton market today with De- cember contracts selling off to 24.45c and closing at 24.49e The general list closed steady at q net loss of 9 to 25 points.
 The nervousness caused by the suspen- sion of trading in sugar futures late yes terday seemed to have entirely dsap- peared as a cotton market factor over night. There were scattered buying or ders around the ring with the opening point lower on October, but generally ? to points higher. This was supposed to reflect covering by some of yesterdays sellers and active months sold 10 to F points net higher before the end of the morning. with October touching 24 9sc and January A.s1c. More serious drouth complaints from the southwest a private report placing the condition at 70.3 com- pared with 71.9 at the end of July, and the rather more optimistic view of ocean freight conditions created by London ad- vices, were factors on the advance. Ex- port for covering, however, there seemed to be very little demand around the ring, yesterdays bullish spot advices were fol- lowed by rather vague rumors of an easier basis, and the market turned easier dur ing the afternoon, Tired Wall street and western longs were credited with liquidat- ing on the decline to 24 60c for Octo- Der and 24.45c for January. This made net loss of about g to 2s points on the more active positions Closing prices were few points up from the lowest on covering. Reports that Texas or ganization had petitioned Congress to fix a minimum price of 30 cents on cotton to hold for three years reached here dur ing the morning. but were hardly a market factor.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 17-(SpeciaL)- )-The market today ruled heavy, due more to the absence of buying for an advance than to any new feature. The lack of freight room for export to Europe has led to some hedge selling here and in New Orleans. Showers in northern Texas in the afternoon, and the weather students in New Orleans thought Texas would have rain over Sunday Outside of the hedge selling and a little long liquidation there was no pressure to sell. prominent bull trader bought on the opening, but sold out his purchases when the market turned weak. Another crop estimate thought the reduction in condi- tion during August would be Is against Ill last year.

The title Certified Public Accom-
tant" is one conferred by the Geor-
gia state board, and carries with it
the official approval of the state upon
the fitness and qualifications TO an
accountant.
