Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York. August 9.-Buying orders had accumulated over night and before they had been executed prices showed a sharp advance as offerings were too light to supply what were wanted. Wall street houses were active buyers for time supposed to be covering shorts as a result of a favorable view of the Presidents message which was reflect ed in a better tone to the stock mar ket. TheSe was also some apprehension that the treNca1 storm might work in from the Caribbean and result in un- favorable weather in the course of the next few days, making it seem better to be even over the weekend.
 Report of severe damage by insects in Texas also attracted a good deal of comment. Trade demand was noted at times, but was only moderate and in fact the volume of business was light. The tone continues nervous and unsettled, but we think there are more shorts to cover and a large trade de- mand which has been held up waiting for a better opportunity to buy. Any serious disturbance in the way of a storm which would add to damage re- ports would bring in much of that de- mand at the market, but trading po- sition is all that looks advisable at present-Post & Flagg.

Over W. Phefts & Cc.'s Wire

New Orleans. August 9.-(SpeciaL) The tropical storm located by the bu- reau in the Carribean sea and appar- ently taking the usual course which lands such disturbances in the Gulf of Mexico, was the dominating influence in the cotton market today and it caused a bulge of $4 bale and over in the early trading and held the tone steady after that Too much rain in the southern portion of the belt the favorable impression created by Presi- dent Wilson's message to Congress on the high costof living and the much better outlook in the railroad labor troubles were features which contribu- ted to the steadiness.
 The tropical weather disturbance will cause more or less worry over Sunday and it may be the big influence on the opening next week. These storms hover about for a whole week some
 times before moving to their ultimate destina tion. A hurricane on the pres ent crop would be about the worst thing that could happen to it. because it would spread the boil weevil, which already is bad enough over large areas. The knowledge of this made the market a purchase today to many traders who for several days past have been in clined to take the opposite position. The market closed at net advances of 49 to 61 points.-Shepard & Gluck.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Atsor.1fed Prtss

New York, August 9.-Print cloth mar kets have weakened following the decline in cotton and the other unsettling feat ures affecting trade. It was possible to buy 3S1z-inch 64x60s at second hands at f712c, as against a price of 1S4c week ago. Less drastic declines were quoted on other gray cloths, while the finished goods were generally steady.
 The demand from the wholesale trade is lighter Some manufacturing trades con- tinue buying special cloths for contract delivery at high prices. Retailers also are making purchases for future delivery. Many lines of goods are very scarce. Re- sumption of buying would result in fur ther advances. Many exporters are un- able to secure all the goods they stand ready to buy at the high prices.
 Colored heavy cottons are especially scarce, and many of the novelties in fine yarns are hard to get. Mills and agents are more disposed to check advances. A great many standard lines have been withdrawn from sale until mills are able to secure a larger output.
 Prices follow: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x64s 13c; 64x6os, 121kc; 3S1a-inch, 64x64s, 1S1aGp1Sa4c; brown sheetings, southern standards, 261aG27c; deniins, 22c; southern indigo, 371aG40c; tickings, ounce, 45c; prints, 19c; staple ginghams, 21c; dress ginghams, 25027kc.

 New Orleans, August 9.-The tropical storm which appears to be working to- ward the Gulf of Mexico, was responsible for buying movement of magnitude in the cotton market today. Prices were higher on the opening and the advance continued, and the trade months were 72 to SS joints above the level of yesterdays close.
 Late in the session considerable irealiz- ing came from the long side, and it re- duced the gain somewhat, last prices being at net advances of 49 to 61 points. At the best of the day, October traded at 32. .06c.
 V For a while, in the early trading, the market wa sactive and excited; shorts covered in confusion and important buy ing for long account appeared. The de- mand was swelled by the favorable inn pression made by President Wilson's mes- sage to Congress and by the better turn in railroad labor troubles. Wet weather in the southern half Of the belt was with values, because it was feared that it would increase insect damages Texas continued to complain of weevil and worms, which intensified the effect of the storm warning, stating that the tropical disturbance would probably move into the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week, because hurricanes are regarded as the greatest known spreaders the weevil.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, August 9.--The market today showed a decidedly better under tone than for some time. partly in sym pathy with the stronger securities market and partly on account of a rather unfavorable weather map and fears of a disturbance in the Caribbean. The Presidents message was generally regarded as favorable since it did not propose any impracticable government regulation, and 1t did mention specific ally the dangers of continued labor in their relation to the general high costs There is a general feeling, however, that the prices of cotton goods may easily be modified without materially affecting the price of raw material. further recovery would seem quite natural, but the ad vance in all commodities has received such a setback that it is questionable whether it will be resumed or not Hubbard Bros. & Co.
