Over Private Wires
Shannon & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 2S.-Prices to some extent in the late trading but the gen eral tone of the market has been heavy all day and the demand has not fol- lowed the rallies but trading has taper ed off on the small advances that have taken place from time to time. The average of crop adyices was considered better than last week, especially from the Southwest and it was said that selling orders were coming in from that section.
 While some of that may be done around this level we doubt if it reached any large proportions, or presses on declines, but in the present temper Of the speculative element support from that quarter does not promise much and the chief reliance must be placed on foreign and domestic trade buying on scale down, together with cover ing by shorts as the interest on that side of the market is increasing and will easily get over extended.
 Prices look like working lower for a time but the technical position is growing daily stronger and insures prompt and sharp response to any bull ish influence that arise. The short side does not commend itself to us, but would prefer to be even for the ! time being.-Post and Flagg.

R. D. Burgers Letter

New Orleans, July 2S.-The tendency of market was lower today owing to a hitch in settlement of the marine strike and traders anticipated the government
 due Friday next, to indicate some
 what larger crop than was promised one month ago. Three monthly private
 crop reph'ts were issued today. Re
 turns to the Southern Products Co. averaging 69.1 vs. 69.5 last month, to
 the Memphis Commercial Appeal 69.9
 against 73.S. and to Clement Curtis and
 company, Chicago. 71.2 compared with
 70.5 last month.
 While present indications point to
 little change in the condition of the
 crop compared with one month ago,
 there is the possibility of a marked
 improvement in the condition of the
 plant in event of good weather being
 experienced during August, in which
 month last year the crop deteriorated nearly 15 points falling to 55.7 by Au- gust 25 where as on June 25 last year it was S5.S, in other words in event of good weather next month, there is the possibility of this years crop aver aging much higher in condition than last year by the end of August, where as at the close of June it was nearly Is points lower, In that event the in- dicated crop this year would be much larger than were prospects at cores bonding time one year ago.
 Therefore the future course of the market will likely be governed mainly by weather conditions and progress of the growing plant.-H. and B. Beer. Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter New York, July 2S-The market was lower today on continued speculative liquidation in anticipation of bearish bureau on Friday. The Journal of Commerce appeared with a special re- | port for Alabama and Mississippi which reported less damage from weevil in | those states than had been anticipated | in view of the weather. Weather con ditions west of the river are good, and reports are to the effect that the clear
 weather is enabling farmers to make progress in clearing grass. On the de- | cline, however, the domestic spinner | was a fair buyer and this demand caused a rally before the close which | was only some Is points under that of 1 Saturday. We see no change in the general situation except that the crop
 is making more satisfactory progress
 in the central and western belts than
 it has any time this year We should l say that the local sentiment was rather | mixed. With the tendency to expect
 rather a favorable condition report on l Friday.-Hubbard Bros. and Co.
