HEAVY COTTON SALES
DOMINATING FEATURE
Conditions of American Mar
kets This Year, Accord
ing to Henry Clews.

New York, Sept. S--(Special.) --Henry
Clews, IN his weekly letter. says OF cot
ton conditions;
1.-THE dominating features OF the
market have been the unusually heavy
hedge sales for Southern and Liverpool
accounts and the growing confidence
OF the trade both here and In Europe
In tho increased production OF American
cotton this year. This, In connection
with the large carry-over and aug
mented supplies from foreign countries
IL believed to practically assure an
abundance OF oil descriptions, especially
with continuation OF the present un-
favorable and unsettled conditions OF
general trade. The government bureau
condition OF 67.b was below general ex-
peotations and slightly less than the ten
year average of 6S,2, but still indicated
larger Yield than last month or last
year. AS the sentiment OF the trade
and surrounding conditions do not favor
a. sustained advance Mt present. the
sharp rally that followed the report only
served TO attract general outside selling.
Since the date Of the condition, Aug. %,
the crop has been making comparatively
fair progress for this part of the sea-
son, with temperatures about normal
throughout the cotton belt. Rains have
been excessive In localities OF the west
ern section, where dry, sunshiny wealth
or is now needed for the proper matur-
ity of the crop and to aid In checking
the activity OF the boil weevl. over
tho greater part Of the belt tho rainfall
has been light and ia believed to have
been beneficial. Picking is now becom.
