Stewart Letter

New Orleans, August 2.-In spite of the absence of a Liverpool market and early news being bearish, our market opened unchanged to 10 higher. Octo- Der opened at 30.50c, but ruled weak on selling of a expected bearish condition report and the sudden weakness in the stock market after it had opened show ing strength october sold as low as 30c before the bureau figure was issued The condition figure of TAI against TOT last month, 671 last year and a ten- year average of 75.6 proved to be some what of a surprise and a quick rally nearly a hundred points took place On the rise however, professionals sold freely and caused another setback Trade interests came in and bought heavily, particularly the late months, and brought about d second rally, caus- ing shorts to cover, the distants closing around 100 points up, while october was 50 up.
 The high closing can be credited to the indication of 12.500.0O0 crop when about 100000 was expected. Another bullish feature at the last hour were the figures from Secretary Hester, show ing a carry-over of about one-half mil lion bales less than last year.
 The weather map indicates unsettled weather. The market will likely rule ir- regular for a day or so, but with some clearing up of the foreign situation we will see much higher prices.

Thomason-Parker & Go.

New Orleans, La, August 2-Bureau today brought numerous and wide fluctuations to the cotton market, the condition report being lower than ex- pccted and resulting in a bulge of nearly a cent g. pound on the strongest months. Following the report, however, the nar- ket became irregular, with gains not any too well maintained for a while, but late in the day the market strengthened or important new buying in the distant months so that March went 106 points over Saturdays final price. The market finally closed at net advances for the day of A to 94 points. Prior to the bureau the tendency was to sag and at the lowest the trading months were l5 to 31 points under Saturdays last quotations From the levels prevailing just before the bureau to levels reached immediately after, October rose 90 points to 3095c.
 The government places the condition of the crop at TAI per cent of normal indicating a crop of 12,519,0O0 bales. The course of prices proved the correctness of the claims that the trade looked for between 70 and 76. The future of the market now ~depends on August weather. Shepard & Chuck.

B. R.. & P. REVIEWS
 PLEA TO DISCONTINUE
 PART CAR MOVEMENT

Montgomery. August 2. -(Special.)- The petition of the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power Company for permission to discontinue the handling of freight in less than carload lots in Birmingham and between Birming- ham and suburban points was renewed before the public service commission by Lee c. Bradley, receiver, today.
 MT Bradley told the commission the service has been unprofitable and can not be made profitable. J. s. Pevear, general manager of the company, was offered as witness in support of the contention that the company should be permitted to dispense with this service. The public service commission granted the company permission to make an increase in rates for the handling of freight two months ago, but the com pany still contends that the rates do not yield that amount of revenue which will make the service profitable. The petition was taken under advisement.

New York. August 2-(SpeciaL)- government report of 741 was slightly lower than the trade had expected and brought about an immediate advance on local short covering. There was, how ever, no very large outside buying, so that the market settled down to few points better than Saturdays closing prices The general feeling in the trade continues intensely bearish, which is in creased by the fact that the stock mar ket failed to show any signs of definite improvement following the advance n freight rates accorded the railroads. The market continues heavily short, with the critical month of August to be passed through It is therefore a question whether there will be any deterioration on the crop during the next month which will be sufficient to cause uneasiness throughout the trade and bring about covering movement Naturally this re- mains to be seen, but at the same time we think that it is very inadvisable to make any further sales just at the pres ent time, as the next two weeks might easily bring bad weather.-Hubbard Bros. &, Co.

SITNDAY CLOSING

The Sunday closing will likely be the principal topic discussed at the meeting of the city council Tuesday evening, when action on the resolu- ton introduced at the last meeting will probably be taken. The resolu- tion calls for resembling of the for mer order, and was referred to the judiciary committee to be reported on at the Tuesday meeting. The order has been in effect here for the past two months, and the resolution will seek to reopen certain places of busi- ness on Sunday. It is expected that a lively controversy will result from the discussion Tuesday evening.
 As the city has no legislation on Sunday closing, other than the recent resolution to enforce the sttae law, this latter law prevails here now. The city may amend or qualify this to suit local conditions.

New York August 2-While the con ditions report was rather disappointing to the bears and was followed by fair 1y sharp upturn, it was argued that the figures were good enough to indicate sufficent supply for any probable re- uuirements and that neither financial nor political conditions were favorable Tor any sustained buying movement at ad- vancing prices. Sellers therefore became more aggressive at the top of the rally and succeeded in looping off most of the advance, but prces turned firmer agaln in the late trading when pressure was less severe and local shorts showed X desire to cover.
 The October premium showed ten- dency to narrow on switching from that month to later positions but there are some who feel that the increase Tn freight rates will have bearing on that month and that the transportation sltua- tion will not in all probability clear up enough before that time to permit free movement of cotton here for delivery We are reliably informed that cotton that was consigned here as far back as March has not yet arrived. Close op- servers of the trading feel that the tech- nical position warrants a good upturh
