WEEKLY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. FLA
variety Of causes led to the heavy SELL
ing Of this last week in the cotton mar
ket but most prominent among them
were the weakness in the interior spot
markets and the continued reports of
poor trade among the mills, But for
the slumps in spot prices it Is doubtful
If the declines In the contract market
would have been anywhere near as
wide as they were because sustaining
influences would have been found in
the great Improvement in war news and
in the increased complaints from large
areas In the belt of crop damage
through excessive rains. To some ex-
tent the decline appeared to be over
done and it is certain that the selling
has made much stronger technical
position, the old long interest having
been eliminated and replaced by a
growing short interest, Secondary
causes for the selling of cotton were
to be found in the sensational weakness
in the sugar and coffee markets the
depression in wall street and constant
talk of tight money and of long con
tinued period OF tight money. On sew
eral sessions Wall street and Western
interests were mentioned as being
prominent traders in cotton on the short
side. At the same time there was every
evidence that the bulk of the selling
came from the people who were in
close touch with crop conditions and
who were discouraged at the way val
ues were being reduced in the spot
markets. Heaviest selling of the week
followed the reduction in a single SEES
sion of spot prices in the Montgomery
market by SIS points. Dallas In four
days lost 3l5 points. For IA while there
was much talk of a high condition and,
consequently, a very large indicated
crop for Aug. 25, but we do not agree
with such Views. Recent reports from
the belt do not indicate anything but
general deterioration, such as is nat
ural to August and which this year has
been FASTENED by excessive rainfall. The
official reports for the week stated dis
tinctlv that the weather had been very
unfavorable and that deterioration had
occurred over large areas. In view OF
this we do not see how the idea can
persist that the condition Of the crop,
As good or better than il was on July
25 when the government placed II AT
TAI per cent of normal. The condition
period ends this coming Wednesday
and this coming week will produce con-
dition figures from several prominent
private crop reporting bureaus which
will have much 10 do with the daily
swing Of the market
The market is short, the danger Of
subiugatou of the Poles by Russia ap-
pears definitely to he over and sooner
or later mills must start buying the
