eion saw the lowest levels OF tho

highest New high levels for the sen
son were made daily. At the high

The one great factor back of the
advance was the governments re-
port on the condition of the crop on
August %. Prior 10 this report there
was heavy buying on anticipation
that II would be bullish, and there
was even heavier buying after IL
was issued because il was more hui
lish than expected. the percentage OF
1913 being the lowest condition re-
port ever issued by the government
This condition pointed to n crop OF
but 7.O37.0o0 bales. and some OF the
buying OF the last two sessions OF
the week was due to tho claim that
the crop had deterioratcd since Au-
gust 20 and that the chances were
for another bullish report in Sep
tcmber which would send the indi-
Gated crop figures below the 1000, 900
bale level. .
surplementing the crsp report as
buliish factor were accounts from
the cotton-goods centers of this coun-
try. telling OF AN increasing demand
and very strong prices. Some OF
tho strength on the close was derived
from reports that many mills and
wholesalers were withdrawing lines
Of cotton goods from the market and
