SOME SHARP REVERSALS;
COTTON MARKET NERVOUS

NEW YORK, August 12.-The SELL
ing movement which developed right
after the advance on the governments
end July crop figures continued dur
ing the earlier part of the week 1t
looked as though the attention of the
trade was shifting from the considera-
t1on of small crop estimates to un-
favorable general business conditions
and, judging from prevailing express
sions Of opinion, there was a tendency
to discount decline under the
weight of the new crop movement
Selling on this theory was doubtless
promoted by reports of showers or
rains in the southwest, complaints of
a poor spot demand. and reports that
southern selling here represented
new crop cotton. Offerings tapered
of, however. after a break of nearly
cents per pound or to about the 20
cent level. and there were very sharp
recoveries toward the end of the
week owing to renewed nervousness
over the progress of the crop and
claims of better trade demand
Conflicting opinions have been ex-
pressed as to crop conditions in the
southwest. The showers reported at
some points were considered suffi-
cient to relieve the drouth and the
lower temperatures were commented
upon as a favorable feature. On the
other hand, it has been quite general
ly claimed that the rains were ade-
quate over only comparatively
small proportion of Texas, and that
in other sections the crop has de-
Perforated with increased insect dam
age resulting from rains or showers
east Of the river.
These views, combined with reports
that midmonth crop condition figures
showed fully or more than the aver
age falling off for the first half of
August, evidently led to active COW
ering. but after selling up from zoos,
the low price of Wednesday, to 21.44
for December early yesterday after
noon there were reactions accom-
panied by talk Of an easier technical
position. One of the private mid
month reports made the condition of
the crop 81 and another placed it at
69.4, pointing to deterioration of be-
tween and points as compared
with end July figures.
According to local I spot brokers,
both foreign and New England mills
were showing more interest in spot
cotton toward the end of the week,
but business between Liverpool and
New York is supposed to be restrict
ed somewhat by the delays in the
cable service.

AGENCY's TRADE REVIEW.
NEW YORK. Aueust 12.-pm

NEW YORK, August 12.-Dunn's
review Of trade says:
1.-THE uncertainties Of the labor
situation. continuing for still another
week, have not unnaturally imposed
further restraint on business ac-
tivities. Various encouraging fea-
lures that would otherwise attain
prominence are overshadowed by ex-
listing strikes. which compel wide
attention and sentiment is unfavor-
ably affected. With the outcome OF
the industrial controversies in doubt,
different interests are disinclined to
undertake important new commit
ments, the disposition being to defer
aggressive action and not a few
transactions are prevented by the
obstacles of restricted production and
retarded shipments. Inability to Sc
cure needed material in regular chan
nels leads to the seeking of new
sources of supply In some Instances
with the placing OF orders of an
emergency character and premiums
frequently rule where there is any
on deliveries.
