Ouer Priuate Wires
STEwART'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 7.-After being closed three days Liverpool came over this morning more than responding to advance in their idleness. Futures spot prices 115 points advance and sales larger, total 1000 bales. Manchester cables stated trade showing more in- terest on American cotton scare. Our markets opened 15 to 25 points higher than Mondays close and ruled very nerv- ous during the entire session. The early advance was due to the better Liver pool and continued dry hot weather west but after the first hour prices broke sharply on private reports from Texas that several points in the southwest were nied and prices quickly recovered most of the loss and again around noon there was heavy buying by Wall street that sent prices to the best of the day, the finals after considerable profit taking near the end were 15 to 20 points gain for the day. Spots were quiet and gen orally quoted up Is to 55 points, prices ranging from 23.95 cents at Fort Worth to 24.55 cents at Galveston. The Texas and Oklahoma news showed high tenn peratures with no rain and none prom ised in the forecast. The Oklahoma com missioner of agriculture gave a report that he doubted if the state would av- craze 50 pounds to the acre and private estimates of the Texas crop were under 100000 bales. The three-cent advance in a week has probably discounted the damage to date considering the poor business at the mills and generally un- favorable outside conditions and the tech nical position has also been relieved but the southwest get no relief very quickly higher prices will likely be seen.--S. K. Stewart & Co.

NEW YORK, August 7.-Bond prices ruled slightly higher today The four liberty issues of the United States government advanced frac- tionally while the tax exempt 1as were unchanged and the treasury 4As eased 1-32 of a point.
 In the railroad group the Erie railroad issues were unusually ac- tive, the first consolidated 4s ad- vancing 1 h, the convertible As, series A, two series B, 2B, and series D, 2k. Several other railroad mort gages moved up as much as a point, and Virginia Railway 5s gained 2$4.
 Industrial liens also gave evidence of strength, United States Rubber 71as moving up 1 b, Western Union 61ss 1, and numerous others by large fractions. Gains of point each were recorded in the foreign division by Marseilles 6s and United Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland 51as of 1897.

NEW YORK FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. August With the drouth in the western belt considered to be worse than ever, and the tone of crop reports becoming more seriously unfavor- able, the cotton market today again was higher, although the fluctuations were more two-sided than usual. due to exten- sive realizing. operations from the long side. October's closing range of sales be- ing between 23. 32c and 23. BIC.
 The early trading brought advances of ' to 20 points, partly as the result of favorable cables but mainly as the re- suit of crop complaints. Realizing be- came heavy and new selling was stimu- lated by rumors over private wires that rains had fallen here and there in Texas. This carried prices 16 to 25 points under the close of yesterday to 22. soc for oc- tober and the lowest levels of the day. De- nial of these rumors resulted in the strongest period of the session, the mar ket bulging to ga. 59c for October. where the trading months showed net gains of 3S to 45 points.
 After midsession the edge was off the demand, realizing sales again came on the market, and private predictions of low CT temperatures and rain for Texas caused scattered selling. although such forecast was entirely out of line with official pre- dictious.

Iron Rates To Be Cut

MOBILE, Ala, August 7.-The Mallory Steamship company will reduce the rate on iron and iron articles from Pittsburg to Mobile on September 15, according to notice received today at the traffic of flee of the chamber of commerce. This reduction will make the water rate sew eral cents lower than the rail rate and it Is believed will throw much of the business to the water routes.
 The rate has been reduced to 5s cents per hundred pounds, while the rail rate is 67 cents. The reduction Is made to line up the Mallory rate to Mobile in accordance with a cut recently made by the Morgan line to Mobile.
 Another announcement of interest to local hardware dealers Is that the Ala bama public service commission has agreed to the proposal to apply the spe- cial iron rates woven wire fencing and other related articles instead of class yates. This will result in considerable reduction in the freight charges on feno- ing shipped from Birmingham to Mobile.

PRICES EASE OFF AFTER ADVANCES
 IN COTTON MART

NEW YORK, August 7.-Further advances on unfavorable weather and crop advices were not fully main- tained in the cotton market today. All the active months made new high ground for the movement but after selling up from 23.40c to 241Sc. or A points net higher, and 3l6 points above the low level of late last month, prices eased off under realizing. October closed at 23.SSc with the general market closing steady, net 10 points lower on Au- gust, but 6 to IS points net higher on october and later months. Liver pool fully responded to the big ad- advance of yesterday in the local market, and the opening here was one point higher on October. Later months were, l to 2 points lower, after the call on private reports of showers at two or three points in Texas, and the hope that these might prove the forerunner of a break in the drought. Selling on these reports was encouraged by a belief that the market was entitled to reactions after it's recent. rapid advance and the active months soon showed net losses of about 33 to 40 points with December selling down to 23.32c and January to 23.15c. This decline ap- peared to be attracting some fresh buying, and the market turned up ward on covering by early sellers following the publication of the weather map and the official western belt forecast. The latter pointed to a continuation of high temperatures without any mention of showers ex cept for extreme west Texas and parts of Louisiana. There was also nervousness over the outlook for further showers. in the eastern belt where the boil weevil is said to be growing more active and for tune the market showed considerable strength, advancing to 24.11c for December and 23.S0c for January or 30 to A points net higher. There was sufficient realizing at these prices to check the upward movement and there were reactions during the aft ernoon on reports that some the map readers thought there were still in- dications of showers in the south west.

HUBBARD,s LETTER

NEW YORK, August 7.-(Special. )-Ru- mors of showers around Dallas caused a sharp break after the opening this morn ing, but as these Nwere proven to be in error. the market quickly recovered to advance to new high ground, where it again hestated on reports that there were possibilities of showers, especially in Ok lahoma, in the not distant future. It is noticeable that whenever these shower re- ports make their appearance that the market will not stand any selling indicat- ing that there is now a fairly large long interest quite natural condition after the recent advance. Looking back over the past history has shown that we al- most always have an advance in August on the deterioration of the crop, and that this advance eliminates either on some weather condition or on the weight of the new movement from Texas. We are now witnessing the first of these conditions with the trade rapidly becoming enthusl- astically bullish. especially those who were inclined to be very optimistic 10 days ago. In other words, the sellers at the bottom are now buyers at the top. question which will face the trade in a very short time is whether under such conditions the market will stand the hedge selling. In the meantime, weather conditions will control, and 1t might very easily go higher but the market should be approached with great caution.
 Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow; October 13 35d. January .07d.-Hubbard Bros. Ss Co.,

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK. August 7.--The raw sugar market was steadier and Cubas were hc higher to the basis of 4$c. cost and There were sales of l7,00o bags of Cubas to local refiner for August shipment.
 There was not much activity in the raw sugar futures market, and prices were ir- regular throughout the session, although in the main generally frmer, reflecting the higher ruling of the spot market. Shorts and commission houses bought early and prices advanced s to 10 points, but before midday all the early gain was lost under realizing. At the decline there was renewed buying by commission houses and Wall street interests, and prices ral- lied, closing at net gains of 2 to points. Closing: September 4.42c, December 399c, March 2 37c, May 3.44c.
 Business in refined sugar continued light and prices were unchanged at ' soc to Sc for fine granulated.
