NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. August 22.-Moderately wide depressions were seen in the early trading in cotton today and again toward the close. but in between the tone was very steady and prices were dfsposed to recover. Lowest prices of the session came in the closing range of sales and were 40 to 49 points under the last quotations Of yesterday, October closing at a range of 2S 37c to 23 40c.
 The main reason for the decline was the moisture reported in the western belt over night and the further showers reported during the day although on the opening the very poor Liverpool had much to do with carrying the market lower Accord ing to both private and official weather sdvices much rain fell in Oklahoma heavy at numerous points. while parts of Texas

got farther scattered showers.
 The market was steadied at the early decline by speculations of unfavorable weekly crop reports from the government, but while the reports were about ex- pected. they caused no great amount of buying. A private crop report made the condition only 58 per cent of normal. in dicating yield of 10 9O0, 900 bales. It was considered bullish but did not arouse much buying. News from the cloth mar kets seemed to have more effect than crop reports, especially private claims of a much better business in Fall River, where 1t was esttaated that Mondays sales of print cloths amounted to 10S, 900 piece ces. This feature helped to carry the market to it's highest, to within 6 to IT points of yesterdays final quotations and up to 23 72c for October.

HUBBARD's LETTER

NEW YORK. August 22.-(Special)- Good soaking rains fell over the state of Oklahoma last night breaking the drouth In that state, There were also some scat tered showers in western Texas. However the rains did not extend down into the so badly needed. AS result of this change in the weather our market has been low CT. but has shown very little signs Of weakening, and in fact has given an ex- cellent account of itself in face of these rains
 Reports from the dry goods district in- dicate a continued broadening demand for dry goods with prices higher. This is a most encouraging feature, and if if con- tinues. should lead to some mill buying. At the present time, however. the sales ap- parently are principally nearby deliveries and are the goods which have been ac- cumulated during the recent period of dullness where the mills were piling up goods. The parity between cotton and goods still continues to be away out of line, but the situation in this respect Is much better than 1t has been for some little time. So far the demand for dry goods has not been felt in the finer grades which are suffering from competition with goods demand continues and broadens it may bring in trade buyers, in which case the market might quite we'll be able to absorb the early movement. We are also approaching the time when private esti- mates will he making their appearance, and these are expected to be of an ex- tremely bullsh character.
