•i'iLE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND JNEW». CONDITION REPORT IS VERY BULLISH Improvement During Month of July Was Very Slight. LOWER THAN HOPED , Figures At 75 Compares With 82.9 Last Year; 74.9 Year Before. New York. Aug. 2.—rrlres at the opening of the local cotton market this morning were points higher to 1 point lower, most 0 f the shorts having covered yesterday. There was an evening-up of long accounts in preparation for the government report, whirl) weakened prices 2 to 3 points after the rail. . The trade generally expected ft condition report of about 77; and as these figures had been discounted, pries changes during thi morning were within narrow limits. Immediately preceding the publication of the report October was quoted at 11.94, pemnner 12.08, January 12.12 and March J:\14-practlcnlly unchanged, except for Msrrh. which was 7 points lower from Thursday's final figures. Busluess was Terr light. At noon the condition was flashed over the wires at 75, and for nbout a minute the wires were Idle. This condition had not been discounted, and It was up to the nhorts to do something. It took them just one minute to decide and to act. and on the scramble to cover by this element, aid ed by some good buying by the bulls, a sharp advance was established, Oetobet 12.20, December 12.24, January 12.33, March 12.13. At the high point, proflt-ti buyers caused n recession of several points between 12 and 1 o'clock. After the spurt of activity after the publication of the condition report, the market quieted down and top the remainder of the session ruled dull, with a downward tendency, reports of rains In Texas being the depressing Influence. The close was barely steady net 3 to 10 points higher. Following Is the report on the condi tion of the crop as of July 25, as com- pared with previous years Virginia N. Carolina.. K. Carolina..

The market, taken as a whole, Is In n very firm position, and with spinners well sold ahead, lu many cases Into next year, no anxiety Is being showti by selling agents to secure new bust- ’uesn. In quite a few cases spinners have refused to accept any further business at the pres ent time as they have nil they can handle on their books for some time to come. Since the present week opened some Inqui ries have been coming to hand and theso would seem to show that, In spite of the heavy buying early In July, some manu facturers are not yet fully covered on yarns.

VICK & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER New Orleans, Aug. 2.-An unexpected turn In the weather over night altered the chances for scalpers. The map shows gen erally cloudy weather, except south Texas nud the Carolina*, and some showers oe- "irrod In north and west Texas, the cen tral and eastern states. Official foreensts premise showers lu the entire western belt. " bile there are no configurations on the tnnp to Insure good rains, the moral effect of the promise of showers Is sufficient to require an outright bullish bureau to off- |*“t It.

Lewis, of Minneapolis, who was ou the floor on Wednesday. “The crop Is so backward, however, that fully two-thirds of it might easily be caught by front any night. If the weather should change the black rust might nlso become a live fnctor." "it will be doubtful If North Pnkotn, leaving out Casa county, will average six bushels per acre," writes A. II. Smith, of the Minnesota Grain Company of Duluth, to Gnrdner-Paddicford. "In Cass county the yield will probably go ten to twelve bushels per acre, but the balance of the state Is spotted and uneven. Tho mncnronl wheat looks hut little better than the sprlug wheat." Crop Expert Goodman wired Clement-Cur- tls from Brookings, H. D.: "Never saw worse wheat from Aberdeen to Condo. Plant did not recover from June drought. About half crop nt host. Too dry for black rust. From Condo to short distance of Groton wheat short, ragged, poor condition. Fifty per rent ou account of early drought, lied rust; no trace of black at either place." "With the best of weather the northwest will not raise ns much wheat as during the black rust year, and Cnunda will also lie short," says W. 8. Crosby. "The crop In Europe Is easily 250,000,00 bushels short of last rear.” Winnipeg message to Finley narrell rendn as follows: "ftntnple* of wheat received here show unmistakable signs of black rust. They are from Saskatchewan." LeCouiit wired from Wesslngton, 8. link.: "Half of the fields seen are infected with the genuine black rust, but uo noticeable rinmnge as yet.

A sensational decline lu Copper In London Is reported this niorulii Fears have been long entertained would occur. While the outlook Is not -clear, we favor a conservative policy, only buying on big breaks. Town Topics: The character of the buy ing In Union Racine nud Southern Rnclfic Indicates quite clearly to our minds that the bottom of this recession has been reached and thnt theso stocks should be bought on soft spots now and held for handsome profits, the margin for Improvement In Union Pacific being enpeclnfly attractive. Insiders are known to be decidedly bullish on this lending Issue, nud ns the Increased dividend on Southern Pacific means uu ad dition of $900,000 per year to Union's In come account and earnings are rolling up nt a fadter rate even than during the fiscal year Just ended. Their faith has substan tial foundation, and, backed with expert manipulation, we doubt not thnt a rise of 20 points will lw enjoyed by those fortunate enough to buy and hold this stock for a couple of nioidb*. Popper metnr prices will doubtless be again reduced, but Amalgamated looks good enough to huy for Investment nt theso* fig ures. We favor the leading active rails more strongly, however, and on soft spots would buy the Hurrliuau stocks, ttie Illll Issues. 8t. Paul, Atchison. Northwestern. Rending.

New Y'ork Financial Bureau: Great North ern preferred seems to us one of the best all-round purchases, support being men tioned toward 130, but the quality of the property makesjt desirable nt these prices. Northern Pacific will not meet strong sup port until near 126. Home better buying Is noted In Union Pacific around 141, but the real support next Is 140 ami then 136. but we doubt the reaching of the Inst figure. Honthern Pacific seems to be held against attacks, but the support has been reduced slowly toward 88. according to specialists, but the stock should be iNiught, iin It Is surely worth the money on the Increased dividend. Ht. Paul should be bought toward 130 with a stop order. Amalgamated may THE COFFEE MARKET. New Y’ork.

NEW YORK WAS DULL Majority of Issues Showed Gains At the Session’s Opening. York, Aug. 2.—This morning's deal ings on the stock exchnuge Imre out last bight's Indications that the market wns oversold for the time being. Prices started off higher, beginning with an advance Id the American department In London, and while some Irregularity appeared In the final hour, yesterday's low quotations were Tulu approached. Thet radlng grew uU nt the high level, nnd the con clusion from this was that, apart from the short Interests which had over-extend ed Itself somewhat on the previous days, there was little disposition to buy. South ern Pacific and Union Pacific were, ns usual, the leaders, and 8t. Paul, Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Rending nlso made a very fair reciAery. It was quite noteworthy that the railroad list wns stronger all through than the Industrial, reflecting the prevailing view that the Industrial stocks were likely to suffer relatively more than the railroads from a trade reaction.
