FAIRCHILD & CO.’S WEEKLY COTTON LETTER. Now Orleans. Aug. 6.—The action of the market since tue publication of the bureau report Friday has been n great disappoint ment to the friends of cotton. AH thlugs considered, this report was probably the most bullish document ever put before the public, yet prices closed Saturday within a ww points of where they were before the r<'I*ort was published. While some are In clined to discredit the figures put out by th*> government, we believe thnt a careful ftndy of conditions given by states will about conform to general Ideas of those who have kept up with the progress of tho crop. The ngures for the Atlantic states show considerably above those of last year, while the middle and western atnten are far be- throw over their holdings. As public busl- n<*SK is very mnch restricted, due to adverse legislation In the South, the buying power wns very limited nnd not sufficient to take enre of the heavy selling orders. “The prominent New York opera for" Hooded the country with l»earlsh telegrams, ond not withstanding his nttlude of some weeks ago he now comes to see no good In the stnple. honio are Inclined to the belief that he K'^ks to create n favorable level for accu mulating cotton nnd that he will boon again assume the pose of the “fanners’ friend, •he government report more than confirms f he bullish reports Issued through private source* nnd should, we Isdleve, he accepted a* the true conditions of the growing crop, "e see no feature In the situation to war rant lower prices, while on the other hand 5® many bullish arguments can be set forth that we do not hesitate to advise our tiiend* to buy cotton around present levels, tiling confident that snch purchases will u*t hnndsome profits. The high tempera ture* throughout the lw»lt bnre certainly re tarded the plnnt to some extent nnd the poor stands will prevent the pOMldllty of *u average crop, even should we have a late m*st, which, of course, Is not an amured r rr .„,. stock, $3ft3.50; limes, Florida stock, per hundred, 51; peanuts in sacks averaging 100 pounds each, owing to grade, per pound, 6H©8c; cantaloupes, slow sale. 75c crate; wntermei ons, 12tt&20c each; Georgia peaches $1© 1.50 crate; rhnbnrh. 75c each.

MILLS GENERALLY SOLD UP FOR BALANCE OF THE YEAR The New York Commercial: What U re garded ns the most important feature of the post week Is the forward buying for the spring of 1908 on blenched good*, gray goods nud general Hues of print cloth yarn const ruction goods. The converters and h rlnter* show their full confidence In values y taking merchnndi*e on a higher valuation than hn» heretofore been deemed prudent to operate on. The largest selling organisation In the city elates thnt they ‘ ly sold up their mills for th f ear OU everything except tue coarser yaru nitric*, and on these they arc getting a fenerous amount of bnalness at their own erms. More favorable conditions exist In be men’s wear trade for the spring of 1908 than those reported during the closing ... . jjfgfc.prfcnd fancy jicy woolens are be fore the trade In range* above the $2 value, hnvers are nltle to make final selections of thdr sample pieces. There appears to be no hesitancy on the part of manufacturing clothiers and cloth Jobbers to take a full range of styles, although as yet they have not done nny speculative purchasing on nny clnss of fabric. Agents report supple mental orders on hosiery and underwear for forward delivery as coming to hand from Jobber* In the East and West. Prices on all such merchandise are firmly main tained. The ordering on all classes of knit goods (of the spring Is also progressing satisfactorily, and there seems to be n stronger disposition on the part of large operators to rake summer weight goods than was shown at this time last year. r’s sales of fresh beefr In _, IU ,..

He estimates that the crop Is nt least 200,000.000 bushel* less than thnt of last year. Well posted pit observers say he holds the largest line of onts that he ever owned, many estimating the line nt over 20.000,000 bushels.
