tho coming season with a visible supply of
American cotton of nbout 1,350,000 —
south Texas, but Houston and PS1P9IPIV
print articles saying cotton Is too far gone
to bo boneftted by rains. Tho opinion Is
yet quit© general that tho yield will be
below requirements. High prices paid for
spot cotton In foreign markets at
new receipts at homo are also n sup;
factor to tho market. Moreover, bul _

1 In financial spheres will bo followed by a
i reaction which will carry everything mgh-
or. For this reason, speculation prefers
to buy on aotbncks. A change In views
and sentiment concerning the financial sit
uation might conle over Bandar. There was
much unnecessary pessimism In this week's
proceedings. Oar market today moved with
in the narrow range of 6 points, but
of 6,000 tales. Tho only Texas observation
posted on tho weather map was Fort
worth, where it was part cloudy, tempera

from this there was no news hr -
Texas weather, either by private
wire. Our advices late yesterdny '

regular, within a range of 9 (touts. The
trading was entirely local nnd confined to
*o few of tho ring professionals' that quo
tations on two or three occasions Jumped m
to 6 points upon demand or offerings of lei
than a thousand bales. Closing prices were
nominally 4 to S under last night's dose.
With tho limited wire Information obtaina
ble at this tlmo in regard to exact condi
tions In Texas and Oklahoma, tho markot
will probably continue Irregular and t>e
governed to a largo extent by the Wall
street situation. Mall advices from Okla
homa and north Texas report conditions fa
vorable and the showers In southern sec
tions of Texas previous to yesterday In-
h: (Ylclent. Should this state get no rain
over Sunday, we may see some little ad
vance, but remain of the opinion that until
financial situation improves there is little
monfy In buying cotton over 12c for Jan-
nary, and would prefer to wait for a sub
stantial break on which to make purchases.
