The TfuiCH-Deiunernt presents Its corre

mouth of August. The eoiisensiiM of opin
ion Is to this effect:
1. District deterioration has been the rule
throughout the licit, though the alluvial dla*

provement.
2. In some parts of Texas the detectors*

4. The supply of labor for picking seems
to lie fhlrly adequate, though some Vet Ions
complain In tills regard.
5. The movement will not lie in full
swing till the Inst days of September or the
first days of October.
«. Farmers seem disposed to accept cur
rent prlees, so far. at least, as the first
pickings are concerned, but there I
strong movement to hold for 15c.
7. These reports are brought down

HAYWARD. VICK & CLARK’8
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, Kept. 9.—Liverpool opened
the week with a good showing In futures
and spot*. The former were nlwnt 4 point*
better than dm* and s|s*t prices are 3 point*
higher. Sales large-total 10.031. On our
side trading on the government publication
overruled nil other consideration*. The
eensns report, published at 9 o'clock, give*
191.416 ginned to Hcptcmlicr 1. against 407.631
Inst vear. 476.655 In 1995 and 374.821 In 1994.
Tills figure was somewhat larger than ex-
peeled and led to selling around the opening
and a loss of ats»nt tfi jiotnts. A favorable
turn In the weather i*rer Sunday likewise
suppressed support. Showers were quite
general and of satisfactory extent hi the
territories. Arkansas ami the central .states.
Partly cloudy to fair weather prevailed over
Texas, lull teui|»eritfnre* are lower and Indi
cation* point to sliuwo'* In the next forty-
eight hours. Trading held around 12.67 for
OetolHw during the first hour, but a sharp
bleak of another 19 |m»Iii(* occurred on pub
lieatlon of the crop report. This gives tin
couditlou of tin* crop 72.7 against 77.3 Iasi
vear, 72.1 In 1905, St.ltIn the big crop yea 1
1904 niul 81.3 In the small crop year 1903.
Needles* to say that this condition figure
represents e very rritlenl outlook for full
supplies, and Aveatber condition* must Is*
perfect until after the frost period to Jus-
tIfv nnv lienrlsh om-rntlons on It. The mar
ket «u*t hnppeiitMl to Ik* in 11 mood to go
down, and that I* why we had n decline.
Now that them* report* are out of the way
the llquldattoii has reduced long commit
ments. any bullish new developments are
liable to take quick effect. M enthrr coudl
tlou* will play an Important part from now
on. This bureau condition Is about 12 point*
lower than In lf>>4 and a!>ont Ijmlnta lower
than III the snuill crop year .1903. nnd there
has 1h*cii cotislderahlc deterioration In the
etiMturii states slnee August 25. .The mar
ket ut present 1* sreml.v around 12.61 for
Oetolier. Trade here-Is n little afraid of
bear pressure from New York nnd are
holding bnek their support, but the under
lying feeling Is bullish with confidence In
producers t«> withstand nil manipulative
pressure by eupltiil III the North.
