Aa la gener ally known, the decline In cotton from around 1044c to 9c has thus far failed to stimulate aggressive baying of a kind that would chnnge the character of the cotton market. Many regarded It probable that some Influence might be exerted by the present report and new buyers of such volume would l>e found as would nhsorh the floating supply and carry on an advance In the future market. But this morning the Kouth seemed to l>e soiling rather than buying, nml this whs a very discouraging feature for thorn* who looked for a contin ued rise on short covering aud more general buying, lu fact, nt times prices ran off very easily, and the advance seemed to be more the r«*ult of professional buying than anything else. As we stated yesterday, on every advance now the Hoath will tie found a seller of cotton. While the figures may not Indicate overproduction. It must not tie forgotten that there Is now growing some 11,000,000 or 12,000,000 bales or cotton, and the South has this for sale. The market Is likely to lie a good scalping affair for some time to come, with fluctuations above and below the present level. L. J. ANDER80N & CO.’S DAILY COTTON LETTER New York, Bept. ll.-COTTON-Llverpool endeavored to help the bulls out this morning nnd took 8,000 hales nt nn advance of 9 points, also futures rose 844 and 9 points, which wns better than due, but the big beara oaid, "Nay, we are not ready for prices to advance/* Hence New York refused to respond, nnd dragged around all morning at about yesterday’s closing prices Uslng.past crops as a guide and comparing "with the largest of them all we cannot flguro more than 11,260,000 bale* from yesterday’a condition figures, yet the lienr crowd nre able out of that showing to derive a crop of 12,250,000 or 13,000,000 I tales. The government figures yesterday, 77.3, show a condition 9 per cent poorer than the same time In the big crop year nnd the acreage planted la 10 per cent less. By figuring this out It will be, seen, that the Indicated yield Is 11.296,145 bales, pro- vliletl the season Is equally as favornbh* for the balance of the time.
