One of the wont weather mape posted thla season failed to move prlcee much, and after the openlnc the market ransed over only 4 points, In aplte of a atorm warning from Ihe government to the efTect that a tropical atorm In the Quit of Mexico wae likely to move north and do aome damage In the cotton belt. Another atorm wae also headed to the cotton belt to the northweat, but thla did not ecare Ihe shorts much either. Much rain was shown on the weather map, especially |n Texas, and the fore cast promlaed more moisture over a large portion of the belt. Even the bean had to acknowledge that the weather waa unfavorable, but this did not help prices much. Liverpool waa Indlntd to be bullish, and sent, over private dispatches saying that spin- nan wen getting uneasy and wen more Inclined to buy. At the same time futures wen better than expected. Thla, together with the bad map. caused a higher opening here, but after the opening the market fell flat. The weekly weather reports, a* usual, were no Influence. Movements were on a large scale. Porte, 47,153 for today, and operston were more Inclined to else up the movement and the demand for the actual stuff than the weather. There wae nothing vary strong about the spot demand, and, on the whole, buyer* appeared disposed to hold off. If wet weather continues for a couple of days longer, aa some weather ex perts claim It will, shorts will undoubt edly get nervous, as reports of damage to the open cotton and the stopping of picking will roll In great numbers. It Is a weather market and therefore an uncertain one. For Ihe moment the short side looks rather dangerous, ex cept to those with long purses. September. , Sept.-oet... Oct .*Nov. , . Nov.-Dee. . .

There was considerable talk about nji Increase In the receipts. Thut Liver- pool prices were depressed, partly from this side. Is a fact admitted In private dispatches. Yet It Is quite as true that the spinning demand In Liverpool shows a distinct falling off and there, as well ns here, Is a general expecta tion that In the near future something will occur that always occurs about October 1, as regularly as the autumn season arrives—receipts will Increase. That Is admitted. The question Is, how t * ley Increase nnd how long will they Increase If prices decline Already there arc signs that the South ern planter Is becoming restive under the recent decline of $lo a bale and Is disposed to hold back cotton. The actual crop movement at the present time fa small, whether because of the lateness of the season,nhe holding back of the crop, or some sluggishness In the demand, English spinners' opin ions differ. What $s certain is that cotton Is not coming forward as freely as expected, and there are those who predict that It will not until prices take an upward turn.”—Glbert & Clay. New Orleans, Bept. 25.—Tlmen-Dem- ocrat: “With the supply of actual cot ton Increasing without full correspond ing Increase In current demand, surface speculators have become active oper ators on the bear side of the account, and holding the market, therefore, proved an uneasy task yesterday, not withstanding the approach of a de structive atorm on the cotton belt coast and forecasted ralna. over many sec tions of the Southern states. Hulls can coin capital out of wet weather when the fields are covered with open cot ton, but bears have ancient custom, freer offerings from Texas, and n ralh. er positive waiting policy on the part of spinners which they are able to bring Into play aa an offset to the an ticipated bullish tenor of the coming bureau condition report. Consequently room argument has broadened out somewhat and extreme low price views are again being voiced.
