Weekly Market Review.
The bears In cotton were rudely startled
on Monday by n sharp and unexpected
flurry. Opening prices showed as much
as 27 points advance over Saturday's close,
and later some further Improvement was
made; the close being at a gain for the
day of 33$)<!S points. Starling on fair en
couragement from Liverpool, the bullish
feeling quickly developed Into excitement
upon the idea that cotton might, through
sympathy or otherwise, follow the sensa
tional example set by wheat. Later in
the week the advance was mostly oil lost
except l*i the near months, which were
better sustained on the slow Increase of
receipts. August closed 53 points higher
at S. 18c, while late months gained only
some 6 points— November 6.79 e and Jan
uary, 6.82 c. A (|p|irc“slng feature has
been the very small takings In LlVeritool;
spot sales there on Saturday were only
3.600 hales. Crop account* have not Im
proved. and the bureau ro|Krt on the toth
Inst, show a material reduction. The
present Indisposition to buy spot cotton
freely Is explained by the wide difference
Iwtween prices for Immediate delivery and
those for a few months later, or even for
September. It would scent reasonable

BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
Resume and Forecast n* Seen From
■Wall Street.
New York, Aug. 28.—'The securities
markets continue to follow the zigzag
course which we h ive foreshadowed as
likely to characterize the current of oper
ations throughout the summer and into
the fall months. It could not well be
otherwise. There is no force equal to the
task of moving uninterruptedly upward
the great mass of securities now resting
upon the market or liable to be forthcom
ing under a large advance in prices. Every
practical financier knows that to largely
raise the prices of the $10,000,000,000 of se
curities represented on the New York
Stock Exchange must be the work of
much more than a month or two. It is a
process that encounters a variety of
oounteiactions. It must he accompanied
with a steady growth of confidence tin the
causes that are enhancing values; and. if
it goes fa step than that process, it will
have to contend with the obstacle or real
izing by iho investing class. In tb j pres
ent case, the rise has been based upon
hof*‘S rather than accomplished facts; and
though the hopes are unquestionably well
founded, yet they have not the same in
spiriting force as realities. It Is no sma.il
experiment in Wall street maneuvering
to try what qan be done in the handling
of such an enormous mass of securities as
is now registered on the New Yorw Stock
Exchange. The operations cover, more or
less, the following kinds and amounts of
securities, listed on the exchange In De
cember, 18%:

It Is not easy to compute the amount of
money required as margins to support an
excited speculation covering this huge
mass of values. And we can discover
only through the experiment of experience
what amount of such funds Is within
reach, after the disturbing anil disastrous
conditions that have prevailed for the
last four years. Then, the “bears” we
have always with us. and their power Is
Increased In proportion as prices rise; and
as the market broadens the weak apots
Increase and the points Inviting attack
multiply. We cilc these considerations
to show that the work of carrying up
prices generally to the much higher fig
ures to which they are destined must oc
cupy many months rather than the few
weeks which over-sanguine operators
have allowed for the performance. We
may expect the course of the market to
be that of a rising zigzag: flr*t an advance
and then a reaction which wipes out part
of It; then a still higher rise, followed by
a partial relapse; and so on until tins
market culminates In a top-heavy condi
tion and topples over of Its own weight.
It would not be surprising if this pro
cess of elevation lakes the next twelve
months for its completion. The most suc
cessful way of dealing on a market 'if
this character Is to take moderate protlte,
and buy in again upon (he next drop.
Ai the present tim", the market is held

\er\ highest class of American bonds and
feel thoroughly easy about them when
they are In his box, but now that they
have begun to rise and are still rising there
aie plenty of people who will buy them
in the hope of scoring a profit within a
few months and getting fair Interest dur
ing that period.”
This is common sense forecasting, and we
are likely to ?ee its fulfillment before ,ong.
The market has yet to receive Its main
stimulus. It has risen so far upon antic
ipations. When we witness the realiza
tion in uniform large increases of earning?
among the railroads; when the swelling of
the interior demand for merchandise
based on dollar wheat has told Its laic in
the distributing markets; when the in
creased demand for goods begins to ad
vance commercial values; when our enor
mous cotton crop teaches the stage of
marketing; and when another large sur
plus of exports over imports brings a free
importation of gold,—then we shall have
the force of things seen In place of the
hope of things unseen, and Wall street will
witness such a harvest as it has not seen
for many years past- A few weeks more
will land us in that stage of the great re
covery; which, however, is not to lie ex
pected to exhaust the upward tendency of
prices.
