Mnnitor. VOL. XXVI. BEARISH ON GINNING; BULLISH ON CONDITION. New Oreans, Sept. 17.—The cotton market this week is going: to i>e chiefly concerned with the October government reports on condition and ginning: that is, unless the foreign political situa tion should suddenly grow in im portance. As the crop situation now stands, or is generally under stood, the report on ginning will be bearish, while the report on condition is generally expected to he bullish. The report on gin ning will take the crop down to next Sunday, while the report on condition will carry it to Monday. Both reports will be issued on Octoper 22. This week there will be several forecasts of both reports from private sources and they will help mould opinion. The weather conditions of this week will be watched closely, for unfavorable weather would have a bearing on both reports. The Moroccan situation prob ably will continue to be the chief hope of the bear side. As a rule, the final settlement of such matters is generally preceded by a large crop of rumors which of ten have more than their legiti mate effect on the market. The market is apt to be more or less nervous until something definite is announced. The September spot situation will attract a good deal of atten tion, for it will be late enough in the month for the trade to form an opinion of the extent of the committments for the last half of the month. If they prove to be as large as it is claimed they are in some quarters, the advan tage will be with the long side. Any strength derived from the covering of September shorts will be only temporary, until it can be shown that the demand has extended into October and the later months. Major John D. Helmken, one of Savannah’s best known citi zens, was buried in that city on Sunday, having been a resident there about 37 years. For Quick Side.
