.| COTTON.
t Macon, Get., Aug. 2D.
The market conitlnues to show but lit
tle (fringe and <the fluctuations are nar
row. The demand for new cotton Is ntot
os good us the factors wish.
The recent rains have damaged the
crop in this section, and as it now ap
pears, shows a decided failing off in
quality.
We Would again call the attention of
the planter to the Importance of gin
ning and packing his cotton dry, a«
gin-cut and damp cotton will not be
accepted by the trade.’ Our quotations
are still based on old cotton, iwhile new
is selling for 1-4 of a cent less.

/ GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Aug. 29.—The elevator men,
with Armour in the lead, were. buying
September and selling December wheat
today, thus arranging for the carrying
charges on the wheat in store for three
months mpre, which speculators and the
country at large were selling their long
September and buying December, trusting
that time would bring forth something
to help them out. Some of the new bus
iness went into May, however, aside
from this changing, there was scarcely a
thing In the market to attract attention.
Trading was at a lower range and with
in extremely narrow limits, the close was
9»c. under yesterday. Before the market
opened the club was weak and with i
loss of He. from yesterday, trading be
gan. Decetnber wheat opened from 56%
to 66%; sold between 56% and 56%; clos
ing at. 56%n%. Elevator people were busy
buying cash wheat at a decline of % to
% of a cent from yesterday.
Corn—Some mild raiding In corn kept
prices down in the market today. May
corn opened from 52% to 52%; sold be
tween 52% and 61%a52; closing at 62%-
% under yesterduy. Oa^h corn was in
fair demand. Prices were %c. per bush 1
lower.
Oats—Bradstreets reported an increase
of 2,130,003 bushels in available stocks of
oats. This is one reason for weakness
in this market., The absence of any out
put was anottief and the weakness ir.
wheat &f.d corn caused the other, two.
Cash oats were weak and %c. lowey.
Provisions—When hogs were up product^
were higher, and when they declined ‘
products weakened. This was the ac
tion of the' market today. During the
latter part of the session lard and ribs
had more business to their credit than
pork. The packers were the buyers and
the selling came from all puarters at the
close; January pork and ribs were un
changed from yesterday, and January
lard 2%c. higher.

LAMSON’S GRAIN LETTER.
Special Wire to Lyons Sc James.
Ne< York, Aug. 29.—Cables were weak
and very discouraging, which, together
with the, enormouse northwester ! receipts
of 1,242 cars, against 269 the same day
last year, Including Chicago, brought out
some long wheat, and liquidation was In
order from the very start. The opening
was a shade lower In price and with the
lack of absorption, prices gradually eased
off, soon reaching 66%c. for December,
a loss of % to %c. from the close last
night. The first deliveryday on Septem
ber contracts fast nearing, the bulk of
trade was changing over to future months
principally December. It is a noticeable
fact thal the feeding of whea^ at one
time was thought to become quite a fae-
tor, is gradually sinking into oblivion
for the preoent. Primary arrivals today
aggregated 1,369,000, the largest yet, and
a million over the same day last year.
Total clearances of all ports of wheat
and flour equal about 35,000 bushels. There
was a slight reaction experienced towards
the latter part of the session on a sudden
Spurt in com through frost talk, this soon
died out and the closing was barely
steady.
Corn on the more favorable crop bulle
tins Just Issued, the opening was weak
and lower, there was liquidation, but the
raiding of the past day or so was not so
noticeable. The barket was very heavy
and gradually sank to 61%a52 for May—
a loss of %c. from the close of yesterday.
Later predictions of sharp frost for nor
thern Minnesota and Wisconsin was a
sharp reaction of a half cent; It was but
momentarily, however, and closing was
steady.
Ooats, regardless of large receipt* and
the weakness in the other grain market
was held fairly steady throughout the en
tire session for may, even big increase
of 2,301.000 bushels in the visible supply
by Brad street had no apparent effect
on the market, and the closing was
al»ut at the Initial quotation for the
May position.
Provisions were strong and higher at
the opening, wUh a fair demand, princi
pally for Hrd and ribs, prices quickly
showed a gain of 16c. for September and
October options.
