THE LOCAL MARKET.
There wns yesterduy a fractional rise
In the price of local spot cotton, under
the Influence of the general bull feeling of
the day. The receipts were 37 bales; the
shipments 109 and the sales 66.
New York Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK, Aug. 24—The activity and
excitement continued In today's cotton
market. Liverpool at first showed a dis
position to follow the local decline of late
yesterday and with the weather good,
sentiment here seemed to have rather a
bearish average before the opening. Hut
the bulls evidently had 80m<} definite ob-
fcStJ ln J?i m U l bef ” re , l,l ° opening. But the
bulls evidently had some definite object
in mind and the market started Arm at
?? advance of 4 points on August and of
13 to 21 points on the later positions.
There was a lot of cotton for sale*at the
advance and for a time fluctuations were
very Irregular and rapid, with the list
showing hanlly any tendency when shorts
were unsetled by rumors that II. F. Page
* Co. of New Orleans had suspended.
This concern wns said to be short of the
new crop and part of the line was held In
the local market by various New York
houses. When the news of the failure
was circulated, the months supposed to be
Involved became tremendously active.
October sold from 10.37 to HM2 In about
three transactions, and the later positions
were almost* equally excited. The bulls
took profits freely on the bulge, checking
the advancing tondency and easing tho
market slightly, but in the early nfternoon
again supported. Sentiment wns badly
mixed and the trade was peculiarly
sensitive to rumors which were freely clr-
It wns stated that large short
remained outstanding for the
account of powerful local and Southern
Interests, and at every pause in the cov-
— *»-- ipported prices, which
- 11 In the afternoon they
stood about 26 to 63 points net higher with
August selling at 1" *
10.80 Octot>er at 10.6
and January at 10.67.
Toward the close the late months eased
oft slightly as room longs took profits
but there wns a final spurt of bull support
and covering that closed the market firm
at practically the best prices of the ses
sion, or a net gain of 26 to 31 points.
Sales were estimated nt 7<»0.0ftft bales.
The New Orleans market sold off ijibout
10 to 12 points after the close here, and
transactions were reported unofficially
after the close here nt n decline of about
3 points ns compared with the dosing fig
ure*. It wns n matter o^rosolp here that
the Pago concern wns short some one
hundred thousand boles of the new crop
months. There were no estimates as to
how much of this had been In the local
market and the account wns sold to bo so
scattered thnt no large losses fa.» on any
individual house, but It Is probnble that
the gradual covering of this cotton during
the session htuLconsHerable Influence In
the afternoon firmness.
Estimated receipts of cotton at the ports
•day were 4.10R hales against 2,239 bales
last week and 162 hales last year. For
the week 36,000 bales against 14.032 bales
E\V YORK, August 24.—The de-
iration reported In the cotton crop
as to be so far reaching tht I now
rd prospect of over a moderate
crop as doubtful. Taking the belt as
vhole the Atlantic states seem to
be the only section from which even
average crop can be expected.
Should an early frGst or dry weather
Injure the prospects In these states it
Is probable that cotton would go to
extreme prices, and stay there as five
short crops would convince the world
that the maximum productive capacity
of the cotton belt 1ms been attained
and the circumstances I feel Justified
In advising productors of cotton not
to sell their crop except at full prices.
If any unity of action In this respect
should be secured I think that 12 cents
a pound can be legitimately and com
mercially realised for this years’ cot
ton crop and this without manipula
tion or resort to speculative coercion.
