tinues In the market for printing
‘cloths. Prices are unchanged, on a 3-

Ware & Leland’s Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. Aug. 26.—We have had
ie of the most exciting. If not the most,
exciting markets since the Sully collapse
In March. It will be recalled that In our
letter of last week, we pointed out the
fact that a great many Western and
Southwestern people had made consider
able money In wheat speculation, * nnd
there were dangers, If not nctunl signs,
of this speculation working into cotton.
This Is exactly whnt has happened
nnd the results were oven more sensa
tional than any one regarded as being wlt-
in the realms of probability at this sea
son of the year. The wild advance of
from $5 to $7 n bale has carried prices
to pretty close to 11 cents a pound. It
has resulted In a considerable readjust
ment of the various Interests In the con
tract market, that Is to say, many who
were short nave bees forced to cover,
many who were long have taken profits,
new shorts have sold cotton nnd tho nrice
re^bed n point where holders In the South
were willing to sell for delivery In con
tract here. All this has operated to make
fluctuations rather sensational nnd the
course of the market decidedly erratic and
Irregular. A grent mnny have been pre
pared 'or the sharp ml wince, um tnetr at
tention has been devoted to crop condi
tions. nnd they hnve Ignored other factors
of Infinitely more Importance as price
makers. The advance has not been un-
expeelrd by mnny scute observers, nnd
the situation Is still a rather uncertain
one.
This Is due to the fnct that thero Is
practically no cotton left over from Inst
year, and the new crop Is available In
small quantities only. In other words,
tbs trader In contracts Is trading In pnper
cotton, which has very little to do, at
the moment, with the actus! stuff. Tho
price of pnp«r cotton enn go up or down
a cent, or two rents a pound entirely Ir
respective of tho slxo of the cotton crop.
Europe has bought a large quantity of
cotton for future delivery, nnd these con
tracts will not he sold until tho* actual
cotton Is available. Now, If the gambling
community In the shnne of large opera
tor*. feel that the market can bo whirled
again to another nnd a higher level. It Is
not Impossible for the market to have
another advance. For 'this reason short
selling should be done on a very cautious
and conservative basis, with perfect un
derstanding that what Is t»etng sold Is not
the actual cotton nnd will not be Influ
enced bv the size of the cron until that
cotton begins to move freely. On the
other hand, prices nround 11 cents before
the movement begins would seem to dis
count a greet deni and for this reason

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 26.—Spot cotton
quiet and unchanged, with sales of 382
bales. Including 60 bales to arrive.
Futures were unsettled at the opening
nnd prices were 1 point higher to • points
lower. The market was flooded with
cablegrams from Liverpool, which were
very bullish^ But little rows was sent In
from the country, and crop killers seemed
to be r«stln*f after their hard work of the
last few days. The weather map was
ngain good, the greater portion of the
bed b**lng clear. Rains were reported In
three or four districts, but It was consid
ered that they did more good than harm.
Vn the early half of the session the market
was devoid of thoee sensational features,
which have excited speculation recently.
Bear* found sn Item of encouragement In
the fact that H. F. Page 4k Co. had met
their obligation* In full among local brok-
c*wed weak, showing net losses of 2i i
