COTTON.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—Havtng ad
vised the public n month ago to buy
cotton at 9% cents. Irrespective of the
government’s report, I now feel It In
cumbent upon me to say that I have
liquidated the cotton, I then purchased
personally and fear a decline in prices,
no matter what the showing of tomor
row’s government report may be. A
very bullish report has been fully dis
counted. A condition of over 80 in
view of the admitted earllnoss of the
crop would probably cause a sharp de
cline. especially as wo are face to face
with the period of heaviest receipts,
the right of which Ust year resulted in
carrying cotton to nearly 0 cents a
pound for October contracts on the
8th of October, notwithstanding the
admittedly bullish condition which
later on made possible an advance to
17 cents. TI1EO. H. PRICE.

showing and some of yesterday
were evidently nervous enough ...
but there wns a continuance of the press
ure noted during Wednesday’* trading,
and after some Irregularity, the market
aold off until the gain had been reduced
to & matter of 5 to 6 points on the more
active months. But everything consid
ered, the market absorbed the offerings
surprisingly well and Just around midday
rallied on a renewal of hull support and
some outside hwing,-attributed to the In
fluence of a bullish crop estimate by the
leader of last winter's bull campaign, pre
dicting a crop of only 10.000.000 bales.
This was not taken very seriously by lo
cal traders, but there was much appre
hension as to the probable showing of
tomorrow’s report, and the smaller shorts

to the Increased demand by advancing

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.—The day was full
of Interesting developments. In the first
place Liverpool wns due to come several
points lower, but Instead It came up sev
eral points. This was a surprise in view
of the fact that an. ex*mcmber of the
exchange who had been very prominent
on the null side of late, had cabled Liver
pool that he was out «»f the market. The
advance was due to the enormous.buying
by Alexandrian operators. These opera
tors are known to be the largest In the
trade and up to the present time have not
failed to make a great deni of money of
late years. The buying wns undoubt
edly due to conditions in the Southwest,
where the combination of boll weevil and
hot. dry weather, has ln*on too much for
the crop. Wo regard this news from Liv
erpool aa worthv of a great deal of con
sideration. The Journal of Commerce In
Us monthly cotton report, gives the con
dition aa 77.4 per cent against Ml.4 Inst
month. This Journal has been very ac
curate In forecasting the government fig
ures, and It now looks ns though a sub
stantial decline might bo expected In
the report tomorrow. It must not bo for
gotten that the crop has gone hack rap
idly since the 25th of last month, and
any figures given by Washington must
bo accepted with this In view. It la »xll
