New York. Aug. 12.—The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 1
points to an advance of 1 point, or past
about a* due on the cab.es. Continued
light showers were reported from the
sections east of the Mississippi, but on
the whole the weather map was con
sidered favorable,'and that there was
very little baying pow*r in the market
was soon after the call began to work
down, ar.d in an irregular way reached
a net decline of about 4fr7 points fust
oefor* midday on a Surry of selling led
by N* Orleans. Later there was a
recovery to about the opening figures
prering by mom shorts but the
market in the middle of the afternoon
again weakened on New Orleans sell
ing and the operations of certain iocai
professional interests and rea. ted to
about the previous tow point. The
close was up a point or so from the
lowest at a net decline, of 20* points.
.Sales were estimated at 75,'00 bales.
There seemed to be very little change
in the general situation ar.d operations
during the session were of a scalping
character.

Relieve It T*eles to Talk of Higher
Prices With flood Weather.
New York. Aug. 12.—Every effort
w'as made this week to bring about an
advance in the cotton market, either
for the sake of realizing profits on
the blocks bought after the govern
ment report, or to provide a suitable
slilng basis in anticipation of a de
cline later on. It will be remembered
that October advanced with 5 points
of 10c on the previous upturn and
nfany conservative trader* failed to
gee a way for a substantial reaction
as long a* the August report from
Washington showed so flattering a
progress in the crop. This proved to he
the case in rise this week Above 9.8f1c,
a great deal of cotton was for sa!“,
and during the latter part of the
week, the market appeared to be
worked toward a lower level. Rains
have been heavy and indicate that
the worst possible development at this
season of the year, namely, drouth is
no longer to be feared. On the con
trary. the friar of too much moisture
Is uppermost in the minds of the trade.
But a broad view of the situation
leads one to place very little Im
portance to this consideration. A re
view of August weather during 1882,
1891, 1894 and 1898, all record break
ing crops up to the respective years,
show that the prevailing complaint

HAYWARD, VICK A CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter from Sew
York.
New York. Aug 12. —Cables r—ported
ir.mgni6c.itit charges. The weather was
just about the same as we have re
cently reported, and from no direction
was there anything to indicate any
material change in the situation. The
market reflected the featureless condi
tion of the news by opening steady.
Orders were pretty welt divided. Sen
timent was bearish, just as it has been
but there was nothing fresh to stimu
late offerings, and the market ruled
irregular, within a point or two of the
opening, until hist before midday,
when setting by a broker supposed to
represent spot interests caused a some
what heavier tone and a decline of
about 4 to 7 points, as conspired with
last night’s figures. But the easier
tender.' y did not promote more ag
gressive selling and the market later
recovered about half the toss.
We feel be Irish on the market, but
can't advise sales, except on a sharp
bulge, should one occur. Picking :s
said to be in progress rapidly in the
Southwest, though delayed east of the
Mississippi by runs
