New York. Aug. 5.-J. 8. Bnche A Co.;
Liverpool closed. No incentive from the

quiet, rugging market today. Weather map

with rains in plenty. The government re
port is not credited to any great extent.
Ihu figures wore at variance with private

July. Much realizing on the report, and
very little buying to support prices, f ‘

The New Orleans Picayune: “The cot

In southern Mississippi, and the whole of
Louislaun, according to correspondents' re
ports to The Picayune. August will prove
the crucial mouth. A slight overplus of rain
will cause t eve re shedding of the plant, ana
lack of moisture will result in premature

Prices advanced this morning, but notwith
standing the firmness the- market ruled
very dull, with trading confined to pit trad
ing and the shorts who betrayed nervous
ness over the bullish weather conditions In
Texas. Although showers occurred In the
gulf states nnd other parts of the belt, the
condition In Texas still continues n <Hh-

the Influence of the Liverpool market, ow

1. M. FAIRCHILD & CO.’S
WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.
Now Orleans. Aug. 6.—The action of the
market since tue publication of the bureau
report Friday has been n great disappoint
ment to the friends of cotton. AH thlugs
considered, this report was probably the
most bullish document ever put before the
public, yet prices closed Saturday within a
ww points of where they were before the
r<'I*ort was published. While some are In
clined to discredit the figures put out by
th*> government, we believe thnt a careful
ftndy of conditions given by states will
about conform to general Ideas of those who
have kept up with the progress of tho crop.
The ngures for the Atlantic states show
considerably above those of last year, while
the middle and western atnten are far be-
throw over their holdings. As public busl-
n<*SK is very mnch restricted, due to adverse
legislation In the South, the buying power
wns very limited nnd not sufficient to take
enre of the heavy selling orders. “The
prominent New York opera for" Hooded the
country with l»earlsh telegrams, ond not
withstanding his nttlude of some weeks ago
he now comes to see no good In the stnple.

5® many bullish arguments can be set forth
that we do not hesitate to advise our
