DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans, Aug. 16.—In the absence of
fresh developments and news of n strictly
cottou character the market keens close
pace with doings in Wall street. Tho public
press this morulug voiced the sentiment
that the worst trouble was over, good
stocks were firmer this morning uud cottou

conditions could hardly be better. Frc-
fiurnt showers a ml seasonable temperatures
have boon the* rule for the past six .weeks.
The bullish Texas news Is still the main
support of tho market, but the feeling
among traders Is by no means ns harmo
niously bullish ns a month ago. The
breach It? the camp la widening dally, and
only the experience that the central and
eastern states are most exposed to tho prob.

prerente more aggressive showing by the
l*esr element. The two factions taking a
more dettnlto shape Is likely to cause greater
fluctuations snd livelier markets. New York
report* that the bear leader covered exten
sively on this depression, which news led
to buying by scalpers In,anticipation of at
tempts to Improve tho selling basis, using
the advance In stocks ns n lever. Trad
ing here settled around 12.30 for October.
The market Is In n waiting attitude. Any

‘The first glttpers' report will be Issued
September 9 at 10 a. m., and mi the same
day the government report firing the grow,
fng erop at 11 a. in.
Lamnrque. Tex.: “A heavy ruin . ..
ere last bight, the first good rnln since
lay 9.”
Cicero, Tex.: “Hard rnln and wind storm
yesterday afternoon; lasted an hour and
was deficient. If there Is no second growth,
the scasou will be over by September 15."
Cold Springs. Tex.: "There have been
good rains In this section during the past
few day8 and a good cotton crop is cer

Gonzales. Tex.: "A light shower fell.

of these one Is ns high ns 100 and with traco

Looks like the Price crowd putting out

Chicago, Aug. 16.—Bartlett, Frasier ft
Carrington: Wo still believe thnt wheat
is a purchase every time It goes below 90c.
Heavy rains fell throughout Illinois ami
Indiana. This will tend to further deterio
rate the quality of wheat and oats, which
are largely yet In the shock. Tills rain Is
not needed for the corn crop In the Mis
sissippi valley and w|!l tend rather to re
tard Its ninturlty than he of any benefit.
Tho quality of the oats certainly will not
ho Improved, and v.e still believe In much
higher prices before the crop year ends for
onts.
The Chicago Evening Post: Finley Bar-
roll ft Co.’s crop expert, George 51. Le-
Count, wired from Fargo. X, Dak., under
date of August 13, as follows: "Weather
cool, favorah’e; think what uninjured wheat
there Is on hlg'i laud flue; crops good from
Lisbon here." Wrltlug from Lisbon, N.
Dak., he says; "The weather for the Inst
few days has been very unfavorable tot
filling wheat. I«ast Saturday It was *“ *“
the shade, but'there wns a strong
blowing, and I do not think the crop wns
fujured much; at least It does not show any
damage ns yet; but In South Dakota I am
afraid the grade will he Injured liy the ex
treme hot weather. The weather turned
cool ngnln yesterday, and It Is cool and
favorable today. Crops are In good condJ-
tlon here and will make a good average
rop.’-'
The following letter, under date of August
t, from Captain Phillips, of Newton, liana.,
i Bnrtlett-Frnxler: 'The telegraph opera
tor anld ho could not get a message through
and I write you Instead. The thrashing Is
about completed In this section, and the
movement will t*o over sooner thou I ever
saw before. The weather the last week
has been so hot—over 100 every day on my

how much. The farmers 1 have talked to

of hard and red winters—say about half of

Following to Jackson Bros, from
Northern Elevator Company, Winnipeg:
"Our market nt length gave way to the
continued decline In yours. Our crop condl
tlons do not warrant this decline. Th*
crop Is very late, and every day the Inst

Rlllysr Investment Co. says: The demand
for investment securities (s still very light,
reflecting the uncertain condition of the
money market. Some Inquiry Is noted for
Atalnta bond a and other standard municipal
Isstiea, but sales are smnll In volume slid
no recovery In prices Is ns yet reported.
Tho placing of the ahort-tlme state loan nt
2 per cent with local bank* had a good
sentimental effect. Considerable Improve
ment Is looked for as soon us tho money
conditions In Fn stern market* become more
favorable. Private Investor* are already
absorbing good securities at the present
tavel In anticipation of such Improvement.
This demand will doubtless Increase consid
erably during the fail mouths.
Georgia railroad stock seems to have
about reached Its low level, and some de-
••mild Is reported.
The effect of pending legtslstlon upon the
Central of Georigu income bonds has Im*«ii
scarcely appreciable. Central Railroad and
Banking f,s are selling at a new low record
and seem to us a goo*I jnirrhase at the price.
Atlanta Brewing and Ice has naturally
Buffered a huge decline, owing to the nt-
ceiitly enacted prohibition law. Thu best
obtainable quotations are 60 hid, 80 asked,
no sales.

Robustness.
the demand from nn over-extended short ac
count would Ik* enough to counterbalance
the distribution of stocks by tho large In
terests who put supporting orders In at low
prices. The market accordingly felt Its way
very cautiously. It opened up following a
higher range- for American Issue* abroad
mid gained more ground during the first
hour. The rise wns then halted Tiy a heavy
fall In Allls-Chnlntera stocks, which wns ac
companied by alarming rumors regarding
the credit nnd financial standing of the
company. These stories met with prompt
denial from official sources, and when these
stocks rallied nil advance III tho general list
wns resumed. The volume of iiusluesa at
rising quotations was, liy comparison with
the previous day s, very light snd by reck
oning of those who Judge mainly by techni
cal uidlentiona this wiis not an altogether
favorable .sign. Nevertheless there was no
further pressure on stock* for sale and the
