DAILY COTTON LETTER
New York, Aiif. 14.—,T. B. Bnehe A Co.:
ruble* were wenk nnd Texn* bud pretty
good rains. Fort Worth, up lit the drought-
strlekeii part of the state, getting nil Inch.
But notwithstanding, prlees for (ho short
*e**ion only show a net decllue of 8 points.
IiittlNl dmire* were 6012 |>olnts lower, nnd
wight hove l>een further depressed, but the
leading trader for the benr party wn* out of
town: The weather tnap wus generally fa
vorable nnd the week-end consumption fig
ure* were bullish. Spinner*' takings of
Amcrlenii exceeded Inst yenr by 69,000, nnd
the risible supply showed a stibsfnnrJnl de
crease. On the other hand. Fail Hirer sales
were only 90,000 pieces* and there were re
ports of a few mills In North Carolina shut
ting down, some for want of cotton nnd
others for want of order*. The innrket Is
likely to continue n atnhlmrn nfTnir, with
a strong l»ear party on one side playing for
He cotton nnd n strong but more or less
sen tiered long Interest on the other. The
bears nre going by "past performance*" and
on the theory that offering* will l»e very
free when the movement set* In, while the
el. A tomporny decline’ on good weather
and movement would not be unusnni, but
eventually cotton should sell much higher.
New York. Aug. 14.—Further good rains
over night In Texas, with Indication* of
more today or tomorrow, and the first good
ratn In Oklahoma for some week* had tho
effect of depressing futures at Liverpool 5
iwiIntH. musing n very wenk opening nnd 10
ellne here from Inst nlght'a
at" operators Unit tho market suceiwsfully
restated the effort* of the t»enr element to
force price* thru the 12e bnsls. There wn*
n recovery of nearly all the loss shortly
after the end of the flrat hour, but the
innrket Anally closed Irregular nt net de
cline of about 8 |N>fntN for the day on the
active option*. It will continue more of «
weather innrket than anything else for the
next few days, with conditions In Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas the dominating fac
tor on speculative position.
Nsw York, Aug. 14.—Ths cotton market
during the past week has ben rather a *calp-
ing affair witk fluctuation* ruling, between 30
and 00 point*, but sronnd II%c there.*eems
to be tuple support to take care of all .of
fering* and check any* further decline. The
fall term* to bring in good buying. Those
who arc selling on the claim that all
bad new* It in and that no great advance can
probstdjr be accomplished until some addi
tion*! i-onvinring evidence ss to the small-
ness of this crop is forthcoming, may be cor
rect temporarily, bat they overlook the fact
that this drouth has extended over three
weeks since the date up to which the data
was compiled on which the last government
report was Dsued, and while they have test-
tered rain* in Texas today, it is nothing like
s general relief, so that the possibilities of
rucuperatlon by the plant are less and leas
every day that passes, Reports from many
sections describe the plants fruiting at the
top with no prospect of lower maturity of
new fruit. During August, almost without ex
ception, the plant and general condition ahowa
a deterioration. If there la a deterioration
from the laat report, it should mean almoat
a disaster.
This recent decline we contend, was un-
juatiled, but purely doe to bearish pressure
when heavy liquidation was going on. The
only bearish argument put forth Is that the
morement will eventually prove a pressure on
values and that manufacturers who have
watched the market for many years are well
aware of the faet that lower urices generally
rule before the first of December when they
ran take advantage of tame to bo* their needs.
The news from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texts,
Louisiana and Mississippi i* exceptionally
bullish. Georgia seems to have the best pros
pects of aay state. Alabama conditions very
spotted, some sections describe fair crop while
others describv poor. South Carolina and
North Carolina are said to be well under laat
rear, and all the reports are so overwhelm
ingly bad that we feel they must he regarded
in a measure at true. While there may be
bearish effort* which will prove suceesaful
and temporarily force prices down, we be
lieve ultimately cotton will sell much higher
than present prices.
Naw York, Aug. IS.—Our telegraphic ad
vices from the Routh indicate that as a role
the weather has been favorable during the
week. Rain haa fallen at most points, with
the precipitation light or moderate as a rule.
Advices denote that the eroo ia improving
In a number af localities, but V is claimed
that la Texas cotton continue/ to deteriorate.
