that the demand from shorts showed no
stimulating effect whatever upon the

Spot business continues disappointing;

Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW’ YORK. Aug. 23.—Carpenter, Bag- |
got Co.: Gwathmey, Hicks, Jr.. Geer,
Lone, Pearsall, Gifford sold the market
down today after an early advance. New
Orleans is said to be a seller; also Mem- ;
phis. There was no support to the mar- :
ket; only profit-taking by shorts.
ft Is rumored on the floor that the Na
tional Ginners’ report will be 76.
Following is trom Cordill: “From Au
gusta, Ga., 'o Greenwood and Greenville.
S. and Spartanburg. N. C., crops are
very good. The A tian tics show' general
improvement since the last trip. Crops |
have been lald-by clean and continue
fruiting well, though much of it is still '
small and late. General rains would be,
beneficial in the Carolinas, but none of
the crops are suffering as yet. The.
weather has been generally favorable for
the past five weeks.”
Dallas wires: “Texas -Western, north- .
e*’’ and panhandle generally clear; bal- j
ance generally cloudy and pleasant Ok- .
lahoma Generally clear and cool."
McGhee. Carpenter. McCabe and Weld ■
brokers and McElroy and Gifford have
bought sonu- cotton today, while Schley.'
Gwathmey. Hubbard w’ere best sellers.
Guild, Wilson and Lester bought March, 1

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23.—-Hayward & ,
Clark: The weather map shows excellent '
condition, fair in north Texas. Oklahoma, i
Arkansas, north Louisiana and north i
Mississippi. Generally cloudy in south I
ami central Texas and eastern states.
Good rains at Taylor, showers in south
Texas, lower central and eastern states.
Good rains in North Carolina. Indications
are for unsettled weather, more rain .
in central and south Texas, cloudy and
scattered showers in the eastern states;
generally fair in the northwestern quar
ter of the belt.
Galveston has received to August 22
73.461 new bales.
Austin. Tex., wires “Three-fourths of
an Inch rain up to noon, good rains in
Temple and Taylor. More than 1 inch at
Hancock: fair rain in San Marcos, big re
lief in this section."
Telegraph companies show some rain
in south and central Texas. Big rain at
Cameron, south central Texas: threaten
ing in San Antonio and Galveston
Port Gibson. Miss., reports first bale
long staple cotton; only two da's later
than last year Clinton, La., received Its
first bale today
The New Orleans Times Democrat says:
Nobody got any satisfaction out of yes
terday'h cotton market. Georgia came in
as a competitor of the early sellers of
Texas, making a big splash w’ith a very
few bales. Liverpool sent European
weather advices that might have served
bullish correspondents In Texas High
ocean freight rates and the sold-up con
dition of fre’ght agents’ hooks again
played a part in the day’s gossip Profes
sional crop reporters kept the mills and
th? wires busy telling their principals
how bad the Texas crop condition is.
The spot markets continue toward lower
I levels, but contracts are still well below
a parity. Under the circumstances,
neither factions found reason to cheer.
In the opinion of some deep students of
the market at the drift, values will be
shaped solely by the state of trade and
the promise thereof, because, they say,
even should the crop prove all that con
servative bears expect, the yield will
hardly exceed 14.250,000. which, in a good
trade year, as such things are now
gauged, would not be too much.
The market is paying little attention
to the rumor that the National Ginners
will report condition around 76 The
prevailing opinion here is that the bureau
report will show several points under last
year's August conditions. Sellers are
scarce, short covering continues and ti»e
market is steady.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Baily Montgomery: Existing condi
tions favor selling rather than buying
Logan & Bryan. The market looks low
enough, especially with large consumption
in sight at these prices.
Morris H. Rothschild & Co.: We look
for a trading market between now and
i the bureau report.
■ Stemberger. Sinn & Co.. We prefer to
bu.v on good reactions.
Miller Co.: We maintain our opti
mistic views on the market.
J. S. Bache X* Co.: We think the dis
tant positions a purchase for a turn on
any soft spot.
