TODAYS MARKETS COTTON. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—Weak cables a F f L excellent weather conditions over night caused a resunarit of yesterday s downward movement on the cotton mar ket- today with first prices a net decline of 0 lo .J- points from last night's close. After the call heavy liquidation prevailed and prices receded a few points from the early range. The most important factor for the decline is believed to be caused from the broken drought in Arkansas and North J?‘’-’nlina, also the beneficial rains m soui.

BEARISH REPORTS LOWER COTTON Heavy Realizing Among Spot Interests Sends Prices to Lowest Point. i • I NEW YORK, Aug 26.—Free offerings , from a number of sources caused the cot- I ton market to open 3 to 12 points lower There were favorable crop reports from various parts of the belt. Spot houses both here and the South were liberal sell i ers. A private dispatch that the Texas | crop would reach 5,000,000 bales was also a factor. After the call the market was steady on covering by the room The market was stagnant during the late forenoon trading, with little or noth ing doing and prices firmly maintained around tne opening. Later during the afternoon session, renewed hedge selling and large spot interests liquidating caused a downward movement in prices of 5 to 8 points. The many reports of bearish character and the late weather map show ing Indications (or favorable weather overnight were believed to be factors for the heavy realizing among traders. The ring crowd during the last half hour of trading began to liquidate heav ily and prices showed further weakm ss, with October and January going below the 11c level and prices throughout th'e list receding to Jhe lowest levels since the recent bear movement prevailed. At the close the market was easv with prices at a net decline of 18 to 26’ points from the final quotations of Saturday. RANGE OF NEW YORK FUTUR«S. C£■.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 26 —Develop ments and news over Sunday were against the market and explain the decline in Liverpool, where futures were about 4 points lower than due; spots 5 points lower; sales. 6,000 bales. Weather condi tions over Sunday were very favorable; part cloudy to fair and warm, some scat tered showers. Indications are for a con- I tinuanee of these conditions, except that the Western states will have increasing cloudiness and rain and cooler weather will come on them in the next few days. The movement of new cotton is picking up rapidly. Galveston received 5,000 bales more today than last year and ex pects 33,000 to 35,000 tomorrow, against 33,000 last year. The market opened a few points easier, but held very steady. Fear of a lojv bureau checks selling and provides a demand to cover shorts, which explains the steadiness of the market.

Ray & Co.: "We expect no permanent advance and continue to advise sales of January on all periods of strength."

HABERSHAM KING REPORT- 5 MKT Habersham King’s cotton crop condition i report by states follows: Georgia - The crop must have marked improvement through the state. South Carolina While rain would be beneficial to the whole state I neverthe less consider the week s development as favorable. Missisjppi —Some complaints of defi i cient rainfall; otherwise week’s develop ( ments favorable. : Alabama As indications are very prom- ising for general rains one most cmisidvr the developments of the week as favor ] able. Louisiana Week favorable; some sec tions complain of insufficient rainfall, but . no damage as yet threatened. Tennessee' While more moisture would be acceptable, no section is in immediate need and the crop must have made good ] progress. . Arkansas On the whole the week’s de velopments are stand-off. Should moder ate or good rains fall next week no dam age will be done. Should dry weather con ditions continue damage will be imminent. Oklahoma- As a whole the state has abundant moisture in the soil to carry this crop to maturity, but of course fur ther moderate rains would not be in jurious. Neither let me say in passing that their absence would have any seri ous effect. Texas—-Just byway of a joke to see what my ideas at this time may be worth. I will sugirest a probability of 5,000.000 bales for Texas, ’unless future develop ment proves very unfavorable. North Carolina- T’he crop on the whole , Would be better if good, soaking rains came; it still, however, maintains its ex cellent condition which was threatened with deterioration last week. In conclus ion there is very little to be said on the week’s development. While trailing close to danger line of too dry. no section of the entire belt is injuriously so except small as in southwest and west central Texas, a negligible factor considering the whole belt. COTTON SEED OIL. >\EW YORK.
