Southern Hedge Selling and No

cline in Staple.
I
NEW YORK. Aug. 27.—Weak cables
and excellent weather conditions over ;
night caused a resonant of yesterday’s ,;
downward movement on the cotton mar- I i
kei today with first prices a net decline
of 5 to 12 points from last night's close .
After the call heavy liquidation prevailed ■
and prices receded a few points from the ■
early range. The decline soon reached 15
points for the active months with very |
I little support save scattere . covering by ,
i shorts. At the end of 15 minutes the l‘s\ ■
was *»ff 11 to 14 points from the previous I.
• lose. The most important factor
from the broken drought In Arkansas and |
North Carolina, also the beneficial rains |
in southeast Texas and central and east - ■
ern states.
The Waldorf crowd during the la ip fore
noon trading began to buy heavily and i
through their aggressiveness prices devol- i
oped on upward tendency regaining (he I
early decline in most active positions.
During the afternoon session a renewal
selling wave prevailed on Southern hedge ■
selling and reports of lower basis of spots
and spinners withdrawing their attention
from the market. This caused a sudden
backward movement and prices quickly
reacted back and below the early losses, j
The entire list being under the 11c level;
October and January receded to 10.78 with |
i December only 10 points better with the j
entire list aggregating a 5$ 14 point de-,
cline from the opening Sentiment gen- 1
erally continued very bearish while the i
weather and crop news was still favor- j
able.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net decline of 9 to I
13 points from the final quotations of
Monday.

Look tor pressure from accumulating cot
|tor; demand disappointing "
The New Orleans Times Democrat says:
Monday s decline surprised both factions,
but changed nobody's views, as almost
everybody is bearish. Two influences
were at work. Europe was not inclined
to buy for forward delivery in an unset
tled market and Galveston’s receipts
have been climbing up to last year’s fig
ure very rapidly. Under these circum
stances supply merchants have offered
cotton on a comparatively low basis,
I trusting to suspended demand and free
| movement to pull them through, and the
' gossip incident to such transactions sim
; ply pulled the props from under the ring*'
<>f course there has been plenty of talk
J abeut crop improvement in such states
■as Georgia. Mississippi and Oklahoma
All of which served to embolden the op
I era tors on ’he short side, it Is probable,
however, that the European spinner hesi
! fates more because the market is not
I steady than because values are too high,
ias contrasted with the value of the man
i ufactured article, and it Is also probable
I that exporters will display more caution
lin selling ahead against forward pur-
• chases in the Interior than some of them
I have shown so far.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Thompson. Towle & Co.: "We under-
I stand American spinners are likely to be
I good buyers and the total visible supply
is bought so largely in excess of last year
las to encourage a holding hack of this
demand."
Bailey & Montgomery: "The fact is
1 that while most people an> bearish the
short interest may be quite large, and
this max make further selling risky."
Stemberger, Sinn Co.: "We W'ouid

on good sharp breaks, and would again

COMMERCE JOURNAL
BEARISH ON OUTLOOK
OF THE COTTON CROP
NEW YORK. Aug. 27 The Journal
of Commerce, in its condition report on
the growing cotton crop, gives a very
good account of Alabama. Mississippi
and Louisiana. The following shows
the thre« mentioned states and the!
conditions:
Alabama —While < onditions are
somewhat spotted, favorable weather
conditions fnr the pa«t two or three
weeks have made marked improvement
since our last report in very inanx sec
tions. Plants aip generally w#>n fruited,
though small. Very few insects are re
ported. with the exception of cater
pillars in scattered sections. Picking
will be general by September J. but
many districts are two to three weeks
late and an early f : ost would dn enn
s’/ie’ahle damage. Labor in insufficient
supply.
Mississippi The plant is generally
small, but strong and well fruited Tht
season is fully two to three weeks late,
and an ea,rly frost would do much dam
age. Picking will be general by Sep
tember 1 and there is but little com
plaint of scarcity of labor. With the
exception of a few army w orms, insects
are doing comparatively little damage.
Some section* have received too much
rain and shedding is reported in scat
tered localities.
Louisiana— (’onditions are very spot
ted. Some sections report improvement
over a month ago with a plant of fair
size and good fruitage. Complaints of
boll weevils and caterpillars are almost
universal, with serious damage in many
districts. Excessive rains have caused
considerable shedding and encouraged
insects. Picking will begin about Sen
