After Sharp Decline the Market
Gains Strength on Short
Covering.
I NEW YORK. Aug. 28.—Cotton opened
barely steady toda\ at a decline of from
a to 9 points, being affected by weak
J cables and a generally favorable weather
report. After the call further recessions
took place. The demand was limited to
•covering by the spot interests. This gave
I the market a steady tone and a reaction
of a few points prevailed. The selling
was of a general character, while ring
sentiments continue, bearish.
Heavy realizing by McFadden and spot’
interest during the late forenoon trading
caused the market to develop a sagging
tendency in prices which receded back to
the early range. Bell Interests and ring
speculators were at times reported to be
good buyers, but their demand failed to
absorb the heavy offerings and prices
during the afternoon session was played
around the opening quotations.
i Jhe market seemed to be stagnant, and
the prevailing opinion is that traders ate
endeavoring to work prices to an even
keel t<> meet thy holidays. Saturday and
Monday next. Following the adjournment
of the holidays the government will issue
its condition report as of August 25. which
many anticipations are to the effect that
this report will show a slight improve
ment over the previous mqnth report in
stead of displaying its usual deterioration
uunng the most critical period of the cot
. ton growing season.
t Renewed buying by spot interests in
j the last hour of trading checked the
downward movement and prices quickly
regained the decline for the da\ and at
I the close the market was very steady
I with very little changes in prices from
I last night s close, the list showing irreg-
• ularity ranging from unchanged to 1 to 2
points up on near months and 2 points
| lower on distant positions'

DAILY COTTON LETTER
N’l'Al 11|; I ,E.\ .NS. Aug. 28. Early ad
vices from I'exas yesterday of aeoumula
tion spot pressure were confirmed by spot
quotations in the late afternoon, show
ing prices in the interior as much as
down and well below 11 cents. This was
probably the cause of the very disap
pointing Liverpool cables this morning
where, instead of the expected reaction,
futures showed a loss of 3 points. Weath
er developments over night were favor
able. It is feared if rains continue that
inseel damage reports would have re
suited. Tlie map this morning shows
fair over the entire belt, normal tempera
lures, rain only in a few coast districts
<>ur market opened lower, but the dis-
I position to cover prevailed, owing prob
ably to the near approach of the holi
’ days.
New York and this market will be
, closed Saturday and Mondav. and the bu
reau report will be published Tuesday,
which leaves only two days more to ar
range interests As stated yesterday, sell
ing is much more cautious now than it
was at this time last year. The lesson
of this spring has not been forgotten
The market recovered to 11.03 for De
cember. Imt on the rallv there was too
much hedge selling and the gain was
1 lost.

NKW YORK. Aug 28. Carpenter. Bag
got & Co.;
’l’he Journal of Commene reports the
following on conditions of the growing
cotton crop of Texas, Oklahoma and Mis
souri;
Texas Drouth has been the chief cause
of deterioration, and wopis have in
jured cotton to some extent Compared
with a .vear ago at this time, however,
prospects are said to he considerably
better and quite a few’ correspondents
look for the largest crop in years. ’l’he
weed averages a fair size and Is gen
eraily fruited, and shedding is compara
tively light Picking is general and in
many sections bolls are opening rapidly
Labor is plentiful. Many localities need
good rains to insure a top crop.
Oklahoma Conditions in Oklahoma are
exceedingly promising and show an im
provement ovei a month ago. when the
percentage condition was 79.3. Many cor
respondents report the best prospects in
, years, but the season is generally three
weeks late and an early frost would do
much damage. The plant is medium
size, well fruited —in many cases heavily
fruited and strong Insect damage is very
slight, boll worms appearing in some sec
tions. Cultivaion is good and picking
will be genera) by September 10. Rain
fall has been plentiful, though some sec
tions are beginning to need moisture.
Missouri—Cotton is doing well with
prospects for a good crop.
The cotton market received some sup
port from McFadden & Pell, brokers, to
day, but ring sentiment is very bearish.
McFadden, Gwathmey, Cone and Schill
were best buyers after the call. Munds.
Hartcorn and Martin were good sellers
McFedden and some of the other spot
people are buyers.
Dallas wires; “Texas generally clear
and warm. Oklahoma generally fair and
warm.”
Cotton freight rates from New York to
Liverpool have been raised to 40 cents a
hundred pounds.
Some spot houses say that Texas has
about 300,000 bales of old cotton stored
aw’ay, to work a score on planters and
buy new cotton cheaper.
McFadden. Gwathmey and Weld con
tinued to sell through the day. depressing
i the market. Pell brokers and ring spec
ulators were buyers, but market has no
snap. Some of the bear forces predict
10 cents.
We have the following wire from Dub
lin. Ga.. Laurens county; “801 l worms

rounding counties “

NKW ORLEANS. Aug. 28 Hayward &
Clark: 'l’he weather map very favorable,
after Monday's general rains the map
shows fair entire belt; normal tempera
tures; only few showers on coast. Indi
> cations are for stationary conditions, ex
cept probably increasing cloudiness; some
1 showers in north Oklahoma and north
Arkansas; rainfall only Savannah 1.00,
' ' New Orleans .50.
Houston says hut for scarcity ocean
freight room receipts would be larger.
The New Orleans Times-1 >em<>crat
says: While the remnant of the old bull
guard Is inclined to believe the bears are
t»ushing their success too far. spot mar
ket development proved a help rather
than a hindrance to the price depresser
j yesterday, though actual cotton still holds
•above a parity with contracts except at
' Mobile, which quotes middling at 10" H.
As yet Savannah has not become a heavu
seller of spots for the simple reason Sa
vannah receipts of new cotton thus far
amount so only 454 bales as contrasted
with 24.546 last year. In Texas the sit
uation is complicated by scarcity of ocean
freight room out of Galveston. The ex-
■ port demand is enormous in fact. It is
1 limited onlj by the shipping facilities as
'it is asserted that fully half a dozen
additional ships could be filled for Sep-
1 tember sailing out of Galveston. But the.
ships are not available and Texas ex
porters have begun to regret they op
posed complete railroad rate parities be
tween New Orleans and Galveston from
all of Texas, and are now seeking a re
adjustment that will enable them at will
to use New Orleans as well as Galves
ton. (’lose analysis clearly shov/s little
or no thought now among short sellers
of possibilities of a larger requirement
.land a moderate supply. The marketing
season has opened up as though the re
quirement will be large, otherwise less
would be heard of strain on the shipping
• facilities on the heels of the absorption
