NE\\ YORK. Aug. 28. -Carpenter. Bag
g«'t A Co.: There was further liquidation
in the near positions in cotton seed oil to
il'l"' and the market was easy. Tomor
: , row will be the first notice day for Sep- I
. tember and the crowd seemed to fear J
heavy tenders, although some operators
. predicted that they will be small. How- !
: ever, there was an inspiration to transfer
■ holdings to the later months and these
operators absorbed the interest of the
trade in the absence of outside demand. '

LITTLE CHANGES
INGOTTON PRILL
After Sharp Decline the Market
Gains Strength on Short
Covering.
' NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Cotton opened
barely steady today at a decline of from
i•> io 9 points, being affected by weak
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. Pell interests and ring
speculators were at times reported tn be
good buyers, but their demand failed to
; absorb the heavy offerings and prices
during the afternoon session was played
j around the opening quotations
> The market seemed to be stagnant, and
! the prevailing opinion is that traders are
i endeavoring to work prices to an even
keel to meet the holidays, Saturday and
j Monday next. Following the adjournment
<'f the holidays the government will issue
its condition report as of August 25. which
i many anticipations are to the effect that
I this report will show a slight improve
■ ment over the previous month report In
l-stead of displaying its usual deterioration
| during the most critical period of the cot
ton growing season.
Renewed buying by spot interests in
the last hour of trading checked the
downward movement and prices quicklj
regained the decline for the dav and at
the close the market was very steady
I with very little cha.nges in prices from
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
NEW < tiII.EANS. Aug 28. -Early ad
vices from Texas yesterday of accumula
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
insect damage, reports would have re
stilted. The map this morning shows
fair over the entire belt, normal tempera
lures, rain only in a few coast districts
Our market opened lower, but the dis-
I position to cover prevailed, owing prob
jably to the near approach of the holl-
I days.
New York and this market will be
I closed Saturday and Monday, 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 lias not been forgotten
The market recovered to 11.03 for De
cember. but on the rallv there was too
much hedge selling and the gain was
1 lost.

NEW YORK. Aug. 28. Carpenter. Rag

The Journal of Commerce 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 worms have in
jured cotton to some extent. Compared
with a year ago at this time, however,
prospects are said to be considerably
better and quite a few correspondents
look for the largest crop in years. The
weed averages a fair size and is gen
erally fruited, and shedding is compara
tively light ricking 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 tho
percentage condition was 79.8 Manj cor
respondents report the best prospects in
years, hut the season ip 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. Cultivafon is good and picking
will be general by September 10. Rain
fall has been plentiful, though some sec
tions are beginning to need moisture
Missouri -Cotton is doing well with
prospects tor a good crop.
The cotton market received some sup
port from McFadden A- i>H. brokers, to
day. but ring sentiment is very bearish.
McFadden. Gwathmey, Cone ami Schill
were best buyers after the call. Munds,
Hart corn and Martin were good sellers
MeFedden and some of the other spot
people are buyers.
Dallas wires; “Texas generallx clear
and waun. Oklahoma generally fair ami
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
away, to work a score on planters and
buy new cotton cheaper
McFadden, Gwathmey and Weld con
tinued to sell through the day, depressing
the market. Pell brokers and ring spec
ulators were buyers, but market has no
snap. Some of the bear forces predict
10 rents.
We have the following wire from Dub
lin. Ga., Laurens county; ••Roll worms
devasting cotton In Laurens and sur
rounding counties.”
Following are II a m. bids: October

(‘lark: The weather map very favorable,
after Monday s general rains the map
shows fair entire belt: normal tempera
tures; onlj few showers on coast. Indi
cations are for stationary conditions, ex
cept probably increasing cloudiness; some
showers in north Oklahoma and north
Arkansas; rainfall only Savannah 1.00.

The New Orleans Tiines-I lemocra t
says: While the remnant of the old bull
guard is inclined to believe the bears are
pushing their success too far. spot mar
ket development proved a help rather
than a hindrance to the price depres»er
yesterday, though actual cotton still holds
above a parity with contracts except at
Mobile, which quotes middling at 10 7 r
As yet Savannah has not become a heavy
seller of spots for the simple reason Sa
vannah receipts of new cotton thus far
amount to only 454 bales as contrasted
with 24.546 last year, in Texas the sit
uation is complicated b> scarcity of ocean
freight room out of Galveston. The ex
port demand is enormous in fact. It is
limited only by the shipping facilities as
lit is asserted that fully half a dozen
additional ships could be filled for Sep
tember sailing out of Galveston. But the
ships are not available ami 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 shows little
or no thought now among short sellers
of possibilities of a larger requirement
and a moderate supply. The marketing I
season has opened up though the re- I
quirement will bo large, otherwise less
