“While Liverpool was disappointing to |
the bull forces, it had little or no effect
on this market, ami there was a good
demand from the same sources as yes
terday on and after the opening Shorts
were apparently nervous and a general
buying wave followed, with very lit
tle cotton for asle. The aggressive sell
ers of yesterday were not among the
sellers of to-day.
“There n«s oeen considerable profit-
tuning to-day. as it is believed by a
great many that, a reaction is in or
der."—J. M. Anderson.
• * *
Realizing sales to the extent of fully
130,000 bales by the original bulls yes
terday was surprisingly absorbed by all
sorts of buyers within a very narrow
range of prices. Riordan was the larg
est seller and the exchange place
house was said to have advised their
friends to take profits. McFadden, Ba
ruch, Gwathmey, Shearson and Hentz
were put down as sellers. Wall Street
houses the South iverpool, Springs
Jenks, Weld and Hick* were leading
buyers. The buying was credited to
shorts, to new longs and to Southern
spot houses, who had sold to mills and
failed to hedge, and to the world’s spin
ners, who have become disturbed oyer
the Texas reports. Some of the buying
on the close was said to be an a bullish
National Ginners’ report coming out
soon.
One broker’s sales yesterday aggre
gated about 100,000 hales, and he was
selling right up to the close, but this
selling had little or no efTefct.
* * *
Weld’s man wired from Austin. Texas,
that condition was about 65 and Okla
homa 60 per cent.
* * •
The room looks for all private reports
this week to show about the same as
The Cotnmercial-Appeal, which gave the
condition 69.6 per cent, or 10 points de
cline from a month ago, and most trad
ers are inclined to play on the long side.
* * •
The market is broadening out every
day and it looks as if it will continue
to do so.
* • •
There is a feeling among many that
the market is due to reaction and there
is a good deal of cotton sold on this
theory, but all cotton is taken easily,
most of which is taken by brokers rep
resenting spot Interests.
* * *
The New York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition of
the cotton crops in Arkansas, Tennes
see and Missouri:
"Arkansas—Conditions are very mixed
in Arkansas. Many correspondents look
for a very fair crop and several for the
best In years. In these sections, rain
fall has been ample; insects are not
troublesome and shedding is slight.
Some report good chances of fruiting to
the top and the plant is strong and well
cultivated. Labor is generally plentiful
and picking will he general by Septem-
l»er 6. Cotton is already moving in a
few localities. In other sections, hot
and dry weather has caused cotton to
stop growing and shedding to set in.
Reports thus far received, however,
would indicate a deterioration of several
points from last month, when percent
age condition was 87.4.
“Tennessee—Cotton is generally in
good condition, fruiting well and in a
good state of cultivation. Drouth, how
ever, is beginning to cause considerable
shedding, and percentage condition will
probably show some loss from a month
ago, when it was 89.2, but it is con
siderably better than last y*ar at this
time, when it was 75.4 per cent. The
crop is free from insects, and, barring
disaster, a good yield is expected.
"Missouri—On account of drouth, cot
ton has deteriorated considerably in the
last month, when the percentage condi
tion was 86.6."

Bulls Force Prices Into New High
Ground on Western Drouth and
Deterioration Reports.
NEW YORK, Aug. 26.—At the opening
of the cotton market to-day trading was
not so active as yesterday and first
prices were 2 points lower to 2 points
higher than the closing quotations of
Monday.
Sentiment was pretty evenly divided.
Privately the opinion was expressed that
there would probably be rain over the
Oklahoma-Texas belt within 24 hours,
but when thfe official weather map of the
Government failed to show any sign of
rain or prospects for any the bears be
cause panic-stricken and bid against
one another so aggressively that prices
went up 13 to 21 points within a few*
minutes after the opening. Shorts were
heavy buyers, also Liverpool, the South
ami the spot Interests were booked as
buyers, offerings were scarce, except
a few sales, which was attributed to
longs taking profits.
During the late forenoon the market
fluctuated around its high point.
In addition to the dry map reports j
from the western belt were to the ef- 1
feet that conditions in Oklahoma have |
never been worse, but most of the
planting in Texas would probably yield
something less than a third that was
p’anted. Reports of deterioration in
most every section of the belt was re
ceived.
The Government’s weekly weather re
port was considered as bullish, especially
over the western half of the belt, and
shorts were apparently displaying con
siderable uneasiness, and additional buy
ing orders generally carried prices still
higher than the early high mark. Au
gust soared to 12.45, October 12.16, De
cember 12.11 and January 12.12, estab
lishing new high levels for the present
bull movement. The aggressive sellers
of yesterday were not In evidence.
Later, how’ever, as the session wore
bn there was considerable talk of a re
action and the selling became rather
general, which was confined mainly to
profit tdking. No one, however, had the
courage to sell the market short in the
face "f the continued drouth in the
Southwest and tile pending Government
report, which will be made public Tues
day, September 2. The majority of
traders anticipate a terv bullish condi
tion, claiming'that deterioration in the
crop during August will exceed 10 points.
This did ntrt encourage any of the early
activity, nnd prices shaded sharply from
the early best.
The close came in the midst of general
realizing and left prices at or near the
previous close, bing 2 points lower for
August and 1 to 5 points higher for oth
er positions.
Following are 11 a. m. bids in New
York: August 12.37, October 12.06, De

RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.
"The stock market will probably be
quiet until after President Wilson has
delivered his message to Congress on
the Mexican situation. Many operators
do not believe this will have any per
ceptible effect on prices and think that
stocks are a purchase, as they refused I
to decline on the had news of last week. |
Among the specialties would buy the
traction issues on any weakness."—G.
D. Potter.
"Sentiment in London is cheerful.
Traders in foreign markets show hut
little disposition to trade in American
securities pending the outcome of the
Mexican situation. The text of Wilson’s
note to Huerta required that Huerta
resign. Huerta has refused and Envoy
Lind will leave Mexico to-day, his mis
sion resulting in failure. Wilson is
ready to deliver his message to Congress
to-day at noon.
"Informaton channels favor a watting
attitude We would i<>nk for nod buy
ing opportunities with the intention to
hold for substantial profits unless unex
pected events make It advisable to take
smaller returns.”—New York Financial j
Bureau.
• * *
"The postponement of the delivery of
President Wilson’s message to Con- !
gress until Wednesday will probably ,
cause the present dullness to continue
until then. It looks as If the Mexican \
situation might be settled peaceably. If
this proves to be correct the stock mar
ket will probably show some improve
ment."—G. D. Potter.
