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- taking 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 Rlordan was the larg est seller ami 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 Hicks 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 over 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 bales, and he was selling right up to the close, but this selling had little or no effect. * * * 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 Commercial-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 be general by Septem ber 5. Cotton is already moving in a few localities In other sections, hot and dry weather lu?s 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 year 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." • * • Dallas wires: "Texas, clear and pleas ant. Oklahoma—'Central and east clear, rest partly cloudy to cloudy." * * NEW ORLEANS, Aug 26 —Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows cloudy in the Atlantics, rains in At lantic coast districts, fair elsewhere; no rain. Indications are. for increasing cloudiness over the western States. District storm formation is bordering on Oklahoma, and likely to cause some precipitation and cooler weather in North Texas and Western Arkansas shortly. Generally fair in tho central States, with showers in the Atlantics. NEW YORK PRODUCE MARKET. 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-Texus belt within 24 hours, but when the 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 and the spot interests were booked as buyers. Offerings wore scare* 1 , except u few sales, which was attributed to longs taking profits. During the late forenoon the marKet fluctuated around Its high point. In addition lo the dry map reports from tin* western belt were to the ef fect 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 planted. 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 f yesterday were not in evidence. Litter, however, as the session wore on there was considerable talk of a re action and the selling became rather general, which was confined mainly to profit taking. No one. however, had the courage to sell the market short in the face of the continued drouth in the Southwest and the pending Government report, which will be made public Tues day. September 2. The majority of trailers anticipate a very bullish condi tion, claiming that deterioration in the crop during August will exceed 10 points. This did not encourage any of the early activity, and 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 tQ 5 points higher for oth er positions. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: August 12.27, October 12.06, De cember 12.00, January 11.91, March 12.00.

"The stock market will probably be quiet until after President Wilson has delivered his message to Congress on the Mexican situution. Many operators do not believe this will have any per ceptible effect on prices and think that stocks are a purchase, as they refused to decline on the had news of last week. Among the specialties would buy the traction issues on any weakness." G. I>. Potter. "Sentiment in London is cheerful.
