NEW YORK, Aug. 27. - In response
to a sharp rise in August at New Or
leans that position in New York Cot
ton Exchange at the opening was 20
points higher, with other positions at
a net advance of 4 to 8 points from
Tuesday’s final. Sentiment was ex
tremely against the' market. A good
many reports w r ere in circulation, show
ing deterioration in some parts of the
eastern belt; also in Texas, Oklahoma
and Arkansas. The market, however,
lost ground immediately after the open
ing and prices shaded some 4 to 8 points
from the opening.
August failed to maintain the initial
gain and dropped 18 points without
stopping
The selling was probably based on a
condltoin report by a prominent local
spot interest, placing conditions at 73.9
per cent, against The Commercial-Ap
peal's estimate of 69.6 per Vent. The
bearish, influence of this and indicated
| showers in the Western belt was offset
by the bullish condition figures of the
national ginners’ report of 69.3 per cent,
being .3 point under the lowest percent
age given the crop this season. The
ring who played for a reaction yester
day looked short and ran to cover, fol
lowed by aggressive buying from strong
sources and there was very little for
sale. Prices continued to advance, and
after the call the entire list had estab
lished new high levels for the present
upward movement, being 14 to 16 points
better than .the previous close. August
was apparently dormant.

COTTON GOSSIP
The “Ice Kist
APPROVED BY :
Good Housekeeping Institute
Theodore 11. Price says: "It now*
seems altogether probable that ,rotton
will be carried much higher than the
facts warrant, and they certainly justify
at least 12 cents for new crop deliveries
in New' York."

Weld makes the condition of the crop
73.9 per cent, which is considered rather
bearish, considering the low percentage
of 69.6, given the crop by The Memphis
Commercial-Appeal.

The New York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition of
the cotton crops in North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia:
"North Carolina—Conditions have been
generally favorable and cotton shows im
provement of a month ago when it
was 79.3. Beneficial rains have pro
duced a large plant and well fruited,
but much depends upon a late killing
frost, since the season is about two
weeks late. Drouth in some sec
tions has caused shedding, but aside
from this there is very little com
plaint. Picking w'ill he general about
September 10. Too much rain in some
sections has caused a large weed at the
expense of fruit, but many correspond
ents look for a yield beyond the aver
age.
"South Carolina—Continued dry
weather in many sections has caused
the cotton to shed. The plant generally
is strong and well fruited, and with
timely rains and a late frost a large
crop is expected. It is only the late
planted cotton thai is suffering for rain
There are no complaints of insect dam
age and the crop is in a good state of
cultivation. Percentage condition
shows some improvement over a month
ago when it was 76.6
"Georgia—Cotton has about main
tained its condition as compared with a
month ago when it was 79.5. This is
between 5 and 6 points better than a
year ago at this time. The crop is
spotted, owing to late planting, which
has suffered considerably from drouth.
Many localities report a perfect season,
with plant of average size, healthy and
heavily fruited. There is a marked ab
sence of damage by insects, but young
cotton has suffered frotn shedding.
Picking has already commenced and
will be quite general by September 1.
I^abor is ample and the only requisites
for a big crop are more rain and a late
killing frost.”

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows in
creasing cloudiness, and more general
rains in the w'estern States and Ar
kansas within three days. increasing
prospects of showery weather also in
the central belt.
• * *
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Last year, before the crop be
gan to move in volume, the rings dis
counted a moderate yield and a large
requirement. Speculative apathy
throughout the season was the result.
This year the same program has been
initiated. Basic conditions, however,
are different.
"Last year a great deal of forward
business was done early in the season,
and the presence of many long hedges
proved a bulwark of contract market
strength. This year spinners have not
been buying ahead in the usual volume
and the demand for long hedges has
been limited. When speculators began
to lift the market under the influence
of crop damage reports from the west,
hedge sellers in the west supplied the
contracts required.
"Thus on the fa«-e of the returns the
hedge, interest is short this year,
whereas, at this time last year it was
long. Another fact the talent should
not overlook is that this year’s cotton ;
market starts out after two years of
remarkable mill trade activity. But the
basic law of commodity market is
against it.”
