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.

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. » * * Dallas wires: "Texas clear and pleas ant. Oklahoma—-Central and west part cloudy; rest clear.” * m * 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.” $1.95 POSTPAID 15 DAYS' TRIAL 2-QUART SIZE For the ICE-KIST all you have to do is to pour in the cream, sherbet or whatever refreshment it may be, and pack in the ice as in the ordinary $1.95 PA CSC IT THAT’S ALL freezer.
