BADLY SQUEEZED Bears Hesitate on Coming Holi day, Bureau and Bullish News. Sales Light—Bulls Alive. 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 were 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 probab’y based on a condition report by a prominent local spot Interest, placing conditions at 73.8 per cent, against The Commercial-Ap peal’s estimate of 69.6 per cent The bearish influence of this and indicated showers In the Western belt was offset by the bullish condition figures of the rational glnners’ rei*wt 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 anil 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 dose. August was apparency dormant. The market during the late forenoon was Irregular and nervous with good support in evidence in the soft spots by brokers usually representing trade in terests The volume of business was much smaller and hesitancy in the sell ing was sTiown on the part of hears be cause of the approaching holidays, fol lowed on Tuesday by the Bureau report. Private condition reports w-ere bullish, all showing 10 to 11 points deterioration for the month. The Texas detail weather showed con tinued high temperatures and brought In a number of orders on the buying side. The market will doubtless be ner vous for the balance of the week and the disposition will probably be to even up over the holidays.

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27. Liverpool came in about 4 points lower than due on futures, but rallied in the last hour on the strength of our markets. Spots 3 points higher. sales 5,000 bales. Cables continue to report small busi ness. A very unfavorable report in Texas and Oklahoma is expected by The Journal of Commerce Thursday, which together with the anticipation of a very bullish condition forecast by the Na tional Ginners. prorfipted fresh and vigorous buying in our markets this morning, causing an advance to 12.08 for October early in the session. Struggling August shorts endeavor ing to buy back their commitments pushed this position out of line wdth general values and over 1 cent above spot values. The map show’s increasing cloudiness In the Western States. Fair in the Central Belt; cloudy with good rains in the Coast districts and the Atlantics: some light showers in North west Texas. Indications are very favorable to cloudy weather and more general rains over Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas In the next three days and unsettled showery weather coming on the Cen- eral States with continued showery weather in the Atlantics. The market lost the early advance when the government predictions sug gested a change in the weather west, hut rallied again later on the strength In New York where general buying from outsiders is reported. Bullish senti ment continues to control the market. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. CHICAGO CASH QUOTATIONS. CHICAGO. Aug. 27 Wheat. No. red 89%®90%: No. 3 red, 88®-89%; No. 2 hard winter.

Norden purchased 5,000 December, while Wilson sold at the outset and kept it up until the closing ’gong" sounded. Theodore H. Price says; "It now' seems altogether probable that cotton will be carried much higher than the facts warrant, and they certainly justify at leust 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.'’ T^e New York Journal of Commerce has the following on the condition of the cotton crops in North Carolinu, 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 uboul tWo weeks late. Drouth in some sec tions has caused shedding, but aside from this there is very little com plaint. Picking will be 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 w’eather 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 that 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, wdth plant of average size, healthy and heavily fruited. There is a marked ab sence of damage by insects, but young cotton has suffered from shedding. Picking has already commenced and will be quite general by September 1. l^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 western 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 face 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." * PUT GRAIN Dullness Continues, but Bad News Seems To Be Ignored by the Prevailing High Prices. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Aug. 27.
