f - TTTF: ATLANTA O FOP (7 TAN AND NEWS. 11 COTTON NKW YORK, Aug. 29.—Cables were not up to expectations at the opening of the cotton market and first prices were at a net decline of 3 to 13 points from last night s close. There was considera ble selling from the south and in Liver pool. There was a fairly good demand on the decline, but prices continued on the downward patn, dropping 4 to 14 points from the opening range. Cables from Liverpool explained the weakness in that market was due to Continent selling and poor prospects for trade demand and spinners were not in dined to lollow the advance. The Giles report of 69.9 per cent on the eonmtion of the crop to August 25. l ,01nls decline for the month, was distinctly unfavorable and accounted tor some of the profes.slonal support here, which helped prices out of the *" w pint during the forenoon. hollowing are 11 a. m. bid* in New } °rk: August. 12.18; October, 12.27; 12*18 mber ’ 12,19: ,,anuary ’ 12 08 ; March, Following are 10 a. m. bids in New Orleans ; October, 12.22; TVecember, 12.24; January, 12.26; March, 12.37.

Rothschild & Co.: We ex pect further short covering and enhance ment in values. Logan & Bryan: Unless conditions turn for the better in the Southwest, trade buying will soon make itself felt in the future market. Miss Giles gives the condition of the yotton crop as of August 25 at 69.9 per cent, against 78.4 per cent on August 10 and 81.8 per cent a month ago, as compared with 76.8 per cent for the corresponding month last year. She further states that deterioration during the past month is due to extreme heat and dry weather in Texas, Okla homa. Arkansas and Alabama. The de cline in Mississippi and Louisiana was caused by weevil damage. Dallas wires: "Texas and Oklahoma, clear and warm." Washington wires: "It is reported the Democratic leaders in the Senate have about agreed that some modifica tions must be made in the cotton fu tures tax section of the tariff bill. Ac cording to the rumor, Senator Stone and others will take the lead and attempt to persuade the Finance Committee to bring in an amendment proposing a re duction in the amount of the tax” NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 29.— Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows cloudy over the entire belt; nice rains in the Atlanties and Gulf coast districts, blit only sprinkles shown at Amarillo and Houston. Cooler in the northwest. Indications arc still favorable for cloudy, cooler and scattered showers. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "With speculators afraid to sell * contracts and with the new crop move ment not sufficiently developed to feed contracts in the shape of short hedges into the market in volume, high price sentiment again dominated the ring yes terday, and values W’ere carried to the new high levels. Conservative opera tors are now convinced that current prices fully discount all the damage that has been done the cotton crop by drouth. It is. therefore, quite logical for the talent to expect the market to do all of the remainder of its early season climbing before the promulgation of the Bureau condition figure at 11 o’clock. New Orleans time, Tuesday. "Es4imat.es of the Bureau figures range as low as 69 and as high as 71. "Meanwhile, the weather map for the western cotton belt suggests the pres ence of moisture, and the Government predicts unsettled conditions. Rain re ports to-tlay would check the advance, provided they seemed general in char acter. The American markets will be closed Saturday and Monday. Rains over Sunday would, therefore, be re flected first by the action of the for eign markets. No rains in the west be tween now and Tuesday morning would sustain confidence in the long side of the account, and the market would proh- ably he higher than last night's closing, ut the time of the promulgation of the Bureau.” LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Cotton Condition For August 71,4, Authority Reports NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Reports from 1,939 special correspondents of The Journal of Commerce, bearing un aver age date of August 22, show’ a condi tion of 71.4 per cent for the cotton crop as compared with 81.1 per cent a month ago, or a loss of 9.7 points. Only once in the past ten years has this de cline in August bifii exceeded. In 1911 it was 14.3 points, and the ten-year average loss is about 5.9 points. The condition a year ago W'as 75.4 per cent, while in 1911, the banner year, it whs 72.6 per cent and 70.7 per cent in 1910. The ten-year average is 73.5 per cent. It remains to be seen how far a loss of 9.7 points In condition will be offset by an increase of 856,000 acres over last year, or about 2V6 per cent.

STOCK GOSSIP The foreign stock .markets are dull, but show a better tone; prices irregu lar. The Bank of England reserve is at the highest paint in seventeen years. There is little likelihood of an advance in the bank rate this fall. In London the price of copper metal has advanced and improvement is shown in other European markets. According to present indications, the statement of the New York Associated Banks will be unfavorable. The Street w ill look forward to the statement with much interest. Information channels favor a trading position. We would look for good buy ing opportunities, with the intention to hold stocks for substantial profit.—New York Financial Bureau. 1 * * M The Democratic caucus adopted the administration currency bill by a vote of 160 to 9. Measure in form ratified by caucus will come before the House next week, with the debate starting September 8. Directors of the Missouri. Texas and International and Great Northern appro priated $11,000,000 for the establishment of the new routes between terminals of their railways and South American ports. The average price of twelve indus trials advanced .18; twenty active rails advanced .99. There will probably be some evening up of contracts to-day on account of the coming holidays. The stock market looks good and healthy for the upward trend in prices to continue, as stocks <Jo not decline on unfavorable news and show’ activity, and an advancing tenden cy on all favorable developments.
