FLUCTUATIONS SMALL Tendency Toward Lower Level with August Show ing Most Weakness. The cotton market haa shown downward tendency today, August glowing the greatest weakness. News Influences have not changed, the croft prospects In some sections being reported as brilliant, while In others some deterioration Is reported. Fluctuations have covered a narrow tinge, with business very dull. Mr. Price has Issued a condition dr. cular, compiled from 5,344 replies of in average date of July 13, as fol l0 "The average condition Is 71.3, as igslnst a condition of 74 reported by my correapondenta laat month, and 68 this lime last year. The fact that the condition la only 3.2 above that re ported by my correspondent at this time last year.fipeak* loudly as to the effect of the recent rains. The crop Is reported on an average twelve days lite, and for this reason It Is more than ever exposed to the vlclnltodes of the weather hereafter. It la notewor thy that while the condition In Texas ind the southwest Is better than laat year, the condition In' the Atlantic states and Alabama la decidedly below that of last year. Many of my corre spondents report that should hot, dry weather now follow the execeaslvs rains which have been general throughout the South, the result will be a very gen. eral disaster." In the late afternoon a covering and bull support resulted In advancing prices In some options sharply above yesterday's final figures. 8POT con ON MARKET. Atlanta, steady at 101116c.
