DAILY COTTON LETTER.
N*tv Orleatu, Sept. 7.—The cotton
market waa dull today and had a down
ward tendency.
Liverpool failed to meet the optlmlam
that prevailed on thle elde yeaterday
and the result was that longa were
rathrr Inclined to leeeen their hold
ing*. Spots were easy In eplte of many
bullish crop telegrams from the Inte
rior for the simple reason ■ that they
nave been covering for several days
Past. There no longer exists any un-
Jteldy *hort Interest In the market.
Tomorrow and the flrat half bf tha
Monday aesalon will probably be dull,
"ttn the bureau out of the way more
tre»h business will probably be seen,
oow that we are right on top of the
bureau there Is still as much uncer
tainty over what the report will be as
f v * r - The trade has hardly attempted
•? r °, m > any Idea of what the report on
ginning will b« although It te, of course,
generally conceded that the amount
returned will fall far short of what waa
returned last year. The bit of gossip
" r 'g?rd to the report on condition Is
inat the government will issue a »up-
'lfmental report giving an estimate of
"Uat ha* happened to the crop’s con-
?"l on *lnce August 25. This rumor,
however, utterly lacks confirmation. If
*uch a report were Issued It would un
doubtedly be very bulllah for, accord-
mg to reports from the belt, the crop

THE COFFEE MARKET.
New York, Sept, 7.—The opening wan
steady at unchanged prices to an ad
vance of 6 polnta, owing to higher ca-
blea, and prices held around the Initial
figures during the forenoon, although
offerings were quite heavy and demand
showed tittle Indication of broadening.
Europe and Wall street sold here, while
the buying seemed to come from prac-'
tlcally the eante source* as yesterday,
Including aome of the local trade In'
tereats and shorts. The European sell.
Ing waa thought to Indicate profit-
taking by aome of the European Inter
ests who sold on the valorisation ad-
vance, covering on the subsequent de
cline, and have recently sent out rather
bullleh meeaagea and might now b«
taking a moderate profit on long coltee.
A prominent local authority on coffee
subjects In an article published thla
morning states that the recent decline
In Brasilian markets and lower firm
offers have resulted from the forced
realising of speculatively held supplies,
rather than selling by growers, and thla
seemed to accord with a private cable,
gram received late yeaterday from
iavre that Santos holders were with
drawing offerings also with the higher
primary markets, according to thla
morning's cables. Rio waa 126 rela and

GIBERT ft CLAY’S DAILY
COTTON LETTER
New Orlesna, Sept. 7.—Option* Im
proved slightly during the day’s ten
sion In Uverpool on lean favorable
crop news, finally cloning from 1 to 2
points higher than the previous day’s
evel. Holders of spot cotton were of-
ferlng freely, which In a measure off
set the Increased demand, sslea aggre
gating 7,000 bales, at an advance of 4
mints In quotations. In spit* of th*
’net that the many Indications yeater
day for bad weather today failed to
materialise, prices held remarkably
steady and continued ao until the li
quidation of the long Interest, ac
cumulated yeaterday, aet tn when
prlcea eased considerably. The mer
est, however, waa an exceedingly dull
and uninteresting affair and a general
lack of Interest was displayed on all
eldea. This apparent antipathy on the
part of the trade Is largely due to the
neitr approach of the day set by the
government for the publication of
mth glnner*’ and condition report*. It
Is almost Impossible to forecast with
any degree of accuracy what the bu
reau’s estimate of condition will be,
for lately so many unfavorable reports
have been received and ao Insistent
have some of them been aa to tbe un
mistakable deterioration, that a feel
ing has been gaining ground that the
true damage has been greatly exag
gerated, but then It must be remem-
jered that the report will embody only
that period ending with the 26th of
laat month, and hence the late unfav
orable rain will have become elimi
nated.

The New York Financial Ilureau says:
Bpeclnlty Improvement seems to be the or

In general to run away. The public has
been buying again, selecting the stocks In
dependently mored and strongly tipped. Ho
long as an unconservattve plunging and
broadening can be avoided the list should
hold well with but reasonable reactions.
This |N>llcy Is to lie Commended. There is
generally a lietter fooling, and much of the
opposition to Improvement has been dissl-
paled by the money relief, which. If ample,
will remove the only obstacle to better
ment In the security list. I'ntlcnce will !«>

Interest of the public Is sustained, which la
a strong point. The nubile will not buy
«nd pay 20 per cent for carrying stocks;
neither will brokers do the same, nnd wo
anticipate that rate* will he much easier
next week. We would be conservative,
recommending that the general list l»e
taught on recessions, nnd specialties when
they are aggressively handled, but only for
turns for the present.

New York, Sept. 7.—The atocl/ mar
ket today opened at about the same
range of prices os last night's. If ex
pectations were entertained that the
bull leaders had In mind a wild mar
ket, they were disappointed. Cliques
here and there pushed up prices some
what, but In defense of their modera
tion from the bull point "f view they
called It a safe and sane market. The
fluctuations In tho money market yes
terday Indicated not so much approach
ing ease aa a situation fairly well un
der the control of the leaders. Because
call money on the stock exchange went
to 6 per cent and after business hours
a quotation of 2 per cent was made
nnd widely heralded did not mean sim
ilarly good fortune for today's borrow
er#. The first call loan was made at
12 per cent, and then ran up to 17
per. cent, fluctuating between these fig
ures during tho forenoon, if was in
dicative of the growing confidence that
the majority of borrowers took chances
of getting a lower rate. Stocks during
the first hour showed no aggre.^ive
upward tendency, but wiien price.s b*»-
gan to recede fractionally the market.
In the language of the bulls, became
significantly dull. There were several
"strong spots," and on the whole the
market held well.
The tone of the stock market at tho
jwnlng was steady, and with tho few
exceptions, price movements showed n u
