WEDNESDAY, AtTcr. ' News of the Cotton Crop and Markets AUSUSTA COTTON MARKET Middling Today 12% Tone—Steady. FAVORITE STOCKS m ADVANCES Union Pacific Got Up One and One-Half Points. Low Priced Specialties in Keen Demand. NEW YORK.—Business was on a large scale at the outset on the stock exchange Wednesday and the market was materially above Tuesday's clos ing for most of the important stocks. Union Pacific got up 11-2. Large frac tional advances were made in other favorites. Speculation broadened and , there was a large accumulation of all class es of stocks, with low-priced special ties in keen demand. Standard rail road stocks did not advance much as a rule beyond their first prices, real izing sales holding them in check while the advance was continued at other points. This selling ultimately brought about reactions all around. Liberal selling for both accounts drove the average of prices below Tuesday’s closing, at which the level of the market began to show signs of support. Subsequently there was a tjjoderaie advance all along the line, but there was the entire absence of the recent snap and animation to dealings. Some of the usually inac tive stocks became conspicuous.'vu ral ly. Bonds were steady. Persistent hammering on Union Pacino discouraged the holders of the stock and there was rather active sell ing. The action of this stock dom inated the rest es the list and there was a general break in sympathy. Around 2 o’clock there was a rally which reached a point in Union Pa cific, but the rest of the list did not benefit much. Close.

Weather reporto- continue to show high temperatures and clear weather ruling generally in Arkansas, Okla homa and Texas, with all points in Oklahoma 100 to 105, while Texas and Arkansas temperatures range from 95 to 100. This is not excessive ex cept for the fact that the country is already dry and those temperatures tend to tax the plant beyond recupe ration where the moisture Is not in the ground to enable ft to revive over night. Reports of a private nature con tinue very bad and today Miss Giles issues her semi-monthly report show ing an average condition of 70 per cent., made up on reports of date of August 9th. This compares with 70 two weeks ago and 76.6 one month ago and 80 lasft year on the same date. She points out that the greatest de cline in condition has taken place lr. Louisiana 7 per cent; Teias 10 per cent.; Arkansas 5 per cent,; and Ok lahoma 9 per cent. She also gives an estimate of the crop, based on infor rnation in hand up to this time, at 11,- 600,000 bales and states that this Is rather over.than under the yield as in dicated by returns from her correa pondents. She algo states that the abandon ment as shown by her report is 6.7 and says the plant is developing a larae weed In some sections at the expense of proper fruitage. Altogether the report is v very bul lish document and if it reflects the next government figures we may ex pect to see a marked decrease as com pared with August 2nd. Nothwithstand ing this bullish report the bears COTTON ROW GOSSIP Mr. Chas. Bohler will ship the first new bal e of cotton from Columbia county to Augusta Saturday. This will be the first new cotton from this immediate vicinity. New York market opened at an ad vance of 6 to 10 points on account of cables from Liverpool and con tinued extreme high temperature over Texas and Oklahoma, but free liquidation checked advance and it looks like the market has about reached top for some tim e to come. fiexas and Oklahoma are still hot and dry, several points in Texas and Oklahoma reported at 8 a. m. today that the temperature was from 4 to 6 degrees higher than Tuesday, 8 a. m„ Troy and Palestine 82 degrees, Taylor 78 degrees aud San Antorffo 76 degrees. Augusta reecipts today were only 4 bales, against 193 for the same day last year. Not a bale was received by the railroads, the four bales be ing received by wagou. Augusta spots remain unchanged at 12 D-S. The New- York Journal of Com merce estimates the corn crop this year at three billiqn bushels. Stocks in at present 4,125. Liverpool .02 1-2 pence up and opened .06 pence up (Jan.-Feb 6.60), Oct.-Nov. 6.44. Advance caused by hot dry weather in Texas and Okla homa, the market sold off after New York opened and closed .02 pence in advance. Close Jan.-Feb. 6.49, Oct.- Nov. 6.49. Sales 7,000 bales, receipts 8,000 bales, of which 7,500 were Amer ican. Liverpool middling 6.73, which is an advance of .08 pence over Tues day, 11 a, m. bids cabled Liverpool were August 12.40. October 12.34, January 12.31 and March 12.32. Experienced cotton men consider the poor condition of crop* in Texas and Oklahoma as being beyond all redemption. —t- New York people seem very bull isn, but the market doesn’t ’ show much advance. Sales in Augusta today 261 bales; all went to spinners; no shipments. seems able to hold prices down. The public are hesitant about coming into the market and the volume of business done is limited. Tt looks us though we would have a scalping market for the near future until something occurs to strengthen opit> ions either for or against prices Carpenter, Baggot & Co. 'ARGO, JESTER <S. CO’S COTTON LETTER NEW YORK—Extensive realising pre vented the market from making a bet ter response today to the cables and me weather advloeß obth of which were de cidedly bullish. Shorts w-ere the beat buyers until commission housee began to pick UP some cotton during the af ternoon. From all reports the Texas crop Is practically a failure and even sections which were promising a week ago are now rapidly deteriorating under the continued Intense heat. Hpecuatlve buyers are however timid at these prices For the present scalping operations seem best on any good dips until the bullish features in the situation are more generally recognized by the trade. —A J.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD Stocks received in Augusta since Sept., 1908, are 356,903. New’ York spots quiet at 12.80; sales 214; stocks 97,512. 1,515 new bales of cotton were re ceived in New Orleans today; 2.750 new baies received iu Houston; last year 6,853 same date. New York closed easy, Jan. at 12.22-23. March 12.24-25, Oct. 12.24-25, Dec. 12.23-25. January quotations ranged between 12.37 and 12.22, March between 12.39 and 12.24, Oct. between 12.38 and 12.24, Dec between 12.39 and 12.23. Quite a commotion was created on the exchange floor today when Secre tary Glover fell a point near the close in front of the New York board this afternoon. \ Private dispatches received on the floor of the exchange say thai west ern houses and McFadden are buy ing. Hot, dry winds in Texas are the supposed cause for the strength shown in the New Yolk market to day. Cotton locally is opening fast on thin lands, and it will not be long before things will "hum” aroujid on The farmers are selling heavily on the recent “spurt”—l2 l-4c is the price obtainable for Augusta middling for October delivery. This seems to be a “waiting mar ket." The bears waiting for (he crop to move and the bulls waiting for the spinners to buy. Galveston is the largest export port in the United States, New Orleans second and Savannah third. A com parison with the total number of bales exported last year from these three ports with the figures of today is quite interesting. From Galveston season 1907-08, 2,300,170 bales; to Au gust Ist, 19u9, 3,138,489 bales. New Orleans, season 1907-08, 1,870,709; to August Ist, 1909, 1,938,631. Savan nah, season 1907-08, 892,081; to Au gust. Ist, 1909, 921,172 halos. This shows from the three ports almost one million bales in excess of the whole season last year.
