Cotton Letter.

New York, July 1.-THE weather in
Texas has been the chief influence upon
prices in the cotton market this week,
until today that state has remained hot
and dry. However splendid rains were
reported in Arkansas and some rains with
indications of more in Texas. As re-
suit the market declined sharply in spite
of higher Liverpool and the net advance
since last Saturday is not important. The
volume of trading since January opened
at 7.19 declined to I'll, advanced to@7.14
and closed at 713@7.14, with the tone of
the market steady. If the rains of to-
day are the beginning of a general rail
fall in the sections said to be suffering
from dry weather, it will place the crop
ma condition for the present that can
only be described as splendid. If, how
ever, they prove to be light and local
showers, the market will advance again,
for every one admits that until the state
of Texas is visited with ample moisture
there can be important break Apart
from fear of DIR ugh we can see no induce
ment to buy cotton at these prices The
sentiment generally throughout trade is
bullish, however, and while this in itself
cannot let prices it is too important not
to be considered. The bulls confidently
claim that the supply of actual cotton for
the next three months will be entirely in
adequate to meet the demand and insists
that this alone will send prices upwards
The opinion that those who delay selling
until the fall would be able to sell at
prices just as high as those now current
is expressed on all sides. The enormous
acreage, the great increase in the use of
fertilizer and wonderful cultivated crop
do not appear to carry any great weight
at present. Cotton may go much higher,
but we think the chances are against it
and we favor sales whenever the market
rise sharply.
