Cotton Letter.

New York, June 22.-(Special9 9-biVeTpool was still closed today. The cotton marker here opened slightly lower than last nlght s closing figures, August selling on the first call at TAP Some little buying steadiedl the market immediately after the opening, and August advanced to TIA. The anxious shorts seemed, however to have pretty well coy cred their lines, as no speculative enthusi- asm developed it soon eased off again. The weekly crop bulletin of the government was announced shortly before poon,., and was most bearsh. It encouraged considerable liquidation and prices declintd further, Ap- gust touching 7.33. Few operators, how ever, were disposed to sell short until the latitude of Liverpool tomorrow can be known, and part of the loss was recovered. August closed at 7.36 to 7.37, with the tone of the market quiet The neAt crop was com paratively steady today. If the outlook con- tinues as favorable as 1t is now, We fear that no lasting advance can come, but many shrewd judges stoutly maintain that with the good business outlook and the strong position of cotton present prices are none too high.

 New York; June 22-The stock market to- day again gave a demonstration of Its as- tonishing capacity for sustained Increase of prices with only temporary r'huses and trivial reactions. The maturing pan of the committee of directors of the Chicago and Northwestern for refunding the bonds of the company for the purpose ofseTeeting a saving which may be applied tos the stock has become the central object ofdnterest Tn the market. The upward tendency of prices which radiated from this stock ultimately permeated the whole market, spreading to the industrial stocks and carrying them to a higher plane Northwestern, sex SreIne rise was 3A. Omaha as being nearest i'm elaltion to Northwestern, followed it's course with close sincerity, but the Vanderbilt stocks were all likewise affected. Lake Shore jumped 314 to 175. This was doubtlessly on exact information of benefits to accrue to the stocks from the relunding o1 the iBgP4s in the exchange of the old bonds for ] lie new which takes place tomorrow. The New York, Chicago and St Louis stock on account of the close relation of traffic in- terest with the Lake Shore,. also. showed a marked advance The first urfeferred was, bid at Fl, against 60 bid yesterday. F6e' common stock gained E and the preferred 2. Lackawanna gained 3l5 to 156 GU def mite announcememt that the regular auar- terly dividend wN shortly be 1ecaa red. A striking feature of the markets course was the comparatively small transaction in which prices rose. This was of course markedly true of the high-priced invest- ment stocks, a very small supply Of which is offering on the market at any time. A quickened demand ma iura lly marks ID me price very sharply. But the volume ot transactions as a whole was not large and the dealings were lacking in anfmat tiup all day.
