Cotton Futures.
(Suecial

Especial to The Messenger.)
New York, July 10.-The extreme sensi-
tiveness Of the cotton market to the daily
weather reports has been still further illu-
strated by the trading during this week.
Although the net change in prices since
the closing on Friday one week ago has
not been great, wide and frequent fuctua-
tons have occurred as the weather map
has or has not reported rains each day.
The rainfall during the week has been
sufficient everywhere except in Texas.
Arkansas and Tennessee, to allay the
fears of the drought at the present. To-
day the market was quiet and somewhat
lower. Liverpool declined 112-64d. Our
market opened 2 points higher on August
and slightly lower on the other months.
Further good rains were announced in the
Atlantic and gulf states, together with
some light showers in Texas. The feeling
was rather weak and prices gave way,
the announcement of the July report of the
bureau of agriculture. giving the condi-
ton for the first month at Sc per cent,
against S.5 last month and 92.5 for the
same date last year served to steady the
market, but not to stimulate the specu-
lation. August opened at 1.3s, declined to
1.32, advanced to ia and closed at I.33
to 1.36, with the tone of the market
steady. Late months showed more weak
ness. Generally, crop accounts continue
of a very satisfactory nature and the most
ormati from Texas and
the other sections which are still too dry
is that while rain would be welcome, 1t
can be delayed for ten days more without
any disaster. The critical period of the
crop is yet before US and combined with
| the present temper of the trade, this pre-
| vents any great selling pressure. The
| chances, however, seem to US to largely
favor a lower market. 1t is highly i'm
probably that the crop Will not progress
to a satisfactory outturn. There lis
! practically no short interest. the element
which was the moving power of the last
summers big advance. The Turkish
question again looms up as a disturber of
general confidence. The present price of
the new crop months is a very good one
and we do not favor buying cotton on the
chances OF the weather.
