Market opened with an advance this
the bears, who are awaiting the govern
ment report on the 10th instant. This re-
port will accurately cover the extent of
damage in Texas Che result of the recent
rains), as well as show the average con
ditions of the crop in other States. We
learn from authentic sources that Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana make poor showing
as regards the growing crop, with stands
more or less ragged. With the reduction
in acreage and the possibility of unfavoia-
BILE weather it is only natural to look for
sharp advance at any moment Even a
moderate amount of unfavorable crop news
during July and August would be sufficient
to cause a revulsion of feeling in specula-
ton.
First prices in wheat this morning were
at an advance. Liverpool cables were
better. Under ordinary circumstances
such favo"s as liberal local and Northwest
receipts would have acted as bearish In
fiuence, but the tendency shown by shorts
to cover the holidays and buying from that
source sustained the market, scoring an
advance of / cent on the day, which was
on record at the final closing.
Corn was only fairly active. Shows re-
port made the condition of corn &c.
Oats ruled very dull, with little variation
during the trading hours.
Provisions were very closely Influenced
by the strength of the hog mar
ket and on general demand from packers,
presumably for covering. All markets are
closed on account OF holidays; business

Office OF The Post.


The advance in cotton futures today was
attributable to the several Influences tina,
go to make up bullish understandable
Liverpool news with advancing prices,
fairly good demand for spot cotton, buying
by shorts to cover oversold accounts and
damage by rain to the growing crops.
These influences were brought TO bear to-
day and the consequence was that New
York saw an advance over yesterdays
prices of 6 to IL points and New Orleans
to II points II has been predicted all
along by the bulls that the mills had large
ly oversold in cloths what the stocks of the
raw product they now have on hand would
produce, and that they would be forced
to buy to fill these orders. In this the
bulls were correct, as was shown today ty
the advance in spots at New York and
Wv Orleans. where buyers We're disposed
take heavily at the lower prices. Elk
4 'rts TO Britain, France and the CONT
Mt have been for some time past fully
80 per cent greater than for the same Pc
riod last year, and the stocks on hand at
Liverpool is $4,000 bales larger than this
time last year. This free buying and car
rying on hand of such large stocks is most
assuredly evidence that our friends across
the pond think cotton at the present price
is good value.

New York, July Is. Mum Son & Co
say of cotton: Today's market was very
steady in tone. Uncertainty as to extent
of damage to Texas cotton crop caused
covering principally by those who did not
care to be short during the holidays. The
opening was at to 6 points advance and
closed steady to 10 points higher than
yesterday. Liverpool futures closed at l
point advance, Spot sales 5000 bales at I'M
changed prices. Chronicles weekly re-
port shows satisfactory conditions with
the exception of rains in Texas. The
weekly government report Wednesday
should show the Texas situation more
clearly. We do not believe the damage
will be found to be as great as now antici-
pated and prices will gradually sag off
again.
