Murphy X Company's Cotton Letter

New York, June n.-Cotton in Liverpool opened with an advance of 3-32d on spots; middling 5d; sales 1000. Futures improved 1-64d on old and about 3-64d on new crops, but closed 5-6ld up on former, and about 3ib points on latter. Our market opened irregular at to points advance, ruled feverish for a while, then suddenly turned downward on general selling owing to un- favorable weather in the cotton belt, and by noon the net decline from the highest today was 15 to l points on old crop and about 10 points on the new crop. The bu- reau's condition of S2.5 is very low (Texas only T against 90 last year), the lowest for the previous twenty years being Sl, in the small crop season of 1895. It makes the in- crease in acreage ST, say 251a million against 2315 a year ago. The market will be nervous until some improvement is shown.

COTTON MARKET A :, PECULIAR AFFAIR. Trading Was Dull But Sentiment
 Was Variable. PRICES WEAK AT THE CLOSE At One Time it Looked as if the Bulls Had the Day Well in Hand, But
 the Shorts Hammered
 Prices Down.
PRICES WEAK AT TIE CLOSE

New York, June 11-In some respects to- days market was a peculiar affair, with trading dull and active by turns and senti- ment variable. The forenoon in particular showed the talent as well as the specula- tive public to be more or less in the dark and unable to form positive opinions, due for the most part to uncertainty as to the outcome of the noon government crop re- port The market opened steady with the first sale of July showing a decrease of 2 points, while the last sale on the call was at an advance of 3 points; the other points were to points higher. This advance was quite in opposition to the influence at work, such as weak Liverpool cables and bearish reports on the crop and the weather conditions from the cotton belt.
 It was seen that Liverpool this morning had made but feeble response to our em- phatic rise last week, while the English markets were closed on account of holi- days The foreign contingent also showed disposition to sell at the opening prices Before the close of the first hour the mar ket made turn for the worse under a change in the character of speculation here and rumors tht sentiment in New Orleans was strongly bearish. However, the crowd was disposed to act with extreme conserV- atism, pending knowledge as to the bureau statement.
 The latter came to hand soon after noon and was immediately sized up as a builish argument Prices advanced to 6 points on light furry of covering and investment buying for the account of the courageous . bulls The statement showed an increase in acreage of S.7 per cent, equal to 2,03G 600 acres, making the total acreage 9, ,55S 900 acres.
 The crop condition showed a decrease of 3.2 per cent. to S25, with Texas reported at Il. Nevertheless, the report failed to stim-l ulate bull enthusiasm, and by 12:3O shorts had regained confidence and were hammer ing the entire list in jubilant manner. Prices began to crumble and soon broke perpendicularly under a spurt of active general selling in which New Orleans was prominent leader The weakness did not. terminate until late in the day, when a. scramble for profits created some steadness and rallied prices several points During the rest of the session the market was fe- verish and rather disposed to weakness
 The close was barely steady, with prices 6 to 15 points lower

New York, June 1.-The Commercial Advertisers financial cablegram says:
 There was little new business in the mar kets here today because of the settlement tomorrow. The tone, however, was harder, especially investment securities, the pub lie having become accustomed to the troubles in China. Americans were bought freely here, the continent assisting, but finally they sagged on New York offerings. Paris supported copper shares. Money rates were unaltered, although the county council five-million loan will be recom- mended this week.

 New Orleans, June 1.-The feature of to- days session was the publishing of the initial government report the cotton crop of the season. The stattician at Washington makes the increase in acre age devoted to cotton this year 87 per cent. over last year or 25,5SS, 900, while the June condition of the crop is, with an ex- ception dS95), when the June condition was Sl the worst for twenty years, and Texas with a percentage of only 71 has the worst condition for a quarter of century. The increase in acreage of B. 096 900 acres over last year. however, when added to the report that a larger increased use of fertilizers is in progress in the older states, detracts in a way from the bullish- ness that the bureau exhibited in it's poor condition.

illness of pneumonia.
Before becoming i'll Mr.. Reeves
had prepared a sermon to be deliv-

was unable to fill his appointment.
oOn last Thursday when Mr..
Reeves became aware that he was
dying, he announced that he would
deliver the sermon to those present.
He did so, and at the conclusion of
the sermon the consecrated man
said, Let us pray" Those present
knelt, and with bowed heads lis
tened while the man of God lifted
his voice in supplication. But his
prayer was not finished; with the
name of the Saviour upon his lips,
the faithful servant was called by
his Master to receive the reward
promised those who are faithful to
the end.
