New York, July 1S.-Murphy & Co. say:
Cotton closed in Liverpool at an advance
of 3-16d on spots, futures, 16-64d higher on
Old, and 7-64d on new crops. which is very
much better than expected here (due to
Neill's bullish circulaD, and caused COW

an advance of sc points on August and Il
TO q points on later months. Europe also
bought, realizing sales influenced by IA
vorable weather and the complications in
China, led to a reaction OF TO 10 points.
The South was the pH1cipal seller. it is
rumored that NELL circular was principal

clique.
The bull faction had things its own way
on the Cotton Exchange to-day. Extreme
ly favorable cables accompanied by large
buying orders in Liverpool and the conti-
nent. coupled with covering of bear sales
by locals caused an advance here to-day
of about to points on the near and to
10 on the far months. The bull contingent
was favored by a very bullish circular
from Neill. Rumors gained circulation
that this circular was issued to affect ma

say: Liverpool advanced sharply. our ca
bles stating the improvement to be due
to the publication of very bullish crop
statement from Neill, and sharp manpu-
lation on the nearby deliveries. The
strength of that market was most marked
on these positions. These advices came
as a surprise to the markets after yester-
days government report stating there had
been a general Improvement in crop con-
ditions. Large buying orders from Liv-
erpool and New Orleans appeared at the
opening of the market, absorbing all the
offerings and advancing prices rapidly.
Such sharp fluctuations indicate a market
without a large interest as it is difficult TO
execute orders to advantage. Weather
conditions continue favorable and receipts
are heavy, but natural conditions were
not considered in market of this char

New York, July 1s.-It was a day of
great anxiety for shorts on the Cotton Elk

comparison of information from Liverpool
showed that shorts abroad had been

had been irreparably damaged, and that
fields were being deserted. Large foreign
buying orders helped to increase the con-
sternation of oversold parties end imme.

was wild scramble TO protect short ac-
counts. and TO buy cotton for investment,
the latter being limited almost exclusive

showed an advance of u to II points. A
brief halt for a better view of the situa-

the bears to reach safe ground. BY leaps

August had reached 8 40c and January
S.3lc. Then came a partial relapse under
heavy proht-taking, and moderate selling
on the reaction belief. But soon after
midday stop loss orders began to pour in
from outside points, and prices again took
the up course at brisk pace. This spurt
of buying carried August to O. SIC, but
