Cotton Letter


 (Fairchild & Hobson's Cotton Letter to H,
 D. Cothran & Co.)
 New Orleans, June 30-With a very much disappointing Liverpool, that market closed 203 points down futures, though sssts were advanced 1-16 on sales of 5000 bales with the Chronicle report better than ex- pected, together with rumor a1oat in the northern market to the effect that New Orleans bulls had agreed to settle ment, New York opening about IS points lower than last night. Our market ollow- ! ing suit to the extent of 9 points on Au- gust, 9.7O, and points on October, S.s5 When it was learned here that the early weakness at New York was attributed to local operators agreeing to settle, prom 1nent operators here nailed the rumor 90 false by going on record as being willing to accept 5000 July at 10 cents from any New York bear. This declaration had-the effect of causing a sharp advance of 9 points in August, that month selling up to 9.95c, which improvement. however was only to be followed by a decline just as great the posting of Texas weather. showing beneficial rains at a number of points, also on profit taking over Sunday; which was indulged in to quite a consid- erable extent. Judging from today's wealth CT map, improving weather is to be ex-' pected in the central and southeastern sec. tions of the belt, while in Texas, promise of rain is noted in low pressure, but the crop having suffered so severely already from excessive moisture, it is feared that with the return of hot forcing sunshine, the plant may suffer all the more from be- ing scalded, and for this reason buying cotton is recommended on all breaks. With the opening of next Monday, we enter a new month and with the coming of Tues days crop bulletin, to be followed by the government bureau on the 10th, wild and cratic markets may be looked for. Spots unchanged.

 In the last hour the market was quiet with values near the bottom on realizing by last nights sellers. July closed 91, then rallied to 976. August opened off s points at 9.46, then fell to 9.33, advanced to 949 and then fuctuated within a range of 10 points.
