WITHIN NARROW RANGE.
Cotton Futures Did Not Make Much Head
way Either Way,
THOUGH LIVERPOOL SHOWED AN ADVANCE
New York and New Orleans Only
slightly Changed from Tuesday.
Conflicting Weather News.

The market did not take a wide range
yesterday nor did the trade seem Inclined
to deal very heavily 1t WAS rather tame
market. Liverpool advanced spots and was
1o-64d up on August and 2-e4d to 6-6ad on
other months, tho near positions showing the
most strength.
Spectators on this aide claimed Liverpool
did not show sufficient animation to suit
them
Tho weather reports as a rule were bull
ish and certainly the statistics are. One of
Inc reasons for the apathy is that New York
closes tomorrow and Will not open uh1'i
Tuesday.
There was no percepctible increase In the
movement yesterday and considerable inter-
est now attaches 10 the September movement.
The expectation is that II will be quite large
on account of the planters being compelled
to market some Of their crops early as they
can in order 10 meet their Liabilities whieh
will fall due 10 the early fall.
Reports as TO conditions are varied The
railways report the coming crop Is giving
promise OF large yiald and they are prepar-
lug 10 handle heavy tonnage.
There is an Improvement in the demand Tor
SPOT cotton which is encouraging feature.
The mills are cut OF supplies and are COM
PEELED to purchase, although they are buying
sparingly, just sufficient TO meet current de-
nand. They are finding out that prospects
indicate big increases IL the ocean lrelsht
rates and should the Pennsylvania coal MIN
ers strike with the shutdown in the WEIGH
soal mines the problem would be quite serious.
Spots are down zee in New Orleans and
I-l6c in Galveston.
New York futures opened unchanged To
points or advanced a few points, hut reiapsed
and closed unchanged TO , points lower than
Tuesday.
New Orleans futures opened ! to points
up, advanced ? to 4 more, but lost the ad-
vance and closed unchanged TO points lower
Than Wednesday.
