rev ORLEANS COTTON MARKET
Murphy a, Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, May 20.-Weather news to-
market. Over Texas the rain was quite
general, Waco reporting one inch. On
the Atlantic coast there was more or less
moisture reaching as high as AS inches
at Augusta. The Gulf states had fair
rains, and Arkansas had more. On the
whole there was more than enough rain,
and the drought may be regarded as over
for the present. This, of course, helps the
crop outlook, but by no means insures a
big yield or even a fair one. A Texas re
port of high water gave the bears a lit
tie fright this morning, and this in
measure, offset the general disposition to
sell the distant months, and prevented a
greater loss than 1 to points. Some peo-
pie commended that the rains of the past
few days will have no effect on the cot
ton which has failed to terminate, and we
advices as to the actual result. A few
buying orders came from the South to-
day, but outside interest was lacking
Liverpool expressed the belief that the
summer months were supporting the
market at present by what cotton was
accumulated by spnners for local mills
and it was justifable in view of the re-
ports surrounding the new crop. Taking
into consideration the Importance attach
ed TO the rains, cables were anything but
discouraging to-day, and showed only
to points decline. Receipts at the ports
estimated 1900 against $500 last year.

New Orleans, May 20-Our market
opened to lower in response to the
easiness to Liverpool and general rains
throughout the belt Receipts at the ports
and Interior towns very heavy, yet in the
face of all these bearish features an ad-
vance of to 4 from the bottom was es-
tablished in sympathy with the manipu-
lation of July in New York, making the
net gain to points on old crop
months, whereas the new were unchanged
to ! point lower The president of the
American Cotton Yarn Exchange attrib-
utes the generalization in the cotton
goods trade to the heavy receipts, the
large visible supply, the discounts be-
tween old and new crop months and the
probability of large crop next season.
While all legitimate features are bearish,
a clique In New York have been under
the July position in that market, and
have checked the decline by occasioning
timidity to sellers, claiming that there is
a long interest in that option from 200 900
to 800, 000 and that the certificated stock
is only $1,000 bales with the immense
stocks in the interior, it looks as if this
contemplated corner will be unsuccessful
holders to sell against their stock in that
market and the receivers of cotton there
have no way to dispose of II by export
or otherwise, except by taking a heavy
loss, unless the growing crop later on.
is overtaken by serious disaster. Still we
would not advise selling July in New
York, unless one is prepared to tender
cotton against the contract.
