New York May 27.-The cotton situation
this morning was without special deyel-
opments. excepting a further hardening
of July which carried the general mar
ket along with it 5Q10 points. On the
whole, it was a tame market, and there
was less concern about a July squeeze.
The close of Liverpool market naturally
tended to restrict local speculation to-
day. Business will be resumed there to-
morrow, but New York will be closed on
Thursday. Weather reports we're eagerly
scanned by them. Jacksonville had close
to one inch of rain, Augusta 20 and Sa-
vannah 0S The temperature ranged from
IS at Charleston to As at Oklahoma Heavy
rains fell in North Carolina, and at Ma
con- There was also some rain at Co
lumbia, Camden and Blackville. The best
information obtainable goes to show that
rain in the Carolinas is excessive. Third
replanting is necessary at many points.
There has been too much rain in North
Texas and Indian Territory, and it will
not surprise us il the weekly government
report tomorrow would not reveal a BULL
ish condition Texas on the whole fails
10 send any such good news account as
looked for 1t is expected that the rains
there would have started the crop won
derfully, but so far is an absence OF SUCH
numerous advices of that nature as usu-
allv followed rains. The crop to old oo-
servers looks not only poor, but the out
look is regarded as dangerous. The view
is taken that trade on the whole does
not vet recognize the danger that con-
fronts us, especially from poor July and
August weather conditions, to say moth
ing Of early frost. Reports were current
of 1OOOO bales being headed to New YORK
from the South. Port receipts to-day es~
timated at 1900 bales, against 1900 same
days last year.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-05-28
NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET


New Orleans. May 27.-The continuation
of manipulative tactics in New York as
well as the cold weather prevalent
throughout the belt, caused a scare
amongst shorts again locally, occasioning
an advance of SQ10 points on the open
ing and an additional improvement of 76s
points Immediately after.
The heavy port and interior receipts,
the predictions of fair and warmer
weather tonight and Tuesday and the
lack of demand for spots superinduced a
break later of q points from the top on
near months and II points on late, maxi
ing the net loss points on old crop po-
sitions, whereas the new showed a gain
of $40 points.
The recent sharp advance in July has
eliminated the bulk of the speculative
portion left is practically against spots
and hedges.
We are informed also that the short
interest in this month in New York has
been considerably reduced, and that many
Southern holders took advantage of the
fixed differences and high prices there to
sell against their stock.
From present indicatio 1t looks as if
the manipulators in New York will get
cotton for every bale they are long. Still
we feel certain that efforts will be made
Dy them TO Try ana ADVANCE values aSdln,
but as it is pretty apt to be a fight be-
tween these Spectators and spot holders,
we do not think it advisable for those
who are not in a position to receive or
tender cotton to have any interest in the
summer positions, either in New York or
New Orleans. ''
AS all legitimate factors in the situa-
tion, however are against the article, we
suggest that our friends confne their OPP
erations to new-crop months, selling on
spurts and realizing on easy periods.
