COTTON PRICES
 WERE IRREGULAR e sael i, Market for Futures Opened Firm and Advancing BULLS GOT THEUPPER HAND Most Potent Factor Was Small Panic of Shorts In Liverpool When
 Prices Were Up IA to
 Y Points.

New York, August 23.-The market for cotton futures opened firm in tone with prices up g to IA points in response to sensationally strong Liverpool cables, the latter causing a stampede of shorts here and stimulating investment support soon after the call the trading level advanced to 14@17 points over last nights closing bids, after which fluctuations were very irregular according as profit taking sales or new buying gained control. Yet the course of the market was unquestion- ably upward on an unusually strong coni- bination of bullish influences. The most potent factor was small panic or shorts in Liverpool, where prices were up lo 10 IA points instead of the points as ex- pected on our closing of yesterday.
 The scare abroad was directly due to inability of spinners and August shorts to secure the cotton needed for the Flu ropean bear interests, with the usual ul- innate result of a complete route or the short interest. Bulls were quick to take advantage of the situation and bid the English market up with great confidence. Cables to this effect did much to enthuse the bull movement here. Next to the
  had precedence. The August corner frightened ripidly, that option reaching 8.75 or 35 points over the figure current last night The later months were also very strong and the bear contingent made little defense. The views of spot cotton holders hardened apace, and while there was a large export and domestic mill demand at higher prices, sales were very small The print cloth sales Of some 200 600 pieces in Fall River at an ad- vance of 1-16 with the further advance Tn cotton cloths of 1-16c. helped materially to tone up the speculative market here. The weather conditions present and pros pective were far from what was oesireo rains have fallen and indications are that they will continue to fall over the east ern half of the belt; drouth continues pretty much over the entire western belt In the local market Fall River spinners were liberal buyers of the fall months on weak spots Europe purchased on a large scale, though nervously, through out the list. In the last half hour the market eased off to the low point of the day under selling for profits by the room element The close was steady with prices net to 10 points higher.

Murphv 6 Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York, August 23.-The stock mar ket opened exceedingly strong and active in practically every quarter, apart from the steel stocks, which were naturally stimulated by this mornings encouraging news in respect to the weakening of the cause of the strike; there was virtual absence of developments bearing on par ticular stocks London furnished gener- ally higher rangeof prices for American stocks, although foreign houses were not active in the buying side upon the open ing of business here. To some extent the upward movement in prices appeared to be logical continuation of the aovance which was in progress at the close or business yesterday. The Amaigaliia.eu Copper. which had been notably strong then scored an opening extreme advance of 1h per cent Union Pacific and other strong features at the close yesterday likewise moved up. Strong features were also Southern Railway, Fries. Southern Pacific and the Wabash issues. Little was done in the industrial quarter. outside Of the steel stocks and the local traction is- sues were neglected.

Mem orIear. cotton Marked.

New Orleans, August 23.-The market for spot cotton was strong, though. the transactions were comparatively light. This is readily accounted for when the character of local offerings is considered. The lower grades of the staple are not particularly scarce, but the purchasing trade feels very little interest in them at this 1uncture. What is wanted now Is tenderable cotton and the high grades. and of such styles there Is but meager supply remaining in the hands of fac tors. Sales ,115o bales, including 250 to arrive. Quotations 3-16 higher.
 The market for contracts was very act i've today Liverpool threw bomb into the field by opening up Ac for spots and on contracts 9-64d to 12-64d for the near months and 6-64d to S-64d for the more distant positions. setting the long ele- ment on stf1is side wild with enthusiasm, so that For a time Texas rainfalls and general crop conditions were forgotten while the bulls believed and paved around the ring hilariously joyful. Liv- erpool had been caught short" and her opening advance was followed by addi- tional gains that carried the net gain for the day 12-64d to 14-64d for near months and 9-64d to 1-64d for those more dis- tant. The first call showed gains over yes terdav's closing of points on August, on September and 12 to 15 points on the other positions. After the call prices fuctuated rapidly over range of 5 points on all save the current month. which had moved up 16 points.
