 New Orleans. June 13.-Liverpool de- clined 1-1ed on spots and BOA sixty-fourths on deliveries and closed easy at the de- cline Cables stated the English market was unfavorably influenced by Ellisons circular dealing with estimated supply and trade in relation thereto. No partic- ulars are at hand and beyond the fact of the decline abroad we remain quite in the dark as to the basis of which con clusions are arrived at. The local open ing disclosed loss of four to eight points thus tfi some degree responding to Liver pool But in the absence of new selling the market maintained a very steady tone and with reports of rain in the Eastern belt brought in some investment buying of distant months.
 The weather for the past several days has generally been favorable for the crop and under this influence we think dis- tant positions would tend to a rather low

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, June 13-The mralSet for spot cotton was very quiet today. Offer ings were not as large or as well assort- ed as they have been and buyers and sell CTS are again at variance as to the proper level of values. The former are inclined to hold off as the result of the latest drop In prices at Liverpool, while factors are standing for full figures and generally re- fuse to treat with the purchasing ele- ments except upon that basis. Sales, 1900 bales, including 600 to arrive. Quota tions unchanged.
 A very liberal amount of trading mark ed the course of the market for contracts though a goodly share of the movement represented floor work, made attractive by rapid and fairly wide fluctuations in values. Liverpool came in this morning with lower prices and this market showed at first call a loss of 4 to-9 points all along the line. After the opening the market became erratic to a degree and prices fluctuated rapidly over the range of to points, but without any decided tendency to either direction and at the close June and July showed loss of points each; August 6, and the balance of the list, 2 to points, compared with last nights closing.

BEARS WERE HELD IN CHECK

New York, June 13-Most of the advance made in cotton futures here yesterday was lost this morning under a heavy sell ing movement, led by nervous longs and the foreign element. While there was some reaction later, the market was only disposed to be less active and was sen sitive to selling orders from any quarter. On the first call near months eased off six to nine points and far months were three points lower to one point higher. There was a rally of three to four points immediately following the call, but later In the morning fresh liquidation and bear selling was brought about by bad break in the Liverpool market. Noon found our market a trife steadier, but very quiet and still two to seven points below yesterday. Bears were held in check by very bad weather reports and less favorable crop advices. Shorts turn ed for cover in the last hour under fears of a possible bullish construction by Liv- erpool tomorrow of the weather reports There were few sellers in evidence and prices rallied nearly to last nights final bids.
 The market was finally steady with prices net one point higher to five points lower
