New Orleans, June 12-Liverpool ad-
vices this morning were not up to ex-
pectations and our market opened to
points off, but manipulation in New York
became apparent soon after and caused
steadiness here. In the afternoon prices
improved further on cliques buying and
bulling July and August in New York,
causing shorts to cover freely of these
positions in our market. New York par
ties under the July deal appear to De
turning their attention to August also.
and it looks dangerous to trade in that
market in the summer positions. The
movement is again very large to-day, and
we continue to hear of round lots in the
small towns, which would indicate more
cotton at present in this country to be
sold before the advent of the next crop
than in any preceding year, and we think
il would be well for spot holders to real
ize on this advance as any collapse in
the deal in New York would render sales
of low grade cotton difficult, Spots We're
quoted 1-16 up, middling cents with good
sales. The weather map was very favor
able to-day, but its influence was lost on
a manipulated market. From all over the
belt our advices regarding crops show
great Improvement and a continuation of
favorable weather should manifest itself
in lower prices for distant months.

ed up to S2sc and August to 76Sc, after
which selling for proht-taking and a turn
caused a slight reaction. Late cables
portrayed a readiness on Liverpoors part
to respond to anything in the way of
bull development here, and at the close
that market was very steady at nearly
the best figures of the day. Under selling
for outside account and a withdrawal of
early buyers, the local market worked Off
to S.lSc for July and 1905 for August soon
after midday, but soon turned strong on
a fresh scare of shorts and the appear
ance of big buying orders from the South
and the West Trading became very ac-
tive, and for the rest of the day the mar
ket exhibited emphatic strength. The
new crop positions did not follow the ad-
vance in near months fully, owing to the
improved character of crop news Re-
ceipts at the ports were very heavy but
had been discounted. The close was
steady, with prices net unchanged to s
points higher.

New York, June 12-Liverpool did not
show the strength expected, though it was
recognized that the market could not be
expected to follow the sudden fluctuations
of this market when they were due to the
July situation. Our market opened prac-
tically unchanged and then advanced on
a July-August covering demand. Julys
were for sale all day in a quiet manner,
supplying the shorts, and il was believed
the supply must come from the concen-
trated long interest. AN sorts of rumors
regarding a settlement are current
through the ability of brokers to clear
their contracts. This appears to be the
basis for the report. Opinions differ
widely regarding the position of the pool,
some holding they have increased their
interest while others believe the most
have sold a large amount to enable the
contracts to clear. outside of this manip-
Hation the factors are not bulish. Wealth
er conditions are favorable and the move
ment is very large. Reports are coming
from Texas OF the appearance of a large
number of the Mexican weevil.

denounced, the same note conveys the
denunciation of the eXtradition treaty
of 1870 between the United States and
Nicaragua. Under the terms of the de-
nunciation the first named treaty, COW
ering the right to construct and guard
a canal, the convention will expire
Oct. IA, 1902, which is one year from
the date the notice was received at the
state department. The extradidon
treaty terminates May "a next, as pro-
vided in the convention
The Nicaraguan minister's note con-
veys no information as to the motives
that inspired the Nicaraguan govern
ments to denounce these two treaties,
nor has Mr.. Murray, United States
minister to Nicaragua, thrown any
light upon the subject. 1t may be re-
called, as affecting the treaty of 1867,
that before submitting the Hay
Pauncefote treaty to congress last
year, Secretary Hay drew up a set OF
protocols with the minister for Mic
aragua and the minister for Colombia,
whereby these officers bound their
governments to negotiate treaties with
