Lees Cotto Letter to H. D. Cothran B
 Go.
 New York July 12-The feature of the market today was the buying of cotton by New Orleans. While the general bus mess showed very little improvement the buying for southern account proved lib- eral enough to absorb all cotton offered and advance prices 10 to 14 points at one time The local trade was mostly in the way of buying back cotton sold yester- day with some little increase in the de- mand from commission houses, but the crop does not appear to have suffered enough so far to start general buying on fear of a small yield and the majority of the trade is still waiting for change to otter or worse. A fair view of the situation would seem to be that, while rains have fallen in some portions or South and Southwestern Texas, the greater portion of the cotton belt west of the river still remains without neces- sarv moisture to enable the plant to make even normal progress. There are many complaints now being received from various parts of Texas, Oklahoma Arkansas and even Mississippi. Today has been decidedly more general anc more pessimistic than before since the dry weather begun.

Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Sledge Com. Co.
 Birmingham, July 12.-The situation west of the Mississippi river showed very little change today. There were some few showers reported in Texas from both the government and private sources, but these cut little figure as they were largely local and widely scattered. There was no rain in Arkansas or Oklahoma, while Mississippi, Tennessee and Ala bama' come under the zero column. Fore casts for tomorrow indicated no relief in sight for any of the Central or Western states and altogether the outlook was decidedly unsatisfactory from the weather standpoint. Liverpool cables, too, though discouraging early in the day, later turn ed decidedly bullish, closing unchanged to two points advance after having lost three to five points, New York opened unchanged to three points higher and then turned firm under a scare of pit shorts and buying orders for both foreign and Western account, brought about by weather conditions which were altogether unfavorabe There were slight setbacks from time to time under profit taking but selling pressure was down to a minimum The close was eleven points advance on July and August and thirteen to fourteen on the new crop positions. Pending de- velopments in weather conditions, the buying on the reactions and selling on the firm periods appears to us the best policy.
