REV ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.
Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New Yory, May 22.-In the cotton mar
ket this morning there was not much
snap, and excitement as to the July cor
ner had temporarily subsidized, but the
point was taken that there would be a
revival of interest before a great while.
The recent rains have undoubtedly help
ed the crop much, but it is two to three
weeks late everywhere, and it is a ques-
ton as to the extent of the benefit. The
general feeling is that Texas is doing
better, but rain in that state has not been
more than enough for a week or two TO
come while not a few contend that there
has been none of Importance over the
greater portion of state. The low price
is holding sellers in check, and conditions
being thus far favorable to the long side
as regards the new crop, it is only nat
ural that the disposition, If anything
should be toward the bull side than the
bear side. Rain was reported to-day at
Charleston, Savannah, Columbia, Camden,
Blackville, Burlington, N. c., Memphis,
and Atlanta. Conflicting crop accounts
are coming in from various quarters. and
Southern shorts are in many instances,
depicting a very satisfactory prospect,
while it is known that the actual status
is quite the contrary. The short interest
Is of much greater extent than many
suspect, hence unusual efforts are being
made to make it appear that the termi-
nation of the drouth has assured full
crop, which by no means is the case, In
fact, the absence of termination is still
an important and powerful factor. Liv-
erpool reported spot cotton hardening at
an advance of 1-16d. Futures in that
market decline one to two points. Yarns
at Manchester quiet. but steady, and
cloths quiet Port receipts estimated s.
900, against $500 last year.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1901-05-23

owing to semi-sensational reports bearing
on the July deal and to irregularity in
the English and Southern markets. Cow
erlng OF summer months short sales held
prices well. July in fact at times showing
very firm front But by midday cotton
purchased on the belief that yesterdays
bulge would be repeated on a much larger
scale, came out freely. Selling for for
eign and Southern accounts helped to de-
press the market while greatly improved
crop and weather news acted as a special
FACTOR against new crop options. Liver
pool opened lower, later showed marked
evidence of strength, but before the close
lost portion again in near months. while
Tar months became weak and irregular.
Inc forecast for clear weather over the
belt and estimates for well sustained re-
celpts prompted selling for both accounts
IN the afternoon. Business picked up
somewhat on the decline though at best
professional operators comprised the bulk
OF trade. July sank to 1900, with the
other months displaying decided weak
ness. AS the market eased off the courage
OF bears returned in proportion and buying
orders fell off steadily. Claims that the
government acreage estimate of next week
would be big bear argument were made
much of on the decline The market was
finally steady with prices 4 to 10 points
lower.

houses appear to be without new business
in July and August, while the better crop
reports have brought some selling from
the South. Judging from the print cloth
situation, there is no improvement in the
goods trade. Receipts are heavy and our
market remains the highest as result
of the covering in July contracts. In
short, the crop is showing each day that
there will be a larger surplus to be car
ried over than anticipated.

than can be received from exporters,
even II a demand were to spring up for
thig class of cotton. With a continuance OF
favorable crop conditions it looks as II
present prices will be hard to maintain.
