Cotton Letter.

New York, August 22.-The feature of the Liverpool market was the large spot transaction, which reached 12,00O bales at an advance of 1-16, thus running the spin ners takings for the six days of this week to nearly 100 per cent over the cor responding week last year.
 There was little of interest about the distant months, the weaker closing un- changed to one decline, with the distant months the weaker feature, under the in- fiuence of the reported rains in Texas. New York opened in a rather disappoint- ing manner at to 2 points decline under the weakness of the late months abroad. The weather map showed several good rains for Texas, but only scattering show CTS in the northern and central portions of that state where the drouth has been most damaging. At the same time there were heavy rains again in some or tho Atlantic states, notably Georgia, where they are not needed at all The forecast held out no encouragement In the matter of Texas weather On receipt Of this news. shorts began covering, and ran nrices LID 8 to points over the opening, then buying orders from the south and from large spot interests also developed and assisted in the rise. Some proft-tak- ing caused a slight recession, though this was soon wiped out on general demand from all quarters. During the last hour, prices continued upward, and the close was 12 to 15 points above the closing or yesterday. ts.'

EARLY DECLINE WIPED OU'

New York, August 22.--The market for cotton futures opened steady in tone, with prices to points lower, and soon after the call further sold off to points un- der room liquidation and light southern pressure in the absence of substantial investment support. The cables was dis tinctly bullish, crop reports were fully as unfavorable at any time of late, and advices from dry goods centers indicates a continued revival in business Before 10:s0 o'clock the early decline had not only been regained, but a decided advance was scored on room covering, and evt- dence of great strength in Liverpool, par 'ticularly in the spot market, and the near month contracts. Foreign buying orde~s and demand for Nv Orleans in this tend ed to aid to slowly strengthening the market. Then came reports of light rains in Texas, with forecast for showers over eastern Texas tonight and tomor- row.
 This caused proft-taking and some set backs The final cables from Liverpool reflected underlying bull certificates ana asking speculative feeling Near mid day rumors gained circulation that New Orleans shorts were In a bad position and at the mercy of strong bull clique which owned the bulk of August and Sep- tenber contracts These were not at nrst believed. but later in the day sensatlonai advices in the near months in that mark of settled beyond question all oouDt m th,s connection.
