Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D. Goth
 ran & Go.
 New York, July 5.-The market today was by far the most nervous of the past few months. Few operators seemed ln- clined to trade at all in view of the holi- day tomorrow, when the exchange will be closed. This would mean carrying cot ton over until Monday, and there was no disposition to buy or sell. Those who did trade seemed to have no very definite idea of just what to expect. Liverpool advanced sharply and there were show CTS reported in Texas.
 As far as the situation was concerned, there has been practically no change. The market is very much the same at 7.65 for October as it was at 7.05 month ago. There was very little pressure Of cotton and only few buying orders ad- vanced prices sharply. The market evil dently reached point where 1t will re- quire change for the better to bring about a decline in prices or such bad crop account as will start spinners buy ing. The short interest that existed a month ago has been eliminated and the professional is holding cotton for an ad- vance.
 It will require broader trade, a more active demand for futures to start bull market from this end. Everything de- bends on condition of the crop from now on. In case Texas and other parts of the Southwest have a good rain, the crop should improve. The whole situation still hinges on the question of the neces- sary rainfall
 While an advance of % cents demands A different attitude and a reckoning with new factors. the fact that the Texas out look is unchanged makes the market a very dangerous one to be short one.
 If rain should hold off much longer damage reports can be expected and a broader market.
 Without rains the market will go much higher It will require the most favoring conditions to carry prices back to the end of a month ago.

Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to the Sledge Cimmis
 sion Company.
 New York July 5.-Liverpool interpret ed Wednesdays bureau report as bullish enough to warrant supporting the market and prices ruled strong over the holiday closing to 7-64d advance There was some weakness abroad today on the fail ure of the American markets to respond to the strength of the previous day, al- though the close showed a net gain of 2 to 3-64d over Wednesdays close. The absence of rain in the southwest and the excellent foreign news caused New York to open up to Il points, though prices soon after the call eased off on pressure from July longs Later there was some recovery on demand from shorts on fore casts indicating no rain in the belt and on the vote deciding to close the Cotton Exchange from this afternoon until Mon day morning The close was unchanged to 3 points up on the summer months and to points up on the new crop po- sitions.
 The only rain in Texas for the forty eight hours since Wednesdays report was, according to the government chart, only .03 of an inch, and even this small precipita ton failed to fall in the cotton- producing section of the State. The pre- cipitation during this period was confined largely to Alabama, Mississippi and Lou isiana, with scattering showers In South Carolina and Georgia. The temperature is slightly lower but still abnormally high.
 Weather conditions will continue to rule the fluctuations in the naw crop positions. The disposition at the moment Is to stay off the short side, as the situation in Tex as is becoming critical enough to make 1t rather risky to operate against the sta ple. There are still evidences of manipu- iation in the summer positions and there is little selling in these except for the long account.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, July 5.-The market for spot cotton did not display any great amount of animation today. Buyers were moving about among the sample rooms as usual, busy in the work of inspection and had they been disposed to trade freely could have been readily accommodated al a price, as the offerings were fairly large and no great difficulty would have been experienced in making desirable selec- tions Bids are being made at prices shading below Wednesdays figures, but the factorage element is holding well for full values. Sales 1,200 bales, including 400 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 Trading in the market for contracts was not very brisk though a fair amount of business was done in the near months and fluctuations were sufficiently wide and rapid to give floor traders an oppor- tunity to do a little scalping on their own accounts. At the outset there was a strong upward tendency displayed on this side despite the fact that Liverpool scored losses of from 64d to 5-64d on de- liveries At the closing, July, August and September showed gains of l point, while the other months were points higher than Wednesdays closing.

THE OPENING WAS QUIET

New York, July 5.-Without being broad market in any sense of the term, cotton was today lively and cratic. As bulls and bears obtained control by turns, so prices advanced and declined. The one aim of the trade seemed to be to. even up all accounts preparatory to an adjournment until Monday.
 The opening was quiet and firm with prices to Il points higher, in sympathy with great strength in the English mar ket and on reports of drought from the parched district of the Southwest. After a slight further improvement on room covering the market turned weak and broke to Wednesdays final figures under liquidation and some pressure from lead ing bears. There were sharp reactions and declines later according as business for pit account turned. The crop news averaged up bullishly and Southern spot markets were officially described as firm and advancing, while cloth markets were active.
 The weather forecast failed to indicate any change in Texas for the better, no rain >was promised for the western belt except light showers in scattered locali- ties. Near the close the English market broke badly in sympathy with our weak ness. The market was finally quiet and steady with prices net unchanged to 5 points higher.

ing OF the executive committee OF the
relief committee this afternoon the de-
cisio, was reached that the amount con-
tributed so far for the fire sufferers, was
far from adequate to meet the demands.
President Garner of the relief associa-

cese Of Florida. and Mayor Bowden we're
appointed a committee to issue an ad-
dress to the people OF the United States.
The address says:
at is impossible to render ten thous-
and or more homeless without extreme
suffering; it is impossible to meet all the
cases OF need at once The sanitary
condition OF this city must be perfected
and maintained and unless we can have
the aid OF the charitable people OF the

knowledge our inability to cope fully
