NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
Tone steady; middling 13-16c, steady.
New Orleans Weekly Cotton Letter.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 26.-Up to Thurs
day old general liquidation was hercest In
evidence, followed Friday morning by renewed
selling, making the opening call Friday the
lowest for the week. On Thursday a party
with an international reputation issued
manifesto to the effect that this crop surely
would be eleven million bales and probably
twelve, advising producers to accept current
prices. This advice sent out from an onice
in New York may have frightened a few into
liquidating their holdings and few into
shorting the market. but 1t is not in evidence
that producers of cotton incline to this New
Workers. advice. Already complaints OF too
much rain in portions Of Texas. Fridays
rainfall at Cameron Milan county, was Is
inches in five hours with 672 inches at Tenn
pie. Bulls say an eleven million crop VIII
be needed and that prices are too low. They
point to peace and increased consumption
throughout the world. The absurdity OF an
estimate at this time OF this crop anywhere
near accurate Is obvious.
Many things could happen, as in 1889. when
one cold October night cut the crop short a
million bales. 1t is also pointed out that the
New Yorker now advising people TO sell cot
ton was a million bales out Of the way on
his 1890 crop estimate and two cents out OF
the way on his price for summer positions
that year. Early in the spring OF 1900 this
party sent kilograms broadcast TO lawyers,
doctors and others over the south advising
he does now. The result was two cents
a pound advance. The market closes with
some recovery from the lowest OF week but
considerably lower than last Saturday. Liqui-
dalton has been very drastic and II Is thought
by many that the markets are in a position
to advance rapidly on bad crop news

Murpny q cod COTTON Lettar.

NEW YORK, July 26.-There was an
advance in the Liverpool cotton market
today, which though slight indicated there
as here a belief that a rally was in order
from the recent sharp depression. The
talk Of excessive rains is now INDUCED in
quite generally and IL looks as IL bulls
will use this with some effect just as
they before used dry weather talk for
helping the cause, Notwithstanding big
rains IN Texas it is claimed by the ex
IRENE bull wing that they came too late
to do much good and that the crop there
and elsewhere Is so spotted as to render
It beyond possibility of reaching anything
remarkable. On the other hand we hear
claims of a crop of no less than 1900. 900
IL weather conditions prove favorable be-
tween now and October Is. Prices here
opened &c lower for September and Octo-
Der. Other months were of 1 to 3 points.
Gables showed too little variation to in
duce extensive local operations. Numer-
Gus southern people here were not so con-
fident OF an immense crop as generally
talked of while the most conservative
concerns regard it is absurd to calculate
Just now either on an immense or very
small crop. A sharp rally followed the
opening .on general buying and something
of a scare on big Texas rains and fore
cast OF further showers. Some reports
had It that considerable damage had taken
place.
