cotton Letter.

C. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to H. d. Goth
ran & Co.
New York, April 14.-The obstacles In
the way of making money by buying cot
ton at cents a pound after cent ad-
vance were illustrated again today. July
sold at 8.9S and later in the day at S.SS'
One broker came into the pit early in the
afternoon and sold 10000 or 10000 bales,
August at S.75. The market took the cot
ton easily and never wavered But later
the support was withdrawn and all OPP
lions weakened to points. The weak
ness was increased by reports on the
British budget which are reported to re-
commend a loan of $150,000, 600. This is
expected to influence Liverpool tomorrow
particularly as receipts of cotton are
large much larger than had been expect
ed by the more pronounced bulls. While
the market may go considerably lower,
July cotton bought on sharp break to-
morrow should return profit before long.
1t will be remembered that the market
declined some 4S points before the de-
cline was checked and the upturn started
On a break of or points tomorrow
it will be about time to begin to play for
a reaction. We would rather buy July at
S75 than at S85 and would not buy In
any event unless in a weak spot.
July is not likely to work much below
$50 without a sharp upturn upon which
to take profits. The movement this week
is likely to exceed last year. Trouble in
Wall street would break cotton consid-
erably.

Murphy & Co. cotton Letter.

New York. April 14-LocaI cotton prices
showed to points advance in the early
market. Gables were better than general
ly looked for and considerable short in
terest is suspected as having been Gre
ated on the liquidation of last week by
big concerns, who are believed to control
the market. The census bureau figures,
based reports of ginners throughout
the south, were made public, and these
indicated crop of 9,952,0OO bales and
helped to advance early prices, though
receipts at the ports promised to reach
1900. against 5000 last year. Rain fell to
the extent of nearly inches at New Or
leans and was general over the entire
cotton belt.
A downward movement followed the
opening and the whole settled several
points under Saturdays final figures, to-
days weather reports especially bringing
in many New Orleans selling orders. Ca
bles were to 8 points lower. The figures
of the government published yesterday
indicating crop of 9,952.000 according to
ginners' returns, Is regarded by bulls as
favoring their side, was much as any
thing below 100000. is regarded as de-

BULL CONFIDENCE SHAKEN

New York. April 14-The cotton mar
ket opened steady with prices 2 to 0
points higher. the near months leading
the rise. This Improvement was due
largely to af right of ring shorts, who
had Saturday anticipated weak Liverpool
cables. Contrary to expectation, the
English market started out quite steady

of peace in South Africa helped to alarm
bears here. Nevertheless soon after the
call, heavy Wall street and commission
selling chiefly July and August, weak
ened the whole market. The decline
which followed the turn to sell was ac-
CELEBRATED by a sudden sharp break in
the Liverpool market and by foreign
selling orders. Rumor had 1t that South
Africa peace prospects were not so ia
vorable, while heavy port receipts, lib
eral estimates for tomorrow's receipts
and reports of soaking rains where most
needed in Texas combined to undermine
bull confidence. Not until May reached
S.S6, July S.SS and August 1913 was there

business came new buying orders and

secure profits. This demand found offer

prominent spot cotton house was an
eager bidder for May, Wall street
bought May and July, while the trade as
a whole bid for August. The close was
very steady with near months net
