New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans May 2s.-Spot cotton was
in good demand today but trading was
restricted by reason of the fact that the
market Is relatively bare of the more
desirable grades. The marked i'm prove
ment in conditions reported from Liver
pool has strengthened the Views of fac
tors and they are now asking Lice above
board prices. Sales 400 bales, including
400 to arrive. Quotations revised, low
middling and higher grades advanced
1-16c.
The market for contracts is rather quiet
owing to lack of outside interest and
the bulk of the trading must be attribut-
ed to the room contingent. The market
opened 8 to points higher and for
points additional on July and to on
the other months. This improvement was
followed by brisk realizing sales and as
a result values gave way, declining grad
ually to the close when the board showed
net gains of four points on July and to
2 points on the other months compared
with last evenings closing figures.

BEARS WERE DISTURBED

New York, May 29-The cotton market
opened firm in tone with prices to
points higher, and after tho call dis
played inherent strength on brisk de-
mand from shorts and moderate support
from the bull contingent. The Liverpool
cables were surprisingly firm, noting an
advance of 21s to points on futures and
1-16d on spot cotton when l point would
have been an ample response TO the clos
ing here last night. During the rest of
the forenoon the course of the market
was quite steadily upward on active gen
eral buying at all times. led by the shorts,
who were made nervous by further i'm
provement abroad. Liverpool closed at
about the top, net gain of 81 to 6
points and later sent buying orders to
representatives here. Light receipts
throughout the belt, f1rmer spot markets
in the South and complaints of too much
lain in some districts, insufficient moist
ure In others and ravages by insects in
still others greatly disturbed the bear ele-
ment and ior the moment encouraged
bull support. The Journal of Commerce
acreage and crop condition report was
summed up as rather bullish, showing a
decrease OF 2.23 per cent in acreage ard
an average crop condition of about 80, or
10 points above that for the same time
lsst year. Before the buying movement
ran its course July reached 905 and Au-
gust SIS. After midday trading quieted
down consider ably and the advance grad
ually disappeared before profit taking by
room holders. In the last half hour SELL
ing for both accounts caused a sharp
break, with the market finally quiet and
net 4 points lower to points higher.
Wall street vas a liberal seller on the
late decline.
