New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, June ,s.-In the spot. cot ton market there seemed to be only & very limited demand for the staple, consequently the movement light Factors are holding for full prices and evidently in anticipation of more active request in the near future are putting out number of new lists of fair average grade and staple. Sales, 500. Quota tions unchanged.
 In futures there fair volume of trad ing largely in the nature of room work. Early in the session reports came in showing con- tinued dry weather over almost the entire belt and there was quick change of heart In pro fessional circles to the end that though the Summer months and Septemher showed gains of bN i@2 points on the morning call the new Tcrop positions were moved up sharply to the extent of points from Saturdays closing. New York at once fell in with the improve ment at this end of the line and Liverpool stiffened perceptibly. the English market final iy closing i-64d above Saturdays figures m the crop. Quickly following the initial improvement there was a mild rush of shorts to cover This sent prices rapidly skyward until a further improvement of o1l2 points had been posted. Then the operations of the scaIpers commenced and the market was sold on several points, the board at the close show ing net gains of points on June. on July. 4 on August on September and 6u9 points on the more distant positions.

fSrecial to The Advertiser.1
 NEW ORLEANS. June 9.--EarIy Liverpool advices were discouraging. but market however. opened i@2 points higher near months and late. Owing to the absence of rain throughout the belt Sunday. the subsequent firmness in Liverpool coupled to reports from Texas that rain was beginning to be badly needed, caused additional im- proyement of 609 points After this demand subsided selling to realize occasoned easi- ness. making the net gain the day 4d6 on old crop months and 5d9 new. The weekly weather report. which will be issued tomorrow. is expected to be less favorable. Berlin cables state that the American financial situation causes renewed concern. and par ticularly a result of rumors of disagreement in the management of the United States Steel corporation. The Galveston News issued a crop statement today for the State of Texas, reporting reduction of 1910 per cent. in acreage md the boil weevil is reported in 37 counties. Manchester cables state there was signs of the anticipated improvement in the cloth market last week. The effective de- ma1d from China was limited and the Indian enquiry was largely values. If rains soon take place in Texas values will probably de- cline and. on the other hand, that continuance of dry weather in that State may force prices higher.

 NEW ORLEANS. June 9.-Manchesters weekly business review indicated disappoint- ment over the dullness In trade, which seemed to show that the peace news had been dis counted in advance. There was a recovery however. from the early depression of two points on futures. and the months closed only 1 point down. While the late positions actually show a small gain over Saturdays s prices, as the result of American buying pots were marked down l-32 The weather continues the main-in fact, the sole-feature pf importance, and the absence of any rafnfalls since Saturday has increased the apprehension nf shorts and caused appreciable advance In prices of all options. It must be said, however. that the trade as whole does not yet take the drought reports seriously. al- though realizing that a continuance of pres snt conditions for a week or two longer would create genuine crop scare. With the dis courts now prevailing the existence of con- tderable short interest would make the ef- feet of a serious scare very far reaching. lately there has been a marked disposition 10 sell at prevailing prices for Winter months. n the belief that they are too high and re- gardless of the outcome of the old crop. be- rause of the prospect held out by the phe- nomenaily perfect start of the new season. The strength of spots. however. would sug- gest caution in selling the new crop, whenever prospects depart from the fine standard set up at the start. Bad crop news is liable to bring to tine front many bullish features tenn porarily overlooked.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES CROP COMPLAINTS SCARE THE
 SHORTS. Prices Broke 2 to Points on the Summer Months in the Last Five Minutes-Close 4 Low
 CT to 6 Higher.

NEW YORK. June s.-The cotton market spensd quiet with prices points lower to 2 points higher. this being about the response Gqe to weak Liverpool cables as concerns the sumyner months. Whereas there were few buy lng orders in evidence on the call, the market almost immediately sprung into activity and rapidly advanced scare of shorts, based largely upon crop complaints from various por- tions of the belt. The weather chart failed to note the rains predicted Saturday last and The official forecast did not indicate any rainstorm of note in any section of, the belt
 Southern and foreign buying helped to ad- vance July to S.75 and August to 8. 53 before to:30 o'clock. For the balance of the forenoon
 he market disposed to readily reflect de- mand from either side. Liverpool rallied from the midday decline and closed with the feel ing steady. Claims that spot cotton was in fairly good demand for export in the South and in Liverpool came forth on the advance.
 Drought cool nights and insects were men toned in the dispatches from the Carolinas. while hot winds. boil weevil and need of rain were reported from portions of Texas; in the afternoon the market lest most of the fore noon advance under profit taking by room .ongs and absence of healthy, support from the public. Tn the last five minutes prices broke
 204 points on Summer months. The close was barely steady with prices net 4 points lower to 6 points higher. June alone showing the extreme decline. Trading for the gay was limited to about 76,ooo bales.

Murphy 6 Co.'S Qnc) Cotton Letter


 NEW YORK, June 9.-Weather conditions inonopolized the attention of cotton circles today. There little fall of rain along the Atlantic Stetes coast, but none elsewhere. When the market opened there mois- ture of consequence and the idea had gained ground that rain is needed. Some sections complain of extremely hot weather and ex- press fear of injury without early rain. People recalling the deterioration of the crop from June I2 to September and October in previ- yt ars and this Is having much to dn in preventing bearish demonstration at this time, especially when it is remembered that the crop lost 25 per ce2t In condition from June sto October, 300, 25 per cent. in 1883 and 20 per cent. In 1887 and 37 per cent. in S96. The opening of the market was as tame as to the amount of business transacted. Prices were Id3 points better and the attitude of the trade rather waiting one. with an impression of possible improvement the season advances. Limitations from Liverpool were to the effect that July and August ma nipulaton not unlikely in that market. Local shorts anxious and covered lib- orally after the opening, causing 5M 0 points advance. the latter for October. On all sides evidences of extreme caution and belief that the best weather and crop views can have no more than temporary depressing in 7 fuence until have reached August. Port receipts were estimated at 4.ooo against G. o36 last year.

CAUSED BY VOLCANIC DUST.
Brilliant Sunset Witnessed by People
of San Juan,

The most brilliant sunset ever seen at
San Juan, Porto Rico. was witnessed Fri
day. 1t was caused by the refec-
ton Of the rays of the sun through
an atmosphere laden with smoke and other
volcanic matter. After sunset the horizon,
from west to north and the sky line to a
considerable height, were a lvid red, be-
hind curtain of billowy, dark clouds. The
phenomenon slowly disappeared through
rose tnts. The glare was reflected on the
ocean and produced most beautiful eff
feet. The streets and the ocean front were
thronged by an excited crowd of specta-
tors
Director Thompson of the weather hu-
usual appearance Of the sky was caused
entirely by the eruption Of Mont Pelee in
the Island of Martinique but thought that
the volcanic disturbances contributed large
ly to it. Mr.. Thompson added that he had
long expected the phenomenon to appear.
The supersttious people of the lower
class have this week been preparing for
the end of the world, which had been pre-
dicted for Thursday last. On that day the
poems in several places refused to work.
the children remained away from school
and the Inhabitants of the rural districts
attended a special mass.
In various towns fairs are being held ard
theatrical performances are being given for
the benefit of the Martinique sufferers The
French consul here has forwarded S121O,
which had been collected from the French
residents Of this island.
