New Orleans, May 23.-Our market
opened l to 2 higher, and shortly aft
er advanced s to 8 additional on near
months, and to on late, in antici-
patton of a very bullish visible sup
ply statement. Upon the issuance of
this document it proved to be bearish
causing the improvement to be lost on
all months except July, which closed
> higher while the others were 16
points higher to 2 lower. The amount
brought into sight during the week
was $4,000 against $4,000 last year, and
$4,000 year before last, aggregating
from Sept. l to date 9,S12,O00 an in
crease of 100000 over last year and L.
049,0 900 over year before last; therefore
on the face of the movement the crop
points to 0,593, 900, if compared to last
year, and a crop of 10,4S4,000 is indi-
Gated if compared with year before
last. The leading interior towns dur
ing the week received $4,000, against
$4,000 last year, and $4,000 year before
last. and hold in stock $4,000, against
397, 900 last year, and 161, 900 year be-
fore last. The total stock of Amer
lean ashore and afloat to Liverpool is
963, 900, against $4,000 last year, and
527 900 year before last. The visible
supply of American decreased during
the week 81 900, against $4,000 last year
and $4,000 year before last showing
that the takings of American cotton
this week were $4,000 less than last
year, and 10000 under year before last.
The total visible of American is 2,215,-
0O0 against 2,2S0,000 last year and l.
600 year before last. A leading opera
tor in New York issued a circular to-
day estimated the increase in acreage
3h per cent. over last year, and a de-
crease of 612 per cent. in fertilizers.
This may have some effect later, pro-
viding crop accounts continue favora-
Bile. The figures show conclusively
that spinners are curtailing consump-
ton, and it is questionable whether
they will buy much under existing
conditions. They will probably pur-
sue a hand to mouth policy. Weather
conditions and the demand for spots
will regulate the future course of
values.

The influence that has held the cot

been the outlook for a good crop,
which in turn brought out sellers of
the new crop positions in large num-
