New Orleans Cotton Market.


New Orleans, May N.-The market for
spot cotton has undergone sharp changes.
After yesterdays closing there was con-
siderable activity and several lists Of
cotton changed hands. This activity con-
tinued today. Buying orders came in over
night and local operators, as a rule were
allowed more discretion as to prices. The
sales were 1000 bales, including HOO to ar
rive. Quotations advanced Lice on all
grades. Contracts were moderately ac-
tive. Not a great deal of outside interest
was manifested. but professional trading
was in fair swing throughout, with the
advantage distinctly on the long side of
the market. Liverpool led off with good
demand for spots at an advance Of 1-32c
ever yesterdays prices and worked con-
tracts up to a net gain of 4-64G6-64d on
this crop and 2-64 and Add on next crop
deliveries.
In response to the great improvement
on the other side New York and New Or
leans both opened at sharp advances. In
this market the first call showed an ad-
vance of to points on the summer
months and 1 to Q points on the winter,
and soon worked up to points addi-
tional. Prices continued to improve and
at the close showed net gains of rs points

New York, May N.-The demand for

has been a fair demand for the latter for
next fall and spring seasons. Prices here

legged excessive moisture. Nevertheless
cables were quite bullsh when we opened
and the market here advanced to D
points. Continual buying at Liverpool
was reported and New York rose to 10
points during the first hour, with bulls
in full control for while when profit
taking for the time being put an end
to the upward trend. Both sides were
confident. but bulls appeared to have the
advantage since Liverpool closed 21a to 6
advance nevertheless buyers were not
eager. The spot market Is believed by
many to be the key to the situation and
the willingness of mills to secure cotton
is too important to be ignored, despite
fine weather conditions. 1t is understood
that new England mills are paying 1OAc
in Georgia, for strict middling and SINH
lar reports are at hand from other Sec
tions. The receipts are quite small every
where and while one side contends that
the low price has checked the movement,
others contend that signs of exhaustion
are daily multiplying. A see-saw market
is probable until the bureau report Is
made public on June 3. Indications were
for showers In the CarolInas and fair
weather elsewhere Wall street interests
appear on the bull side.

New York, May H.-The market can
not stand the small receipts. This was
bound to make an impression sooner or
later, and is beginning to make itself
felt. There was another advance in
prices today, with July selling again at
&c and August at S.70c. The new crop
options were also in better demand at
advancing prices. The market has had
a big shake-out on the long side, a great
many went short, and now 1t looks as
though an advance of more than a mere
reaction was in order. The tone Is
healthy, much better than 1t has been
in some time, and as long as the buying
keeps up there will be money in buying
cotton on the breaks. We cannot advise
selling at the moment we did a month
ago. The market has had the influence of
the new crop getting started well, and
had its break.
Now 1t may work up some again on the
absence of any cotton coming into sight
in such volume as to depress spot mar
kets.
We would sell long cotton on an adj
vance tomorrow, as a reaction will be
in order before very long. An advance to
cents for July and ss4 for August is no
more than a natural reaction after a
cent decline.

New York, May H.-The cotton market
opened firm and to 5 points higher on
brisk covering and some bull support.
Nevertheless the rise was a slim re-
Spouse to strong Liverpool cables and
exceedingly small receipts at all points.
After moments hesitation the whole
market developed decided strength and
worked rapidly higher until July reached
S.9s. Wall street sold at the start, but
later became a large buyer of the sum-
mer months. Spot cotton houses and ex-
port interests bid for large blocks of May
and June contracts, but were unable to
get more than a few struggling lots. The
south and Europe, too bought In the
local ring. Profit-taking later sent prices
off to points, but early in the after
noon the market again exhibited bullish
tendencies and advanced point by point

alarmed shorts. Peace news from Lon

to check any speculative buying. In the

A jump of 81 points in New Orleans to
9.36 for July followed reports that ex-
porters and spinners were buying con-
tracts as a hedge against needed sup
plies of actual cotton. The local market
closed steady and net to 16 points high

bales, with the new crops attracting
more attention than at any previous day
this year.
