COTTON FUTURES.

New York, July 16.-The cotton mar
ket opened quiet, with prices un-
changed to 8 points higher, this being
natural response to firmness in the
Liverpool market and to supporting
orders from abroad. Following the
call the tendency was upward on buy
ing, led by the shorts. who seemed to
fear possible "squeezes" in July and
August. The crop and weather re-
ports were very favorable as a rule
and there were few investment or
ders in evidence. Later in the morn
ing Liverpool lost portion of the
early advance and selling for profits
by insiders became something of a
feature. Demand from shorts petered
out and prices slowly slipped back
ward, reaching a level slightly below
yesterdays close soon after the noon
hour. For the greater portion of the
balance of the day the market was
dull and narrow, with sentiment mix
ed. The government reports gave
good rains in the central and portions
of the Western belt, and the forecast
was for showers and thunderstorms to-
night and tomorrow over the Eastern
and central sections.
The market closed dull and steady,
with prices net unchanged to points
higher, having rallied near the close
on demand from local shorts and alb
sence of offerings. Total sales esti-
mated at 10000 bales.

advanced to subsequently on near
months, and on late, but shortly
after became easier and declined
about 4 from the top on favorable
crop accounts. The absence of SELL
ers and fresh buying near the close
again caused steadiness, making the
net gain 8 to points on the day.
Rains were more or less general
throughout the cotton region during
the past twenty-four hours, except
in the Little Rock, Memphis, Vicks-
burg and Oklahoma districts. Show
ers ranging from 1s inch to inches
occurred in Texas, Louisiana and
Georgia, and showers are predicted
practically for the entire belt tonight
and Thursday. The crop outlook has
shown a marked improvement during
the past three weeks, and it is there
fore expected that the next monthly
bureau report ought to ccrroborate
these favorable conditions. Six new
bales of cotton have already been
picked in Texas as compared to only,
three last year, reported in the early
part of August. This would indicate
an early crop from that state, and
the chances are the movement of new
cotton in August will be on liberal
scale. The good crop prospects or
dinarily would have occasioned a fur
Their decline on new crop options were
it not for the fear of manipulation Of
the near months and the heavy dis
counts existing in the former positions
which prevent operators from selling

The tirmness of the Liverpool mar
tst to-day and the supporting orders
%rorn abroad sent the New York mar
bet points higher and following the
all the tendency continued upward,
led by shorts who were afraid of a
squeeze in July and August. Later Liv-
ernool lost a part of it's early advance
and selling for profit by insiders be-
came something of feature of the
davis trading. In the New Orleans
market there were net gains for the
day of to 5 points.
In the local market there was no
business at all, as has been the case
for the past week or ten days. Neither
in SPOT cotton or TO, b. has there been
any business done for some time. In
fact not only is there no business to
be had but hardly any inquiries. Re-
CENTS to-day were 1888.
Mr.. Fred C. Hubbell, who returned
10 Savannah to-day after an extensive
trip through North Carolina and South
Carolina, reports that the cotton out
look in both those states is almost per-
feet. The plant has received plenty of
rain, he says, is well cultivated. and
we'll fruited, and the outlook is for
an excellent yield both as to quantity
and quality.
Spirits took a slight brace from the
closing price of yesterday, the market
opening firm at 441s to 44A, but by the
time the market closed the outside fig
ure had been dropped and prices re-
verted to that of the day before. After
the close of the market the best bids
were "A. but so far as is known no
sales were made at that price.

Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, July 16.-The market
for cotton this morning was .unin-
fiuenced by bearish bureau report Of
yesterday, and prices were better at
the opening by 1 to 8 points. More
rain fell in Texas. Palestine report
ing a fall of an inch. There was 2
inches of rain at New Orleans, the
trade appeared to be more interested
at this time in the movement of cot
ton in next sixty days than in the
rain question. 1t was expected that
new crop is conspicuous by its abb
sence. Half of July has past by with
out new cotton of consequence being
marketed. Now the talk is that
August will witness a heavy move

ment, but until this actually occurs
the trading is going to adopt con-
servative policy. A short interest in
January, of no little Importance is
claimed and Europe fails to avail
herself of the glowing crop advices
from this side which leads to the
belief that she is by no means as
sured of being able to pull through
quite comfortably. Accounts by mail
asserting too much rain in portions
of Texas and anxiety of farmers in
consequence have been received, but
these attracted little attention. Cables
were about same as yesterday. Liver
pool and Philadelphia bought a little
here, but both sides We're Indifferent
and prefer to await developments.
Port receipts 1000, against 5000 last
year.

New Orleans, July 16.-In the spot

The market contracts were dull with
trading confined principally to room
work. The market opened 1 to 2
points above yesterdays level, and
under the influence of a light run
of early buying orders moved up 3
to 3 points additional. after which
matters settled down to a period of
absolute inertia, during which prices
fluctuated a point or two with just
bare downward tendency, leaving
them at the close net to 4 points

The College Building.

The suspense and anxiety of our
people caused by the possibility
of our not being able to get such a
school building as the needs of the
the town require for the sum at
our command have been disslp-
ated. The contract has been let to
Mr.. C. w. Spencer of North Caro-
lima, a contractor of considerable
prominence, and. by the way, a
brother of Superintendent Spencer
of the cotton mill. At the earliest
possible moment after the de-
tails of the contract have been ar
ranged ground will be broken and
the old academy grove will be the
scene of an army of brick masons,
carpenters and laborers each doing
with all his might the task assign
ed him. II goes without saying
that Mr.. Spencer will press for
ward with al! possible despatch for
on this, having a maximum OF
work done in a minimum of time,
hangs largely his profits. Such be.
ing the case, with no untoward
circumstance retarding the pro-
gress, the S. G. C. 1. will be quar-
tered in the new college building
after the lapse of only a few
months.
