COTTON FUTURES.

New York, July 25.-The cotton mar
ket opened firm with prices 4 to Ia
points lower under a bad scare of be-
tated near month longs who were
frightened by the issuance of 40 900
OaIes July notices, which, followed the
So'eOO issued last Tuesday for a time
created a semi-panic among the bulls.
NOT until July dropped to S15c and Au-
guest to S.03c did the market show the
least symptom of recuperative power
ana 1t was not until midday that a
positively steady feeling developed
Then it was learned that strong inter-
ests had stopped the forces and would
Immediately ship the cotton to the
Northern mills or to Europe. Early
IN the afternoon conservative operators
began to quietly gather Ill stray lots
OF July and August, while later month
shorts beat a retreat. For the rest of
the session the tendency was steadily
upward with investment buying some
thing of feature. In the last hour
July shorts endeavored to cover, but
round the market almost totally bare
OF offerings. AS against S.15c on the
nrst break July worked up to sac;
august advanced from S.03c to 823c,
while Late months held quite firm at
about last nights final bids. The
close was very steady with prices net
l poirH lower to points higher this
being about the top notch of the ses-
sion. Total sales for the day were es-
timated at 100000 bales, a lareg pof-
tion of which was summer and early
fall delivery options.

crop months suffered less losing to 8
points, and it was evident that the lat
ter were not likely to be subjected to
very severe attacks just yet, despite
the brilliant crop advices pouring in
from all directions. We have yet to
make the crop and the possibility of
adverse developments is being borne in
mind, and while the August bureau fig-
ures will probably look quite bearish,
there may be a retrograde movement
between August and October as there
was in 1886 when the crop went off 20
per cent. in condition. Conceding a
crop of 11,225,0OO, which many claim
is likely at this date, conservative firms
calculate that it will require II 500, coo
TO place spinners in a comfortable po-
sition, hence they argue that even with
the present bright outlook prices are
no more than fair. Since Great Brit
ain, the continent and the South will
be compelled to buy quite freely when
the season opens. The impression to-
day was that prominent people were
engaged in depressing the new crop in
order to cover large lines of August.
Big rains fell in Texas, over six inches
at Temple. In sight for week $4,000;
total for season to date, 10,226,000

New Orleans, July 25.-Discouraging
Liverpool advices influenced our mar
ket unfavorably, and a decline of

late was established on the opening.
Subsequently, however, reports of 40
600 to $4,000 notices being stopped in
New York and fears of too much rain
in Texas caused an improvement of 10
to 16 from the bottom. Near the close
values again eased off, slightly max
ing the net gain six on August and
two to three on all the other months,
except July which declined 4 points.
Good general rains fell in Texas,
Arkansas and the Atlanties but it was
generally fair ia the central portion Of
the belt. Showers are predicted for to-
night and Saturday over the Atlanties,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and
the Eastern portion of Texas.
The total stock of American ashore
and ahoat to Liverpool is $4,000
against $4,000 last year. and 35S,OOO
year before last. The visible supply of
American, including 10000 minus cor
rection in Barcelona stock decreased
$4,000 during the week, against loss
of $4,000 last year, and $1,000 year be-
fore last, and the aggregate American
supply to date is 1,1S6,000 against L.
407, 900 last year, and SS2,000 year be-
fore last. The crop prospects of the
whole are favorable and although
there are fears entertained Of excess
i've rains doing damage in Texas, they
are not seriously considered for the
moment. With a continuance of gen.
eral rains in Texas it might interfere
with picking and retard the move
ment of new cotton during August,
otherwise it will ultimately be bene-

Weather conditions and the demand
for spots will continue to regulate

The rainfall that occurred in South

have been highly beneficial to the crop,

New Orleans, July 25.-The heavy
drop in futures, continued seasonable
weather in Texas and the decline in
Liverpool have brought the spot mar
ket almost to standstill.
Opening sales showed a loss of to
points on current, and to points
on the fall and winter months. After
the call covering and some investment
buying led to the recovery of the en-
tire decline, and sent values higher
than last evenings figures by 8 to 5
points. There, after the market stead
led down, the fluctuations being with
