Local Cotton Market
R. M. Scale & Co.'S Cotton Letter. IRx sraraa, 1.aa xrr..


 NEW ORLEANS. July S.-The most s.gnifi- cant development in connection with the Liver poo lmarket today was the decline of l-I6d m spots, though l2,ooo bales changed hands at this concession, and suggested no change rom the belief created that spinners have been pursuing dilatory methods about Eeplen- ishing stocks in order tn efectualIy dissuade any attempt at ,eievating. prices for the tail end or the session. Trading here was of an undecided character until the publication of the crop report, which represented a better pros- pect for the growing crop than private ac- counts had indicated and precipitated a sell ing movement that forced a sharp decline This report leaves the inference to be drawn that Texas has been materially improved by Denenctal rains, while the plant in other drought districts Is holding out well Clos Ing quotations are Soy points lower than yesterday. The surprising change in the tenor or the Government report has discouraged ac- i've support to the market for the time being though 1t has not altered the impression pre- vailing amongst many that the crop is far from being in satisfactory condition The whole situation resolves itself into one fact that neither side are inclined to commit them selves extensively on immediate events and frequent fluctuations likely to be observed until the time for formning more settled opinions are at hand.

 NEW ORLEANS, July 8-Liverpool ad- vices are encouraging, consequently our mar ket opened about points higher, subsequently improved log additional on fears that the weekly weather report might be more unfa- Voraple than expected. Upon the issuance of this document, however 1t was construed on the whole as being favorable and caused a break Of S0tO points from the top. making the net loss Soy points on the day. The sum mary of the weekly report was as fnlIows: high temperature. the crop over much the greater portion of the central and eastern districts of the cotton belt has materially deteriorated especially over the southern DOT ering the size of the plant 1t is fruiting well and is generally clean. In Tennessee, extreme Northern Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Ok lahoma and Indian Tennitory the crop con tinues In promising condition. although it is needing cultivation and making too much weed in portions of Arkansas In Texas cot ton shows further improvement and is making good, healthy growth except in the south western and northwestern counties, where it is at a standstill While the plant is small it is spreading nicely and fruiting satisfac- tortly. but few reports of shedding and boil weevh are received In the itemized weather report today. the director for Texas says that during the preceding wook GA per cent of rainfall in excess of inches 23 per cent ! to inches and 3 per cent less than i inch and as there has been more than usual cloudiness during the week cotton shows fur ther improvement We quoted last week Texas report some few days ago and now give this weeks, both of which contradictory of the remarks quoted by monthly bureau report in which 1t was claimed that the rains in Texas did little or no good. From the above 1t will be that the States west of tbe Mississippi are in good condition. but rains are needed over the greater portion of the central and eastern districts.

Murphy 6 Co.'S (Inc.> Cotton Letter


 NEW YORK, July 8.-Speculation in cotton this morning was on small scale steadiness at Liverpool helped sustain local prices and fin some instances advanced them a couple of points. but a hold-of policy was being ob- served until more is known as to the cron regarding which people as a rule are quite at sea with a growing tendency to adopt qulte conservative news to the matter Of brilliancy or even what may be called a very bountful yield. The scaIpInR clements exact status of the crop Is thoroughly under stood and 1t will require some time for this meanwhile people are proceeding with unusual caution and the changes in sentiment favor nave reached the date when few predic- tions Of a brilliant or bumper crop are fndulged Tn. The most that is now looked for is n good-sized crop and it is a question whether this will suffice for actual needs. The foreign markets were without special feature The range to noon narrow The receipts ar all ports were estimated at l 900 against 5 = 4OO last year. The weekly Government rron report showed deterioration and the effect on the market was recovery and gain over yes clningf on more bearish interpretation of weekly report.
 London, July 9-The crisis in Lancashire is growing more acute and the trade regards only salvation. A meeting has been called for July II to consider the replies to circu- lars advocating joint action of the spinneTs m resorting to short time, as was done during the last two Summers. The general opinion Is that a c,IrtaiIment or the production on even more extensive scale than heretofore will be necessary to avoid heavy losses President Charles w Macara of the Masters Federation says that the short supply of cotton and the big discount in the price of future delivery are the main causes of the crisis. He declares that sreculatorys have secured possession of raw material and

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
FIRM CABLES CAUSE ADVANCE
 AT OPENING.
Selling for Commission Houses Active Toward End of Session and at the Close Prices Were Of
 to 10 Points.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The cotton market opened steady and unchanged to points higher the slight improvement being in sym pathy with frmer ruling of the Liverpool market than anticipated. For the balance of the forenoon trade wa light and fluctuations at best were limited to points. The infu. ences at work were too conflicting to permit or strong foothold being secured by either ouns or bears for the moment The fourth sold here on the call and from time to time curing the rest of the forenoon Wall Street appeared to be selling the Summer months. Al noon prices were practically unchanged rom the opening. Then came reports from Masnington At first reading the summary was less favorable than expected and led to Hurry of covering on which prices worked up 293 points. But the Texas detailed re- ports and the reports from other States re- ceived Immediately afterward portrayed a much better prospect for much of the cotton country than generally anticipated Active selling for both accounts immediately set in ana for the balance of the session the ten oency was quite steadily downward. Liquida- ton of August and some final closing out of Juiy longs proved something of a leu. The oemand was feverish. but far from active on the late decline; selling for commission houses accounts was active at times. The market closed but little up from the bottom. The tone was quiet with prices net 66l0 points lower. Total sales estimated at 100, GOO bales

Iondon FinAncial Cablegram.

NEW YORK. July 9.-The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Kaffirs were demoraIizedl today and there was forced liquidation all round on appre- hension over the settlement. Some small fail- ures are regarded as inevitable and It was ru mored that on that account arranged it's af- fairs within the last few days The general view of the immediate market outlook is very pessimistic The other departments of the market moved independently of Kaffirs as no bull account is open. Americans were for gotten early, but New York finally came a buyer of the grangers, the Pacific stocks, Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and West ern The close was at the top but London does nothing and displays no promise or do- ing anything.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. July 8-The market for spot cotton was steady and without perceptble change in ruling prices. though some buyers incline to the opinion that values are just a shade easier.
