to-day The feeling was decidedly
mixed Receipts on one hand kept
very small, but on the other weather

weak longs have been shaken out, but
the trade, as a rule, was quite uncer

bles were 4 to lower and receipts at
ports were estimated at 1000, against
II 900. In the cotton belt to-day there
was rain at Montgomery New Or

claimed that sections of. Alabama were
needing rain. The estimate for Hous-

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, May 14.-In spot cot
ton to-day there was little doing. Quo
tations unchanged
In contracts there was a bit of early
animation in the market and some free
trading was done, particularly in the
July position. There was some cover
ing of long cotton at the opening by
outsiders impressed by the favora BILE
weather crop conditions. Under this
pressure the market, which had open
ed up l to points, gained a point ad-
ditional and sagged off to points.
Then came New York specials report
ing renewed heavy buying by Theodore
Price. Short lines were quickly covered
and a new long interest developed
that sent values up with a dash, the
close showing net gains of to II

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 14.-The cotton mar.

points higher in response to better
cables than expected from Liverpool
and on light receipts at the ports ami

call the commission house element be-
came heavy sellers of the summer
months, which bears took as a cue for
fresh pounding. Prices lost all the

minutes and before II o'clock had drop

for July. At these figures prominent
Wall street interests, believed to be
heavily short, stepped in as large buy
ers of July and August. Prices re-
sponded sluggishly at first, but by mid
cay the whole market displayed a
tolerably steady front with smaller
shorts i'll at ease. Port receipts to be

While Southern spot markets held stub
bornly steady. The weather and crop
reports were nearly perfect, but had
been more or less discounted The
English market rallied from bottom
just before the close and the New
Orleans market exhibited a desire to
work upward on the least incentive.
During the afternoon room shorts en-
deavored to wriggle out of their I'M
happy position while the Wall street
contingent persistently bought July

upward. having quite a sharp rise in
the last ten minutes. The close was
very steady with prices net to 26
points higher, the chief advance being
in the near months. Fear of strong
English cables tomorrow frightened
the bears.

Hubbard Bros. 8 COS cotton Letter

New York. May 14.-After the sharp
break of yesterday and this morning,
the large majority of our merchants
look for substantial reaction based on
the strong visible supply position.
Many dispatches have been sent en-
hodying these views, and the rally from
the low point was the result. In Liv-
erpool a similar rally occurred and
further one is expected tomorrow in
answer to the strength here. The large
buying here came from Liverpool, rep
resenting a transfer of their ledger
from here to Liverpool. This interest
is now the, smallest during the season,
and the million bales of cotton in Liv-
erpool is more largely held there than
al any time this year. Every one is
looking and interested in securing a
reaction from the low level of the
morning. If the weather changes SO
that the reports become poorer the re-
action will be easily obtained. other
wise the spinner must be induced to
buy freely.

No disposition is shown by operators to
