It is going to be a good trading market and October may not reach 7.50 for many weeks. In the event of rains east of the river sentiment will grow more bearish.

New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, July 26.-There was some little moving about among buyers in the spot cotton market today, but no trading of any consequence. Offerings were very poor and for such small lists of desir- able cotton as they chanced to have on hand factors were disposed to claim slight concessions, which the purchasing clements were disinclined to make. The result was that only 200 bales of spots changed hands. Quotations unchanged.
 The market for futures was firmer at the opening with net gains of to points. Soon after the first call prices began to sag. both here and at New York, on the new crop months, under the influence of realizing sales so that on the sound of the gong the net result showed in gains of but points on August and 1 point and March September closed 1 point ures. Too much rain In sections of Texas and ravages of the Mexican boil weevil. were the elements that held the market up today.

 Coffee futures opened steady, unchang- ed to points lower, Brazilian receipts
 being far heavier than expected and liquidation figuring prominently in the early trading. Not long after the call the bulls started in to buy the near positions
 and soon had the shorts covering active ly. Stop orders in bear circles were re-
 ported on the advance, which amounted to some 15 points in several instances. Importers were liberal sellers on the rise. The market at the close ruled steady, with prices net unchanged to 15 points higher Total sales 33500 bags, July 5.35@ 5 40; August 5.30G5. 4O September 5.25@ 5. 45; October 5.15@5. 90; December 5.15Q 5.So; March 5.35; May $40.

Nem York Cotton Futures.
Murphy 0 co.,s cotton Letter.

New York, July 26.-There was an ad- vance in the Liverpool cotton market to- day which though slightly indicated there as here, a belief that rally was in or der from the recent sharp depression. The talk of excessive rains is indulged in quite general and 1t looks as if bulls will use this with some effect just as they before used dry weather talk for helping the cause, notwithstanding big rains in Texas, it is claimed by the extreme bull wing that they came too late to do much good and that the crop here and else where is so spotted as to render it be- yond possibility of reaching anything re- markable On the. other hand we hear claims of crop of no less than twelve millions if weather conditions prove fa- vorable between now and October 15. Prices here opened to 6 points lower for September and October. Other months were off 1 to points. Cables showed too little variation to induce extensive local operations. Numerous southern people here were not so confident of an immense crop as generally talked of while the most conservative concerns regard 1t as ab- surd to valculate just now either on an immense or very small crop.
 A sharp rally followed the opening on general buying and something of a scare on big Texas rains and forecast of fur ther showers. Some reports had it that considerable damage had taken place.
