 NEW YORK, May I4.-with cotton selling at the rate of 20 900 bales a day in Liver pool and New Orleans at 2 cents pound for July it would seem though the outlook for short selling and profit that side of the market was not very attractive Of course, there will be change some day, but it is a question to the extent of the advance be- fore that day arrives. It Is the middle of May. We have had occasion once before to contrcdict reports that the New England crowd was out of the market, It has been said this week that MT. Sully is D actcally out of cot ton We not disposed to give this report the support of our credulity. We would like to believe that May, July. August and every option on the list the biggest kind of a sale. It would be easy to slide down hill Too easy, In fact. far factors in the situation go. We want to this May option wiped off the board first. We would rather talk about shorting cotton the 29th day of May than the I4th. MT. Sully and MT Me- Fadden and Mir Brown pulling cotton Nothing further need be said They have more money than all the rest cf us put together We would continue to liquidate long October every bulge around cents for a time now and walt for the smash that will be found a part of the cotton history of this season be- fore another three weeks have passed The @ was big business all day with new high rec ords early and a decline later. But each de cline does not seem to carry the market as low the previous one and for this reason we still regard short selling as very, very danqerCus

NEW HIGH RECORDS FOR THE
 SEASON.
May, July and August Reach Prices Not Before Attained in Ten Years-Gains Shown at
 the Close.

NEW YORK, May l4.-The cotton market opened firm with prices 30io points higher and while the volume of transactions was not heavy that reported yesterday, ruled strength was under a renewal of the scramble of shorts to cover which this morning received encouragement from the sensational strength of spot cotton at Liverpool where an advance to 6.io for mddling uplands was reported with sales of 10000. At the initial prices here realizing sales were very heavy, but the market advanced to a level net 4@l4 points above last nights closing before any material halt in the upward movement could be effected Then it appeared that the shorts who for the time being could be forced were pretty thor oughly covered and 1t was noted that the pro- longed advance was having the effect of at- tracing actual cotton to this market from all directions, including Europe This, with eased the market for the moment and the list sold of to a level net points higher to 5 points lower. Later. however, there was re- newed excitement under strong advices from which brought about a fresh scare of shoi ts and the covering became quite active as at any time recently. Under these prices were shsrp rallies. touching new high records for July to 1 and August to l0.76. these prices never having been surpassed during the last ten years So far these particular options are concerned. though during the famous up to i275. The weather today was favor able. exports light and while the spot maj kets fin this country were strong and In most in- stances higher, small sales were reported. These factors exerted little influence owing to the speculative conditions now obtaining and the market at the close was very steady at within about 2M5 points of best of the day and unchanged to l7 points higher on all ex- cept June, which was nomnally 6 points lower. Total sales of futu.es were estimated at 75o, ,OO0.j

Virgin & Faunce'c Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK, May I4.-Again tho records for cotton future prices b. oken and again the beafs doomed to dssppoInt- ment inasmuch they had figured that the worst came with the high quotations estab- lished yesterday. Shorts were eager to get out. and they entered a veiitable stampede in an effort to reduce their commitments. which on the whole are not believed to be very exten- sive at this late day. At the high prices there was tremendous line of profit taking and realizing in the local pit, but the shorts continued to buy with unabated hunger. and 1t was rome time before the market respond ed to pressure. When the decline ensueA it came with fo co rnd the price leved meltei con . siderably. At the lower prices a little more consideration was given to so-called legiti- mate market influences. The weekly estimates were stilr regarded Tathe' bearish. The advices regarding the strike failed to note any in portant change. and the demand for spot cotton continued slow. with of. rings only fair. The weather map figured h f. farent ways, inasmuch some interests nr- Rued that there had been too much ia'n in the Southwest, while others argued that the mois- ture was great help to the growth and that the plant was showing up well in most zee tions h the latter pat of the day there considerable mixture sentiment and nervousness and uncertainty continued up to the last. many interests on the clcse beirg stll disposed to refrain from making definite ex- pressions one way or the other.

New Orleans Spot Cotton

NEW ORLEANS, May l4.-7Spot cotton was very quiet. The offerings were light and fic- tors are apparently making an effort to keep the price of spot cotton as near as possible t1 the current rates of futures for the Summer months. Sales. 2.e5o bales. including 250 to arrive. Quotations hc higher.
 Futures at the opening were irregular with bullish sentiment seemingly stronger than ever. Trading heavy. longs realizing freely and shorts eagerly taking everything thrown into the ring To: the fist half hour fluctuations rapid and wide and the excitement was intense. July opened up 2 points. August, 20: September. l l. From these levels there was recess. on due to liquidation. The al at the opening caused by sensa- tional reports from Liverpool. where early in the day spot t;ading had reached 20 ooJ bales and prices were up 10 points and ad- vancing. In the future market the opening called firm with prices at an advance of 10 points in the near months and in the distant This advance was maintained anl added to by one point throughout the day. After the opening here, July sold down to l.se. then up to l2.o7. August down to lI2l and up to 50; September to 9.I5 and up to e.67: October to 9.6S and up to 8 96.

 NEW ORLEANS. May I4.-The cotton mar kets have grown more feve- ish and the pulse of the situation is beating at fierce late. Liverpool and New York have finally developed unbourded enthusiasm as result of tarIi- ness in recognizing the possibilities and proba- blities of the case. but this fact seems cnly to have spurred the New Orleans market on to greater achievements. Nerve-recking D ice changes new the rue rather than the ex- ception and the folly or rather the danger of trading in old crop deliveries without ample protection in spot cotton is too patent to re- quire special mention. The ultimate outcome concerning old crop options will only be known as the end of tte season draws nearer and it is not likely that any of the details will escape attention, but tho settlement should be left to those who best qualified to superintend 1t. As to the new crop, cond tions are fai 1, ,om being satisfactory. In addition to the beckwa' dness of the plant and the necessity for replanting in many instances. complaints of excessive rains in the central belt are being received. There doubt that large cror will be needed in the coming season and with the outlook no more promising than at p'es- cnt Fall deliveries especially attractive at or below existing quotations.

 NEW YORK, May i4.-Heavy spot sales in Liverpool market was again reported this morning. while futures were up in full ie- sponse to our Iise of yesterday More less Iain was the ca. ly weather report and private reports were coming in of the crop beng hurt by too much rain and winds in the Atlantic and Gulf States. New York opened 3Gl 4 points higher, August showing most strength and activity. Early reports showed 2o.U0o spot sales in Liverpool and this simply inexplieable to be.ated shorts who had sup posed that the ma ket was being boosted on manipulation alone. and independent of the supply and demand. There reaction after the opening. but on the whole thee was no selling of impoi tance. The New Orleans bull clique presumed to have booked July for much higher prices; at least. that Is the view entertairIed here. People who started to sell short dare not and on the whole mo- body ventures to stand in their way until there Is god evidence of plenty of available cotton of desirable grade yet to be marketed. It would seem to be reasonable to assume that the unprecedented price has brought out all the cotton that Is to come forward. Cables closed steady, 4d 10 points advance. Port re- ce.pts were estimated ct o,ooo, against g, l CA last year.
