The bull clique which had sold so freely during the early houIs turned insistent buyers CT July and August, while houses with European connections and New Orleans inter ests were also urgent buyers. Private cables attributed the advance at Liverpool to demand in the absence of sellers and to demand for spot cotton leading to predictions that the <ncftcs employed so successfully in pulling the New Orleans market were now to be used by the Liverpool bulls, who t was thought were endeavoring to get control of the spot supplies available in that market.

 NEW YORK, May I3.-Liverpool gave us turn today. At the close last night it looked as though we were in for a good slump. In fact. the market had break of about 30 points for July and there was abundant evi- dencc of such liquidation as would carry the market lower this morning. But the powers that be turned their attention to Liverpool and boosted that market about 10 points in- stead of letting it down. This gave shorts an- other scare and July sold over to.7O again today After the first scramble, however, con- siderable cotton was forthcoming and prices worked on towards yesterdays lower figures On general principles the course of the mar kef today Is what usually takes place after the first reaction, marking the continuation of an upward move in prices. There is nearly al ways a sharp break and then a reaction to within few points to top. Then prices grad unily sag, showing a turn in the tide. Con- ditfons at the present time are so unusual and complicated that it is impossible to state with any amount of conviction that the advance has actually culminated. It would seem as though prices were about high enough for the time being however. and for this reason We would iquidate long cotton on every favor able opportunity. This applies to October as well as other months and we said yester- day we would sell long cotton and wait for good smash before again undertaking obilga- lions on the long side

GARDINER THE VICTOR.
Given the Decision Over Marvin
 Hart at Louisville,

harC aC Louisville.
 Louisville. Ky. May 13.-George Gardi- ner was given the decision over Marvin Hart at the end of the twelfth round in their fight before the Southern Athletic CClub tonight. Hart at the end of the twelfth claimed that his right hand had been broken and gave up the fight. Hart was strong and hit like a mule kicking, but Gardiner was much faster and landed oftener. Both were very weak at the fin- ish. The fight was to have gone twenty as referee.
 The men stepped into the ring at 10 o'clock, Hart weighing 176 pounds and Gardner 164. They got to work immediate swings which were cleverly ducked by Hart. In a clinch Gardner landed a hard uppercut to the chin. but the return from Hart was hot. Time after time in the rounds that followed the men swung vi- cious hooks for the head, each working for a speedy finish Gardner invariably made fine plays on Hart's wind with short arm jolts during the clinches. Hart was fighting long range fight. but his wick ed swings generally went wild or were blocked with great cleverness by Gardner. In the third round thehe was a hot ex- change of rights to the head followed by a hail of blows to wind and jaw from Hart which set the buzzers to going in Gardner's head but the gong ended it.
 In the fourth Gardner by series of short right and left hooks ito the head stditeu IiaIt Tar dloHs queer street put was unable to finish it. Both men were tired but Hart soon recuperated in won derful fashion The terrific pace was maintained in the next three rounds Gardner looked weak and Hart was bloody. The end of the tenth round found Gardner coming strong series of right hooks made Hart groggy. It was still anybody's fight in the twelfth in spite of the fact that Gardner was the cleverer He hit Hart as often as he desired but his blows lacked steam. Hart surprised the crowd by claiming a broken hand. His seconds threw up the sponge.
 Hart was badly battered up about the face while Gardner was unmarked.

 NEW ORLEANS, May i3.-The tension in the cotton market has not relaxed in the slightest degree: on the contrary. none of the aerious problems of the situation have ap- 1roached solution. and nerve-grating price changes continue to be the rule Liverpool succeeded in marking mlddling up to Cd to- day. but this fact had no deterring effect on pnrchasefs and the sales reached 5000 bales. l& does not seem like the stock in the English market win last long at that rate. Cables told about the increased inquiry for spots from khe continent and large speculative buying in anticipation of the statistical position show ing greater strength at the@end of, this week. Trading was brisk here and leading bulls were 3n evidence most of the session. Through the efforts Summer deliveries experienced fur sher sharp improvement. while reports of too much rain fin the central belt created steadier tone for new crop options. At the rate which nuctuations have occurred, and the rapidity with which prices have moved in the upward direction to permit of a violent recoil in the course of events. But this is a peculiar season that belongs en- xirely to class of its own and for which the records show satisfactory comparison. Tn such circumstances 1t seems to be the best policy to watch in ideness rather than commit oneself to the dangerous possibilities of the summer months As matters look now. the new crop is quite to furnish ample excite xnent even for lovers of quick action.

NEW YORK, May i3.-Cotten opened at an advance of 4d29 points on heavy transac- tions The lower level at the close yester- day was unwarraBted. hence the prompt re- covery today. especially as Liverpool was again displaying remarkable activity both for fu- lures and spots. The latter especially are at tracting a good deal of notice. In fact the spot situation in all directions is dlsmaying shorts and this is not ignoring the fact that what has been claimed long since that cotton of good quality Is very scarce and is grow ing scarcer, while the new crop Is growing slowly and 1t is therefore reasonable to ex- pect consumers to show anxiety until new cotton begins to reach the market. which this year must be necessarily late. The crop Is making a fair start. but It's lateness makes 1t the more susceptible to injury and 1t Is this that Is now frightening, shorts as never be fore and eliminating the bear element day after day The market eased of after the opening.

 NEW YORK. May l3.-Liverpool advices were the chief consideration in the cotton future market today. There was sensational advance abroad. the English market being loai5 points higher than had been looked for. Local prices started as much as 27 points higher on the old crop months and are much as IA points higher on the new crop deliveries. Shorts were naturally excited with disposi- ton to get under cover and the buying for this account was on a tremendous scale. On the early rise there great deal of sell ing to secure profits. many of yesterdays buy CTS selling libersily In this connection New Orleans advices were rather indifferent. while other influences especially the crop and the weather news were encouraging to the bear forces. Private cables ascribed the rise in the English market to the lack of offerings and the strength of spot prices. There was talk however. that the local bull element had transferred its interests over to the English market, and that the latter, together with New Orleans would from this time forth rep resent the principal movements in the specula- tive markets in general orices during the day advanced to the best of the season, and the record prices for a decade were simui- taneously recorded. The late market was ev- tremely nervous and uncertain and opinions in the pit differed considerably On the close the feeling was extremely conflicting.
