COTTON BULLS NEED BUYER
FOR THEIR 10000 BALES.
of Their Campaign-Price Is
Pushed Upward.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. July 16.-Another demonstra-
ton was made to-day in the cotton market
by the New Orleans pool. which was con-
fired to those months cornered by the bull
pool.
August cotton sold up 20 points above the
closing price Of Wednesday night. July sold
up "a points, and September sold up 1S
points. These advances were confined to
the New York market. In New Orleans
there was an advance Of 80 points in July.
81 in August and 30 in September.
The advance in Liverpool. where D. Vim
cent. OF Vincent & Hayne, now Is. started
the upward turn in prices to-day. The con-
sehsus of opinion in Cotton Exchange circles
to-day was that the sharp twist which the
bull pool gave the market was in line with
an effort to sell some of the spot cotton
which Is stored in this city and in New
Orleans.
1t Is pointed out that the time is becoming
limited when an opportunity to find mar
ket for the 10000 bales of cotton held by
the pool can be found. The, official esti-
mates Of the amount of cotton being shipped
is exceedingly small. On the ability of the
cotton depends the favorable termination
of the great movement in July and August
cotton. At the close the market was barely
steady. with prices from 2 to IS points
higher than yesterdays last.
