New York June 1.-The government 5
report issued tins morning was about as
expected in so far as the condition of the
growing crop is concerned, but the in
crease shown in the acreage is greater than
expected. 1t is quite noticeable, however,
that the lowest condition is in Texas as
the smallest increase in acreage is also
in Texas Texas being the great cotton
growing State this is very significant,
there being an increase of acreage in that
State Of only 1h per cent, and the con
dition so low as to Indicate an abso-
lutte disaster without the most perfect

view OF the great increase recently OF COM

Georgia, Alabama and Texas in particti-
lar. report the lowest condition ever
known in June, and these three States
produce approximately SIS per cent Of the
cotton crop of America.
The floods now sweeping down the Mis-
sissippi River have no effect upon the cot
ton market, but will probably be factor
in few days when the water reaches the
Delta section.
There was some talk today about Mr..
Sully having gone to Europe to engineer
a corner in the July-August option at
Liverpool, but this is not credited gen.
orally. The Brown crowd were buyers

opinion on the market. 1t is not time

improve from this, and any crop that I'M
proves in June or July is likely to turn out
big yield. We very much doubt whether
there will be active speculation for some
time The more important interests IN
the market sold cotton by the thousands
Of bales after the report was issued.
This may have been long cotton, and then
it may not. On the other hand the re-
port shows that we have got to have tue
very finest kind of weather all through
the summer to prevent 10 and Ia cent cot
ton next year. For this reason, and he
cause we have got to have an enormous
crop, it is hardly advisable to talk about
short selling. We would rather let the
market case off a little and then buy
October cotton for higher prices At the
moment conditions are rather against ar

New York, June 4.--our market opened
quiet but Arm, every one waiting with
more than usual interest the government
bureau report, which was received prompt
ly on time, 1915, showing conditions to
be TAI the lowest in the history of the
Government service. The great majority
of the members of the exchange were as
founded as the concensus of opinion has
been for some time that it would not be
below rs or above So The natural idea
was that at 78 the market would not be
affected either way as 1T was discounted,
but any materially lower basis would
cause new high record prices all along the
line and doubtless would have done So,
but for the. action OF prominent spot
house of Philadelphia, which Immediately
threw large blocks on the market until
rs 1000 to 100, 600 bales were sold, thereby
preventing an advance to the high level
of the market before the bureau was
known, the purpose Of which was patent
to ALL Although the source Of supply was
well known the cotton was promptly alb
sorbed
After the party was bought out the
market improved. AS to the future course
of the market we would not be surprised
to see some advance, especially SO IN the
summer and near fall months. AS condi-
tions grow better we will see lower prices
tor the distant months, and much lower
prices for December and January.

mediately following the reading of the re-
port the excitement was intense. The
first rush OF orders sent prices up 6 to 10
points, but this buying exhausted orders
Immediately available and proft-taking by
buyers on the early break eased prices
of while leading bears interests insisted
IN forcing the market down
The decline was of short duration, how
ever, for the arrival of out of town buying
orders again rallied the market and July
sold up to 11.35 at the best, that being
within one point of the record for the
season, while September reached its prcvi-
GUS high point, selling at 1922; December
sold at 1854 and January at 949, the list
at these prices showing a net gain of :
to 10 points.
Then profit taking set in again, Wall
Street bears we're heavy sellers and the
