NEW YORK, July Io.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 265 points and. immediately following the call. displayed great hrmness. coupled with excitement and activity under further bull support covering by room and Wall Street shorts and rather new crop positions were concerned August opened at 2.25. sold up to 2. A in the first few minutes, while July was sold at t2 50. and September, after opening at lo.6o soon reached lo.97, with the later positions showing net gains of from to points. As the mar ket advanced, however, the bulls withdrew &C., tive support. and soon a moderate realizing movement was in progress. which. later on. with the assistance of renewed selling by the bear contingent. brought about a decline from the best of from to 39 points with August showing the greatest weakness. Then cover ing in the nearby positions once more rallied the market, which, however was again weak against September. which broke bat month to lo57. loss of about 40 points from the best of the morning.
 Just before the close the bulls came to the support of values and succeeded in recovering about s points of the lost ground on Septem- Der. but the market was finally barely steady. net 9d2o points lower. this being very nearly tho lowest of the session. Sales were 25o, GOO bales estimated
 After the opening spurt and aside from the interval of weakness in the afternoon market trading was at no time particularly active, but sentiment continued very nervous and un- settled. Climatic conditions reported for the continued reports of boil weevil in Texas crop advices were fairly satisfactory. These fac tors naturally helped the bears after the in- itial advance. while there was also consid- erable profit taking either for the account of the clique or their following.

 NEW ORLEANS. July Io-Liverpool was en- coursging. consequently our market opened 5 points higher on July, 2 OH August, v on September and on the other months. Shortly after fresh buying caused an additional ad- vance of 3mI on the late options and values ruled steady thereafter until near the close when heavy selling on the expectation of a ia vorable Chronicle report superinduced reces- sion of points from the top on July. 22 on August, 35 on September and 2oG2 on the other positions making the closing unchanged July. point lower on August and IS lower on all other months The class of buy ing yesterday and today was not of the best character and after shorts covered there was an absence of supporting orders. Owing to the favorable weather prevalent throughout the belt and the official prediction of it's contlnu- ance. In addition to this the demand for spots in America is nominal, which can be readily accounted for by the relative cheapness of the article in Liverpool. It stands t0 reason that European spinners will not buy spots In American markets as longh as values are held higher by artificial means in this country than the raw article can be bought for in Liver pool Of as long as the clique can maintain the prices of near months there Is no justification in selling the late. Under the circumstances we still think well of buying only the Winter months on all marked declines and suggest taking profits spurts

IBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. July Io-Two points have been very clearly developed as a result of this weeks trading in cotton The first one is that the New Orleans faction has a complete and absolute control of the existing supply of cot ton in this country. They own the coton ap- pear to have money enough to pay for all that can be delivered them and are bent upon get ting as much money from the sale of this cot ton as can be obtained. The second point and the one that Is of more interest and impor- tance to the cotton industry Is the fact that so extensive has become the damage by boil weevil in the Southwest that the seasons pro- duction promises to be materially diminished. It loked very much though there had been a leak of some kind in the pool and that the whole thing might collapse. But later on the prices recovered sharply about | ls cent a pound in those options controlled by the New Or leans pool and suspicion developed that the selling movement undertaken as a blind in order to create a short interest and assist profits Since the stock of cotton in New York and New Orleans is controlled by two three any attempt to forecast price fluctuations from on until sufficient new cotton Is re- ceived to relieve the tension. It may be, of course, that In the end they will make the mis- take of overstaying the market and the whole corner end fin fiasco. but this doesn't alter the fact that consumefs fin the meantime will be compelled to pay whatever price they may seek to exact. Of course this condition is an unenvable one and very few of those inter ested In the best welfere of cotton look with sympathy upon the effort of a few individuals
 
 ingly unfortunate positions in which cotton consumers placed. Never in the entire his- tory of cotton speculation has the supply been controlled by one man and never before have prices in one week dropped cent and a half and recovered cent and a half a pound. The second fact interests every one It will be remembered that circular of last week stated that we would be locally disappointed if new crops did not break to a 9M-cent basis Both December and Janiary cotton sold below g. 50 during the week and at this point very haayv buyInR for inVeatmant account deVel- oped. The same was true of October under o% The stimulating factor the boil weevll news from Texas Last year the Government stated that several hundred thousand bales of cotton had been destroyed by this insect in the State of Texas alone. The situation this year is even worse and the pest promises to be the most serious that has ever confronted the cotton planters of America. We would re- spectfully call general attention to this ques- tion We cannot help feeling that such de- clines as have taken place this week cotton represents the most fertile field for speculation of anything in the entire list of securities ce- reals or staples.

 NEW ORLEANS. July otwithstanding the substantial advance scored in the English market today in both departments with final prices showing improvement of IS points early deliveries and 100 on the late and with spots quoted 8 up our market after making a fair response to the decidedly steadier tenor of the position abroad. proved later in the early session that the market was ripe for a clearing out of weak long interests and after the first hour of trading began to give way to selling oders which seemed to accumulate the prices lowered and reached volume of stop orders which accelerated the downward course. Rumors of all kinds were made use of hy those interested in bringing about lower prices. The decline also as- sisted by beer hammering in anticipation of a good Chronicle and bearish visible supply statement to be published this evening. New York wires spinners were willing to buy freely on a basis of 2 cents. but will certainly not enter the market on a resumption of former higher levels. This Is not important, however, as the only cotton for sale Is in New York and @ mere trife in the worlds commerce and would not furnish the spinner with five days supply under normal conditions. Again en- Quries continue to come from mills for cotton for immediate delivery. There was a scramble to cover September shorts at the opening this morning. the demand carrying this option to some 22 points over yesterdays closing. As soon as the demand was supplied. however. it proved to be the weakest month on the list while the late months showed the most stabil- ity. An active and speculative market can be expected to continue and at times with wide fluctuations
