New orl.ans Cotton Marke.

New Orleans, May 11--In the spot mar ket buyers were hustling about in the early hours and the demand appeared 10 be strong for tenderable qualities on con tracts. Offerings were limited and factors held to the very highest prices. What trading was done was at an advance. Sales 2450 bales, including 300 to arrive. Quotations advanced S-16 on all grades.
 This mornings session in the cotton market for Monday morning was one of the widest and most surprising in the memory of the oldest trader. At the open ing or within five minutes after the open ing gong prices of May, July, August and September had advanced from 20 to g points above the closing of Saturday, thus completely casting In the shade the unusually sensational advances of last week.
 The ring was a scene of wild confusion. Shorts were trying to get what they could hardly buy at any price and the ad- vance would probably have carried prices to an unsafe and panicky level if prom inent longs had not stepped to the ring and thrown contracts for hundreds of bales onto the market. Longs received much commendation for their action this morning. If they had refused to sell and had allowed the fright of the shorts to in- crease there is no telling what would have developed, and some traders claimed that several firms might have been forced to the wall As 1t was, the selling by the long side had the immediate effect of quieting the market and bringing prices down to a level of from five to ten points above the closing of Saturday. The list at the close showed net advances of on May 21, June 26, July 22, August 23 and 15 to 17 points on the new crop positions. New Orleans, May 11.-Cotton futures steady.

cothran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
By c. W..Lee & Co.

 New York, May Tiff it were not for the position of cotton itself we would be inclined to regard today's sensational advance as the probable continuation of an upward movement. After a period of rather sensational advances, the market usually ends with Just such scene as took place on the floor this morning. That ie when August jumped from 20 points or more and then slid off about 15. But with New Orleans in a state of demoralization and spot cotton there at Il cents a pound and July at about 12 cents a pound, with Liverpool about as demoralized as New Orleans and the trade unable to satisfy themselves as to what the next change of the wheel will bring forth, 1t is utterly impossible to see the events in cotton circles. The fea- ture today was the rather heavy selling of Philadelphia interests particularly in August. That Is to be satisfied with that interest sold reams of August from 10.20 to 10.05 It will be remembered that this house took some 30,000 bales of May cot ton delivered on contracts early in the month. The selling today Is doubtless in the nature of hedge against the spot takings. Of course the market was a wild one from start to finish, with the running in of shorts as was to be expected under the circumstances It is simply fool hardy to buy short cotton at the present time though there is prevailing impress sion that MT. Sully is gradually getting out of his May cotton. We trust he is, and that we will not be compelled to go through squeeze of more extended dura- tion, as a corner at this time will dis turb all the markets to a greater extent than at present.
 We still believe in letting the summer months alone. and buying october cotton on every opportunity, afforded by re- cession In price.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York May u.-Cotton opened very much excited and higher this morning. There was more or less rain all over the south and the forecast was for still more, but this attracted next to no notice. The fact was that bears were putting the market up without much activity on the part of bull leaders. Shorts were some what frantic in their efforts to cover at the opening and some bulls were prepared to take profits quite promptly on the early bulge. This led to a temporary. set- back of 6 to points right after the open Ing. Nevertheless, the air was full Of bull talk and 1t looked as If the shorts were yet to be closely pressed. Improve ment in the crop outlook was not heard to the extent expected after the big rains, and until this occurs nothing, ap- parently. stands in the way of a further bulge, unless it be eagerness to take profits, which may temporarily depress the market. Unless tomorrow's govern ment report on the weather Is bearish, bulls will undoubtedly be quite demon- strative. Cables were feverish at the close, with prices 1 to 12 points higher. Port receipts 5000 bales against 5000 last year.

LOCAL MARKETS.

Although spot cotton was very fever ish in all the leading markets, and es- pecially at New Orleans, where it went up to 12c, there was so little spot in the local district that 1t was hard to make a safe estimate of the outcome of the days business. However at the close the prices were about on par with those of last Saturday. There was prao- tically no cotton offered for sale here yesterday If it had been put on the market pretty stiff price would have been asked in view of the conditions elsewhere Local cotton men are sitting back and watching the excitement in the leading centers with a great deal of in- terest, but are not actively concerned, unless 1t be in the matter of fstHres.
 Yesterday was fairly quiet in the local stocks and bonds market. Prices on all securities and industrials were very steady with one exception. Alabama state bonds, funded As. are quoted at no bid and III asked. slight increase in the offered price. The Birmingham Wall streeters were undisturbed by any seE- sational developments and tbe usual rAi of business was in order
 Shipping was lively along Morris ave- nue yesterday. Much truck of all kinds was coming in and was finding a good sale Conditions in the market are very favorable just now for profitable busi- ness. The waiting period of few weeks ago has passed and dealers are now sup plying all orders without any difficulty.
 A feature of the market is the very heavy sale of strawberries. The fruit has been abundant for a week or two and has been greatly in demand. Ap- ples continue scarce, but bananas were arriving yesterday in quantities Oranges are about normal as concerns both the supply on hand and sales.
 Early spring vegetables were abundant along the avenue, All the stun Is fin
