NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 9-The cotton
market started with roar like that
frequently heard during the late Sully
campaign. Shorts fought for a chance
to buy July and sent the price whirl-
ing to 1913 on the call Commission
houses were also well supplied with
buying orders in July and later options.
August shot up 13 points and Septem-
Der points at the beginning. Some
traders took profits on cotton bought
yesterday. bat there were plenty of pur-
chasers and quotations held for some
time after the call. Then July fell 10
11-90 and August 10 11.24 Other posi-
lions maintained their strength on fresh
buying orders on the firmness of cables,
which were particularly buIlish on late
months. but were considered rather dis
appointing on near deliveries
The local pit was very excited, having
been unprepared for such a move and
mostly all sport. July later declined to

nervousness Of operators. Advices from
New Orleans stated that the market in

the trading element in the market itself,

that there is not the same money to
