Baxter 6 co.'c Cotton Letter.

New York, June D.-Liverpool cables this morning showed an advance of to 14 points before we opened. Our market opened strong and higher. Stocks of all kinds lost 18.0oo bales during the week. the figures being 575,0O0, against 90S0O0 last year. With no old cotton to be had and incidations of no new cotton com ing in until very late. and such big diff ference in the supply compared with last year, 1t was not surprising that the trade should get excited.
 The weather today was fair and favor able for the growing crop. The Chronicle report was a good deal more bullish than bearish.
 The forecast was for showers in most sections and cooler in most of the gulf states.
 Our market opened 1 to points higher. Yesterdays. sellers were buying back. Less talk Is now heard about the weather or the crop with the exception of the boil weevil, and this Is causing most con- cern. Prices advanced as much as to 10 points during the morning but there was not much doing. Sellers kept aloof. fear ing a lower temperature over Sunday. The worlds visible supply of all kinds lost 375,Ooo during the week. Next week the "in sight movement is expected to reach s7,OO0 against N000 last year.

both the New York and New Orleans markets as regards the old crop condi- tions. Trading this morning proved very active. though the response to the big advance in Liverpool was feeble. A great many stood ready to sell cotton on an upturn, and this fact no doubt account- ed for the small Initial advance.

cothran & co.'s Cotton Letter.

By c. w. Lee & Co.
 New York, June 20.-A reaction such as took place shortly before the close last night, and. at the opening this morning was due. The price has declined some thing like 60 points without turn. That the market should rally sharply at some point was inevitable. Those who bought cotton on the sharp break yesterday sold this morning at good profit. There Is a general feeling in the best informed cir cies that as the market was a purchase below 9%c 1t is quite likely to be safe sale around 10c for a break at least. This, of course. is based upon the belief that present favorable weather conditions will be maintained While the weather map today was all that could be desired, pri- yate wire houses with western .connec- tions reported some trouble with tele- graphic communication between New York and Chicago. There seems to be storm west, which of course may disturb conditions in the south, but in the event of another sharp upturn on Monday. we would rather risk the selling side for turn. .ss
 The outcome of July and August Is still uncertain since the New Orleans peo- pie appear to have q very firm hold on

In the local market scalpers and room traders were the only participants At the opening prices were 1 to points higher than yesterday, but almost immediately commenced to ease off on the winter months.

Gold From Silver City.

Yesterday the Armstrong brothers
of Silver City arrived in this city to
pay a visit to the Mint, where they
deposited a bar of bullion, the result
of the past few months mining in the
Silver City district. The brothers make
regular visits to this city with the gold
bars and while they claim that they
are not getting rich, yet the mine is
more than paying it's way, as the boys
manage to keep up both ends and the
mine is yet their own.
Silver City is one of the best poor
mans prospecting grounds in the State
as the values are nearly all gold, and
most of the mines are of the pocket
variety, which, when one strikes it,
results II bunch of bullion. Silver
has produced many millions that have
never been credited to her, as the boys
who make the strike generally slip
out of town on the quiet and sell the
yellow metal without advertising the
fact to the world. Silver City is a
steady producer and many small mines
are worked that more than make a
living for the lucky owners.
