cothran 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

By c. w. Lee & Co.
 New Orleans, June 26.-The announce ment that early cables made this morn- ing recording a decline in the English market of points on the summer posi- tions and down on the fall months with spots quoted off 4 was not at first glance accepted as encouraging. At the same time 1t represented merely a partial re- sponse to the easier prices that were in order during the closing hours on this side yesterday, which movement at the time was forced by realizing by early buyers to secure profits in sight in pre- ference to waiting on what another day might bring forth The same sellers of the day before were the most prompt in accepting all offerings at the opening of the local market at an advance of to 10 points over yesterdays closing figures. As a consequence prices here were carried to the highest levels of yesterday.
 Tenders during the early trading hours amounted to some 20,00O bales and were promptly stopped as expected The cir culation of notices In the New York market were reported to be high as 90,000 bales. One of the leading bull operators of this market, visiting New York for a purpose. was quoted today as taking all July offered at IS cents. Another factor of stimulating influence was the prospect of a bullish visible system which the weeks movement offers every evidence of Advices from the cotton belt are daily multiplying, showing that the ma- jorlty of places are now bare of cotton and as some merchants put 1t the great est exhaustion ever known at this time of the year. The stock at this port which is more than one-half of the stocks at all ports, shows signs of dwindling away again, now being A, 4,497 bales against S7,S99 last year.
 Into sight for the week are 31, 900 against 1000 bales same week last year. The weekly figures of interior movement was equally as bullish in it's weekend state ment. However, at present the cotton market is sensitive and liable to wide fluctuations and at this stage conserva- tive trading Is advisable and buying on sharp declines seems to be the best course.

 Futures opened with a partial decline of points on lower cables and the issu- ance of July notices to the extent of about 6O.00O bags Nearby holders sold July to avoid receiving actual coffee, while the late months ruled firm, as result of purchases by the sellers of the near months. The near months were soon taken care of, however, and then the market as a whole turned very much firmer under outside buying and invest ment demand. with August showing es- pecial firmness. Toward the close the market was a little less firm. but was finally steady, net to 10 points higher. Sales 127150 bags. including June 3.70, July 3.75D3.s5 September 3.95@405, October 400 @410.

Quotations for good ordinary and higher grades advanced 5-16c In the future market the ring was much quiet CT than for several days and in spite of the fact that notices for about 100000 bales in New York and New Orleans together had been served, the bulls remained in complete control of the situation and at one time sent the new crop months up for wide advances. tI was estimated that notices for 25.000 bales had been served and promptly stopped in the local mar lSet, and notices for between 5000 and go- O00 bales in the New York market had been served on the New Orleans bull clique through Frank B. Hayne, who is in New York for the purpose of handling the notices at that point. all of which were promptly stopped.

Shortage of Cotton Seed.

The cotton seed oil mills in the Bir- mingham vicinity as well as throughout the South have no accumulation of cot- ton seed. and 1t Is reliably stated that there will be 8 hustle to get all the seed that will be needed. ..
 The two plants at East Birmingham are in operation, but have not all the seed they would like to have. One of the managers of the plants here. in speaking of conditions as to seed, said: T cannot say whether the farmers are holding the seed back or are out of them. I do know that hand to mouth condition pre- vails.
