 NEW ORLEANS. May 7-The cotton markets have drifted into a condition where even the most fastidious may not complain about an insufficiency of action. Opportunities are of- fered and withdrawn and the developments of the hour serve to keep traders constantly with one eye in each direction Liverpool con tinues to move in a dispassionate way, and this serene attitude is all the more remarkable when measured by events in America, and the compar ativey small stock of cotton available in the interior market. Unless foreign spin pers have provided themselves with actual cotton to the end of the season. 1t is evil dent that any effort to secure supplies later on will be attended with difficulty. Private cables today stated that Manchester was doing a healthy business, but reports from that quarter frequently conflict. It Is probable, however, that the rise in silver has furnished a better basis for transactions with China and India. Trading here was feverish. prices re- sumed the upward course. but the demand ap- peared chiefly for August and September de- livery. These options were lifted in an un- ceremonfous manner and submitted to wider fluctuations than remaining deliveries. The fact has been thus rudeIy impressed upon straddlers that in such peculiar season. where so much doubt exists to the world { supply being adequate. sales of cotton in one market cannot be conveniently liquidated by purchases in another. It so happened that the shorts who did not consider themselves so but the urgent necessity to cover presented it, self just the same. This Is situation full of mysteries and traders should be moro dis posed to anticipate the unexpected under such circumstances.

all srades Spot holdsrs are apparently mak- in contracts. IT f@ass
 Futures were active today with the advance of the last two days continued. Both the New York and Liverpool markets were foiiowers of New Orleans and Liverpool reluctantly al lowed c fairly wide advance in both spots and futures; these conditions had tho effect oi greatly strengthening the local market. Al the opening July was Q points and August 10 points higher. Prices then ascended with leaps and bounds May selling up to io.64. gain of IA points over yesterdays closing; June gained s points. July i2. August 8. Sep sember 20. october. November and Decembes 5 each. In spite of the high level of futures 1uctuatiors were wide and the advance would probably have been greater If profit taking had not been induiged in by the long side. The situation hinges. apparently on July and shorts themselves sent the market up in their ef- fort to cover. The short interests have re- ceived the defeat of the year In the July deal and as full settlement has not yet been reached. 1t is probable that the advance will continue for some days. The August position is also causing some worry and those who claim to know say that August contracts will cause the same hurry that July Is causing at present. From the highest figures of the day prices receded 6ds points on the active months. the boarf at the close showing net loss on May of points and net gain of points on June, on July. 26 on August. "a on September and points each on the other months.

Re- alzing about this time caused 6 recession of 46l points from the top old crop months and Id3 neY.

The movement continues free and the demand for spots Is practically nominal. The active ma nipulation going on here in the Summer po- stions though. has frightened shorts In the near months and made them cover heavily during the past four or five days. First the speculative short interest in July was forced to cover and then the same tactics today were employed to run out the August and Septem- Der shorts. We consider that the position Of our market Is dangerous. being the highest in the world and must again strongly advise our friends against having any interest on either side In the old crop months. We sug- | gest that all Siture transactions be made en. | tireiy in the crop options because they | will be regulated by weather conditions.

May Sells Up to 1o.so, Establishing Another New High Level-The

NEW YORK. May 7.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 36Io points and following the call displayed still further strength under firm Liverpool cables smaller receipts, the continued strength of New Or leans and renewed indications of an uncovered short interest in the near months. May opened at io,66 and sold up to Io,60 against io7 76. the closing price of yesterday, thus showing an advance of points and a new high level for the season. July reached 10. 6 and the general list at this time net 4d l3 roints higher. The new crop months again showed relative easiness as . result of the fa- vorabie weather and the better tone of private crop advices. The bull pool sold moderately at the higher levels of the morning. feeding out May carefully with the apparent intention of preventing any more serious s,ampedes of the nearby shorts. Under this Influence in connection with the favorable weather the g points higher to 3 points lower. Following this, however. the market was again rallied by buying based on the sensational develop ments in the August option at New Orleans. which sold up 8 points from yesterday s close. The interior movement was rather bull ish and this also helped the advance. which carried prices back to about the best of the day and the market at the close was very steady at net advance of 3@l6 points. that being within a point of the best on July and August. whil. May vas within pointe os the highest Total sales futures estimated at i5o. 900 bales.

NEW YORK. May 7.-The cotton market
 opened 3Gio points higher today. the near
 months being well supported. The weather
 conditions further improved in most sections.
 Rain was reported in most States and ter ritories and moisture being quite heavy at a
 number of points where most needed, especially in Mississippi. Furthermore. the indications pointed to still more rain and 1t is taken for granted that the situation may and will i'm prove decidedly from now on. although 1t Is feared that the amount of replanting will ex- ceed anything known for a number of years and the question arises how far 1t will be possible to make up for lost time, especially as
 seed Is scarce and labor none too plentiful

 NEW ORLEANS. May 7.-Iuly was rushed up to another level for the season today, selling high as 10 90. which Is gradually con- frming prediction for cents July cot ton. The high levels recorded and referred to scored without the influence of Liverpool. the improvement there being only what was expected of this obstinate market and little support was expected from this direction. and the South has profted by the past. aud real ize that they must fight the battle alone which they are well prepared to do. amply supplied with the proper ammunition while those op- posed to any improvement have been equipped with theories alone which is poor defense against the well fortified bulls with the strong spot situation in reserve to fall back on Of course, the crop months did not develop the same strength as the old. being more easily influenced by the weather reports. Some 0 points of the highest levels of the day on July were lost through the process of realizing during the early trading hours. but covering by shorts was again in order during the afternoon session. which restored the greater part of the loss. The market has now reached a stage where purchases on de clines and sales to secure profts on rallies have been in order all during the present week but still feel that on conservative invest ment purchases will be more profitable thar short sales when bulges occur.
