MARKETS FOR FUTURES
RULING FIRM THOUGH NOT VERY ACTIVE.
After Call it Develops That Brokers Close to New Orleans Contin- gent Have Supporting Or
 ders for New Months.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of points to q decline of point and after little irregularity during which prices showed rather a saRging tendency ruled generally Arm, though not es- peciAily active. .l usually supposed to operate either for the New Orleans bull contingent or for interests closely associated with this party, had liberal sup porting orders for the new crop months in- ciuding Ocober and December at around last nights finals, and this. in connection with the firm cables, soon started e covering move ment which lasted during almost the entire session. Later the weather. which had at first been considered favorable on account of the rains in the sections mentioned by the weekly weather bureau report of Tuesday as in need Of moisture. also became c source of appre- hension, owing to the numerous telegrams re- ceived here from the South that the wet weather would delay maturity. promote the growth of grass and revive apprehenslons as to the boil weevil.
 Wall Street was a good buyer. presumably for coevring shorts. and toward the close demand developed for August, which was also supposed to be for short covering, and that option displayed hrmness a surprisingly few
 transactions. Opening at il.e7. it was bid up bid. a net advance of 40 points. July was neg
 lected. selling four five times between 2 90 and 3. closing at l3 bid, a net gain of 25
 points.
 The new crop displayed an upward tendency
 during the entire morning and in the last hour
 reached the highest point of the session with
 net advance of l5@24 points,
 Just before the close there was a little real
 izing, however, and while the market was
 finally steady the new crop slightly off
 from the best, being net o622 points higher.
 Sales were estimated at 100, 900 bales.

NEW ORLEANS, July 2e.-Notwithstanding Liverpool prices were better than expected; our market opened 10 points higher on July, 1 on August and declined 266 the new crop months. Realizing shortly after caused an ad- ditional decline of l point. Later in the ses- sion. though, reports of damaging rains in Texas were instrumental in establishing an advance of 22 from the bottom on September and 6 on the other months. When shorts cov- cred values again eased of 364 from the top
 making the net gain o points on July, on August. 2 on September and about g on the other positions. Cables from Liverpool stated the improvement there due to a better feeling in Manchester. and the continuance Of export demand. causing nervousness in con- sequence of the small stock in Liverpool. The exaggerated reports of damaging rains in Texas. while successful in occasioning an ad- vance today. were really beneficial and fell where needed. Still while reliable advices are to the effect that the crop is in a generally fa- voTable condition. 1t is fact nevertheless the rumor of setback fancied real. is suf- flcient to start buying wave, as sentiment continues very optimistic. With this feeling prevalent and the large discount existing in the late months, believe they are a pur- chase on all decided breaks for a quick turn.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. July 29.-After opening weak wheat experienced a sharp recovery and the close was strong with September Ih@I%c higher. September corn was up kc, oats were Q45c.
 l., Improved weather and the heavy selling of yesterday caused kness tn wheat ut the start and the early depression was consid- erably augmented by the severe break in corn prices. September opened with loss of h @S@ss at 77h@77A0771z and theer was very little wanted at the decline Prices held fairly steady during the first hour at the lower range, but later a better demand developed induced by builish news from the Northwest where reports from Manitoba showed greatly reduced crops in that section. Shorts cov- cred freely and some prominent longs rein stated lines which they had sold out yester- day, which resulted in the market taking a sharp uptIrn September selling up to 79L On the advance offerings became scarce and prices were well maintained throughout the remainder of the session, September closing at 7ea, a net gain of lAGls Clearances equalled 200 900 bushels.

For the market was baalggsiaaoaralized, but later a good demand develeped soIurr ports from sec tions of the belt to the effect that only light showers had fallen and that much more rain was needed. Local longs bought freely and there was also 9 good demand from shorts. which turned a weak market into one of de- cided strength. and all of the early loss was regained.

 Oats acted largely in sympathy with corn, opening weak. but showing a good rally later, with local longs, who had sold out their lines. replacing them on the break. Trading was only moderately active and the market ex- hibted no special features. The close was firm with September A higher at 33% after ranging between 33 and s3%q34. Receipts, I63 cars

tBy Private Wire From c. w Lee & Col NEW YORK. July 2e.-A canvass of the pit shows that few operators look for anything under 30 on the next report. That is to say, the present crop has improved for the last two months when practically other crops of the last four years shave gone back. Those fa- miliar with the growth of cotton would rather take their chance on a crop that starts poor and ends good than on a crop that has a per- feet start and steadily deteriorating and the surprising thing about all this Is the prices actually advance instead of working lower We had rather expected that December and January might work towards 9A cents and would not have been at all surprised at that event But Instead of that 9S seems to be
 every time they get towards 60 they work
 back. If prices fail to decline under steady
 improving crop prospects hesitate to say
 what they will do when reports begin to show
 the effects of inevitable hot weather and lower
 ing conditions during the month of August
 The outlook is SO favorable for bulls specula-
 tion in the Winter positions that cannot
 advise purchases on decline too strongly. We
 have seen nothing in immediate outlook to
 cause an advance during the month of July.
 And yet prices are higher now than they were
 couple of weeks ago. We do look for
 decided advance in the level during the next
 three or four weeks. It may amount to
 S0-pont, it may amount to a 6o-point advance
 and may have a market that has not been
 seen for many years If anything happens to
 this crop 2 cents will be a very small price
 for the spinners to pay for cotton. Buy cot
 ton declines.

 NEW YORK. July 2e-There was steady openng to the market for cotton futures to. 1 day, the first level of prices being point lower to points higher The weather reports were quite favorable and consequently there seemed to be quite a lot of stuff for sale the result being easier tendency to the market However, good supporting orders made their appearance and firmer tone developed suhse. quently. the market simultaneously becoming quite active. Shorts evinced some uncertainty and covered quite freely, especially in the Summer mosnhs. Operators supposed to be al lied with clique interests were good buyers of the october option. though quite a lot of August cotton was taken for the account of outsiders. The Liverpool crowd seemed quite firm. the cables being strong and the foreign element being a buyer generally. The private cables told of a bette- market at Manchester with an improved demand for the spot stuff The movement of cotton today Was moderate. The indications continued to point to bullish statistics for the week. and naturally the shorts were rather nervous. IL is figured that the bulk of the buying today was for the ac- count of the bear interest and late in the ses- sion there were reports to the effect that the bull interest in New Orleans still curc in It's position. Outside longs were inclined to sell on the better levels but the bulk Of the stun coming out on this account was quite

 NEW ORLEANS, July 2e.-A rather favor able Liverpool with liberal spot sales was at- tributed by cables received to the improve ment In Manchester and better demand for manufactured goods at higher prices and that the continued requirements for export was not without a stimulating effect in consequence of small stocks The tenor of the English mar ket, however. was not sufficient to offset the pearish sentiment on. this side and the opening here was shade under yesterdays closing fkdeesg The big bulls were aggressive bidders for July and August and in addition rendered support to. the September option Beneficial tains were reported from numerous points throughout the belt and at first had rather depressing effect which was later offset by private reports of damage by heavy rains and the boil weevil in Texas a steady tone main tained throughout the remainder of the ses- sion. Considerable selling has been induIged in and quite a short interest accumulated on the belief that the Government crop report, due Aug. 3rd. next, will show a condition equal to last year, the market therefore Is technically in a condition to advance rapidly should the crop meet with diversity. It is claimed that any excess of moisture will even tually delay maturity and increase complaint of the boil weevel Weather conditions, there fore. will be the dominating influence. We continue to think the long side much the safest and prefer purchases on depressions rather than sales on bulges even though July and August with the stimulating effect of the huge discounts will shortly pass from view

NEW YORK July 29-It was not at all sur prising that Liverpool should have taken a bulish view of yesterdays bureau report. Ap- parently she is bearing in mind. is the case here. that tho season Is far advanced. and that the chances for making big crop by no means as good near the lst of August as sixty days earlier. Every day to favor August bureau report will show much improve ment over last year. Last August the condi~ tion was reported at about 92. and the crop is this late nothing short of a con dition of 92 would warrant taking a bearish view of the outlook. Even then. it Is a ques- tion if this would be justified since the pres ent crop is going to fall below .ooo. 900 bales by a hundred thousand bales at least. The opening dull and unchanged to 10 points higher for August. Weather reports were good Some sections reported rain to moderate extent. The market most of the fore noon was dull and narrow with chief doings in September and October, but towards noon prices rose on big rains in Texas and trading was active

NEW ORLEANS. July 2s-Spot cotton firm and unchanged. Sales, 700 bales; delivered on contract 400; quotations unchanged
 The future market opened with the bul, iorces lined up for active work Some heavy bidding was done for July, August and Sen temoer deliveries. The demand apparently came from satisfied weak longs who were wiliins that the stronger bulls should take their load. Although the bidding for Sem temoer was brisk and for heavy amounts the price was forced only slightly above the clos Ing or yesterday. This due to the heavy onerings in this option which came from room traders and the Wall Street clique. Room traders were supposed to be selling on favor able weather conditions. The bulk of the trading was in September. Both bids and of ters were free, but buyers and sellers were well apart in their views. It quite evil dent that the war between the New Orleans bull clique and the Wall Street bear pool over the September option is still being waged At the close the list showed net gains of o points on July.

Roosevelt Refuses to Allow Marine
 to Better Himself,

New York, July 2s.-President Roose- welt has refused to grant the request of Corporal John P. Carney of the marine corps, to leave the government service, where he receives $l3.0O a month in order that he might accept a position as keeper in Raymond street jail at a salary of $1 200 year.
 Before enlisting Carney took the civil service examination. Hearing nothing from the examiners he concluded that he had failed to secure the coveted posi- ton so he enlisted to serve four years In few days he was notified that hu stood fourth in the lists, but owing to his being a Spanish war veteran he had been placed at tthe top and the $1, 200 po- sltion was his.
 His appeal for permission to resign from the Federal service finally reached the President but met with refusal on the grounds that it might form a dangerous precedent.
