NEW ORLEANS. May 6.-Liverpool ndvices were not encouraging, but our market never theiess opened 3G9 points higher on old crop months and declined lG2 on new owing to good rains in Texas and the other Gulf States. Shortly after, though an additional advance or covering with scarcity of sellers which su- perinduced sympathetic advance of 2d5 points on the late Realizing subsequently, uc- casioned slight recession. This, ho wever, was only temporary on the old crop positions. because fresh buying near the close again caused firmness, making the net gain l4@2i points on the Summer positions, whereas tho

Secretary Hester makes the amount delivered out of Texas dur ing April o6. 900, against Io9. 900 last year. and tho total delivered on that State from Sep. lst to Aplil 30. inclusive, this year. was 27ie ooo. against 2.sso, 900 last year; consequently, if there Is no more cotton left thls year points to 2.sso, 900. but if there Is as much as year before last 1t Indicates op of 3, 5. 900.

Manipulation in the Summer months Is very active and will remain until all the speculative short interest is eliminated from the market.

 NEW ORLEANS May 6.-The ostensible complacepcy of Liverpool in tho face of cur rent developments in American markets is one of the remarkable features of the cotton sit- uation. The absolute reluctance of the English market to follow the rising tendency of prices on this side Indicates one of the two things. Either there Is more cotton available abroad than spinners require. or foreigners have un- limited confidence in the size of the crop, proving decidedly in excess of the worlds needs. little time will furnish more light ns the subject, but the clearer facts are pi ie- sented: the more forcibie the effect will be. Local bulls again had an amusing time putting up without encountering the sembiahce of seri- ous opposition. July contracts were elevated to O.92 per hundred and held steady within few points of this figure, thus indicating some stability in connection with the improve ment It Is evident that speculative transac- ttcus in old crop. deliveries are fraught with great danger and the advisability Of avoiding such deals should be patent to any careful ob- server. Activity In new crop options is in- creasing. It Is true that the level of price Is inclined to attract more friends to the short side. but the huge discounts and the fact that the crop outlook is far from being satis- factory. by no means gives assurance that the seller is to have everything his way, so transactions may be effected on Fall deliveries with O greater feeling of safety

 NEW ORLEANS. May 6.-July hore made another record breaker today. selling at s2, at the top notch figures there were brief cessions under the influence of realizing, but the course was upward during the early trad ing hours. The further rally In the market was encouraged by buying on the part of cer- tain large interests here which are impressed bv the existing strong statistical position and the decreased amount of old cotton which seemed to be marketed before the new cop supplies be counted on Estimates are being made putting the probable visible sur plus, when tho present cotton seaeon ends. at less than 400, 900 bales against 776 900 bales at ihe close oS the season last year. much of the strength and activity that has developed in cotton prices this week is ascrbed tO the fact that the recent practically unanimous bearishness of the trade had resulted in an oversold condition and a susceptibility to ma nipulation by bull interests. During the demon stration little attention was pnid to the tenn porary movement of cotton. the unfavorable crop conditions absorbing all attention. Liver pool again failed to respond in full to the ad vance on this side and do not seem disposed to follow the upward course However spot holders are still masters of the situation and are in a position to dictate higher prices in the long run and Southern spot markets con- tinue to rule firm at advancing prices fn con sequence we still favor buying for still higher prices and the investor whose hold ngs are amply protected need. think kive himself no concern about the T-to-day huc- tuations LoNGSHoRE & co.

 NEW YORK. May 6.-May cotton sold at ioAc today without very much short covering and 1t now looks as though Mir Suily and his associates we're getting ready to put on the screws. There is weli-deined lunor around the floor that must have some foundation; in fact, well known Wall Street firm Is short a big line of May cotton. If this s true it means that settlement will be made as this amount of cotton can never be covered fir the open market. but until this settlement takes place scattered shorts will come In from day to day and the price Is not likely to iun back ,ery much With July in New Orleans higher than May here it does not look as though very much cotton would come to New York after the May affair Is over. It will be noticed, however, that after each advance October falls to reach as low level as quoted on the previous decline. We take this to indicate the course of that option and feel that pur- chases should be made on such recessions.

 SAVANNAH May 6.--The naval stores mar ket closed firm the past week at 43o, with the outlook more encouraging so far as nam taining the plice around Its D esent level Is concerned For a time 1t looked like bottom was some way off as the laily tone was weak and growing weaker but the check to the de- clineS came when exporters showed wlllhg- ness to enter this market for their wants
 During the week there was considerable ex- citement in O way among producers throughout the turpentine country, and partichlariy m Flcrida, where the question of chipping to the closed or the open market was the point 10 be decided. Savannah Is the open market. and all stun changes hands on the basis Of the are "elosed ma. kets, and transactions m them, no matter what the price. goes Tor naught far as changing the official prices is concerned The interest the trade are talk ing in the matter was shown by the voluml- nous correspondence which came to factors here during the wek Producers were asking for advance as to the best course to pursue to check the declines. They could have sold gallon. so that with 45c the market and the outlook for further decline 1t was natural for them to become exercised.
 Rosins have continued firm. though at steady declines until Friday. when this branch or the market, too, seemed to be bedded upon solid rock. The demand is satisfactory and trans actions upon scale that about takes up the offerings. In turrentine the offerings on Mon day were completely wiped up. and the demand indicating further absorption.
 large per cent of the exports continue to go out through Savannah. They are in some cases received at Florida ports, and then re sissippi shippers of naval stores are interested In the preesnt state of affairs, Tor they are getting Savannah prices and 1T the action of producers in shipping to the closed may kets Is depressing prices here they are ar fected to that extent
