 NEW YORK. Juno Io.-yesterday's weekly weather report on cotton attracted general at teution throughout the country and brought about further short covering in the new crop options at opening this morning. While the trade of Monday and Tuesday was charac- terized by rather indifferent mode of opera tors on the crop position if not by an actual bearish feeling and resulting short selling. the tendency before. the close last night and dur ing tine early dealings this morning represented a decided change of attitude the present majority. That is, a great many who have been short of the new crop positions at much lower level of prices concluded that they had better terminate their obligations and wait for more seasonable opportunity to try again. This covering carried January to 9.To and brought about new high record for nearly all new crop positions. But on the advance there what we consider about the best short selling that we have seen in the market this season. That Is. several of the larger traders who were most aggressiyely buliish on October cotton at BE- cents and who have not been interested in that option since 1t crossed oh cents, were rather active sellers above 9% cents this morning. Notwithstand- ing the position of the new crop options this Is of course. a rather ptecarious undertaking. but 1t shows that the best sentiment is adverse to the buying of new crop months at any such level as that prevailing today.

A. 3. Baxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 tBy Private Wire.l

NEW YORK. June Io.-Cotton opened la5 points higher in most instances. Some hesita- tion was displayed in the Liverpool market and unsettled confidence in a measure ip the old crop months. Private cables were rather bearish The undertone however, was bull ish The fact Is there Is no old cotton left except in small scattering amounts and everv- thing has put the new crop so far behind Its that 1t is difficult to see where supplies are to be here to meet mill requirements. It is figured that cotton cannot come on the market to any consaderab aextent before October lst. Meanwhile just where prices may go is a question. Decided bullishness prevails as to the new crop months and the best people in trade seem to think that we will be nearer a famine until new cotton comes in than ever before and tha: 1t will require some time after it has begun to be marketed before concluding that enough will come in for the new season to restore confidence the question adequate supply ahead August made a higher jump during the morning and the other months also hardened. There was fear of too much grass hurting the crop Cables were unsettled at 41I advance.

NEW ORLEANS. June lo.-Notwithstand- ing early Liverpool advices were not encour aging. our market opened l@l2 points higher on old crop months and lG4 points upon the new The subsequent improvement in Liver pool however. superinduced an additional ad- vance of only 59S points on tho near posi- options IeGII7 Later In the session realizing was instrumental in establishing a quick de- cline of I5G22 from the top making the net loss l9 points on June and July and 2 points on August. whereas September showed a gain of points and the other new crop months advanced ld2 points Sentiment continues very bullish and it is claimed while recessions are to be expected from time to time still the tendency will be upwards Consequently under such circumstances for quick turns ctded breaks will probably prove profitable. Nevertheless with the existing high values we think trading should be on conservative lines because while everything for the moment seems to favor further rise in prices the un- expected might happen.
