NEW ORLEANS. May 2s.-Liverpool was better than expected and our market in sym pathy opened 2Qs points higher on old crop months and 390 on new. Fresh buying in anticipation of an unfavorable weekly weather report being issued tomorrow occasioned an additional advance of 20 points on the near positions and io6i6 on the late. Realizing near the close superinduced a decline of 4@6 from the top.' making the net gain 2t@24 points on old crop options and lo9I7 on the late.

Manchester ca- bles. though say that the aggregate of the business done in cloths last week poor. the fluctuations in the price of cotton impeding sellers The business for China and India was insignificant owing to low prices offered for the larger orders.

 NEW ORLEANS, May 2S.-opening prices in the Ehglish market this morning were sl the start accepted as disappointing. the improve ment scored at the time not meeting general expectations, but the final closing there. how ever. fully answered the requirements of the hopeful longs, with prices advanced on the day 60 Q points and to this encouraging show
 ing there at the end of the day can be attrib-
 uted the sudden change for the better in the local market from the first easier prices. New York adyanceF today report that appeared as
 # prominent brokerage firm there, previously
 identified with the short side. had now joined
 the bull forces and whose actions possibly as-
 sisted in the rapid recovery during the early
 tfadihg hours There was also reported .
 slight increase in the aggregate demand for
 textile goods, but the tone is not sensihly
 the absence of pressure to sell. while the course of the cotton market continues to evI- dence considerable irregularity at times. still
 the undertone continues very steady fin the
 face of conditions, which would have under ordinary circumstances acted a depressing
 feature. such as more favorable weather con-
 ditions (excepting in Oklahoma and Indian Terrstory). where severe rain storms have re-
 the ports and bearish weekend statements. Nevertheless the trend of speculation has been on such nervous lines that outside influences that should have some bearing upon the cot ment lost sight of and the market will possibly continue to be swayedp until something more definite can be learned of the legitimate situa- tion and this can easily be arrived at as the season progresses. During the afternoon ses- sion buying orders were numerous and in con- sequence a noticeable rally was in order. July here selling at 40. the top notch figure so far. August and September advancing in the same proportion. while the late positions he's itated. The fact that receipts are running heavier than last year is accounted for in the
 stands in the way of any further decided Ss- provement in spot prices. w

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. May 2s.-fn the spot cot. ton market there was a good inquiry for the staple by buyers for the continent, which gave bit of life to the movement. Sales. 4, ,56c bales. including 460 to arrive. Quotations ad. vanced 4 on all grades.
 Futures opened 3@o points higher Prices however, were irregular and made sharp and wide advances and recessions. Advances a, one time were. from IS to 26 points above the closing of Saturday. Longs said that the advance in the market this morning was per fectiy natural and that it was not due fo manipulation. Reports from inc country were decidedly unfavorable. telling of violent rain and wind storms. which did great injury tc the plant in some sections. Cables from Liver pool were favorable. New York on the advance apparently. making much of the news both from across the water and from the belt The list at the close showed net gains 24.

 NEW YORK, May 25.-Tt looked today very much as though there could be no decline in the stock market brought about by the advance in cotton Under ordinary circumstances-that is. with Wall Street interests long cf the cot ton market--such c decline in the stock mar ket which took place today should have been attended with stock liquidations. July ad- vanced to tl.3o and October to e.66. It is not a pleasant market to be in on either side of the account as there is every reason to be- lieve we may see another slump such as took place on Friday at any time The stock of cotton in this city has increased from 7e, 900 bales to early part month to l63. 900 bales and this Is owned by the Philadelphia people. who are said to be short of July. The con- ditions indicate one of two things, either that the New Orleans market is strong enough to take this spot cotton and finance the deal or that they will take advantage of the high prices and get out. It does not seem as though the Philadelphia people were interested in the advancing of the market further. For, this reason and in view of the extremely unsettled condition October has now advanced to a point where purchases are hard to be recommended and we most certainly would walt for another slump before going aboard long cotton.

NEW YORK May 26.-Cotton was weak for the old crop to the extent of 294 points and that much higher for the new crop when the market opened today. Bears had it that the bull leader had left for the South, but this makes impression on the public in general,
