 z -scfsw ORLEANS. July i.--The opening of Liverpool market this morning more than an swered the expectations of those favorably in- clined towards cotton. The final closing there was equally as satisfactory, with the advance on deliveries oli2 points over yesterday g course of the English market accepted as a full response to the rise on this side yester- day at the opening of local market Septem- Der options appeared to have the call and led in the advance during the later trading hours Our advices from North Texas and Indian Territory today report growth of cotton retard- ed by recent excessive rains and cool nights Charlotte reports good demand for spots and cotton not available this side of Texas. After the full advance of the early mornilng, selling became general. possibly caused by realizing by those who bought at the start under which movement prices receded and not only lost the fsst Improvement, but again sold at last nights close. Our New York advices today re- port that knit goods manufacturers of New York State held a meeting last night and de- cided on a higher scale of prices for fleece knit goods It was learned that New York was a heavy seller of Winter months which assisted in the first depression and influenced the easier prices that were in order. The main question of the moment is whether buy CTS will continue their speculative holdings at present prices take profits and walt for a decline to re-ehtAr the market. However the present statistical position tustifes pur- chases for substantial profits on any material decline. as appears as if this course must advance from present basis for new crop and will require f2,ooo, ooo-bale crop to bring about lower range than far seen this sea son. It was also learned later that promi nent brokerage firm in New York sold l5 0OC October and December, reported to be for Wal Street pool, which movement was responsible for the depression there and which weakness was reflected in the local market.

Virgin q Faunce's Cotton Letter. TBy Private Leased Wire

NEW YORK, July I.-The cotton market displayed considerable nervousness today First prices showed an advance of i6io points. the old crop months show the greatest gains This showing was singular in view of the weak relation held by these deliveries in Tuesday market. The tendency toward renewed bullish domination In the old crop options led to the expression of fear by tmid shorts and there was quite a lot of buying this score. Ma tu-ally the market rallied all along the line despite the relatively unsatisfactory cables from the English market The crop news was quite bearish in that general improvement was noted throughout the belt. The weather in- formation was more satisfactory to the farm element, and some of the interior houses were good sellers. On the other hand. however. New Orleans bought September and October cotton on free scale and this business served to strengthen the position of the longs. Euro- pean interests also moderate buyers There was a demand for spot cotton from the South. the private messages being to the eff feet that the supply of actual cotton in the South was almost completely exhausted There was some fear that the July Government crop report which will be issued Friday will be buliish and not a few people bought the mar ket on such suppositions. The movement of cotton was moderate with New Orleans as usual showing the bulk of the port receipts. Some cotton was taken for export and the ciearances were put at about 400 bales. At the close there was much uncertainty still in evidence on both sides of the account.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. July i.-spot cotton re- mains quiet. but firm: sales. 25o bales. Quo tations unchanged.
 The future market opened with bullish senti- ment much In evidence. Liverpool made fairly wide advances in both spots and futures and the weather and forecast contained enough rain and cool weather to be cosidered dcidedly bull fish. Added to these two factors was the com ing bureau report for June The bears innate the percentages at 80. The bulls say they will not be surprised if the percentage is much lower than has been generally expected. Today was receiving day and contrary to the reports spread by the bears that the long bull clique was unable to finance it's 1uly deal ar engagements were made to pay the money for the 95. 900 bales rendered notice day Early in the morning 1t was estimated that about 5000 bales had been received by the local longs This ready receiving of the cot ton rendered also had the effect of strengthen ing the market. The opening prices were 5 points up July. August 3. September and points each on the other new crop positions. Later in the day the Winter months gained 517 points additional but eased off before the close the list showing net gains of points on September and each the other Winter months, while the Summer positions were at about last evenings figures.

fBy Private Wire From c. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. July 1.-The Journal of Com merce figures published yesterday and show fug practically change in conditions during the month have had considerable influence on sentiment While that authority expressly states its belief fin the fact that correspond ents have allowed too much weight to the late season and the sRlaIlness of the plant none the less 1t is now feared that the Gov ernment report may be based on the same dis tortcd view of correspondence. We say dis tprfed because there Is absolutely nothing in the present condition of cotton as reported by reliable authorities that could compare with the condition of month ago. As we have aai6 all along there Is nothing in the present condition to arouse any enthusiasm. The con- dition Is not good. But when correspondents say there is no betteFment after these weeks Of fairly favorable conditions. the conserva- tive element will be asked to differ. It is en- titely upon the outlook of the new crop that options fin the market must be based. If the crop is not doing well and is not better than it was month ago why there many sons for buying. But cannot help feeling that no great advantage is to be derived from the purchase of cotton at the moment. New crop months range between sk and 10 cents on break below and there purchases seem to Involve little risk and return good profits. But we would not buy except on substantial de- eiines and would then sell on advances Prices or rather quotations on July August and Sep teuab~r are marked up down at pleasure of pool Those options correspond to a stacked pack of cards. They are to be avoided.

 NEW YORK. July I-cotton opened at an advance of ioIl4 points on small transac- tions. Cables were better and weather was quite good In the matter of Temperatures, sufficient prospects of rain and rain was re- ported at only few points. On the whole weather appears to be about right the past few days, but it is still feared that nights are rather too cool The trade Is attaching no little attention to Tho Journal of Commerce report of yesterday and are now turning their attention to the Government report to be is- sued on Friday These two authorities in past years have not differed essentially in their forecasts and unless the Government figures this year are over 80 general condition will be 50, prices are not only expected to hold. but a higher market Is looked for. Sellers of the new crop months are growing scarcer every day and the old crop positions steadily losing in attroctiveness: Old cotton is fast dis appearing and everything depends on how soon new cotton Is going to turn up after it starts moving, Shorts were covering on a good scale. Showers and cooler weather was indicated for Texas and Arkansas Cables steady at 50 net advance.
