MARKETS FOR FUTURES HEAVY RECEIPTS AND DIsAP-
 POINTING CABLES. New Crop Months Are Again the Weakest-summer Options Show
 Some Strength Under
 Bull Support.

New York, June 1S-The cotton market opened easy at a decline of to IS points under disappointing Liverpool cables, heavier receipts, favorable weather over the South and less bullish private crop advices with both local and foreign operators selling more or less freely The new crop months were again the weakest, however and after the initial rush of seii- ing had exhausted itself, the summer months showed some strength under bull support and forecasts for less favorable climatic conditions during the next twenty-four hours July, which had opened at F 10 sold up to 12.A and August reach- ed 11.Ss under these influences while the new crop months also showed sympathetic recoveries. Sentiment, however, seemed more bearish on the new crop than at any time of late, and when the estimates for tomorrow's receipts at New Orleans were received showing full movement to be expected the late positions again sold om sharply, while the old crop displayed con- siderable resistance, but nevertheless worked lower. Speculation except right at the opening was not particularly active and the decline was slow and gradual, be- ing interspersed with occasion, but slight reactions right up to the close, which was within two to six points of the lowest for the session, the market being steadied in the last few minutes by covering though it still showed a net loss of II to 20 points. Total sales of futures were estimated at 250,0Oo bales. Port receipts today turned out about 3,60S bales against 1858 and from 1,S00 to 2,I00 bales are expected at New Orleans tomorrow, against 5fS bales last year.

 In response to unfavorable cables the summer months opened ? to points low CT and the new crop positions Il to 15 points below last evenings closing figures. Liquidation is not wholly completed.

 New Orleans. La, June fs.-Liverpooi was disappointing consequently our market opened 2 to lower on near months and Il to IS down on the late. Fresh buying shortly after was Instrumental in causing advance of to 9 but as the weather was generally fair through out the cotton belt and crop accounts were more favorable realizing again set in occasion ing break of II to 15 from the top. Shorts covering about this time superinduced an ad- vance of six to nine from the bottom. As soon &s the demand was filed values however be- came sllghly easier making the loss points Declined 10 points and the other months show ed loss of 1s to 20 points. The Houston Daily Post state has increased per cent over last year the report also says that at a date so late crop never more uncertain than the present one. The late spring and cool weather in May has caused replanting to such an ex- tent that the plant is about a month behind time With the Good Season in the Ground" though and with good weather in July and August there is every indication that a big yield can be made even on the present stand Considerable complaint is made of the ravages by cut worms and web worms with attacks from. grub worms sharpshooters and grass hoopers the boil weevils have appeared in southwest Texas in few places in central and east Texas. While the report the whole is unfavorable there are many who anticipate that the future weather condition in that state will be sufficiently favorable to make a good yield ultimately Notwithstanding the late start and present discouraging outlook the re- cent sharp decline has been due to the general the South during the past four or five days. This is only natural and the chances are the weather may continue for some time. Still with the late starting and poor prospects 1t Is essential that these conditions be favorable right along to overcome the backward loss and un- favorable existing prospects With any further set back, operators will become uneasy owing to the large discounts and quick enhancement would be established. The world believes a very large crop must be raised this year to meet consumptive requirements therefore with the many viciSsitudes to be encountered we think it best to be conservative for the moment and would rather buy crop months on all decided breaks with view of selling on rallies.

 New Orleans, La, June I.-The course Of Liverpool to-day would suggest that the trade there were also impressed with the more favor able weather conditions which frightened dur ing the past week.
 The opening of the English market more than answered the hopes of those bearishly inclined with deliveries lowered at one time some to 10 points. Spots however, were advanced points; early cables read market feels influence of favorable weather reports. summer months fin strong hands"
 The easier foreign position WAS reflected here to the extent of IS to IS points decline and the rally that occurred later in the early session influenced by covering by the short interest as we'll as some buying by those who were satisfied with the statistical posit- ion and the decreased amount of old cotton that remains to be marketed before new crop supplies can be depended upon.
 However, the early improvement proved to be of a temporary nature only and selling orders again become so numerous that they more than supplied the demand and under the press ure, prices were forced down to the lowest levels of the day. Even at this late date many uncertainties surrounded the growing crop, still with the continuation of good July and August weather there is a prospect of rais- ing big yield even on present stand. Yet the crop has worms of nearly every variety to contend with and are already reported to have made their appearence and proving very destructive in Southwest Texas The total de- cline on contracts in the local market to-day was 20 points

By Private Leased wire.I


 New York, June IS-The cotton future mar ket today was quiet and rather disappointing to the bull factions, the later having looked for a continuation of manipulative tactics in an upward direction. The opening was barely steaoy with first prices at decline of ' to IS points. The Liverpool advices were adverse to the longs, while heavy receipts and more favorable weather were also distinct consids erations in this connection. The movement of quotations throughout the day was irregu- lar and under the circumstances, various trad ing interests were inclined to proceed slowly in the matter of making predictions with re- gard to the future. The traue during the greater portion of the day was of a local character, the wire concerns and the commiss- ion house following being content to hold aloof for the time being. The Liverpool closing was at a decline of 10 to 15 points as compared with last nights closing level, and the private cables were rather conflicting as regards the state of the spinning trade and the c oth market Tho movement of cotton aggregated about 2.zoo bales at the ports as compared with 1.S66 last year. The weekly estimate continued rather bearish though the total promised to run well under that of last year. The advices from Texas regarding the crop were bearish in that the weather in the southwest was report ed as perfect while the crop was said to be making rapid growth. The crop was also re- ported to be squaring satisfactorily in many sections of the belt,

 New York. June 1S.-New crops looked pretty sick at one time today. The decline carried prices to a point that revealed a reaction in three days of about F cents pound. The break sustains all that has been said against the purchases of fall months at so inflated level though the decline has now carried prices to a point from which reaction can be expected It is question, however, whether sufficient break has taken place to place the position of a new crop a sound basis Weather conditions are very good indeed and while we do not mean to say that crop accounts are good or brilliant. they certainly very much better than those at hand a few weeks ago. When we were advising the purchase of fall month at s1a and cents accounts were very bad. The government conditions shows how poor they were. But things are shifting to the other side and with steady Improvement in the condition of crop prices can hardly be maintained at any such figure as that recently prevailing. It may be that the next government report will show decided Improvement In this event prices vii go lower just as they went higher after the last report as we are facing a different order of things at least every hope that weather surroundings

 tBy privatn Vvira


 New York, June B.-the weather in the South has been decidedly better the past four days and the Government forecast is for simi- lar conditions tomorrow. This fact is mak- Ing good deal of impression in sentiment but cannot much affect prices for the simple reason that the crop is practically exhausted. On all sides there is a scarcity of staple and furthermore it is known and conceded that can have no cotton of importance before October weather conditions what they may be and no matter what the price may be. It is a question to what extent the crop may improve. People forget that the chances of a good crop are dwindling every day. The num- Der of good reports are insignificant compared to the bad reports and the fact that Texas is already suffering from boil weevils gives the bulls decided advantage. Cables were poor when We opened and first prices were con- eequently easy at to IS points decline. A new line of shorts was put out on the good weather reports but this will have to be covered before great while and there Is possibility of keeping prices down until new cotton reaches market in large quantities. No at tention is now given to the current movement. Cables were to I5 points lower.
