 NEW YORK June 2e.-The old crop opened weaker and the new crop higher At the open ing hour it was understood that an immense number of July notices had been issued The general situation in the morning was un- changed the weather was still too cool. cs- pecially In the Southwest. where the moisture early in the day was at point denoting too cool nights, At Memphis there was heavy fall of rain. Altogether there continues lack of warmth and sunshine which Is decidedly against the growth of the plant and the quss- ton now is what will the month of July develop in regard to question of moisture and temperature. TlIe trade regards July as the critical month for the crop and unless the month shows much greater improvement than the past 1t will be safe to calculate on short crop no matter what may follow later In the season. meanwhile the bulls will he favored by the extinction of tho old crop and a short supply of the new which leaves them in an invunerahe position The market rallyied rapidly after the opening, September especial ly showing great strength The insight fig ures for tho week were 33 900. against 46,ooo last year Cables very steady at lq3 points net advance.

Nev Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. June 2s-The spot cot ton market today was quiet. but very firm with offerings decidedly light. Sales, 300 bales. Quotations for good ordinary and high CT grades advanced S-t6
 In the future market the ring was much qu,eter than for several days and in spite of the fact that notices for about 100, 900 bales fin New York and New Orleans together had been served the bulls remained in complete control of the situation and at time sent the new months up for wide advances. It was estimated that notices for 25.0oo bales had been served and promptly stopped in the To- cal market and notices for between 80, 900 and 90. GOO bales in the New York market had been served the New Orleans bull clique through Frank B. Hayne, who is in New York for the purpose of handling the notices at that point. all of which were promptly stopped. At the opening September was l points high CT and the other positions 2G7 above yester- days closing level.

the market showed disposition to decline, though shorts were frightened by reports that all notices had been provided for and they covered on a liberal scale with the result that the market advanced. There were also reports to the effect that the New Orleans bull party was openly supporting the market, buying all of the nearby deliveries with much vigor. July jumped I7 points and August l9 on this information. The new crop positions showed an equal amount of nervousness and uncer- tainty and the fluctuations were quite cratic. The excitement during the day ran high at times and both interess were rather reluctant to take a position in either direction for the time being. The movement of cotton con- tinued moderate. The advices from New Or leans were to the effect that all July notices would be stopped and on such information the bears sought to reduce their contracts on the short side and consequently there was pretty good buying on all small recesions.

 NEW YORK, June 26.-The market present ed very much the same characteristics that were witnessed yesterday. There was a little selling in St. Paul early with covering of shorts from Chicago contingent following ports of rains in the Northwest and a break in wheat. The most notable feature was selling movement in C. F. I. that carried 1t down nearly 3 points. while there was a good demand for American Car Foundry on the fine annual showing of earnings Banks lost S4, 24o. 900 to the sub-treasury since last Friday and tho street is prepared for unfavorable bank statement Tho market very dull during the afternoon and while there was some covering by shorts in c. r. I. sentiment was befrish on the stock. due to talk of new is- sues being made. Room traders covered shorts in Chicago and Union Pacific Call money was somewhat firmer. As high as 3h per cent. was paid. St. Paul held up better than thought would be the case. The buying in copper was put down to improved trade con- dItIons with some talk of an increase in the dividend. The market at large. however. was very tame and unnterestng with no new features developing up to the close.
