 NEW ORLEANS. May iS.-Liverpool advices were more favor able than expected and our market in sympathy opened l54I9 points higher on old op months and 6aI5 on new Fresh buying subsequently occasloned an ad- ditional advance of 32G39 points or near po- s'tions and i2@l6 on late. realizing later SUI perinduced break of 9di5 points from the top on old crop options and 4@6 on late. making the net gain 2594s points on near months and t2625 on the late. Liverpool cables claimed that the strength of the near months and short time would stimulate yarns and that 1t was feared manipulation enter ing that market. The hrmness of Liverpool ac- centuattd the optimistic feeling prevalent in America and general buying was the order of the day. No attention Is being paid to price l. to be simply question of getting in ct any level. The existing range of values looks dangerou to conservative merchants; stil continent may succeed in forcing them higher The movement continues liberal and the weather conditions aje favorable. Notwithstanding these features the trade Is looking for unfavorahie weekly weather report tomorrow The new crop months, how e' CT. more active than tho near on the hypothesis that If the old months cnn be held at around i2 cents the crop posi- tions with the large discounts are certainly an attractive speculative investment.

 NEW YORK, May l6.-October cotton sold at 3.ee again this morning. It sold at 684 on saturday. We have very little interest i1 the cou: SC of July and August. There those who say 1t Is going to be the widest summer we have ever had in the cotton business. That should not surprise anyone. There is while consumption will be dim.nishe graiu- ally with every advance from now on, this will not prevent high prices. Some mills have s7t to keep on running and some mills have got to buy the cotton necessary to keep run ming. Oui interest, however is not in the l2. 3 or IA cents predicted for July cotton but in what we believe to be inevitable ad- vance in the early Fall month";. We we uid call your. attention to the fact that in former years when cotton sold for IIGI2 cents a pound as the value of cotton; that is when prices for American cotton were at thes, figures throughout the cotton world the old than k cent discount. That is taking 1883 for instance. as an example of many seasons May cotton about this time gold for l0Ac and October for l0lkc Going back over the records shows that the present discount of the early Fall months Is entirely unjustifiable and will be so shown before another three months come and go. If any one is desirous of making little money through purchase of commodity at moderate price under the D. aspect of much higher prices we can safely recommend attention turned towards the po- sition of October in this market. Today's ex- citemeut was due to the appearance of Mir. that seem to average operator to be border ing on insanity. and we must not forget that MT. Brown has been the right side of the market for four years

NEW YORK. May Is-Cotton opened "a ls points higher on cables on heavy trading with bulls in full control. inspired by much better cables than expected and the arrival of New Orleans bull leader whose coming is expt cted to advance the market to figures deemed ndc- ulous some time ago. Scarcity of spot cotton is still the ralying cry of the bull element and the claim seems to have no little basis Furthermore there has been entirely too much rain in some of the Atlantic and Gulf States and the chances are that the Weather Bureau report will not be encouraging to the bear element. Outside of Texas poor reports exceed the good ones and as we are now nearing June the crop should be making much better pro- gress if the bull element are to be over thrown, while an absence of better crop con ditions the next two weeks will materially strengthen their position, The receipts are again petering out and this helps prices As much 25 points advance was shown the first hour. Shorts were covering and the new crop months were gaining In favor and there were a good many complaints about the crop being poor In the Southwest Port receipts were estimated at 6,ooo, against 4. 300 last year. It Is understood that a number of com mission firms are still short of July and Au- gust Cables were 6N l9 points higher

 NEW ORLEANS. May I8.-Liverpaol wae due to come this morning fully 4 points lower to correspond with the decline on this side saturday. Instead. sensational advance of l7ale points was recorded there on the near positions as with the late months up 8. with spots quoted l4 points higher. The trading during the early morning hours was most active and fluctuations at this time during the day violent. The eagerness to buy curing the early session carried prices within a few points of the highest levels recently seen for July options. while August repeated its re- cent performance again, scorcing record break- ing prices. Our early cables attributed the strong showing of the English market to the Egyptian buying influenced by small stock of tenderable cotton. Sentiment unquestionably seems to be turning to the long side of the late months, where the disposition is to in vest. due to the unusual discount prevailing as compared with Summer options. From the present outlook it is most probable that the near months will continue to hold high pre- mium. while the late deliveries are not ilKey to go much below recent quotations unless something unusual should develop to give general trade setback from its present &C., tivity.
