New Orleans Cotton Market

NcN orleans LOTION mdFNoG
New Orleans. August 14-Spot cotton
quiet; sales, 200. Quotations unchanged.
BulIish weather and crop conditions have
vance their prices fully " cent above board
quotations
Futures were very quiet. Influenced by
Liverpool cables prices opened five points
higher than yesterdays closing. There
was more disposition to sell than to buy
throughout the morning. This caused
prices to sag almost to the closing of yes
terday. Promise of rain In all Of the south
western districts in the forecast for to-
night and tomorrow. and extremely light
receipts, proved strong factors to support
the market In the face of the desire to
sell and prices were again sent up to the
highest level of the morning
Prices continued to improve until the
close of the session when the list showed
net gains of three points on August and
seven to eight on the new crop positions

ENTIRE LIST MOVES UP

New York, August 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance of to
points, and for a time showed further
strength on the higher cables, clique sup
port, and covering by shorts, who were
still apprehensive as to the course OF
the tropical storm which was again said
TO be headed for the gulf states. Septem-
Der and October led the advance, but
after selling up to 1886 for the FORMER
and 10 .03 for the latter, the list was weak
ened by realizing, and the decline in
August which was depressed by notices.
That position had opened at 1910 bid and
sold down to 1906 before midday, while
the latter months. though relatively
steady, declined to the opening figures.
The bears again came TO the support of
values at the lower level, however, and
the market was rallied quite sharply with
the bull entering the rings in person and
bidding u 80 for $1,000 August without
getting an offer of any kind. At the same
time another representative OF the pool
was bidding 10 SO for September, and the
entire list moved up with October reach
ing 10 O5, and the other months selling at
about the high point OF the morning
After the bidding of 1870 was with
drawn, that month sold at lZ.zi anu
closed at 1920. that being the highest
figure at which an actual sale was re-
ported

were steadied at reports of too much rain
In certain sections of the belt, but gen.
orally speaking the climatic conditions
were favorable. The close was steady

that 5000 bales OF cotton are to be shipped
from here to Liverpool In the near fu-
ture. Sales of 1879 bales were reported

DO not wish her back dear parents,
In this world OF grief ana pain
For she's calmly, sweetly sleeping
Where peace and JOY forever reign.
We shall miss you little Ada

Loving brothers too will miss her
Miss ner smiles from day 20 day
But she's only gone before you.

Lonely years wen pas without her.
But twill not seem long 10 wait.
Till we all will cross the river,
stand within the golden gate.
