 NEW ORLEANS. June 27-The bearish wis., ible supply statement and the favorable Chronicle weekly crop summary had a quiet ing effect upon Liverpool but notwithstand- ing the disappointing course of that market prices here opened lq2 points hgher on the near months and unchanged to points lower on the late; subsequently, he continuance of favorable weather conditions in the belt occa- stoned realizing and break of 5dI0 points from the top established on the new crop options, supporting orders near the close caused a slightly steadier feeling, making the net loss lQ2 points on old crop months and 3q6 points on the new The visible supply of all kinds decreased 7e.ooo during the week against a loss of 94. 900 last year. of which compared to decrease of 5000 last year. The total visible supply of all kinds is g. 295, 900, against GOO last year. and the American aggregates I.le2,ooo. against I- 1000 last year. During the past 24 hours scattered showers have occurred throughout the South, but no heavy rains are reported It is predicted that unsettled weather will pre- vail tonight and Sunday and scattered show CTS will take place in the greater portion of the district. The temperature, however, will rise Sunday generally over the interior. The amount marketed to date is 34i 900 in ex- cess of last year. pointing to a crop of t. o22 GOO bales on the face of the movement The total visible supply of all kinds is only 1000 under last year, showing a relative gain of 263, 900 during the past ten weeks. In the meanwhile manipulation has tied up over 200, 900 bales of American and ad- vanced price to an unusually high level The manufactured product, though Is not bring ing any more now than when the raw article was selling around g cents Spnners in Flu rope and America claim that it Is impossible to make new engagements on eXsting levels and many mills are therefore closing down or resorting to short time. Consequently. with such situation confronting the trade it is best to be conservative, especially as the grow ing crop prospects have materially improved during the past ten days Considering the immense discounts In the new crops and rec ognizng the fitmness of the Summer position there is nothing to justify selling at the mo- ment; still in our opinion think that new crops now should only be purchased on de- cided declines with view of taking profits on spurts

 NEW YORK. June 27.-The cotton future market displayed further uncertainty and nervousness today. The nearby deliveries at traeted the bulk of attention. though the bull leaders were less persistent and the varia- tiors Of prices were naturally less sensational The Liverpool advices were about as expected and foreign operations were devoid of special feature though the private advices Were tp the effect that shorts were nervous and were inclined to seek cover on all little declines The crop and weather news was rather con hicting. but in the main conditions were slight ly improved over chose prevalent early in the week The spot markets were well main tained. though, there were few actual trans actions. +he demand from spinners and export CTS being limited The movement of cotton was small. As has ben the case for some days past. the New Orleans port furnished the greater proportion of the movement. The interior receipts wer- reported to be small The professional element did the bulk of busi- ness, outsiders sending but few orders through houses and wire concern. On the close the feeling continued conflicting. but the trade generally was inclined to figure that everything depends on the future operations of the bull clique. which are in control of nearly all of the available cotton.

 Il1, r1-ix,

NEW YORK, June 27.-Cahles were un- changed to points lower for the old crop. but September-October were points up. There was nothing of importance in The Chronicle report or in the various trade authorities be- yond the recent run of news, which Is of mixed character, with a proclamation of very poor accounts. The weekly Liverpool statistical report remains bulish. The stocks in that market are still over 300. 900 less than last year and the statistical situation otherwise Is srong that it Is impossible to anything ahead but strong market until new cotton begins to move and this 1t is admitted will be of small proportions until the middle of Sep tember at least. Rain fell today at many points and the temperature was generally higher. The belief prevails, however. that the nights are stiu entirely too cool to help the plant. The visible supply of the world lost during the week 9oooo bales. The market opened at a sharp advance of 2q4 points
 Showers were indicated for Texas, and the Territories, but these were not looked upon as of any consequence. Shorts covered early in the day and thereafter business was mainly scalping. In fact there was less interest and less bushes than witnessed for a long while.

 NEW YORK. June 27.-There is absolutely nothing to say about the cotton market Trad ing this morning was smaller than at any time this season and as the season advances the number Of commission houses advising their customers to let the market alone increases Whie Liverpool was unchanged for nearly all options the local market opened slightly higher ana then sold on or points before the close IL was practically impossible to create any activity in the marketor for brokers to execute any orders in any blocks if they had the or ders to execute. But the surprising part of it sll was the brokers with usually a larger num- Der of orders above or below the market had nothing to do. Weather advices showed tenn peratures to be too low to encourage short selling and Of course no one can be induced to enter market at inflated level Reports from dry goods circles begin to show the eff tects of higher prices for raw material and It looks as though spinners having any cot ton on hand would pass 1t over to Mir. Brown 1t remains to be seen how Mir. Brown will dispose of this cotton later on

PARTING OF THE WAYS.
Combes and Waldeck- Rousseau Fail
 to Agree

Paris, June 27.-In the Senate today, the debate on the government project requir- ing communes to build schools to replace those of the religious congregations, brought out a divergency of views from Premier Combes and former Premier Waldeck Rousseau. the latter re-entering the debates for the first time in months.
 NJ. Combes supported the law and M Waldeck Rousseau. who followed, pointed out the enormous cost involved in the project, nearly s25O0O.00O. and urged eau ton. lest the benefits of the law of 1901 he checked.
 Following NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau the Senate by 1S3 to 95 votes decided to dis euss the law in detail. This constitutes a partial check to the government plan to limit the discussion of the measure as a whole.
