cothran e co.,s Cotton Letter.
By c. W. Lee & Co.

By c. W. Lee & Co.,
 New York. May 22.-The week has been really too full of developments to al tempt a review of them in the space letter of this kind permits. Sufficient to say that the week has been a record one in extent of dealings with thu ee million bales day and prices fluctuating in the widest possible fashion. The appearance of MT. I3rown on Monday was the fea- ture early and the appearance or Phia- deiphia interests In opposition to MT. Brown was the feature later in the week. Ii Is now definitely understood that there is battle on In the cotton market This may be changed at any moment put It will only be changed by the capitulatloh of New Orleans to Philadelphia. In the opposltion possible to an attempt such as inc New orleans people are making in July, the New Orleans interest IS known to have expressed its fear Of only one obstacle. It now looks as though efforts would be made by McFadden to depress the price oi July and August cotton.
 This depression may be carried only to A point at which 1t will be prohtapie for him to buy in the short July sold as a hedge against the 125,OO bales or cot ton In this city.
 Ard again it may be that more cotton will be bought anu tHe WhSAS Mir. Brown and others long or July. IL will be remembered that intimate rela- lions existing between MT Sully and MT McFadden insured the success or the Nav deal. With such formidable opposl- tion if ia extremely doubtful whether an attempt to bull July above the present nrice will meet with success, no matter what the strength of the position may be or what the backing of the July lh- terest may represent. For the present therefore. and till 1t shall be generally Lnown that the holders of spot cotton in this city are net opposed to an advanee' we must completely reverse our attituos on inc cotton msrket as 1t has existed for about three months past. That IS ln- stead of buying cotton confidently lor higher prices, purchases in July ana Au- aust can hardly be justified and purchases Tn October should only be undertaken on axtreme depressions. We do not alter o,,r oninion that October will sell in the neigbborhood of 10 cents pound. But, from the first of June till the first notice day in July, the future market Will de- nend on the tiv,ty of holders or spot cotton in this city more than upon the merits of the position. Prices have been advancing too raridly of late and those Interested in the best welfare of the cot ton will do their utmost to bring about more ouiet market. The government re- mort of June will be the most important document issued on cotton in many years and will be awaited with a corresponding degree of interest.

COTTON RULED
 VERY IRREGULAR
Following the Gall Summer
 Months Were Advanced
LIVERPOOL WAS ACTIVE
At First the Market Was Very Excited as a Result of the surpris- ing Strength Developed.
 Closed Steady.

New York, May 22.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of to 10 points and ruled very irregular. At first the market was very excited as a result of the surprising strength developed. Liverpool speculation was very active Following the call. tic summer months were advanced still little further under the rush of covering and fresh buying orders which were attracted by the Liver pool advance. Then Liverpool began to ease off. the receipts for the day were estimated once more to greatly exceed last year and the weather map again reflected favorable conditions. Bulls be- came less aggressive and the first rush of demand from shorts becoming exhausted, the bears began hammering values. This lead to a decline from the best of several points on the active option, but was suc- ceeded by another rally. On the advance, however, speculation became very much less active. Occasionally there would be a momentary burst of enthusiasm and prives would fluctuate upward or down ward or 2 points but with the general drift upward from the low point of the morning. After the morning business, afternoon trading was comparatively quiet and featureless and prices moved slowly At the best level of the day, which was reached In the last hour they showed an advance of from 10 to 30 points as compared with the closing of last night and at this level showed gain of from to % points from the lowest level of the morning. Just before the close there was a little realizing but the market finally was steady, net to 2S points higher, July closing at 10.79, being 3 points below the best of the afternoon, as was also August, Which closed at 10. .67. September closed at 9.76.- Total sales of futures were estimated at 250O0O bales. The Liverpool market this morning open ed to points lower; advanced to level net Az to IT points higher, then declined and closed net IF to points higher. A factor in the selling was the Into sight for the week which exceeded expectations being reported at 79993 bales against early estimates of 60O00 bales.
