at unchanged levels. Cables expressed the opinion that the short interest had been liquidated and the market was de- prlved of support from that source. Spots experienced decline of points on sales of 1000 bales.
 Our market displayed considerable vim at the opening, which was at a slight decline, and all offerings were free ly accepted. Later some profit taking caused recessions and for short period create the impression that cotton was F little heavy but developments proved that the latent strength exerted and higher prices were again observed which held quite firmly until carried materially over by selling way late in the session.
 Crop reports from Mississippi and the Atlantic continue very pessimistie and neither the weather chart nor forecasts offered acceptable features The spot de- mand answered all requirements and ln- terior points advised similar trade. Should the monthly bureau confirm the report of poorer crop conditions and the excellence of the export demand, con- tinued higher prices may quite confident ly be expected eventually, but with a large short interest supposed recently to have accumulated, numerous recess sions may be expected before the higher levels are attained.

 There was early buying by Armour and some of the old bull crowd, but with the market advancing Armour turn ed seller of May but was thought to be buying in the northwest.

Lovenan a Cos Market Letter.

Liverpool did not take the sully procla- nation seriously and instead of advanc- ing points, as expected. closed at a loss on the day at 1 point; spots were points lower with sales 4000; the quota tion for middling is now 6.6S while that for September delivery is 6.26 and for spot October 5.91. Within week more September option will have passed off the board and spot prices in Liverpool must meanwhile come down considerably to adjust themselves more closely to the option which will then become current September in Liverpool is like a summer month here in seasons of exhaustion and scarcity, prices are naturally higher dur ing that month until receipts come on the market.
 The early news from the south this morning was very bullish and the first decline of 10 points in response to Liver pool was recovered with rush spot. De- mand was reported from many quarters as urgent at advancing prices. even Provl- dence sent a telegram stating that the de mand was something fierce"
 At one time the level was higher than last nights closing and within couple of points of the top of yesterday. An ac- tive bear attack accompanied by rumors of calls for s per bale original margin on Sully brokers coused sharp reaction in the afternoon and prices closed prac- tically at the lowest of the day, about F points under last nights figures. On this basis futures are again in line with Liver pool and also on better parity with spots and should the demand continue to- morrow 1t would be much easier to move up prices from this level. The operations of individuals at best can have only a temporary effect. The real governing features are supply and demand and re- gently as we have seen the demand has been in excess of supply so that the up- ward movement of prices has beene a natural consequence. Liverpool is due to come points lower In the morning. Leishman & Co.'s Cotton Letter.
