NEW ORLEANS. May 1o.-The spot cot ton market remains quiet; demand light, but factors say cotton can be purchased under fuil board prices. Sales, 250 bales. including 200 to arrive; delivered con tracts. 300. Quotations 1-16 lower.s
 Futures opened steady and from 8 to 6 points higher the advance being caused by the improvement in Liverpool and New York. At the opening there was a good de- mand for July and it looked if weak shorts were covering on the strength of this demand. July advanced T 1ints to lI. 20. but later on the market became stagnant and July feli%t to 14.14, recovered to 14. I9. from which it finally fell to IS. 9s. after the reading of the Government crop report. which was less bullish than expected. The closing was quiet with net losses on the old crop months of F to 15 points and to on the new.

 NEW YORK. May l0.--Cotton futures in the local market opened steady Tn tone to- day, with first prices at small advance. The betterment was the result of buying for the account of room shoBts the latter being apprehensive account of the better cables. the foreign advices being better than expected The early weather reports how ever. were quite favorable but private ad- vices from some sections complained of tenn perature being too low. The offerings were extremely small during the forenoon. and the market was we'll maintained. The week ly Government report attracted considerable attention and served to turn the tendency of the market. The report was much better than looked for. and tho bear interests in the market speedily took advantage of the outlook and offered, the market down. How ever, the movement in this connection at It's best was rather narrow. but the tone of the afternoon market was rather easy. Shorts covered nfresh the dips. but there seemed to be enough cotton to go around, and the market at times allowed to drift The movement of cotton continued along small lines and the reports from va rious DO nts indicated continued small re- ceipts during the balance of the season. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000, against e220 for the same day last year.

NEW YORK, May 10.--In view of a very satisfactory Bureau report, the bears seemed to get renewed courage and helped to de- press the market, which was generally weak on account of light business and no support. The estimates for New Orleans tomorrow and general port receipts promise to run well up of last years. This was considered as rather a bcar'sh feature during the af- ternoon. and prices sold down with the mar ket closing around the lowest for the day. Sentiment is in a measure mixed. but lar ger proportion bearish and look for lower prices. Certain it Is that the conditions of
 this crop are materially in favor of the bear side and a continuation of good favorable
 we.s>r for the next two or three weeks will make conditions sase for the largest crop on record. unless there is a terrible
 damage in August. Private advices to-day
 indicate that the prevailing cold spell has
 done no material harm. and at present. the
 entire list looks sale. On New York's
 close tonight Liverpool is due to come to

 NEW ORLEANS, May Acknowledgements in the cotton market to-day were not of suf- ficient weight to Justify positive conclusions about the future course of prices. and the absence of an adequate spot demand, slow. dragging tendency resulted.
 Liverpool improved somewhat. but not with sufficient energy to lend encourage ment. It is evident that English spinners are confining their purchases to easy peri ods and in no mood to rush for cotton when speculation, advances prices. The opening tone here was steady and some buy ing was indulged1 in, in anticipation of a buliish weekly crop report. This feature furnished the disappointment, however, as the idea was conveyed that recent heavy rains in Texas inflicted only a moderate ex- tent of damage that was more than offset by the benefit experienced in sections where the precipitation was not so heavy and where complaints of replanting were noted. 1t was stated that cultivation was keep ing up with the progress of the plant. The publication of this report was signalized by free selling for long and short accounts. that sent prices off decidedly: otherwise tho market inclined 10 be quiet. The situation plainly needs an infusion of active inquiry for actual cotton to inspire greater animation.
