Say Weeks Market Surpassed Pro-
fessiOnals.

New York. July 15.-The weeks
cotton market has proved a surprise
to a great many professionals. There
has been a settled conviction on the
part of a majority of those operating
in the market. that as long as crop
news continued good nothing but sag
ging prices wis in sight. But for four
days this week the market has gradu-
ally hardened. gaining a few points
each day, until this morning cotton
sold 9.72c. or points higher than the
best prices Of last week. This ad-
vance has taken place in the face Of
strenuous opposition on the part of
bear element, and with very little as
sistance on the part of the general
public. There has been no change for
the worse in the nature Of advices from
the cotton belt. and the rise is general
ly attributed TO the technical position

Attribute Decline TO Weak Foreign
Cables.
New York, July 15.-The cotton future
market to-day opened steady in tone,
with the price points lower to 8
points higher. The cables started
much higher and then lost their
strength. Foreign interests, however,
appeared to be disposed to sell the old
crop months and to buy the new crop
options, and the private cables were
rather conflicting on this phase of the
situation. The inference was drawn
by many that the foreign element was
working futures with the hope of work
ing the spot markets, and it was adj
mitted that they were out after spot
cotton. The weather conditions gem
orally, were regarded as quite favor
able, and sentiment among profess
siOrtals in the local market seemed to
have a bearish average in consequence.
The offerings were not very large, and
the market. when it declined. did go
quite naturally. Room traders were
inclined to force the August option,
however, and some little business from
the short side appeared. The holders
of the new options were nervous, and
on the little advances they seemed in
clined to SELL following the favorable
array of crop advices. Private tele-
grams from the belt were indicative
of favorable progress toward maturity
in many sections. although the South
western advices told of an increase in
the boil weevil. The spot market in
the South were steady, though the
demand was small, while offerings we're
limited. The port receipts were figured
at 1900 against 1045 last year. For
the week they were 10000, against 81
456 last year. The in sight figures
for the week and the other statistics
were about as expected. The market
on the close was rather nervous, but
not especially feVerish.
