HAYWARD, WICK & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter From New Or
leans.

New Orleans, June 1S-Liverpool
shows astonishing resistance to fur
Their decline around six pence for the
summer positions. That the extreme
advance in spring has hampered trade
seriously is now an undisputed fact,
and had we stayed even around IA
cents, consumption might not have
revived. but declining to IL cents, con-
sumers have chance to strike a fair
average for their seasons purchases,
and the consequence is that mills are
now again consuming what is to be
had at present prices. They I'M
doubtedly could use "a good deal of
raw material until new supplies ar
rive, and the question for operators in
summer months is, will enough cotton
out of the present stock go to the
spndles to reduce the supplies to an
easily manageable minimum. Then,
careless shorts in the summer posi-
tions might be successfully squeezed.
This as a Saturday, and everybody
should bear in mind that Saturday
markets are very deceptive, therefore
better watch and see whether this i'm
provement in Liverpool takes on a ten
dency before acting on it. New crops
in Liverpool only gained / to points,
although they are low compared with
at least English points higher to-
day, this shows lack of support for
new crops in the English market. The
weather in the belt continues perfect
and the professional propaganda to
buy new crops is pushed as vigorously
as ever. People are told all sorts of
things; first, that 9Iac, is cheap, as
with an 100000 crop we should go to
lie, anyhow. What about the decline
this year with a 100000 600 crop? sec
ondly, that there is enormous short in
terest in new crops, which is not the
case at all. People never sold new
crops very largely, the heavy dis
counts kept them from it, and the last
reaction from 9A to 9.S0c also elimi-
mated short interest. Now they find
the price too low to sell and do moth
ing. OF course there are some shorts
at higher prices, but there is also
nothing to scare them into buying In
short, new crops are in a weak posi-
ton, the consuming trade is caught
long of them at high prices, and If
everything goes on fairly we'll with this
| crop, present prices untenable At
| the request of New York, where the
| boys wish to enjoy a full half holiday,
we close this report ahead of the usual
hour. The one feature in the spot
| department is that holders want to get
| rid of the stuff. and that desire will
| increase as we get closer to notice
| day, which Is the oath. There was but
little actual spot business to-day.

fair line Of proflt-taking but the cot
ton coming out generally was well
taken, and throughout the day there
was a somewhat better tendency.
However. there was still considerable
nervousness and uncertainty with re-
gard TO the old crop months, in that
there was believed TO be some big ma
nipulation in progress and strong in
terests We're credited with being in
clined to manipulate. The long inter-
ests in the South was figured TO have
been materially reduced. and conse-
quently some OF the local bulls worked
10 get the Southern interests to cover.
The movement was moderate and the
statistics on the whole were quite bull
ish. but naturally so in view Of the APP
preaching end of the season. The
weekly summary of the Chronicle was
about as expected. and private tele-
grams from the South generally reflect
ed favorable crop condition. The
nights were considered a little too cool.
however. This is an obstacle which
may be readily overcome at most any
time, since the time for hot weather
is now practically at hand. Lack of
moisture was noted in some of the
southern sections of the Mississippi
valley. but the crop was not figured
TO be suffering any. The feeling on
the close was a little mixed, in view
of 4 number OF interests who were
inclined to be cautious over the Sun
day interval

Cotton Letter to Demere and Ham
mOnd.
New York, June 1S.-Liverpool ca
bles this morning were materially
better than expected on both crops,
though the old positions were relative
ly firmer than the far months, and
New York's opening was strong, but
this strength was not maintained and
July quickly sold down below IL cents,
while the far months held surprising
ly steady. The South continued free
sellers of the new crop, which was
promptly absorbed by demand from
spot houses and shorts who were COW
ering. This tended to check any de-
cline in sympathy with the old crop.
The entire country seems to be bear
ish, and justly so. but there is an old
claim on the exchange that too
much company on one side is apt to
tip the boat" Just at present there
are some few complaints of dry wealth
er, this cloud of doubt can quickly
grow and anything at present in the
way of scare to the shorts would
mean a quick rally in October, Decem-
Der and January though ultimately
lower prices are indicated.
Liverpool is due to come four down
for old crop and three up for new
Monday.

Put Market Up.
New York. June 1S.-Liverpool re-
covered a few points on the covering
of shorts this morning and the same
movement here helped prices. Outside
of moderate buying there were no
change in conditions. Weather was
perfect and, of course. as long as this
continues the only help for the mar
ket is the short covering that comes
from time to time. There is likely to
be this sort of thing as long as the
market is heavily short. 1t would take
bad news, however, to put prices high
er, and keep them up. This is only
June and the crop is not made for
three months yet. There will be
plenty of chances to buy on breaks
and sell on advances. That is all there
is likely to be in cotton for some time
to come. Prices have already dis
counted as big a crop as we have ever
gathered. It's time to go slow selling
cotton, though it is undoubtedly not
the time to buy for higher prices.
Watch the weather map, that is the
cue now.

% points on the old crop and 1910
points on the new crop positions or
fully as high as warranted by the
firmer Liverpool cables. Weather
conditions remained nearly perfect and
following the call the market ruled
rather easier. particularly as to the old
crop months which came In for a re-
newal of liquidation and pressure from
leading room operators. The new crop.
however, held fairly steady on mod
crate covering for over Sunday not
outstanding the favorable character
of the weather forecast
Trading was very quiet and, after
breaking TO about I0,s5o for July and

little tendency either way with crop
