DEMERE q HAMMOND's
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.


New York. July 12.-The strength in
Liverpool continues undated and
spinners are actively taking more than
their full consumption daily, which is
unusual at this season of year and
especially in view of scant stocks on
hand in Liverpool Sales to-day were
10000 at IA advance futures, after es-
tablishing quite substantial improve
ment lost a good portion of it under
heavy selling orders from this side.
The breaking of long wet spells which
hung over the cotton belt for past
two weeks was looked upon as mark
ing the end of present advance in
winter months. There does not seem
to be any valid reason while the
scarcity of supplies left over from the
old crop should operate to advance
prices for another crop still in the
ground and which gives promise of
furnishing an abundant yield. but it is
the history of markets that the infiu-
ence of a squeeze invariably extends
far beyond the limits of option direct
ly effected and there is every evidence
that the present bull movement in Liv-
erpool will succeed in putting prices
there considerably higher. The news
from Fall River that cut of 1912 per
cent. in wa ges has been decided upon,
to go into effect July IS is looked upon
as a bullish feature. as mills have an
nounced their willingness to go to
work on full time as soon as this cut
is accepted by their employees. This
means. of course that all mills which
can get sufficient cotton to run their
spindles until new crop is available
viii run full time. but even the demand
created by this increased consumption
would have a marked effect upon the
spot situation. especially in conjunction
with the manipulation now going on III

Buried Three Days in a Wolf Den.
From the Kansas City Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal.
An Oklahoman named Lawson had
an unpleasant experience while visit
ing his brother-in-law, Milo Blodgett,
who lives near Adobe Walls in the
Texas Panhandle. Lawson went wolf
hunting alone.
Next day his horse was found sad
died, but without a bride. Blodgett
summoned about thirty neighbors and
began searching for Lawson, who was
located after nearly a days hunt. His
feet were sticking from the top of
wolf den and about three feet Of dirt
rested on his body. Lawson was so
fastened that he could not extricate
himself. He had dug down in the
wolf den about five feet on a slant IN
a manner something like the entrance
10 a dugout then lay down in the
trench to reach in after some coyote
pups. He caught one and threw
out, and it is supposed that this fright
ened his horse, which was tied to
bunch of bear grass near the hole.
The horse making a lunge caused the
bank to cave. the dirt falling on the
PROSTATE body of the man, covering
his body and head. The dirt caught
him with his arms stretched out ~
front so he could not use them to mucn
advantage, but he managed to WORK
his hands and shove the dirt down the
hole until his head was uncovered ana
he could get air from the top. He lay
in this position from o'clock Thurs
day afternoon till 10 o'clock Sunday
morning.

HAYWARD, WICK & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.

Daily Cotton Letter from New
York.
New York, July 13.-The market
opened firm at an advance of 3 to 7
points on the old and to 9 points on
new in response to cables that war
ranted a gain of about 20 points on the
near positions. The weather in the
South was excellent and the South was
the leading seller, offerings from this
source absorbing the local demand.
Following the call prices worked up to
a net gain of about Is points on the
near months while the new crop ruled
irregular around the opening. Later
Liverpool eased off and worked
slightly lower but showed a steady
undertone on continued covering and
what seemed to be a rather less
bearish average of speculative opinion
so far as the immediate future was
concerned.
Larger spot sales in the South, the
good spot demand in Liverpool, talk
of reduction in wages would be follow
ed by full time in Fall River and re-
ports of large freight engagements for
shipment to Liverpool, was bullish on
the old crop. On the other hand moth
ing could be more favorable than the
character of the weather, and it seems
hard to doubt that the largest crop of
the history is making. We can only re-
peat what we have said recently, that
sentiment is Indifferent or bullish on
the near months and bearish on the
late positions. For the immediate flu
ture the market bids fair to rule irreg-
ular and will probably be sensitive to
comparatively unimportant items. 1t
is a good scalping market, but hardly
attractive to operations for. a long
pull, there are too many uncertainties
for that and the crop is by no means
sure

wire houses with Southwestern con-
nectiOns and ruled rather easier dur
ing the balance of the session. Shorts
showed a disposition to cover on all
dips and there was some indication Of
support from bullish sources, but the
market was finally barely steady, with
the old crop about 2G9 points higher
while the new crop, closing al the icw-
est, showed net losses of 4d5 points,
thus further increasing the premiums
on the new positions.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales
Private wires from New Orleans stated
that cotton was opening in Central
Texas and that ginning would begin
about Aus. /.
There was some complaint of she'd
ding received from the South, and Dali
las reported that the temperatures
were too high, but the crop accounts,
as rule, were favorable.

PANAMA MERCHANTS
ALREADY DISSATISFIED.
DO Not Like the Establishment of
Custom Houses.


Panama, July 13.-The decree of Gov.
Davis, establishing a custom house in
the canal zone, has created exciting
comment here. The principal mer-
chants of Panama and Colon assem-
bled in the Commercial Club to-day to
discuss the situation, and unanimously
decided that the establishment of GUS
tom houses in such form means the
ruin of the commerce of Panama and
Colon and consequently of the repub-
lie
The Canal Commissioners and the
officers of the government have dis
cussed the question, which is believed
by all to be extremely serious, unless
the decree be revoked and the inter-
ests of Panama considered.
This morning the steamship City of
Pekin of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company arrived from San Francisco,
which port she left June IS. On ar
irving at Corinto the City of Pekin got
clearance papers. for Ancon, the Amer
lean port in the canal zone, and to-day
the captain of the port of Panama re-
fused to receive the steamer, claiming
that under the treaty with the United
States all ports in Panama are under
jurisdiction of the Panaman authori-
ties

contracts that operates against de-
cline. Crop news is fine, never better,
but if the market always kept on go
ing down on good crop prospects or
going up on bad news, there would
never be a halt in either direction. For
the shortage in the future market has
about offset the good crop accounts. II
now depends on developments whether
the covering continues and shorts get
in or whether things quiet down and
we begin to sag again. There does not
seem to be much inducement to buy
on an advance of this kind, the adj
vance has not gone far enough to in
duce short selling. On a break we
would buy and we would look to see a
further advance before going short.
Prices are not high in view of the
shortage that exists and it will be
many weeks before we get much new
cotton to furnish relief. Weather is
fine
