After Close of Liverpool, Selling Orders | Went to New York from New Or leans-Small Final
 Changes.

New York. July 13.-The cotton mar Aet opened firm at an advance of scr Doints on the old crop and of 5M9 points on the new crop months, with shorts coverings as a result of contin- sued bullish advance from Liverpool where 10000 bales of spot cotton were 4old. at an additional gain of 14 Eng 1fsh points. Following the call the old months which at first had been more Tor less neglected seemed to be in some demand and increased gains to mat ter of about Is points with July selling at 1000 and August at 30. while the new crop positions depressed by excel lent weather accounts, but maintained by the firm cables and the uneasiness of shorts over the season position, !, hung about steady around the initial figures. After the close of Liverpool. which was we'll down from the top, the local market met with continued sell with southwestern connections and ruled rather easier during the balance of the session. Shorts showed dispo- sition to cover on all dips and there bullish sources but the market was finally barely steady with the old crop about 2@9 points higher while the new rrop closing at the lowest showed net losses of to points thus further in creasing the premiums on the new po- Bitions. Sales were estimated at 250,- Orleans stated that cotton was opening nn Central Texas and that ginning would begin about August 1.
 There was some complaint of she'd Hing received from the South and Dal- las reported that the temperature was too high. but the crop accounts as a kule were favorable.

LIVERPOOL COTTON FUTURES.
Caldwell. Ward & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The strength in Liverpool continues unabated and spinners are actively taking more than their full consumption daily, which is unusual at this season of the year and especially in view of the scant stocks hand in Liverpool Sales today were 10000 at an advance of 14 points. Futures after establishing quite a substantial improvement lost a good DOT tton of 1t under heavy selling orders from this side. The breaking of the long wet spell which hung over the cotton belt for marking the end of the present advance in tl. winter months.
 Telegrams giving glowing accounts of the crop conditions were numerous and there was aggressive short selling. especially in the latter part of the day. The easly gain was all lost and prices closed 4 to 6 lower than last night for distant months. but 2 to up on near positions.
 There does not seem to be any valid req son why 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 kets that the influence of a squeeze invar- iahly extends far beyond the limits of the option directly affected and there is every evidence that the present bull movement in Liverpool will succeed in putting prices considerably higher. The news from Fall River that cut of 12h in wages has been decided upon to go into eject July 25 IS looked upon as a bulish feature as mills nave announced their willingness to go back upon full time as soon the cut is accepted by their employees This means of course that all mills which get sufficient cot ton to run their spindles until the new crop

 NEW YORK. July 13.-The cotton future market today opened quietly. but firm in tone with first prices 3 to 9 points higher the late positions showing the greater strength. The buying traced largely to the bears. shorts being inclined to cover their contracts The cables from the Eng fish market were better than looked for and the Southern advices reflected a bet ter cash demand. spinning interests being credited with inquiring about the spot cot ton markets The weather however was quite favorable and the forecast indicated that the favorable conditions will be main tained. Under the circumstances. the South ern interests in the speculative market were inclined to sell and the houses with New Orleans connections dropped consiI- erable cotton during the day. The demand from the shorts decreased as the day wore on, and with offerings somewhat heavier the market worked down little and be- came rather easy, although on the lower levels there was fair amount of scattered buying. The cloth market advices were without special features. although private cables from Liverpool indicated the likeli- hood of a better trade with the Far East The private telegrams from the South re- flected favorable line of crop reports, all though 1t was evident that the boil weevil operations in the Southwest were beginning to attract considerable attention. The port receipts were figured at 3.10O, against l. 925 last week and 767 last year For the week the port receipts were estimated at 12.000. against 10.525 last week and 545s last year. Houston got 153 today and New Orleans 2037.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 CHICAGO, July 1s.-Demand for wheat from Eastern millers today gave fears of a serious shortage in the crop and caused a net gain of %c in September. Corn is up %c; oats < Q %c and provisions un- changed to 10c higher.
 Nearly everything in the way of news to- day tended to induce strength in wheat Doubt has entered the minds of traders as to whether the size of the crop will per- init any surplus for export. Orders from the Northwest and Southwest were abun- dant and crop damage reports came from all the winter wheat country Sem tember opened firm a shade lower to K a A c higher at s6b to S6% and sold up to s7 4 Cables were bullsh. A gain of 3c a bush el in July at Duluth under strong demand from millers in the East the most po- tent of the late influence, causing an ad- vance of hc in that option here and cor responding strength in the other deliveries The top prices did not hold owing to heavy liquidation by longs with profits which set fin toward the close. September closed at s6M as7 Primary receipts were 2s7,soo bushels, against 423, 200 a year ago Clear ances equaled 7s.470 bushels. Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported 215 cars
 Corn acted independently and ruled strong ter being estimated in some instances at from 20 to 25 per cent. On such news and higher prices scored by wheat, September corn was a shade to Ac higher at the start at 4s%a4s%. and sold up to 4sh a4s%. closing form at 49h. Receipts 95 cars
 Oats were fairly active and strong. The IirHness or other grains was partly the reason. but threatened disappearance of contract oats from local stocks was also A factor. September opened a shade lower at BIZ and touched 32& and closed at 32h Receipts, 42 cars.
 Wholly at to the outcome of the strike. there was disposition among pro- vision traders to reduce lines. In spite of large offerings however there was a bull ish tendency generally and holders were able to sell out at firm prices.

 NEW ORLEANS. July 1s.-Liverpool seems to hold the whip handle of the sit- uation. manipulators there seem bent on driving shorts to cover and spinners to in crease their holdings At one time today futures in the English market wn-s up K point for summer months, 14 for . ots and new crop months were advanced to 2 points in sympathy Advices of improved weather conditions in the South. however, resulted in a lowering of values during the last hour of the session. Old crops finally closing to 2 points up. new crop months about higher than last nights closing.
 Private cables from Liverpool remarked that squeeze was inevitable. manipulators being able to put July-August at any price. as tenderable stock was disappearing rapid ly on account of the big spot demand. and as spinners are frightened, 1t is thought the demand will continue on account of good trade.

c. E. PIERCE 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

tBy Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay) NEW ORLEANS. July 13.-Prices in Liv- ners' takings of spots at much higher prices begin to assume greedy appearance Scanty stores are being diminsted at a good pace and with a continuance of the price rate of absorption new cotton should be in excellent demand in that market Spinners were contented to buy for immediate wants until an incentive for protection was de veloped by manipulation, a continuance of which was reported in cables. Without more of an improvement in demand for goods. 1t may however. be expected that the output of the looms will be confined quite strictly to thrilled contracts Par tially only was the response in our market to the higher levels reported in cables
 Selling orders became fairly conspicuous i'm mediately after the opening and caused low CT prices to prevail when a wave of short covering brought about a reinstatement of first figures. recessions again being re- corded when the demand from this source was satisfied. The entire range of these movements on winter months being only from to 10 points When trade conditions are considered. another army has been add ed to the unemployed by the strike among the labor of the largest packing plants in the country. some 50.000 people are said to be involved. The comparative calmness With which the crippling of the industry Is taken by the concerns involved and the assurance they seem to feel that a suffi- ciencY of hands can readily be had to con duct their business in proportion great enough for requirements. argues both fuli Knowledge of poorer trade and the enormous amount of idle labor obtainable. We must see decided improvement in these condi- tions before we can expect the consumer to be more than a reluctant purchaser of the product of mills The disquietng feature of the market is the existence of manipula- ton, placing operators in position where their Judgment of crop probabilities is of small value when quick turns are contem- plated. With the vanishing of this cloud opinions will again have conditions less H. lusive to contend with.
