NEW YORK, July l2-For the second
time Liverpool has shown that manipulation
is the governing factor. for after a weak
opening decided strength developed in
summer months. the new crop following at
a respectful distance The allies of the bull
clique were active throughout the day and
although the weekly weather report for a
time seemed to make their task of support
ing prices impossible, still the absence of
any general desire to sell gave them an op-
portunity to work the market higher, gradu-
ally, and as prices advanced the uncover
ing of stop orders caused further buying
activity The weekly weather report was

either on the excessive rains so generally
reported in private letters or on the weevIl
about which there was considerable appre-
hension. Since Saturday. however, the con-
tinuance of rains just where they were
not needed has served to make conditions
less favorable than they were at the time
OF the report was concluded. Persistence OF
heavy rains in the Arkansas AMI Mississippi
bottoms are justifying the loud complaints
now coming from those sections. 1t is cal

as the manipulation in Liverpool lasts we
must expect the present situation to con-

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
SIXTEEN POINTS AUGUST ADVANCE
AT OPENING.
Better Demand from spinners and De-
creasing Stock Assigned ms Cause
for Jump, Trading Was
Moderately Active.

New York, July 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened firm at an advance OF 10
points on August and 9 to ID on the
later positions in response to very bull
lish cables from Liverpool. where spot
cotton was 80 English points higher
with sales of 5000 bales and futures
were much higher than expected.
Private cables attributed the advance to
the better demand from spinpers and
decreasing stocks mentioning Also bull
manipulation of the near months. Trad
ing here was moderately active. follow
ing the call the markeh showed irregu-
larity. There was further talk of rain
in central sections of the belt and
traders evidently expected more bull
lish weather bureau report at midday.
But sentiment on the average seemed
to have a bearish leaning on the new
crop positions and these months worked
lower during the early trading while
the new months supported by the small
ness of offerings and the continued
frmness of Liverpool were advanced
to still higher levels with July selling
at 1892 and August at 1913 or net
gains of % to 32 points. The new
crop, after slightly increasing the in
itial gains worked down to about the
opening figures, fluctuating irregularly
around that level until midday. when
the bureau report was received and
proving more bearish than expected,
started active liquidation and selling
by New Orleans brokers with the re-
suit that October broke to 1851 and
December to 9.4S while August de-
clined to about 1854. But broker be-
tieved to represent Philadelphia was a
buyer on the break and the moment
tho bears began to stop selling there
was covering movement that continue
pretty much through the session with
shorts evidently anxious to get out
without risking the chances of a bull
lish set of cables in the morning. In
the last few moments the market sag
ged off slightly, but was finally very
steady net Q to % points higher. Sales
estimated at $4,000 bales. Receipts
at the ports today 1895 bales against
