j. II. PARKER q CO.'S
Cotton Letter TO Hayward, Wick q
Company.


New York, June 9.-Liverpool cables
were to points better than our clos
ing of last evening, and the sales of
spots were 1000. Our market opened
several points lower, but gradually
worked higher in the forenoon, show
ing resistance to any selling pressure.
There continues to be an absence of
any increased outside buying, and the
strength of the market to-day has
again been due to short covering. In.
fact, the professional element seems
disposed to take the long side for a
turn, but we suspect that this is for
the purpose of laying the basis for put
ting out additional short lines. The
weather news of the day is generally
favorable with the exception that too
much rain is reported also at South
western points. Based on reports from
416 correspondents the Galveston News
gives the increased acreage as 1882 per
cent, and the increase in Indian terri
tory and Oklahoma as % per cent. 1t
further states that conditions are gem
orally favorable, but that boil weevills
are found in same localities as last
year. Some of our Southern corre-
spondents are claiming that labor con-
ditions are worse than last year and
express some doubt as to any real in
crease in acreage and state that it will
be difficult to secure labor to properly
cultivate any increased acreage The
summer options have been quite active
to-day, showing more strength, indicat-
ing that with any encoura cement from
spot sources these options would adj
vance quickly to a higher level. The
market continued to show strength
during the afternoon and closed at the
top.

New York, June 9.-The cotton mar
ket held strong during the entire aft
ernoon session. There has been no
pressure on the list and prices adj
vanced easily all along the line, with
August decidedly in the lead, apparent
ly supported by the big traders whose
idea seemed to be to catch stop orders.
The principal demand was from
shorts. who supplied the larger pro-
portion of strength during the day.
and it seems probable that when the
requirements of part of the trade has
been satisfied, the far options will
again salg off, for with the technical
conditions improving daily, 1t Is hard
to believe in any permanent bull move
ment. and after an advance of some
so points from the low. the weak short
interests ought to be pretty we'll cover
ed; nervous demand for old crop
months from shorts, with good sup
port of New Orleans bull crowd was
the feature of the afternoon trading.
There Was not much cotton offered,
yet local sentiment remains rather
bearish in absence of improved trade
conditions in the dry goods market.

Closed Wen Up.
The new crop positions worked stead
lily upward during the entire session
but July and August were particularly
nervous and erratic responding
promptly to comparatively small orders
either way. July sold up as high as
11.65 just before the close and reached
only point or two from that figure
while the later positions also closed
within a point or so of the best with
the market finally steady at net adj
vance of 1895 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
Aside from the rains in western
sections Of the belt, accompanied by
reports of overflows in some sections
which were said TO be serious enough
to cause Abandonment of some acreage
in Arkansas, the weather was general
~ favorable and seemed to afford lit
tie basis for alarm over crop prospects.
Little Improvement in Spots.
Private advice from the South held
out little immediate prospect for an
improvement in spot demand and the
southern spot markets as officially re-
ported were generally quiet and un-
changed to an advance of u cent with
the local market 20 points higher OH
sales of % bales
Spot houses and Europe were said to
be buying new crop months in the
local market during pretty much the
entire session and New Orleans SEEM
ed to lead in the buying of the old crop
months, while commission houses
generally seemed to be covering new
crop shorts.
Receipts at the ports to-day 1,707
bales, against 1926 last week and 100
last year For the week, $4,000 bales
against 1896 last week and 1929 last
year.

Doesn't Know by Whom.

Crooks and short-change robbers are
beginning to recognize Topeka as a
