appeared to be excessive The advices from
the South we're generally quite favorable as
regards the condition Of the crop. There
fear that there has been foo much
moisture IN the Southwest, but the conser-
vative elements in the pit generally were
disposed to give a favorable Interpretation
TO the climatic conditions. The movement
of cotton waa pretty fair. but the statistics
in the main were bullish and the indica-
lions pointed TO a light general movement
for the ensuing week The demand for SPOT
cotton was moderate and spinners were not
inclined to DO very much II was stated
however, that some of the spot houses az
the present time control good lines Of Oc-
tober and December cotton. The late mar

g. e. PIERCE CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

NEW ORLEANS. June 2s.-The lower
prices registered in Liverpool options were
about expected and the small net sales
indicated that the appetite of spinners. who
were ravenous buyers at pence higher fig
ures. are easily satisfied at much less
cost. Cables simply reported a quiet but
steady market An apparent willingness of
shorts to cover was the sustaining infiu-
ence in the American markets and although
no unsatisfactory news from the growing
crop was received, prices scored a moderate
Improvement until the demands from this
source were supplied. The weather map
was good one. rains falling in portions of
Alabama where needed and clear weather
prevailing in Texas where there has been
an abundance of moisture Today marks the
closing of data from which the bureau re-
port is compiled. although partly due to
the holidays, ten days will elapse before the
result Of the bureaus work will be given
to the public. pending its reading many
opinions Will be formed as to the final fig
ures. but IL may be quite safely assumed
that material Improvement over last fig
ures of II l will be shown. There has been
no change in crop or trade conditions and
we continue to believe that those who avail
themselves of the opportunity to sell on ad-
vances. frequently dsproportionate with
their basis. will be given ample chance to
accept fair profits.

The topic that has the lead
among our business men this week
is the Commercial Club, and it is
being tAreshed out i'll proper shape.
The only thing that makes it APP
roach being dry subject is that
there is very little chance for Argyll
ment as every one is of the opinion
that it is the thing that we want
The only points on which an Argyll
ment can be founded are mere mat
aers of detail and they are so unim-
portant that they will in no way af-
feet the general purposes of the
organization. We have discussed the
project with every business man
in the city and not one has said any
thing but the most encouraging
words about it, and we believe the
meeting next Monday evening will
be attended by every citizen who
has the best interest of the city and
