were not bad. but there were further
rains in western sections where they
are believed likely to be more harm
than good and altogether there was
enough of a bullish nature in the mar
ket to cause shorts some uneasiness art
er the recent sharp decline. The week
ly crop report at midday was thought
likely TO prove bearish. but was suffi-
GENTLY uncertain TO help in the cover
ing movement which continued all the
forenoon with Wall street the South
and Europe fair buyers.
Market Worked Upward.
Prices ruled rather irregular, meet
ing frequently with slight set backs,
but in a general way the market work
ed upward. The weekly bureau report
indicated a general improvement in
cotton, but mentioning an excess Of
moisture in some sections and damage
in portions of Texas from boil weevil
was hardly as favorable as expected. II
had little influence on the market
however, but along in the middle OF the
afternoon reports of a better spot de-
mand and large exports chiefly from
New Orleans to Great Britain caused
scare of shorts and ran July up to
II .5sc, net gain of AZ points, while Oc-
tober sold at 9. soc and December at
sic; net gains of 29@30 points.
Sold August Heavily.
About five minutes before the close
a leading room broker representing a
Wall street wire with New Orleans con-
nections became a heavy seller chiefly
of August offering that position down
bout points. The other months went
off slightly in sympathy. and the list
was finally barely steady, net % to ~
points higher. Sales were reported of
$50 900 bales

Report That Spinning Interests En-
tered Market.


New York. June THE cotton flu
ture market to-day opened steady with
first prices at AN advance of 2 to 9
points. There was active covering by
the shorts and the buying from this
source was promoted by better cables
from the English market. There were
further rains in the Western section of
the belt. and these reports served to
encourage buying for a turn by certain
professionals. on the better levels
there was quite a bit of selling. but tne
cotton was generally pretty we'll taken,
the foreign houses giving good support.
Wall street interests were moderate
buyers and there was further talk that
the spinning interest was taking on
considerable cotton. The weekly gov
eminent crop report attracted consid-
cradle attention. The report as a whole
was quite bearish indicating a good
condition Tor the crop. but some PAGES
reported lack OF cultivation and under
the circumstances the bulls refused to
sell out. On the other hand, consider
ing the tenor of the bureau report, the
buying was quite commendable, and
some of the shorts became alarmed in
the afternoon and covered on a mod
crate scale. Spot cotton was steady IN
tone, and there was fair demand with
continued small offerings. Port re-
ceipts to-day 4.000 against 6,7S3 last
week, and 2.079 last year. For the week
1900, against 1886 last week. and I3.
029 last year. Receipts at Boston $50
against 407 last year, while at New Or
leans there were S9l. against 1,134 last
year. The late market was a little
nervous. but generally there was a
somewhat better feeling. AS stated in
our letter OF a few DAYS since, we
thought the market would be over
sold. Certainly at the prevailing fig
ures. we would not advise the sale OF
cotton, this of course. is said advisedly

encouraging as sales amounted 10 only

futures were considerably better than
