NEW ORLEANS. June 17.--According to
press advices careful canvass of situation
in the cotton belt has been made for Duns
review by branch offices of r. G. Dun g.
Co. throughout the South. and returns show
prospects for a large yield of cotton, there
being less than the customary amount of
injury from the elements and insects, while
reports as to acreage are unanimous In show
ing a material increase. Our own advices.

tering character. Tuscaloosa and Demopolis,

VIRGIN 8 FAUNCE's COTTON LETTER.
Eca..ac Iarivata Inasaa LIrira


NEW YORK. June 17.-There was some
difference of opinion between traders in the
cotton future market today and consequent
" at times the old crop months were very
weak, while the new crop positions were
relatively strong The general market
opened weak at a decline Of IL to IL points
for the old crop months and a decline Of
to IL points on the new months. There
was active liquidation early in the day on
bearish advices from the English market
and favorable weather advices which
couraged bearish Views regarding the crop
However. the new crop months were bought
quite freely for the account of local shorts
The foreign houses were also buyers of the
fall months while some of the Wall Street
interests took on fair lines Of December cot
ton. The South was the best seller Of the
old crop positions. and July was driven to
the lower point. The New Orleans advices
TOLD of a featureess market for spot cotton
with no demand. 1t figured that spot
cotton to be sold on the basis of July would
have to be offered half lower than earlier
in the week. Spinning interests did prac-
tcally nothing in either spot or the future
market. The late market continued rather
irregular. The insight for the week was
figured at Ats for 1904 and for 1903
$3.50, and for 1902 $3.50 The estimated
port receipts for the day were figured at
8. 500. against $500 for the same day last
year

NEW YORK. June 17.-To say the least,
this afternoons market has been very
narrow one and while there has appeared
to be hard fight for supremacy between
the leading bulls and bears with legitimate
conditions apparently favorins the latter.
little has been accomplished in the way of
fluctuations. Friday appears to have be-
come a day of evening up owing to the
usual narrowness of Saturdays market and
1t looks as though on the rally just before
the close local shorts were taking profits
in anticipation of bad weather reports over
Sunday. Spot people continue to complain
spot cotton in place of which they are ap-
parently buying fall and winter goods in
the market. The South Is generally sup
posed to be selling large quantity of flu
ture cotton against the new crop Most of
this is by people who will not be frightened
at the first bit Of unfavorable news that
comes along Liverpool sold some August
here early, but was not active either way
after the first 20 minutes. Everything in
dioates lower prices at present and with
the exception of shorts covering there is no
prospect of a rally. Southern spots from
y to " down. New York market 80 points
lower. On New York's close tonight Liver
pool is due to down Old and 1 down

New York June 1.-THE cotton mar

points with the old crop months show
ing the greatest losses under liquidat-
ion and bear pressure following very
disappointing English cables and con-
tinued favorable weather The new
crop months continued to show relative

large short interest and buying by spot
houses and spinners in spite of the per-
sistent selling by wire houses with
southern connections. said to represent
the operations of planters hedging
their prospective crops as a result of
the recent improved growing condi-

SUFFICIENT to prevent decline in the face
of the weakness of June and July and
of the indications for continued faVora-
BILE weather and in the early afternoon
the whole list ruled very weak with
July breaking through the IL cents
mark to 1923, while August sold at

9:4S, these being at losses of thirty
four to thirty-siX points on the old crop
and of 10 to 10 points on the new crop
position.
Later the market was a little stead
Ser on covering and reports of large
cIearances from New Orleans, but was
finally, at just about the lowest level
of the session, steady in tone at a net
decline of 80 to 95 points on the old
crop, a decline of Is to II points on the
new crop months. The old crop posi-
lions showed great sensltiveness dur
ing the entire session, selling down
easily and then rallying several points
on comparatively light orders In a
general way the selling seemed to
come from New Orleans and the South,

He deprecated the feeling OF race
