 New Orleans. July 20.-Liverpool position
 at opening of our market was discourage
 ing to longs; near months 12 down-lower
 than last night, and spots there were re-
 duced 20 points to 6.30 for middling; sales,
 6OOO bales. Private cables explained early
 weakness of English market by stating
 that values were influenced to a lower
 level on account of manipulators selling
 out fear of political complications and a
 smaller demand for spot cotton. Weather
 conditions were favorable in belt well
 distributed rains In Texas and other sec
 tions of the cotton region. New Orleans
 opened steady at a decline of about points Tor winter months. Thereafter be.
 lated Liverpool special began to improve,
 spot sales were increased to 5000 bales, and
 English consois recovered A by closing at SS n-l6 for money, compared with SS 7-16 at noon. Fall River and New York dry goods advices were more favorable, as was news from Manchester more de- mand for cloths, moderate inquiry for yarns. The market was dull but steady; very much so, denoting offerings to be- light in both American markets Crop &C., counts continued avorable-exceedingl so, and notwithstanding some improve
 ment in foreign securities at the close, New York evening newspapers contained grave reports of political developments. Nevertheless shorts showed every sign of being uncomfortable. Arrival of new crop bales are not showing up in numbers large enough, and as 1t was only yester- day that New York's stock was cut down about 13,000 bales by a minus correction of about 5000 bales and liberal exports, the protection in the way of sufficient sup | plies at trading points became less as- suring. This minus correction will figure | in another manner at the end of the week | by reducing the worlds visible supply that much more, and will assist in making 1 the weeks variation figure more bullsh l than would otherwise have been the case had no correction been made. In connec- l tion with probable movement of new cot | ton prior to September 1, there Is every reason to expect liberal amount of new | cotton during August. as crop is not only | opening in one section, scattered districts of Texas reporting new pares. ana open 1 bolls have already been reported from pointh in Louisiana and Mississippi. In ad- l dition to this there Is hanging over the
 market probably developments In politics l which threaten international commerce
 and the peace of the world. After selling at 9.34 December advanced to 9.52. Spots l here closed and unchanged. Sales, HOO;

INITIAL LOSSES
 SOON RECOVERED Cotton Trading Quiet During
 Entire Session OFFERINGS WERE SCARCE Market Toward slose Based of Some what From .he Best and Was
 Finally Steady at Slight Net Decline.

New York, July 20.-The cotton market opened weak at decline of 1Q1s points on the old crop, and of 4Q10 points on the new crop months. The declines were due to moderate liquidation promoted by weakness in the Liverpool market. talk of complications in the European politi- cal situation as a result of the Red Sea episode. generally favorable to private crop reports, and continued favorable weather, But as has been the case re- gently. a fair demand developed at the decline to around 911c for the new crop positions, and Liverpool rallying soon after the local opening with reports of additional spot sales in that market and talk of a better turn in the far east ow- ing to rumors as to the release of Brit ish steamships, the seizure of which by the Russians had precipitated the early anxiety.
 Prices here gradually began to improve, and before long had recovered almost all the initial loss. Trading was quiet dur ing the entire session, but the market continued to show a undertone, and very little cotton appeared to be offering, with the result that prices in the late trading sold up to net advance of 10 to IS points on the new crop while the near months being dull and neglected, 1dlleu to lully respond to the firmness in the latter posi- tions. The market toward the close eased off somewhat from the best, but was finally steady at a net decline of one point on the two old crop months, while later deliveries were net 6 to points higher. Sales were estimated at 150o0o bales.
 Receipts at the ports today were 37SS bales against 1882 last week. and 6S3 last year. For the week 10000 bales against 1O,51s last week and 3726 last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 2,246 bales, against CTS last year. and at Houston 16O against one last year.

Futures opened steady with prices five to ten points lower, influenced by the condition of the Liverpool market at the time our market opened. Private cables reported that England was taking a bel- ligerent attitude towards Russia and the Liverpool market all but went to pieces in consequences. The weather map was ideal and reports from the country could not have been better. With all this, no one displayed any great desire 10 sell short, and offerings were limited; the demand was fairly good and in conse- quence the undertone was strong Shorts showed a desire to take profits and some buying for long account was in evidence and prices soon went well above yester- days close, especially for the new crop positions. In the trading August first lost 16 points at 10.34, advanced to 1O.59 and finally declined to 1053. The market closed steady with July unchanged, Au- gust gained net 3 points and the new crop months to points.

To Control Every Gin.

Spartanburg, September 30 There is
something important taking shape
among the cotton mill men of this sec
tion in reference TO the cotton gins of the
South, according to the statement of a
well posted party of this city, who said
that there was movement on foot for
the cotton mills of the country to secure
control of all cotton gins in the South
with view to gaining control of the
output of the gins just as soon as the
cotton was placed in readiness for being
handled 10y the mills.
"Onc mill owner said the gentleman
who gave out tie information, "who is
now tying to secure an interest iu a
number of gins, with the pirpoSe as
above stated of getting the mills nearer
the raw cotton. and doing away with the
middle man dealer, the hauling from the
gin to the mills, etc"
The basis o' the movement is tho de.
sire on the part OF many miils to got
their hands on the cotton ag soon as it is
ginncd, dispensing with the intermediate
transactions usual IN the buying of cot
ton.
it is the understanding of the schcmc
that the mills are to get possession of the
cotton gins over the country and run
them in connection with the mills.
Continuing, the gentleman interviewed
said "'Tho mills of this section, you may
safely state, are much interested in this
new proposition, and | myself would not
be surprised to see the gins of the coun-
try all in control of The cotton mills,
which will own and operate the gins and
have the raw material right at their
doors. do not know how long it would
take for the plan to matcrIalzc, perhaps
eight or ten years, but the Inauguration
OF this scheme is an important one and
marks an era in the cotton milling bust
ness ot the country.
