loyeman 8 Cos Market Letter.

BY II. g. B. Beer.
AS yet the market shows no decided
tendency to work one way or the other
continuing to fiuctuate in the neighbor-
hood of $50 for July. Liverpool was a
little better than looked for, closing l to
2 points higher than yesterday, but spot
sales there were small. 5000 bales at un-
changed quotations. Middling 4.2S. Ca
bles from the English market expressed
the opinion that future course of values
would be governed by weather condi-
lions and prospects for the new crop.
Further showers were reported from the
central and eastern portions of the cot
ton region this morning, and private
wires reported local rains in Mississippi
and Alabama today. A killing frost was
reported from Amarillo, in the panhandle
of Texas; from Ailene, Tex, and from
Nashville, Tenn. but as no cotton is up
In these sections no damage was done.
The storm is moving eastward across
the continent on its way to the Atlantic.
and in its wake there are indications
favorable for spell of favorable dry
weather which is the official forecast for
the southwest for tonight and Thurs
day.
