Gilbert G. Claws Market Letter.

The closing of Liverpool in Observance
of Whitsuntide holidays which extend
over tomorrow. has impaired an even
further quietness and lack of interest In
the days session of American rings. The
quiet strength of July option continues to
be the sustaining influence of market and
has a decidedly more favorable opinion
in favor of enhanced values
Covering of the short interest in this
month, has been fairly general, and at
the same time the October position found
ready support from local traders, but
the market still stands in need of a broad
err outside speculation.
The influence of the weather seems for
the moment to be lost In the more engross-
ing interest of the outcome of July, all
reports from the belt continue In the main
favorable, but the unequal distribution of
moisture in parts of Texas is beginning to
be sorely felt and has been the cause of
some nervousness on the part of the
trade
Spot transactions in our market are nee
essarily restricted by the small supplies,
which, exclusive of the amount on ship
board and the very low grades linters,
etc, amounts to barely 10000 bales. The
visible supply statement today will in
all probability show small mill takings
owing to the several days cessation OF
business abroad and the unwillngness OF
spinners to buy largely, as exhibited In
| the small daily volume of business done
| this week, with such frequent Interrupt
| tions in the trade.

at the stock exchange. The weeks cur
rency movement did not indicate a large
change in cash reserves of the banks on
the actual movement, but the easy tone
of call money indicated a strong bank
statement The loss reported on sub-treas-
ury operations of $639,000 includes return
of government funds advanced to the
banks against gold imports to an amount
larger than that. and as the gold has ar
rived this loss is Offset. n small gain on
the express movement with the interior
10 also indicated. Gains made last week
figured but slightly in the showing of
averages in which the last bank state
ment was made up and the discrepancy
is expected to be rectifed in tomorrows
statement. A slightly frmer tone was re-
ported for time money today due to de-
crease in the amounts offering. The
sterling exchange market continues to adj
vance in response to the easier money
conditions and demand for remittance
against maturing finance bills was said
to be an important factor in that mar
ket. Attention was given to published ex-
pressions by prominent banking official
in a tone of warning against any assump-
ton of security against money stringency
beyond the immediate future, and pointing
to the requirements still unmet for pay
ment of San Francisco insurance losses,
and the transportation of assets yet to be
effected on that account. The continuance
of the injunction against the enforce
ment of the S0-cent gas law pending a
decision In the suit to test It's constitu-
tionality. added to the feverish f1uctua-
tons in Consolidated Gas. The sharp rally
in the wheat market was given as a
cause for the late weakness in stocks, but
the growing disposition to realize as the
Gay progressed has been a feature of the
market each day this week The closing
was easy.

Ware & LeIand,s Market Letter.

While the week has been characterized
by extremely narrow fluctuations since the
first report of the season on Monday de-
velopments have been such as to lead to
more or less interest in the staple, that
is to say weather news has assumed more
prominence and from now on climatic
conditions will prove of paramount i'm
portance The government report itself
showing an increase of but about six and
a half per cent in acreage and a condi-
ton of about .s41a was hardly as bearish
as the majority expected and after 1t
was issued prices advanced sharply, only
to slip off to the low level touched last
week.
At this point 1t was evident that the
amount of cotton for sale was not such as
to force prices lower and an extensive
short interest began quietly to cover their
commitments
The argument appeared to be that mas
much as the best possible news was at
work in the market and prices failed to
work below 1914 cents. any change for the
worse in crop news would lead to short
covering and something of recovery.
It is not unfair to say that there are
sections of the cotton belt, where weather
is now such and has been for some time,
that more moisture will be needed in order
to prevent a small crop scare.
In south western Texas rain is badly
needed and here as well as in sections of
the Atlantic states temperatures have
been rather high and conditions are not
such to set all minds at rest regarding the
favorableness Of crop conditions
With goods rains in these sections the
situation would be greatly improved AS
1t is II looks as though 1t would be rath-
err difficult for the average condition to
show an Improvement in July. and IL this
comes to be generally anticipated there
will of course be small ground for a fur
there break at this time.

quoted firm at an advance of 1sc. middling

mixed and the spot demand dominated the
situation, and put July up strongly until
1t was 10 points higher than yesterdays

vanced to points. A fair business
was done all day in spite OF the fact that
Liverpool was closed. Toward the clos
ing profit taking caused a moderate re-
action and the market closed steady at
a net advance of points on July and
net decline of point on the other ac-
tive positions.
