Early In the season 1t was suggested
that the Carlisle Indians We're likely TO
turn out an eleven which would be able
To make any team in the country play

verified, largely through the fine work
OF Bemus Pierce, who has had the red
men in charge.
His quick insight into the possibilities
Of the new rules induced him 10 teach
his eleven a style OF play that has been
complimented wherever Carlisle has ap-

 The present stage of the river. how eyer, is far below the danger line, about nine feet. and as there was cessation of the rains this morning. flow.
 The leading manipulator at New York Issued another bullish circular today, respondents report no increase in the acreage, that the crop is ten days later than last year and probably poorer than that of one year ago, and that the large increase in sales of fertilizers resulted in great measure from the demand for fertilizers for other crops than cot ton,
 News from the spot market gradually hardened. the tone changing from steady to firm, and it was said that fair business was being put through at an advance of about 1-16.
 The days developments being in fa- .vor of the long side, futures received good support from the very opening of the market.
 Aside of the wet weather. north of Waco, weather conditions throughout the belt were more favorable normal conditions again prevailing, the aver age of the cotton region figuring 61 degrees, or 10 degrees higher than on the same day in the big crop year of '04.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER
By Private Fire to L0veman & Co.,, 8,
 Commerce Street.

New Orleans, May 16.-A strong Liv- erpool, excessive rains in North Texas, and an improved demand for spot cot ton were a combination of bullish in- f1uences that the bears were unable to cope with today. Despite their desper- ate endeavors to keep the market down. ,,n,oa an adyansing ad tendency s gradually de- to the level of 11.53 for July contracts. Around this level profit-taking by sat tsfied longs set in, and was the chief feature of the late afternoo ntrading.
 The continued large spot sales in Liverpool, while accounted for, in a measure by the fact that spots in that market are relatively cheaper than on that spnners are becoming alarmed over the crop outlook, and are prepar- ing against a possible famine in the
 Cables stated that Russia was a a buyer of spot cotton in Liverpool, a report which we are inclined to believe. as 1t is wel1-known fact that the spin ners, of that country have allowed their stock to diminish, owing to the dis turbed political conditions which have existed there for a long time. Buying more in evidence In this market lately, and we are of the opinion that many European spinners have held off buy ing till the last possible moment, and will be forced to go into the market and buy regardless of the price, unless they are prepared to accept the alter native of closing their mills for lack of cotton to keep their spindles run ming.
 Our private advices in regard to the general condition of the crop are not of an encouraging nature. Too much wet weather Is reported in North Tex as; while the crop in the southern and central portions of the State is suf- fering from drought, a condition not yet generally known. Complaints of lice and rot are coming from Georgia while private correspondence from all parts of the belt confirms the report ed damage by the recent fros.s. As we view the situation. cotton is a pur- vance to a much higher level, even if there were no powerful bull cliques in New York, whose object IS to exact have the rashness to sell short of a staple whicn the whole world badly needs.

COTTON.

New Ydkk. May 1s-American rniddlIng is today ubotsd in Liverpool at 6.2t pence. This allowing for tare. is the equivalent of over Ia cents in American money. In the face of such conditions. the folly of selling a crop. yet hardly planted on basis Of 10 % cents for next October delivery must be apparent -
 Tn my opinion the world requires and will take. all that Is left of this years crop and all that may be produced next year at prices much higher than those now current
 Nearly all the staple requirements Of civ fIized life such as lrou tin copper. bricks lumber and clothing not to mention host of less important artices ate sel''rs. at near ly double the price they brought nVe yeaif ago - ,
 There is in my opinion. no reason why cotton should be an exception.

NAVAL STORES.

Savannah, Ga.. May 16.-(Special) J. Following the announcement during the early part of the week from Flori- da that Jacksonville was an open mar ket and would compete with Savannah in the naval stores business. several hundred casks of spirits of turpentine which evidently could not be handled in the "open market" of the Palmetto State were rushed into this port. The additional stuff added to the already heavy receipts proved more than the market could stand despite the very excellent demand which has existed for weeks past and a weakening which could very naturally be expected devel- oped and prices dropped on Monday however in the late trading practically every cask on the market was taken at 62 12c.
