Loveman & Co.'s Market Letter.

Despite a good Liverpool, where spot sales amounted to 12,000 bales, further liquidation of July contracts both here and in New York, carried prices down with rush early in the day Big bulls came to the rescue In this market, but before the decline could be checked, July had sold as low as 1076c Fresh buying and covering by those who were caught short by the sudden rebound a sharp re- action, subsequently, easier, but the mar ket ruled comparatively quiet for the rest of the day.
 Spots were reported quiet and un- changed with only moderate sales, which included 600 bales bought by w. P. Brown & Co. after hours yesterday
 The ease with which the market reacted today would seem to indicate that the bull leaders here and in New York, have not vet lost control of the situation. Strong spot interests were reported as large buyers of July on the break in New York while men who are closely identified with the spot trade here were as active around the ring when the de- clining tendency was most marked. Llv- erpool spot sales we're encouragingly large today, and cables stated that there was a good demand from spinners, who evil dently realize the fact that a space of at least three months time will have to in- tervene before any supply of cotton from the new crop Will De aValldple over tnere. The liquidation in July, for the time being, at least Is apparently over, and as there is undoubtedly a large short interest in the new crop months. extreme conservatism on the short side would seem to be advisable for the present. During the late afternoon session, re- ports of hot winds fin Texas were re- ceived, and should this unfayorable con- dition become general over that state, some tall covering in the new crop months would probably ensue. @

Mr. MacfaTland said he saw no one city
