During the late afternoon session new longs eVtnc- ed a desire to realize profits, and an easier tendency developed. There was some fresh buying, however, on the ex- pectation of a very d buiiish ,v visipie ,S, snP- ternoon. Spots were officially reported firm and unchanged. Sales amounted to 1875 bales of spots and $50 bales ta arrive Middling was quoted at II been issued thus far concerning the acreage are to be taken as any sort of indication, the government report on June will show an increase consider ably under 10 per cent, which were the figures that the short had in mind when he sold the new crop months so freely sometime Dack.
 We are firmly of the opinion that 2 large speculative short interest still exist in these months. and hence we favor buying October and December on any fair sized decline. The July po- gition, particularly in New York, does not seem to show the same strength that 1t formerly did, and we are inclin- ed to take some stock in the report re- gently wired from New York that the bull leader has been gradually trans ferrine his interest in the market from July to October and December, evident ly believing that speculative possibili- ties in these months are greater than they were In July. The July position in this market. however. is apparently as strong as ever. and we would not advise selling short of 1t.
