NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New OrleaAs, June 4--Spot cotton closed firm and l-lSc higher; middling 12 s-l6c. Sales were 1.l25 bales on the spot ana sSe to arrive.
 After fifteen minutes excitement the ef- feet of the government condition and acre age report today was to steady market which had been previously nervoasly 'iuc- tuating within somewhat wide margins. Ar ter opening steady at four to eight points higher than the Saturday close. the actlFe months gained to five points ard then began to sell down. October dropped rom 12. 40 it's highest. to 12 20 and then went five to six points lower as the hour for me reuort approached. A short delay in an ncuncing the report caused October to bound up again about to 12. 20. Then when the condition figures were announced there was an instant break running from fifteen to twenty points in the active months, oc- tober dropping twenty points in half dog en sales and December dipping below lae per pound
 This is the first time in week that any New Orleans option has gone under l2e When traders stopped to consider the gov ernment figures bullish interpretation was given and the market within ten mQiutes regained all its losses Tho break was ac- counted for by the extreme tension under which the report had been awaited and me fact that it was little better than many had hoped for. Prices closed steady e,sRt to thirteen points under Saturday.

The monthly, condition estimate of cotton, however, was given first importance
 
 and excited movement of prices which followed its publication made, it dif- ncult to construe the traders view on the tip This was partly due to the extended position on the long sideSin cotton which induced heavy profit taking and partly to the misunder- owing to the revision of last years figures.
 The, showing of the report however, served to confirm the conviction of present low condffTopc In nnA it's dependence on good weather for favorable outcome. Paris took more gold from London today and discounts was firm, also at Paris, and and there was every indicatione that considerable sum of gold would be taken here to. good deal of discussion was aroused by the, contention of the National City Bank in it's monthly circular, that this like bank note Imitation, with the effect of stimulating the export of gold.
