 New Orleans. La, July l7.-The approached the more interested will the trade become as to the probabilities of the South providing ample supplies or raw cotton to meet the requirements of the world next season. AS an inai- cation of what might be required by mills the coming year, the latest of report on takings by :Pinners or Eu rope. issued by Mir. Ellison will prove run to their full capacity. including those of the new mills now in course or construction on the two continents. During the month of June 1t Is said that consumed 1s3.O0O bales per week more oy. 1000 bales than in any months heretofore and more by 5000 bales than the average weekly takings of last June whlcn were 175,000 bales. These figures are for cotton of all kinds. the takings of which to date. according to The New York Chronicle. are 16,2Sl, ,0Ue bales against 14.646,000 one year ago an increase of 1.635.000 bales. which IS represented by 1.171.O00 Aore of Amer ican than last year and 46A.0OO more or kinds other than American.
 In relation to the cotton goods dtvis- ion of the trade a1viccs from New York are to the effect that the up- ward tendency of .ae market continues. and while open advances were deciareo in numerous nnes, the views of sell CTS generally are even firmer than they were one week ago.
 Spot supplies are so scarce that thore has been little disposition to attempt, to piace orders for these or for any thing like nearby delivery. hut pur- chasers have been even more persis- tent than in the recent past In the matter Of urging delivery of goods or dercd long ago.
 Complaints of the actions Of manu- lecturers in this matter have been the buyers point of v,ew Is becoming serious In fact. the iHttor consider themselves decidedly hardly used. tor not only<fdo thoy find themselves ua. able to secure goods already Ordercd, but they are faced by continually rising market. The position is sucn now that manufacturers in many cases are refusing to sell more than 70 pcr cent Of their capacity, in an endeavOr to catch up on orders. Therefore. un- der such circumstances, does not the prospects Of the American crop become the all-important factor in the matter of price changes, or we should say as regards the future the course of values since there is every assurance of . full consumption the coming season
 It Is probable that the world will need 100000 of American cotton next year. Have we such a prospect todayI No. not by any means. and the prop abilities are that the years production will not equal an average crop of l1 ~ 800, 900 bales, many being of the opin- ion that a yield of less than 12,0OU.Ovn is not at all unlikely
