COTTON PRICES
 RECOVER LOSSES While Somewhat Irregular the
 Close Is Firm BULL SUPPORT IS GOOD Market Opens With no Advance Then Sells Higher and After Fluctua- tion the Close Is About at
 the Best.
BULL SUPPORT IS GOOD

New York, June 25.-While somewhat nervous and irregular the cotton market was generally higher today, with the close firm at a net advance of 19 to 16 points. The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 2 points, and dur ing the first few minutes the market sold 6 to points net higher on bull support and covering, due to better cables than expected and reports indicating deteriora- tlon for the month for the crops of Geor- gia and Alabama; particularly severe in the latter state.
 At first the bullish crop news, being modified to some extent by a favorable weather map, did not seem to stimulate much buying for long account over the week end and during the middle of the day prices sagged off to practically the closing figures of last night under scat tering liquidation. There was, however, no sign of bear pressure, and in the after noon a buying movement was started by reports of higher spot markets, very bull ish gossip concerning the position of July contracts in New Orleans and private wires complaining of further rains in the central belt. The advance started by this demand attracted more general buy ing, and the market during the last hour was very active and firm. selling within a point or two of the higher records made on last Wednesday. The close was at practically the best. Southern spot mar kets officially reported early were un- changed to 1-16c higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 5067 bales, against 3749 last week and 4990 last year. For the week, 30,OOO, against 39,540 last week and 43, 423 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans, 22S2 bales, against 1908 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, June 25.-(Special )-After a lull this forenoon the bulls became az gressive, and with their activity came re- ports of exceedingly high temperatures in Texas, a good demand for spot cotton and short covering demand here The market has firm undertone and 1t takes but little to advance prices. There Is no doubt that the crop has suffered in Geor- gia and Alabama recently. and a local newspaper places this at about 10 per cent. Sellers are dissuaded by this from any long stay upon the short side, and the market Is in a highly nervous condi- ton with moderate business in hand.

New Orleans. June 25-Cotton spots were firm, 1-16c higher. Middlng, Il 5-16c; sales, 975 bales on the spot and $50 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady, 1 to points up on the active months as a result of bull fish advices from abroad. There was much steadier tone to the market than yesterday. All tenders on July contracts were cared for and leading bulls in the local market not only received the notices but bid for additional large blocks at prices higher than at the close yesterday. Bullish crop reports from Alabama and Georgia also served to stimulate the mar ket and give it a tendency to seek higher levels. Many points reported that long continued rains have prevented eultiva- tion and that the plant is small. At the close, which was firm, the active months were 19 to 9 points above the close yes terday.t
