COTTON GOSSIP

Browne. Drakeford & Co, Liverpool.
cable: Market advanced in consequence
of unfavorable weather reports, good
spot demand"
Memphis wires: SALES OF $4,000 bales
Of spot cotton at Liverpool seemed to
denote some eagerness for supplies by
spinners. Our opening advance has not
been well sustained because OF general
profitable taking and forecast for clear
ing in western belt. Sentiment is bull
ish and trade generally believes that
fresh damage by rains has added
strongly e an otherwise well founded
market spot demand is not geferally
bearish and ii remains TO be seen what
view will be taken of damage by rain
when sun begins to shine again, NJ

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says Cotton market talent now has
a more exalted idea of the price levels
than ever, but whether the rings have
hitched their wagon to a star or a
cloud remains to be seen. Liverpool
set the upward pace yesterday. Some
body cabled the foreigner very pessim-
istically regarding the Texas and Ar
kansas crop promise. Then, returning
confidence in the ultimate sanity of the
United States Congress led some people
to believe that many spinners who have
delayed making forward purchases WI
buy in volume in the event the confer
ence committee delivers a scientific cot
ton market law.
ION this side higher prices were pop
ular, first. because the talen expects
good legislation and a bullish demon
stration; second, because some sensa-
tionally bullish crop advices came from
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana
and Mississippi. Hence the advance at
Liverpool Of $3.50 a bale and in Ameri-
ca of nearly as much.
Labor troubles affecting shipping at
Galveston and in England eXerted no
influence. nor did talk of declining tex
tile activity in Europe; nor did the ad-
mitted fact that New Orleans merch-
chants were buying actual cotton in the
interior on a tender and selling Sep
TENDER contracts against such pur-
chase"
