JOHN r. CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, June 2s.-Llverpool quotes
spots unchanged at 1915 for middling; sales
1000 bales. London says a decision has been
reached appoint board of representatives
Of all interests in the cotton industry TO
troll the supply Of raw cotton. The board of
trade agreed that the Liverpool cotton
change may reopen Friday under conditions pre-
venting specus ton. 1t also decided to create
board OF control representing spinners, manu-
facturers. importers, distributors, the principal
associations Of cotton spinners and representa-
lives OF the board Of trade.
The National Ginners condition 10 June %
is 69.3.
Liverpool cable says: --latest advices Of
the Russian cotton crop condition is 10 per
cent less than last year. Crop cannot possibly
equal the present one, as acreage decreased
through the lack Of irrigation and labor.
The weather map shows favorable conditions
partly cloudy TO fair. scattered showers. Pre-
cipitation was rather general over southeast
Texas, east Tennessee and Florida. Indicate
are for partly cloudy, shOwery weather for the
entire belt. The press has numerous reports
from points in louisiana and Mississippi about
beneficial rains in the past few days, reaching
into the northern part OF the state and ranging
Up 20 four inches
Precipitation this time Of the year is
usually in the nature OF showers and, there
fore largely escapes notice by the trade, but
available information shows that rainfall In the
past two weeks has been considerable and COW
ering all states. although not their entire ter
ritOry. The Texas press gives totally differ
ent account Of the crop. Where rains occurred
the crop Is in very promising shape, plants
strong and healthy. danger OF failure by drouth
Is limited 10 some localities.
Expectation OF a very bullish condition and
crop forecast By the government next Monday
Is stiu the dominating influence: market fea-
lures today were the same as yesterday, only
more pronounced at times. Thus the opening
was irregular and lower the first crop
positions, but SO up on March, and the whole
list soon showed so points advance. With such
bullish bureau views in mind there Is the double
pull Of public intention to buy and sellers hold
ing off on the possibility OF a further advance.
The market broke suddenly 40 points
sfter the initial trading. which could be read
further evidence Of discord and that profes-
sionsl longs Iquidating TO outside buyers
on budgets.
