SHEPPARD & GLUcK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, La, July 1S.-War news
put the cotton market higher today in the face
of much rain in the belt, outside of Texas,
where the drOuth is worse than ever. News of
the counter offensive by the French and Amer
lean forces reached the market around the open
ing and had immediate stimulating effect.
The gain was widened until the active months
were SO to 81 up, July being the strongest posi-
uon' Inc strength OF July can be explained
only by short covering, which came about de-
spite the many reports of new cotton in unusual
volume in Texas.
The counter blow by the allies was regarded
as Important because it may mark the begin
ming of a new phase of tue fighting of this
summer. The action of the market today made
it plain that prices will rise very readily when
ever the entente scores
The detailed weather bureau returns indicated
that the drouth has been relieved over good
portion of the belt. Moreover, shOwery weather
is generally forecast for that portion of the belt
east of the Mississippi river. Texas remains
the bad spot in the cotton region. Tele-
grams from that state tell of much prema ture
opening of bolls and, thus, while the early
movement will be large, in consequence, it will
be ct the expense of the total yield. The mar
ket acts healthy and responds readily TO buying
which expect VIII con tinue if war reports re
main favorable in the near future
