NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER,
from JnO. +. Clark & Co.
by Abe Silyer.)

NEW ORLEANS, May 26-Liver-
pool failed to meet an advance and
showed futures IL to II lower than
due with spot prices 3 up, sales 5000
bales. However, there was some rally
in the last hour.
The absence of foreign news in the
press is significant, as it is known
that large war operations are in pro-
gress in Eastern Europe and the near
East. The advance in German marks
is causing a wrong impression and
construction. The advance in German
exchange is on account of the bearish
reason that trade with that country
is practically nil because of financial
and political uncertainty.
The weather map showed fair the
entire western half of the belt. Cen
orally cloudy eastern half with gen.
aral precipitation in Alabama, East
arn Tenn, and most Of the Atlantics,
but mostly light to moderate except
