HAYWARD, VICK A CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
New Orleans. May 6.—Liverpool opened
the week with a surprising display of
•trength. Futures, which were due un
changed on old crop aud about fire points
higher on new. showed s gnlu of 10 |>olnts
alT along tbe line «t the time our market
opened. Spot prices were 8 higher: sales
10.000. Covering, In connection with de
structive cotton firea at Bremen and Ham
burg, had new crop uewe and buying on
the opinion, that, with the withdrawal of
the Price Injunction against the New York
cotton exchange, professional activity In
■summer positions might be resumed. caused
the advance. Opening trades here were
at about 14 points higher. These were a
good deal of realising oil the rise, par
ticularly of Julya, but buying orders con
trolled the mnrket. New crops were In
steady demand, «aud Interest In cottou Is
growiug. The weather over Sunday was
worse than predicted, and particularly un
favorable In the middle section of the belt.
Rains continued Incessantly In DmlslHiin,
Mississippi. Arkansas. Tennessee and part
of Alabama. They were particularly heavy
In the delta In Arkansas. Conditions In
tbe eastern and western states were more
favorable, little rslu, and temperatures
seasonable. Crop correspondence from the
central states continue In the saute strain.
No planting imsslhle, seed rotting In the
ground and young cotton dying from ex
cessive moisture following the cold weather.
Situation altogether Is serious. Indications
point to more rain In east Texas and the
north central states, but ou the whole
the outlook Is for more settled weather,
and this caused the market to pause. From
South Carolina we hoar that the crop has
a late stan and la not doing well owing
to rains aud cold weather; that there la
no Increase In acreage and use of fer
tilisers Kkriy; that mills are behind In
filling orders ami well under contract.
Spots are steady but quiet. Only small
business possible on the present outlook.
New York. May 6.—J. I». Radio ft Com
pany: IJverpool market, through manipu
lation. ruled very strong, and our opening
waa at an advance of 10 to 17 points. Rains
f ood ami plenty, were the unfavorable feu-
urea of tbe weather map this morning,
hut temperature* were more seasonable.
The bad crop reports with the fact that
Lancashire weavers have postponed de
mands owing to Bremen Ore was tbe cause
of the upheaval at Liverpool. Iluslmss
was active, and tbe market feverish In the
first hour of trading. The advance In the
Dear months was sharp ou busty covering
of shorts, while the new crop months did
not fall far behind. The senttmeut con
tinues bullish, nod business more active.
Indicating a wider public Interest than
formerly. Until weather conditions change
w« look for steadier prices.

expected. The weekly re|>ort figures show
exports to date 7,723,000, nn Increase over
Inst season of 2.108.000. The world's visible
shows a decrease of 115,000, while spinners'
takings continue heavy and all Indications

Iteforc the next crop Is available. So far
ns the old crop Is concerned, we can not
feel that there Is any legitimate reason for
lower prices, while the present crop out
look Is such that exceedingly favorable
weather conditions must prevail from now
to Insure full yields. We would not
biggest to our friends that they keep
In mind always the rapidly Increasing con

unmistakable tendency toward a higher
