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».

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.

DIBBLE Accountant and Auditor, WEEKLY COTTON LETTER. New Orleans, May 4.—Interest (luring the uraay s close. The July and May options appear to be practleully cornered aud are extremely dangerous ou either side. The action of Mr. Price In suing the New York cotton exchange appears to have had a We would continue to base higher prices. Reports from all 1 belt Indicate that at best the crop er.v poor start, and that nwiug to . of seed where re-plantlug Is neces sary, the acreage will not be as large as 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 point to un exhaustlou of desirable grades 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 sumption and cost of production, and the unmistakable tendency toward a higher level of values In all commodities through out tbe world.
