Trade was active. The opening In the Ltveroool market Wed nesday was again lower than due, and waa discouraging, in view of the'poor crop advices being received through private sources.

Cold weather prevailed In the northern half and extensive rains occurred in the western and central states. More rain is Indicated for the central and west ern belt, finch conditions ami outlook caused systematic bear pressure to be bus- pended, and tbe markets, which duriug the K st few days had been held down against dination. rebounded sharply. Liverpool recovered the early loss sod gained 7 points over yesterday on new crops. Opening trades hern were at an advance of 13 to & points, sod though there was cousiderabta realising and selling by New York, the im provement was maintained and the upward tendency remained unchecked. The South western Cotton Buyers’ Association gives the condition for Texas as 66.2. mnl 1 per cent Increase in acreage. The New York COTTON YARNS QTILL 8HOW AN ADVANCING TENDENCY. New York Commercial; Further advances, have been named on cotton yarns within the past few days and sellers are bolding out firmly for these new prices on all de- Ivsrles. On long distant deliveries, running nlo next year, cotton yarn agents are even firmer In their price Ideas than la usually the case for long distant contracts. The ** tho cotton crop have been character and these have resulted In buyers being cautious over the booking of orders for deliver/ well on lu the end of tbe year nnd early next year. They are demanding atlff prices for deliv eries of this sort and are getting them In the majority of cases. For uear-by and spot shipment prices ore also stiff and the market today Is by no means a buyers’ market, borne agents in this market are holding their yarns at what ere termed prohibitive prices and re- 1 use to come down In their Ideas. Southern frame Peeler cones In 10s are being offered for d«“ - * * 2174c 10a ai. — and In others are being held at 23c The 23c flat price Is believed by buyers to be altogether too high nnd they are refus- *— place orders at this price. ting yarns have as a rule been ad vanced all along the line from 74c to Ho per . partially atop these demands. v W*aVtK} counts era much firmer In pries*and under months to come. * Print Cloth Market Steady. By refusing to grant even l-l«e concession on orders ‘extending into October tbe print cloth yarn fabrics are being kept steady l»y all sellers In'this market. On regulars 4 9-16c grant no concessions, and at present buyers art reluctant to pnkce orders on an at value basis. On narrow goods In 27-tncb and ,26-Inch widths nnd odd count valuta lore bqwa on 'Tegular* at the full 4 9-10C price, which bring* them higher than tho/ ■ • 't&fcNr» fs,ra On contract tbs values shade off to 7Hc. C’utters-up and .converters iro calling for wide stanr*-—* tern hem - . . 1 up am adarda for September, October to 674c and find mills already largely sold Commercial makes the acreage for tbe belt 4 per cent lesa than last year. Tbe absence of lasting improvement In coudltlona concerning the now crop Is strengthening bullish confidence from day to day, and the tenor of the numerous In quiries from all parts of Europe show that there Is deep concern abroad about the sup ply question for next season. The bureau report on Juno 4 therefor# may have con siderable effect on the markets. Official records show over 20 points In the western belt with 1H Inches of rainfall during the past 24 hours. Tbe rain area la moving eastward Into the central belt nud contin ued reports of rain are now arriving from the delta. Futures are firm nnd advancing. New York, May 29.—J. 8. Uacbe A Co.: Liverpool took a dr#p In tho early seaslou this morning. The near forces evidently brought about selling on tho other side to break the New York market, but tbelr ef forts came to naght, for at our opening there waa a peralsteut demand due to the continued rains aud fear that weather con ditions would be even worse over the holi day. Shorts were responsible for the enrly advance aud bull manipulation did the rest. Another bull argument waa the New York Commercial report showing a decrease In acreage of 4 per cent under last year's. Private advices state even the third plant ing does not show any Improvement, nud coudltlona continue deplorably bullish. We believe prices are low, and woubl udvise buying today for-a sharp advance.

Settlement may bring some more failures, but nothing of any consequence expected. Doubtful whether more gold will go from here this week. The raid at end of day was confined to a few stocks. Amalgamated was the chief sufferer. The attack had been advertised In the enrly morning nnd was made lu order to cover stocks else where. The break In wheat was a factor and helped tbo market considerably. Look for a good recovery In. the list today. Town Topics: While there will doubtless be some covering today over the holiday, we see nothing lu the market situation that would causo us to think there Is anything, to be gained by buylug nt this time. From au investment standpoint, stocks are un doubtedly cheap, but In our opinion they may be bought still cheaper. On any severe breaks, but not otherwise, we would ad vise buying for turn* th© Hill and nar- rlman stocks, St Paul, Atchison, Pennsyl. vanla, Baltimore and Ohio, Reading, Louis ville and Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line. Buy cotton on weak spots for moderate profits. On further sharp reactions, wheat may be bought for a turn. way, it Is M1U, uu u cvwm«, «- .. . with such temperaments, more smenabIe*to conservative advices. This development Is now said to be taking place. Amalgamated may go a little lower, but should be bought confidently around 80, where good support begins. Anaconda mar sympathize.

New Orleans.‘May 29.—Tho Times Demo crat says: "There was some evidence of sharp practice’ in yesterday’s cotton market. A fow operators seemed to desire a decline either for the purpose ©f covering short in terests or to enable them to get In again fit a lower figure. Any way, some rery queer telegrams came from New York, which nt time* scared off support. Tho tenor of the government's weekly crop weather bulletin did not harmonize with the flood of private advices received during the past few days, and while the talent strenuously maintained the correctne* of low condition report views, there was a well-defined respect for cautious operations pending the- receipt of the bureau report next week. Under the law the weather man cau not report the effect of the ele ments on the growing crops, while tbe pri vate reporter may. Low temperatures la some sections of the belt caused comment, but little fresh buying power. Local spot men reported some activity. On the whole there was little'in the* market to inspire a spread of bearish views In so fair os sup ply aud demand problems nro concerned, other than a’qulto logical Improvement lu the bad crop altudtloo with more seasona ble weather in some sections.'’—Hayward, Vick 4s Clark.
