New Orleans, La., July 23.—The buying yesterday by lending parties who were sun* poaed to be on the short side started trad ers to look aronnd for a specific bull argu ment which might explain thin buying. Tho hot and dry weather In the central nnd eastern belt woe seised upon «« *“ e moRt convenient explanation, and ns pros* peeta this morning favored the contluu- nnoe of inch weather, there was quite * little buying around the opening, which pushed October to U.19. The advance did pot hold, as there are enough people will ing to trade on the probable effect of the ®«t bureau. Nobody denies that It la only » question of patience and money for profit «n tho long aide dnrlng the critical cron Period, it would require several days of not, dry weather to create such prospects f»r dntnnge by draught that the next bu reau would become a negligible item.

Later Liverpool cables reported a fur ther advance of 1 to lVi points over 12:15 p. m. prices. Liverpool comes 5 to 64 higher, slightly under parity. The sharp advance lu the last part or the scuipn yesterday was a demonstration against the shorts, who had unUt much on Price’s change of oplnlou nnd the effects on the public of the con tinued good weather. All these bearish arguments did not force the desired liqui dation, and accordingly what cun not be forced down must advance. The bear crowd forthwith started to cover. We look for a higher market today and advise pur chases on the opening, or on any dip dur ing the day. Think shorts will be on the run before the day Is over. McIntyre.

Should the demand continue to keen up and deliveries become more and more difficult to make there Is little douM but that another advance of 4c per yard will be made on certain prominent lines.
