NEW ORLEANS COTTON. NEW ORLEANS, La. —There was not much life in the spot market today. A few buying orders were out, but factors have developed a feel ing of greater confidence and are asking prices for uncovered stocks that serve to check the movement. Sixteen bales of new crop cotton came in today on split consignment to seven different firms. This is the be ginning of a movement that will quickly vitalize the market, regardless of the future course of prices, and enable buyers to open up their sea son's campaign. At the opening today the contract market was barely steady, though at a sympathetic advance of 4 to 5 points. Hut the improvement was of short duration, as reports of general rains in Texas, where they have been badly needed, gave heart of grace to operators on the short side, both locally and at New York, and the several months were sold down steadily during the greater portion of the forenoon, the decline covering 16 to 16 points before It was checked by room traders cover ing In small profits, leaving net losses at noon of 7 to 8 points down the line.

C. SNOTWELL NEW YORK.—In spite of threats by Thomas W. Lawson, the stock market opened strong and fairly active today. Smelters advanced more than two points. Lead & point and a half, and Copper one point. The Rock Island issues were higher on the announcement that the finances of the company were not in ft desperate condition. Canadian Pacific opened higher because of an appeal by the strikers to the government for arbitration of the present difficulties. On the curb market Lawson's Bay State Gas was the feature, many thousand shares changing hands. Cumberland Ely, Nipissing and other Guggenheim stocks were prominent. In the commodity markets cotton and wheat were steady, but not active. London was much improved in the American department. As a result of the hammering of the stock market indulged in last week, a material short interest has been built up. Business is improv ing slightly, and money is so extremely cheap, both in New York and London, that the pools have no idea of abandoning ih e bull campaign. The leaders said today that they expected the advance to be resumed almost immediately. (Saturday's Figures.) Close.
