NEW YORK, May 7.—Overnight buying orders gave the cotton mafket an ad vance of from 5 to 12 points at the open ing today. The tone was firm, and the lack of improvement in weather condi tions over the Southern belt caused a continuance of buying After the call the price ruled fully 15 points above Mon day's closing, or making an aggregate ad ‘ vance of 50 points in two days. ' Liverpool fully responded to the service of _yesterday in the American markets. ■ and the buying around the opening was good, coming from commission houses. i some spot people and also those who sold yesterday. The local operators soil on the way up and there was profit taking by some prominent bulls It is believed Liverpool and a former large bull leader sold here. The selling is based on the theory that we have had a good advance and the market is due a reaction Ring operators continued selling in the. afternoon, which, together with some sell ing by the bulls to take profits, carried price to the low levels of the session. 2 points off to 7 points up as compared with the previous close at the beginning of the last hour.

HAYWARD &. CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 7—The map shows partly cloudy to fair in the Western states, with no precipitation except in the coast districts. Cloudy weather In the rest of the belt, with genera! showers, heaviest in Mississippi, southern Arkan sas, Tennessee and parts of Alabama. In dications favor clearing weather in the western half of the belt, but showery in the eastern half. The tendency Is toward better weather generally. Liverpool took yesterday's advance in our markets and weather news mor* se riously than was expected, advancing fu tures today as much as 13% points. Spots 11 points higher: sales 7,000 bales. General buying on the strength of Liv erpool, rains In tfie central states, a fore cast of showery weather and expectation of a bullish weekly weather report at 11 o’clock advanced our market 11 points in the first hour, but the advance was then chalked by realizing in New York Bullish feeling qver the wet planting season, particularly in the central states, seems to be well developed and provides a steady public and trade demand for contracts All other considerations ap pear to be set aside for the present The mill situation in Italy is particularly un favorable. and trade is suffering from the embargo placed on Asiatic-Turkish terri tory with respect tn Italian goods The sensational side is well represented in cotton literature at present, and fre quent predictions of a wet May and June floods have their share in the present buy ing movement.
