’ •! oe Perreira, a rubber worker, was
i pa lming his canoe at a good rate down

to ihe canoe, and continued his way.
Hardly more than ten yards from
th' spot, ho stopped again and lis

was a strange something that called
him back to the hank that he had
left but a few minutes before. He fas
tened his canoe again to the same
branch, and crept up to t lie same place,
feeling uneasy and uncomfortable, but
seeing nothing that could alarm him.
H": the second time he left, without
being able io account for the myste

gloomy moonlight place.
Unable to Fight off Feeling.
In etting out in the stream again
he decided to tight off the uncanny,
unexplainable feeling that had called
him back, but scarcely a stone’s throw

to return. XHe went again, and looked
and meditated over the thing that he
did not understand. He was quite so

COTTON STRONG!
IN LATE SESSION.
Weather Conditions Favorable'
for Good Market—Liverpool
Cables Show Firm Tone.
NEW YORK. June 18. - The cotton
market opened 6 to 10 points lower today,
reflecting weather conditions oyer the
northwestern belt, where considerable
rain fell. New crop positions showed a ;
better tone than had been expected. Eu- |
tures in Liverpool were steady: spots
there were easier. Opening:
A strong tone developed upon tlie mar- |
ket after the early trading, starting an
upward movement in prices, with the near
positions around the previous close. This
advance was mostly due to the irregular
support shown on the market. Leading
professionals were good buyers from th#»
ring crowd on the advance. However,
very little cotton was for sale.
At noon the market became weak, buy
ing was scattered and prices began to
sag toward the opening
At the close the market, was quiet, with
prices 2 to 6 points under the final quota
tions of Monday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ’»RLEANS. June 18. 'The weath
er map shows further very favorable de
velopments over night. General and ample
rains all over Texas. Oklahoma and Ar-j
Kansas. Cooler in north western quarter.
Some showers in Tennessee and north
Louisiana. No rain in rest of the belt.
Fair, warm in the Atlantic’s. High night

states. Indications are for clearing in
north Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas,
further rains in south Texas, and prob
ably a rainstorm formation coming in
lower central and eastern states in a day |
‘or tw ; o.
I ’This prospective rain for the eastern
; half of ‘he belt is the only unfavorable
outlook, as the crop in the Atlantics
needs more sunshine and warm weather.
Liverpool was a little easier, quoting
spots 5 points lower: sales 12.000 bales.
Correspondence from there shows strongly
! bullish views owing principally to good
j trade. Our correspondents say that the'
I belief in cotton is so strong that arouml
j t hat 6 pence for new crops enormous ;
• trade buying would appear.
<>ur market opened about 10 lower, but
i he regular support soon appeared in New-
York, stopping all selling and rallied
prices to last night’s figures. This per
formance certainly gives a true insight t
into the, constitution of the market imer
' est. Last y ear on a rain in Texas that
was not nearly as ample and general, and
on a far less promising crop, with a total
exhaustion of supplies in the world the
market was vigorously sold; this year
with far more bearish conditions the mar
ket holds, and even advances on weather
conditions, which well might assume a
bumper y ield for the western states. This
difference in the behavior of the market
now ami last year is entirely due to the
different positions of elading speculative
interests. I'hey have shifted to the long
side. The market was never broad
enough t«' liquidate, and the defensive
consequently must be kept up.

New Orleans 'Times-Democrat says:
»Supply merchants believe that price now
would encourage consumers to buy new
crop commitments in volume: consequent
ly. the trade wotild like to see declines
come. 'This complicates the general view
point, confuses the issue to some extent,
and disturbs those men who, of late, have
begun to form positive opinions regard
ing the crop promise. Bears believe in
declines because of the large quantity of
cotton in the world. Well informed farm
ers know that heavy’ forward selling dur
ing the summer means augmented de
mand for the actual during the fall and
winter. And so it follows that the num
ber of men in the cotton trade who are
talking declines exceeds the number of
men who are talking advances at this
particular time. For this reason the Giles
report yesterday, making the crop condi
tion deterioration between May 25 and
June 10, six-tenths of a point, was a bit
ter and uncoated pill for the talent t<»
swallow. All along the talent has talked
continued improvement, all of which has
generated confidence in a fairly high con
dition figure from the government as of
June 25.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
