The market was given additional sup port when shorts became good buyers. This class of buying was based on the * that the market did not recede on Abe general rains, which has been the gossip of the trade of late.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, May 17.—The map shows a splendid general warm rainfall ever the eastern half of the belt, while the western half was generally fair and dry. It ran be safely said that the en tire belt lias had the rains needed. Liverpool is closed to-day. hut will be open Monday. A New York wire re ported that the Government had revised the season acreage, adding 670.0(H) to its previous estimate, making the total 34.- 760,000 acres. The market opened a few’ points lower, but July in New York showed such oetermined support, suggesting the in tention of holding the market through 'his position, that selling was intimi dated and covering brought about a rally to 11.10 for October. The leading freight people say that bookings and demand for freight room fur the fall months are very small; almost nominal. The market continued very dull for the remainder of the session, but held around 11.10 for October. The rally in the face of the bearish weather de velopments appears to have nonplussed many, others can not account for it, f while the opinion prevails that the com ing bureau and private conditions fore casts will give a high condition aver age.

But the mere talk of rain seemed enough to encour age scalpers on the short side until the rings learned that some big spot people were buying New York contracts, and that some large auction sales in the East were panning out astonishingly well. After that the market reflected a de- cidedlv steady undertone. Throughout the session, however, business was on the moderate scale. There is a growing suspicion in many quarters that the Liverpool trade is quietly picking up the new crop contracts in New Orleans, which speculators seem never to tire of selling “ THE WEATHER.

Logan & Bryan: “There seems to be more or less apprehension over the July situation, which at this time has a ten dency to check aggressive operations on the selling side, owing to the fact that leading spot interests seem to be ar rayed on the constructive side of that month.” Thompson, Towle & Co.: “We prefer buying on all soft spots.” Atwood. Violet t & Co.: “The market is very susceptible to any bullish news, and most of the rallies have been the result of short coverings.” NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET.
