MARKETS Edited by JOSEPH B. LIVELY Mr. Lively hns edited Markets in Atlanta and the South for more than twenty- five years. His experience makes him the most reliable market editor in the South if not in the entire country. tOTTON MARKET IS yIl 0OR TRADERS MAKING PRICES FOR COTTON. Market Was Dull at Start, But Short Covering Caused an Advance. The Liverpool market was closed _ jay. It wM remain closed until Mon day. In the N.w York market, the only BCW , „f an Influential character related to the crop and weather, both of which being one-sided, excellent weather anf crop proppecta brilliant. The opening wa» quiet and Irregular, though changes from yesterday's clos ing were Insignificant. The bulk of the trading was being done by floor trad „ the outside public refusing to en ter’the market under present condi tions. The bull and bear battles will _ fought on the floor of the exchange un til something definite occurs on which tn base ventures speculatively In the cotton market. After the noon hour, a sharp upturn took place. In both New York and New Orleans, In the former on covering by Boor traders and buying by New Or leans. the latter market showing con siderable strength, especially for July, which sold above He on extenslvo covering.

Freeman & Co., In circular letter, today summarize the situation as follows: New York, June 8.—"While this pe riod of crop uncertainty continues, we Should all be cautious In our Judgment and actions, keep a clear head, and be sure of our facta. Two factors are up- uoinioat now: First, the Impending July liquidation: and, second, the crop. In the first Instance, we are confronted with a romnterclal proposition, namely. Who proposes to carry the 60,000 bales of undesirable cotton now In this mar ket t„ August or September at n loss of II. au to |2 a bale? It does seem as though In the near future an adjust ment to comparative values for con tracts must take place, thus affecting the entire market unfavorably. Weak ness In July and transferring of hedges will depress prices until the equaliza tion shall be completed. This Is the technical situation, and Its analysis, based upon the present crop develop ment, euch day In June, which Is fa vorable to the growth of the plant, makes the July situation more acute, and 11'sik upon It ns a constant menace to "us. When I say I am nervous al drought, I inenn It solely os a wu •-*, for It Is the only Imminent adver»? factor, and there nre Indica tions that we should not forget this prospect aa the season advances. The present market (s a small alfalr, and only small fluctuations are to be ex pected until we approach the July ten ders. Above 10.M for October snles for moderate profits seem Justifled."

New York, June 8.—For some days I Imre been rery nervous over the droughty con- dittoes at various points.—C. D. Freeman. 9:24 a.m.—Narrow market, but undertone Arm. Any outside business would cause higher prices. The Journal of Commerce aays: "Gen ernl trade for the day was steady with the movement of goods of moderate volume.

The quiet un derlying strength of the July option continues to'be the sustaining Influence of the market and has created a de cidedly more favorable opinion In fa vor of enhanced values. Covering of the short Interest In this month has been fairly general «and at the same time the October position found ready support from local traders, but the market still stands In need of a broad er stroke of outside speculation. The Influence of the weather seems for the moment to be lost In the more engross ing Interest of the outcome of July. All reports from the belt continue, In the main, favorable, but the unequal dis tribution of moisture In parts of Texas la beginning to bo sorely felt, and has been the cause of some expressed ner vousness on the part of the trade. Spot business In our market Is necessarily restricted by the small supplies which, exclusive of the amount on shipboard and the very' low grade llnters, etc., amounts to barely 80,000 bales. The visible supply statement today will In all probability show but small mill tak ings, owing to the several days’ cessa tion of business abroad and the un willingness of spinners to buy large ly. as exhibited In the small dalbr volume of business done this week with such frequent interruptions In the trade. L. J. ANDERSON A. CO.'S DAILY COTTON LETTER New York, June 8.—With Liverpool closed today, our market lapsed Into a very dull affair. Even the weather news has become stale and uninter esting.

New York, Jurio 8.—This morning the market differed very little from the preceding market, of the week, It.wna heavy for some .took, and .trong for others, while the greater part of the list moved unsteadily within very nar row limits and showed no net change of consequence. In view of the Impor tance attaching In speculative circle, to the violent rise In the grain pit. more attention was paid to the grain move ment than ta anything else outside the stock exchange. Although more or less damage was done by last month's drought, and while on this ac count It Is believed that next Monday's June report of the go.ernment will show a lower condition than on the tlct Ilf May, till! expectation I? Ihnt the estimates will still make favorablo comparison with previous years. Whatever uneasiness Is felt over the wheat prospects now relates almost en tlyely to the spring-sown crop. The northwestern Issues, as a rule, were Inclined to reaction In the day’s mar ket, and profit-taking also made It self especially felt In some specialties. There was considerable irregularity at the opening of tho stock market, but soon after the Initial dealings there was some showing of a disposition to take profits and operate more con servatively. Such declines as took place In the general list, however, were only fractional In extent. Room traders were aggressive sellers of stocks during the first holt hour and forced declines of 1-101 per cent In a number of active speculative Is sues. but the market soon developed a strong tone again, and with a few exceptions, prices at the end of the first hour not only showed a recovery of early losses, but In a number of In stances made material net gains. Government bonds unchanged. Other bonds strong. Wars & L,land's Dally Cotton Letter. New Orleans, June 8—The cotton market was featured by a strong de mand for spots today, which was met with the slimmest kind of offerings. Buyers acknowledged that they were helpless, and turned down new busi ness. no matter in how small lots It came. . July continued the strongest month, as was natural on such n spot demand, and Its strength was reflected In the late positions, although it wns evident that some halls were selling out their holdings In the new crops and were going Into July which. If pres ent conditions continue, will undoubt edly squeeze ■ itself. Soma operators went short of July this morning on the theory that a reaction 8ras due. but toward noon these shorts were forced fo cover at a Mss. A reaction In July will be delayed by the fact that the larger part of the long inter est Is undoubtedly held by those who are sadly In need of actual cotton and who will hang on tighter to their hold ings of contracts the higher the price goes. They will turn loose their con tracts only when they can swap paper for the actual stuff, but the actual stuff Is now so firmly held that there Is little likelihood of anything like free offerings at reasonable prices until new cotton commences to move, and there fore a majority of July longs will wel come deliveries and will even demand them. This Is the reason why we say that July will probably squeeze Itself.
