NEW YORK COTTON
The Market Opened Steady Followed by
an Advance
Now York August 14 The cotton mar-
ket opened verr steadv with prices S
points lower to 2 points higher and then
worked quite rapldtv anward on acthe gen-
eral buying The Liverpool cables were uoi
up to expectation ami the reports from cat
ton eroils centers were disappointing
Nevertheless private crop advice were less
favorable than tho average of latr The
later cables from Llveruool were more en
couraging and busluoM fiom that quarter
changed oer from the bear t the bull
aide Support fuim a prominent Wall
Mrcet operator and some demand from tho
south helped tn undermine bear confidence
bile tbe public cables as a whole wero
poor the private cables utated that England
was very bearish Philadelphia and local
spot cotton houses were buyers of the
August September and October options
comiulsIon houses covered new cro i
months shorts went long tbe South boucht
n hedges put out aculnst the prospective
large yield some time ago During the
afternoon the tendencv was stendllv up
ward and the tone at the close was steadv
net 5 to 7 points higher Total sales wero
estimated at 121000 bale the bulk of
which were October and January contracts
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
Spots Were Quiet and Steady Quotations
Remaining Unchanoed
New Orleans August 14 Spot cotton
quiet and steady Yesterdaya transac-
tions left very little dctfirablo cotton on
the market for the tlmn being and holders
will have to lay out fresh lists beforo any-
thing like a free movement can bo expect-
ed Sales 475 bales Including 200 f o
b terms aud 100 to arrive Quotations un
unchanged
Tho future market opened 4 points lower
on August and 1 to 2 points on tho other
months Under the Infiuenco of New York
and supporting orders received here for
execution values were forced p 5 to 7
points There were verv frequont slight
fluctuations on every let up In the bull
movement but the closing found prices
for August at last evenings figures while
all other positions were 5 to 8 points higher
than yesterdays closing
J N Wienora Letter
Houston Texas August 14 Liverpool fu-
tures today were disappointing and near op-
tions closed tho same an yesterday and dis-
tant options 1 polut higher Spot sales
were 10000 bales at 132 up with fair de-
mand
Both home future markets opened a shade
lower than yesterdays close on the 1m
prcsslon tiat Liverpool still rules the cot-
ton world buL after < the first svav of sell
lng was over the shorts were again on tho
rack and getting what was owning to thom
they continued to recelvo ttmall paymeata
until the close In Now York but shortly
beforo the close in New Orleans profittak
ing by the room traders ami lack of buying
support tberu caused October to react from
7tn to 703
Tho temperatures In Texas today have
averaged loo or morn and Texarkana was
the only point reporting any rain
Attention should his given the fact that
the last monthly government percentage for
Texas was only 77 and hot winds hot daya
with no rain and somo boll weovlls will
not be conducive of a four million crop for
Tixac and also the fact that there are fKV
000 bales of high priced cotton bold In New
York that has been tendered on contracts
two or three times and It may be that the
shorts may be squeezed and a good market
made for It and also to sell short when tho
top l reached and then when ammunition
gets plentiful to quietly unload and buy-
back lower down The market appears to
bn going higher regardless of the ultimate
size of the crop aud final level of values
Wires to me today advise No specula-
tive demand except from shorts

Special to Tbe Post
New Orleans Ancust 14 Liverpool ad-
vices were dlrappohulng but our market
nevertheless only opened 1 lower subse
qicntly advanced 7 to 8 from the bottom
on continued heavy buying by Wall street
Near the close values cased off slightly
making tho net gain 5 points on alLmonths
except August which was unchanged A
large operator with a big following who
recently turned bullish has been dissem-
inating unfaiorabln crop reports In Europe
claiming that the deterioration l chlelly
In Texas In addition to this tho beivy
purchases of the past few da > s have been
principally absorbed bv the same Interest
that the leader will
verv bullish report
hiii lifBrrr
anticipating the regular monthly bureau
which will be issued on September 3 It
Is claimed that there Is a largo short Inter-
est In Liverpool and even endeavor Is
being made to create a scare tn cause gen-
eral coierlng there Weather conditions
and private advices do not confirm any
marked deterloiatlon It Is admitted that
the usual August deterioration Is taking
place but that tbe outlook on the wholo
Is favorable Tor the time being It Is hard
to form any decided opinion yet whether
conditions will eventually regulate values
