most Of the session. July opened LM4c higher
and advanced with slight changes nc more,
ruled strong aud closed &c higher than yesterday.
The strength was attributed 10 advlces which
would indicate that the next Government report
will make less favorable showing than last
month This, together with the rather larger ex-
port ccnmnces ana reported export buying ut the
sea board today with Indications that the visible
supply will show n liberal decrease again this
week, caused prices 70 advance The weather bull
lctin showed rain In the west and northwest. clear
nhd bright weather would be more favorable
Shorts took alarm Mt the action OF the market and
bought quite freely. aud there was also some in.
vcstmcnt buying around 76c for July. A local
trader sold rather freely, and held the market for
while but the demand was active and oil offer
lngs being absorbed the market passed and held
above that figure

Oats were quiet and shade easier early, but la.

The local cotton market closed quiet.
Sales unimportant. Tho season is drawing
10 close rapidly, SO far as cotton receipts
are concerned. At New Orleans spots arc
steady and futures are dull at an advance OF
point. Liverpool closed quiet; limited
inquiry, with futures firm and unchanged.
The Liverpool Exchange will remain closed
until next Wednesday m.-Whitsuntide
holidays The New York market closed
quiet and steady, with futures dull, at de-
cline of point
Hubbard, Price & Co. say; Cotton adj
vices from Liverpool are of the usual char
acter appertaining TO holiday markets, a
small business having been done In spots,
and small demand for contracts In the
morning and closing firm, showing the de-
cline recovered, which would be the natural
conclusion 10 n long market entering into a
period Of holidays Every market has been
extremely dull, and as no new features have
appeared to influence prices In either dircc-
ton traders have avoided undertaking oper-
atoms which must necessarily be based ON
local influences until "Wednesday morning
next. Meanwhile the demand for actual cot
ton, while not unusual, continues, and the
undesirable character Of contract cotton H.,
In our judgment, more than discounted by
the difference In price between contracts aud
even running lots Of cotton. Crop adviccs
are Of more favorable tenor Winter posi-
tions remain in good demand here for export
purposes and any decline shows the presence
of buyers Tor this interest. The movement
OF the crop is without influence on the mar
kct aud the close is steady. New crop cotton

OUR EXPORT TRADE.

New YoRK. May 10 Before the senate
Interstate commerce com uittee, this Orn-
ing, President Charles s. Suith OF the
chamber OF commerce, testified. He rs-
Tered To the fact that railroad build ng IN
India and about the Black Sea ports was
being pushed rapidly aud greatly feared
that under tie present conditions il would
not be long before America lost what little
export trade II mad. He even advocated
the carrying of occasional shipments OF
grain by railroads ut less than cost when
necessary. In regard To competition with
English steamship lines, Smith thought
there was but small hope OF successful
competition, unless the American lines re.
ceived subsidy from the government. We
have done II tor railroads, Why shall wo
not Ito II for steamship luusp We must
look beyond railroads and toward steam
ships, unless We want to soc our flag disap-
pear altogether.
j. III. Herrlck, chairman OF the inter
state coniinerce committee II the Producs
Exchange, Thought the interstate law Is in
many respects good and the position of
merchants under II better thuG while pool
ing WAS in vogue. The pen-lties provided
however, are not severe enough. There
was tendency To- dlscrim mate against
seaboard points in favor uf foreign ports.
For instance recently, where the rate from
MllNaukee to LlNerpoot Is 10 cents while
10 New York II WAS 3S cents without the
Erie canal, the rates would not be as regu.
lar as they are. The canal acts as u regu-
lHtor. We should not restric, Canad an
ROADS Tor the same reason, because We need
them as regulators, out they should be
