4 New York Cotton Market.

New York, May 9.-The cotton market closed at a decline of 2a5 points.

Cotton Letter

New York May S.-The cotton market de- clined today. Liverpool was lower and the feeling that prices had advanced too rapidly bore fruit in heavy and general liquidations. There were spasmodie moments of strength, but the undertone was weak all day. Tho south was heavy seller of the next croN and the belief in lower prices for the late months continue and is pronounced. The bears insist the advance has checked the demand for actual cotton but we think that the facts do not warrant this belief and that consumers are only waiting for some decline. The crop reports are generally of a favorable character. August opened at TAT, advanced to 750, declined to TAI, fiuctuated between this figure and 7.45 and then broke to 7.S9, closing at TAO to 7a, with the tone of the market barely steady, The decline today was logical, and might have been expected, but we do not think it indicates that the advance is over, and we favor buying on any further breaks

 The demand for gold for Japan has gone off, and the continent is less eager to pur- chase. Half million sovereigns have been shipped today at Melbourne for London. Stocks of copper have not changed during the fortnight, the total being 33,793 tons. Fhe Paris bourse had a strong opening, but London did not respond fully and the close wal dull.

said that the increase would bring into
the treasury of the trust several mil
lions of dollars in extra profits" Both
statement are warranted by the facts.
There Is no scarcity of the raw ma
terial abroad, nor has the import price
risen. The average of 1.9 cents 4
pound for raw beet In 1896 fell to an
average of 1.76 this year in spite of the
enormous purchases of the ref1ners,
which made the imports Of raw beet
exceed those of last year for the period
ending with May by 1.102 S69, 104
pounds. The imports Of dutiable raw
a n fell off 400, 0OO, 900 pounds, but
that of free raw increased II, 90G, 0c0;
and the entire imports of beet n zane
for that period exceeded those for 1896
by III. 999, 249 pounds. The imports up
to July %, when the tariff took effect,
probably bring this excess over the
normal to 1000, 900, 600 pounds.
On all Of this vast stock the increase
in price, thus arbitrarily made by the
trust, takes effect. and its gains al
be easily calculated. The treasury ex-
pert assures us that the loss Of the
sugar revenue. and consequent gain to
the refiners, between March and June.
amounted to $3,050, 466. This will not
measure the whole loss to the one and
gain to the other; because the imports
were greatly increased during the. pre-
ceding months and after it became an
assured fact that protection was to
prevail. In advancing the prices at
the earliest possible moment after the
increase in duty, the trust Is merely
putting into its Golfers, as clean profit,
the sum that should have gone into
the treasury. 1t has only done, how
ever, what congress and the admins
tration consciously intended it should
do; for, if protection does not allow
of increased price, it is not effective
and might as well not exist. 1t is
probably a consciousness Of this that
keeps comment on this harvesting OF
profits out of the editorial columns of
our contemporaries. They dare not
speak a~pprovingly of it because, how
ever much the sugar users may be
hoodwinked or blinded by glittering
g~eneralitfes, they are FESTIVE under
advances in cost of their n~ecessaries,
and approving comment would offend
them, while the consonance Of their log
ic and the reffners' action restraints
them on the other hand. We would.
however. like to see their estimate
now Of the extent of that great vic
tory Of the house over the senate and
the trust.

Cashier Bjornstad, in the city treas

and also says that the city engineer

1t appears that moneys are not credit
