Fgirchild & Hobson,s Letter.

New Orleans, May 25.-Liverpool
played an important part in the cotton
market today by sending very bullish re-
ports on futures at that center. The
cables reported that certain people identi-
fed with the last advance were buyers
again today, doing their best to. lift
prices. In this they were successful to
the extent of 3 to IL points, the closing
being firm at the best. 1t appeared to
be more of manipulation than real de-
mand. In our market we only partially
sympathized, as there were varying in
fiuences not given to stimulate prices.
The weekly crop bulletin was favorable
and rather discouraging to bulls, and
failed to add much to the dormant specu-
lative feeling. Spots were advanced
Lice ON moderate sales, and the general
talk was that the statistical position
would take care of the balance of the
old crop. The market closed steady at
6 to s points advance.

Stocks ma Honds.

New York, May 25.-There was more
animation shown in the dealings on the
stock exchange today than for many
weeks past, and some buying by COM
mission house agents gave evidence of a
slight awakening of outside interest in
the markets. Sales of the day reached
over 100000 shares and were much bet
ter distributed through the list than has
been the case in the recent trading
Sugar was strong on the belief that the
explanation offered of the sugar schedule
of the tariff bill in the senate would help
it's chance of passage. The dealings in
the stocks were larger than for some time
and were second only to those in Chi
cago Gas. The dealers in the latter
stock were inclined to take an exceed
ingly conservative view of the benefits as
sured by the action of the Illinois senate
in passing the gas frontage and CONSOLE
dalton views on reconsideration. The
stock did advance sharply ON the news
heavy realizing sales. The weakening
of the exchange market during the day
was regarded as an encouraging factor in
the general outlook, and account was also
taken of the weeks statement of mer-
chandise exports from New York, show
ing an increase of $3.50, 400 over last
week. Statements of railway earnings
were also good, especially that of the
Southern Railway, showing an increase
of net earnings for April of $70,S16, and
of gross earnings of $SS,614. The eff
feet was to raise the price of the stock.
The third weeks statement of gross
earnings of the st. Paul and Missouri
Pacific caused cheerful feelong among
owners of railway stocks. the former
showing an increase of 1914, 346 and the
latter $4,000. New Jersey Centrals
range was IL points, the net gain being
a point. Western Union gained frac-
ton. Losses of a fraction were general,
the exception being a point in Lake
Shore.

Dry Goods.

New York. May 25.-Dry goods show
no change in any department. The mail
orders of today were very light, and spot
general depression was caused by the re-
port of the small dividends paid by Fall
River mills, better showing being gen.
orally expected. In jobbing stores there
is a little snap to the trading. Coarse
colored, except in certain lines. are well
sold up, and the demand is not heavy
one. Trading in print cloths is some
what more brisk. Bids for both spot
and futures are made for extras at
2 7-16c, but the mills are not heavy sell
ers. Prints were quiet. Wooden and
worsted goods show a general decline in
interest.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago.

Chicago, May 25.-Wheat today closed
at a decline Of 3-4c. The market held
stubbornly firm during. the forenoon in
spite of heavy liquidations, but finally
succumbed. Corn was weak and lost
lac. Oats closed a shade lower, and
provisions declined 5@7 lie.
Wheat opened firm at about the price
it closed at yesterday because French
country markets were quoted partially
one franc higher. Liverpool, on the
other hand, opened I'D lower, and the
next quotation noted some transactions
at further lid decline. Receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth were heavy, the

A g, the ST. Louis market broke to 1c per
|J2tlshel below the price it closed at yester-
|'i.ky, and New York sent dispatches
about the same time, reporting decline
at Paris equal to / 1-4c per bushel.
These matters kept the market fuctuat-
ing within a narrow range during the
morning July opened a shade higher,

recovered to II 3-S@71 lie, then down
to 20 3-4c and back again. to II lie in
that time Chicago receipts were only
twelve cars and 10000 bushels were in
spected out of store. The Atlantic port
clearances of wheat and flour were only
equal to 121, 900 bushels. Closing cables
gave the net decline for the day at Liver
pool at I'D each for May and July and
Id for September. Bradstreets,
which was expected to show decrease
in the worlds stocks for the week of
about 100000 bushels, reported only
$4,000 bushels decrease. In the last
half hour a break which appeared i'm
pending all forenoon, but only material
lied on the receipt of Bradstreet's re-
port, carried July down to 20 3-Sc, and
it closed at 70 1-2c. A line of about
100000 bushels, supposed to be long
wheat, was sold at from Tic down to
20 3-4c. The most of that fell into the
hands of scalpers, whose parting with it
again caused the further decline.
Corn was moderately active and weak,
influenced principally by the extremely
heavy receipts-S43 cars. There was
continued heavy sellingsby the elevator
people against western purchases, while
buying was scattered. A good demand
for spot corn was reported.
Oats were dull and exhibited the char
