Cotton Letter

New York, May GA decidedly fayorab' e Liverpool and more complaints of cold and wet weather in the south caused a further slight advance in cotton prices today. The Liverpool cables reported an advance of three and one-half sixty-fourtlis The opening here was four points up. After the opening decidedly listless trading prevailed, but the market was well sustained. Au- gust opened at 63O, huctuated between this figure and 627, and closed at 6.29 to 6.3O, with the tone of the market steady. The general dispositions seems to be to bull the market but we think that turn of favor able weather will result in lower prices.

 New York. May 6.-American stocks were
 heavy in London before the opening here. Although prices of international stocks had declined to, in some cases, nearly
 pnint below last nights New York closing there was sufficient demand here at the op- ening to overcome the greater part Of London's declines The selling for Lon don account was the heaviest for many weeks and was estimated at 5O,0O0 shares
 at least The dragging tendency Of .thls selling was easily perceptibie in the ln- ternational stocks during the morning. But the balance of the list showed a disposition to forge ahead on it's own account. Some of the specialties were conspicuously strong notably Tobacco. The capture of the steamer Lafayette un- der the French flag assumed growing im- portance in the eyes of traders during the last hour and induced selling to realize and the putting out of shorts by the bears, which carried prices to the lowest of the
 day at the close when the selling movement
 was still actively in force. The resump- ton of the gold import movement has been cited as a bull argument, but the withdraw als of gold from London and Europe have
 resulted in renewal of stringent money conditions there. This in turn has weak
 ened the speculative market and has in-
 duced large selling of Americans because of the good market existing for them here. The indications were that the New York market would have successfully absorbed these offerings had it not been for the de- velopment of the Lafayette episode which caused some timidity amongst buyers. The bond market showed the effect of selling for London account in some of the speculative issues.

Paine Murphy & Co.'S Grain Letter

Birmingham, Ala, May 6.-Foreign cables were again much higher at the opening to- day, more than equaling our advance, but the close showed quite a decline from top prices. Our opening was over cent off and extremely nervous and cratic. heavy sales being followed closely by large pur- chases and prices quickly advanced and then receded The temper of the market in the main being bullish, but very sensitive. Foreign advices continue to indicate an eager desire for our wheat, as evidenced by the agitation in nearly every continental country in favor of abolishing duties on cereals. Foreign crop news is coming more unfavorable and we are still in favor of purchases of July wheat for higher prices. Coarse grains remained dull but firm. Pro visions are adversely affected by talk that the war is over, but it is well not to be too fast The list will see better prices next week.

Paine. Murpby & Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham, May S.-The stock market today has exhibited the usual wioe range of fuctuations attendant upon disquieting rumors and uncertain information. Unt1l something definite come from Manila, the market will be very sensitive. Repots that a nice international question with com plications may result from the capture or a French merchantmen also tended to un- settle values. London was lower and our onening was at slight concessions from last nights close, but splendid railroad advices and general improvement in the industrial circles created bullish feeling, and prices were advanced along the entire list. To- bacco and Sugar were the leaders but the dread of the unexpected happening is hang- ing over the market and in the last half hour an attempt to realize precipitated general selling and prices closed at consid- erable concessions from last night.
