NEW York, May 5.-Speeulation broadened
a little in cotton today. the principle i'm
pulses being the continued stability shown
by the Liverpool market in futures and the
large volume of business in spot cotton in
the English market. Private cables sup
plemented the public account with assur-
ances that the increased attention being
paid to spot cotton by foreign spinners was
based on substantial founda tons and was
likely to endure. In the Liverpool stocks
there was some falling off during the week,
which added to the bullish character of the
cable news in general, although the English
stock remained considerable in excess of
that of year ago.
Our market opened steady at an advance
of to points and further advance to g.
The general firmuess here was increased by
local covering on considerable scale, with
general speculative interest also more thor
oughly than for some time past. Weather
and crop accounts, while more or less con-
fcting, had bearish average and finally
arrested the upward movement.
The general undertone of the market,
however, was decidedly better than for
some weeks past. Spot cotton participated
in the increased feeling to 1-16 advance, but
very little business was done in actual cot
ton in this point. Advices reached here
FROM southern spot markets indicated gen.
eral stability with some reports of renewed
an increased competition between English
and American spinners for desirable grades
with complaints of unsa tisfactory assort-
ments increasing. During the afternoon the
leading influence was a. fear that previous
expectations of q bearish government re-
port would not materialize and that the
report would prove to be to the advance
of the bull interest. The market was
finally steady at 8 to 5 points higher.

Cotton Letter

BY Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
Birmingham, May 5.-Cotton advices from
Liverpool today were better than expected.
The interior movement is attributed to an
unfavorable bureau report anticipated.
This market has ruled steadier owing to
the absence of news and buying by Euro
pean shorts and local operators. Southern
houses were the principal sellers. Receipts
exceed last years figures, but interior
stocks again show a decrease.
The outlook is not conducive to activity
on either side.

BY Private Wire to Paine, Murphy &c Co.
Birmingham, May 5.-Today's stock mar
ket at the opening showed generally inn
improved tone over yesterdays close, and
the standard stocks maintained the I'M
provement until the last hour, when a bear
drive broke prices rapidly to the low point
of the day. The transaction IN stocks were
affected by continuation of liquidation and
short selling incidental to the Ford bills.
Sugar suffered quite materially from adj
verse trade reports. The steel stocks were
hammered during the last hour and closed
with quite large losses. In some of the
markets a large short interest exists and
pretty generally throughout the list, the
bears have outstanding short contracts
There is an unsettling influence upon the
market as a whole every time ne Of the

snarl. The mere appearance of an order to
sell one stock in substantial volume will
tend to induce the room traders to make
an attack against the indnsIrials generally
