New York, May 26.-The magnificent
condition OF the manufactured cotton goods
trade is the subject of much talk among
cotton speculators. The rise in the price
of manufactured goods since October l has
been to AZ per cent. China has been buy
ing largely in this country, and there has
been considerable expansion generally IN
the export trade. The prospects are said
to be all in favor of a successful year Tor
handlers of cotton goods, from4 the mills
to the retailers The bullishly inclined are
confident that this condition will continue
and serve to Offset any bearish develop
ments. The argument of the prospect OF
an immense cotton crop continues TO ap-
peal most favorably to many, however.
There was nothing OF Importance in the
market today, general indifference being
manifested in the absence lof a Liverpool
market. Prices were around yesterdays

weather and high temperature prevailed in

DISHURBS TIE MARKET
A Big Break in the Stock Has
Widespread Effect.
The Collapse the Direct Result of
the Recent Rate War.
Fear of the Franchise Tax Act Re-
sponsibie for Declines in New
York Traction Shares.

New York. May 26.-The stock market
opened with the dealings rejecting an i'm
provement in speculative sentiment, which
was not long maintained. Specifically the
relapse OF the market into dullness and ir-
regularity was referred TO as being sym
pathetically induced by the very sharp
break in Consolidated Gas. If this were
the case it only serves to disclose the un
stable and unsettled condition of specula-
tive sentiment. There is certainly no good
reason why the break in local stock un-
favorably affected by particular and spe-
cial circumstances should have disturbed
the whole market and six months ago no
such effect would have been produced. The
severe decline in Consolidated Gas pre-
eeded the announcement of the reduction
in the quarterly dividend from to l 1-2
per cent a tangible reminder and reiec-
ton of the foolish war between local gas
companies. Notwithstanding the special
and local character of this incident it act
ed as a damper on Wall Streets budding
enthusiasm, and the more hopeful feeling
that has been slowly developing of late
vanished in a moment.
A further increase in the unsettlement Of
the market was the temperance Of liqui-
dation throughout the industrial quarter.
There was no news or even gossip bearing
upon these stocks but none was necessary
in the presence Of constant liquidation.
Sugar Refining broke with particular yio-
lence. In this instance the selling perhaps
reflected the influence OF suggestion. hold
ers of the stock being no doubt disturbed
by the action of the directors OF the Con-

remarks Of a director of the latter COM
pany, today's action on the dividend was
Influenced not only by the losses incurred
in the rate war. but also by apprehensions
as to the effect upon the companys net
earnings Of the franchise law. The same
factor was also responsible for pronounced
declines in the local traction shares, which
had, however, opened higher along with
the remainder of the market. American
Tobacco, Continental Tobacco. and Ameri-
can Steel and Wire were the Industrial
stocks in which. apart from Sugar Rein
ing, the pressure of liquidation was the
most pronounced. One satisfactory result
OF the collapse OF Sugar was the disap-
pearance of the stock iobbing rumors OF
the settlement OF the trade war with which
the street has been supplied throughout
the week. The dealings in the railway list
resulted in irregular changes. but those
stocks were In the main remarkably steady
