HAVEN & sTOUTs COTTON LETTER

New York, May 26.-The decline in cot

tnued and eliminated on Thursday in

Gus and active bull houses. 1t had been

bull side in the August delivery. Power
full exporting interests are understood to
have assumed exactly an opposite posi-
ton, and with the enormous scattered
long holdings of the public in August cot
ton the situation was one in which man
ipulation could be rendered exceedingly
effective while the efforts of the bull
contingent to support prices seemed only
to add to their embarrassment In the
early days of the week the market was
very weak, and on Thursday, when the
failure became known, excitement pre-
vailed for time, accompanied by further
concessions, which brought prices for the
Summer month options fully one cent or
more below the figures at which they
were quoted on the extreme advance.
When the market reopened on Friday, it
was found, however, that Liverpool had
not declined as much as it was expected
to, and, furthermore, that although
Price, Mccormick & Co. had extended re-
lations throughout the trade. the imme
date trouble caused by their suspension
was confined to one small failure in
Liverpool and an unimportant embarrass-
ment in a Southern city. The market,
therefore, showed a much steadier tone
on Friday, with disposition to rally, al

received, it may be doubted whether it

can quickly regain confidence, even when
II is considered that the overgrown bull
account that occasioned the break has
now been eliminated.
Statistical and other considerations
have, of course. been neglected. Predc-
tons of an increase in the acreage of IL
per cent. are freely heard, and crop news
in the South has been favorable. Never
theless, it now looks as if the visible
supply at the end of the crop year will
be about 2000.0 600 bales, or the smallest
since 1890, and in spite of the large acre
age. the coming crop has to undergo all
the vicissitudes of the season. Spot cot
ton has. of course, yielded in sympathy
with the speculative market, but is in
good demand at all concessions. In con.
servative circles the feeling is that while
under all the circumstances the rally may
be slow, cotton at around 812 cents is
cheap.

today. The depressing influence or
Thursdays failure continues to overhang
the market, and to discourage any specu-
lative activity. A large proportion OF
the days small business was said to rep
resent a settlement of the failed firm s
affairs. The firm of brokers whose buy
ing yesterday was said to be transfer
of the accounts of the customers CT Price,
Mccormick and Company, was again a
conspicuous operator today. These oper-
ations represent re-entry into the mar
ket Of some customers of the failed firm
to whom loans were paid off when their
contracts were closed out, under the rule
of the Exchange, or whose commitments
are taken over from the suspended firm
by other houses. This operation is a
sustaining influence on prices and was es-
pecially evident today in Union Pacific.
The prevalent belief that the banks which
hold the firms collateral for loans will
not. all of them throw the collateral on
the market for forced sale to liquidate
the leans also served to relieve appre-
hension to some extent.
Authoritative denials of some of the ru-
mors put in circulation Of further finar
cial difficulties was an influence towards
relieving depression. These factors, it
will be observed. were rather negative
in character, but they served to keep the
market pretty steady. The sharp rally
in cotton was a favorable factor. The
closing WASH evertheless heavy at con-
cessions from highest prices. American
Ice declined further on the pros oCution
instituted against the company. Brook
lyn Union Gas rose on the belief that it
would benefit by the settlement of the
gas war and Unicn Bag preferred recov
cred from the weakness caused by forced
sales yesterday.
The bank statement was about as eX
pected and was without influence on the
market.
Dealings in bonds have been small and
unimpcrtant.
