The close generally was unsteady and
net changes were mixed. The weekly re-

the feeling that the business reaction has
not yet reached its limits and the opinions
expressed in the Senate yesterday of the
possibility of foreign complications on ac-
count of the Monroe Doctrine as applied
to the Danish West Indies. was cited
by the bears as further ground for specu-
lative depression. The report Of a small
decrease in the loan account of the banks
for the week instead of a heavy increase
was surprise in Wall Street. 1t did not
alter the belief in the reported loan to
Pennsylvania which is today reported to
be from fifteen to twenty million dollars.
The placing of such a loan late in the
week would figure in the bank statement
for the averages of only one day. The
calling of loans earlier in the week in

Crop news has not been very important.
Weather conditions at the South have
been more favorable. and a good deal is
now heard about the probable increase in
the acreage. Reports from Texas indicate
that the acreage Of the State for the
coming season will be at least 10 per cent.
larger than that of last year Under such
circumstances il is natural for new crop
deliveries to display a relatively weaker
tone, although any serious decline in the
Fall and Winter deliveries is checked by
the firmness in all old crop deliveries. A
good deal Of attention is also paid to the
fact that the season is cert ainly late, and
that it is probably safe to assume that
the crop will be on an average about two
weeks behind. This loss is OF course by
no means irreparable, but many compe-
tent authorities dwell on the fact that a
late planting generally results in re-
ductiCn in the volume of the crop.

COTTON.

New York May 13.-The market for cot
ton futures opened easy with prices one
to seven points lower and showed more
snap and energy than it has manifested in
some weeks if not months. Sentiment was
decidedly bearish much Of the short Ses-
sion under favorable conditions from the
English market, further encouraging crop
ports that the weather was nearly per
feet. Selling orders from Wall Street and
the unsettled condition on the stock eX-
change all served to increase the uneasi-
ness of holders in local circles and to en-
thuse the bear faction Following the
call there was an additional decline to
9.41 for July, to 9.21 for August, to
SIS for October and 7.95 for January.
Throughout the rest of the session the
market was spasmodically active with

HAVEN & sToUT's COTTON LErTE

New York May 12.-Dullness continues
to prevail in the cotton market, but is at
tended by decided steadiness, particularly
in the old crop positions The principal
feature CT the week was the heavy by nS
of spot cotton at Liverpool, which is
understood TO be largely in the nature OF
an exchange of futures for actual cotton.
This movement had tendency to support
prices, although the market here still
suffers from the absence of fresh specula-
tive buying, and the presence of an enor-
nous outstanding bull interest, especially
in the August delivery. A great deal of
confidence, however. is expressed in the
future of 'the market. and the fact that
prices hold so firm at the present level,

on investigation to be a place where
some sheepman had cached his grain
for horse feed, while he moved on fur-

respondent to the Deseret News, and
the mystery concerning their disap-
pearance is still unsolved. Suspicion as
to the identity of the murderers has
centered on fortuhe-t telling outfit, con
