NEW YORK. May 15.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says: Though business was again on an infinitely small scale on the stock mar ket here today, the tone was brighter and much more hopeful.

Many lame ducks have been helped and six small firms will probably succrrmb yet, but no such diff faculties as have been anticipated by will ing pessimists have developed American shares hesitated to open and then de- veloped much confusion on account Of the departure of brokers from the usual rule and their delivexy of stocks direct to dealers.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
OPERATIONS OF AN EVENING
 UP CHARACTER.
Chief Cause of the. Hesitancy Was the Conflicting Crop News-Fluctua- tions Barely Reached
 10 Points.

NEW YORK. May 15.-There was not much of cotton market today. specula- lively. Fluctuations barely reached 10 points and for the most part operations were of an evening-up character and small at that. The chief cause for the hesftancy was conflicting crop news, though weakness in the stock market in an indirect way helped to check new ventures: The opening was quiet and firm with prices 3GS points higher, fol- lowing tolerably firm cables from Liver pool and rumors that no rain had fallen in the drought sections of the South west. Covering and some foreign buying supported the market for a brief period after the call. but before the first hour had passed the market was weak and de- clining steadily under selling for both accounts from nearly all quarters. The change in sentiment was largely the re- suit of heavy port receipts, better crop accounts from the central belt claims that Neill had increased his crop estimate 100000 bales and reports that Southern spot markets were weakening under off to a trifie below last nights close in net higher on the new crop months. Du- ring the afternoon operations were very small and at most fluctuations were in significant. The estimates for tomor- rows receipts pointed to no material re- duction in the movement, orders from outside interests were few and far be- tween: in fact the situation was quite destitute of new feature. On light cover ing prices worked up few points in the last five minutes. The market closed steady with prices net 4d6 points higher.

New York Cotton Futures.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Quotations fol cotton futures today were as follows:
New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. May 15.-There was not much doing in the market for spot cotton today. There was some demand for the better grades, but lists of those qualities are difficult to secure free from undesirable trailers and where they are to be had factors are holding them at prices so stiff as to interfere materially with the movement. Liverpool shows a slight improvement today and to that extent factors are measurably encour- aged. but there is little in the general situation to induce them to hold on to the heavy stocks of low grade and sandy cottons now on hand. and buyers find little difficulty in closing for lists of that character at slightly lower shadings. Sales. l.4O0, including 400 to arrive. Quo- taticns unchanged.
 The market for contracts was very dull during the first part of the day. Opera tors seemed to be in a waiting mood and the sales record. except for a few turns in July engagements. was measurably free from chalk marks. Under ordinary cir cumstances the opening would have been the signal for vigorous bull onslaught. since Liverpool stood 1-32d higher for spots and a shade better for deliveries and it was followed on this side by tirGt call advances of 1Q7 points. But after the call all steam seemed to have escaped from the market and operations fell away to the little point of nothing. while prices sagged down steadily until near the close. when there was a slight recov- cry. May finally closed at 7.4a47.51; June, 7.4l@7.43; July, 7.37Q7.3S: while the other months were 5d7 points higher than yes- terday's closing.
