London Financial Cablerram.

NEW YORK. May 1O-The Commer- cial-Advertiser's London financial cable gram Says: No business to speak of was done anywhere on this side today. Lon don is waiting the settlement which will be begun on Monday. The tone was dull Mining contangos were heavy; money Is being held back for the arrangement of accounts and mines were being sold free cans. In the best informed quarters here they say that the. talk of failures and losses here are grossly exaggerated. The panic is looked upon simply as a case of heavy profits heavily diminished and the expectation Is those with good credit can easily be tided over. One prominent job ber's account was closed by arrangement. The market for Americans was singularly devoid of excitement. Business was very idle and price were wide. Almost all dealings are a matter of negotiation. The start in Americans was good. The first prices were from 10 to 12 above the close in last night and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul took the lead for rise with d squirt of 21 points. New York had cabled general buying orders over night. There was a slight depression after the closing of the account mentioned above. Atcm- sons especially going off points from the high point. During the afternoon ses- sion the market was stagnant, but in the street after the close prices hardened with Northern Pacific leading in the eX- pectation of the little squeeze in the lat ter: this became all the available supply of certificates had been shipped. Six dol lars premium is being paid already for bears in advance. Paris Is continuing to realize in preparation for the Russian loan next week. Money was steady. There are some persons who fear that American capital may be withdrawn from here to meet losses incurred in the Wall Street panic. The bank has bought E14,- GOO gold in bars and e70OO is going out to Brazil Exchange on Paris is 2O.161a Ber- lin is unchanged.

New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, May 10.-The market for spot cotton ruled quiet today. Fac tors have sold rather freely at declining prices lately and now appear willing to rest up.' Hence they are not putting out new lists as briskly as might be ex- pected, and the assortment now on the tables is hardly up to the average. Buy CTS are moving about, but are willing traders only when the better grades and staples are in sight and as but little cot ton of that style is available just now, there is no great amount of activity in the market. Sales, $500 bales, including 500 to arrive. Quotations 1-16 higher.
 brisk line of trading in the July posi- ton and a moderately fair movement in August with scattering interest in the other near months marked operations in the market for contracts today. New Orleans opened 1d4 points off. but imme- diately advanced 1 points on July, only to drop back again to the extent of Sd9 points and then reacting, advanced as sharply until at the close when prices were 5d11 points above yesterdays clos ing figures, with May at 7.54d1.55; June, 7.4Id7.4e; July, 7.429743

MARKET FOR FUTURES
THE JULY SHORTS WERE BADLY
 STAMPEDED.
Prices Were Sent Up With Rush to rye Cents for That option and Other Months
 Followed.

NEW YORK, May 10.-July shorts were badly stampeded in the local cotton mar kct today and in effecting an escape sent prices up with a rush to 7.79 for that op- tion The other months, notably May and June followed readily. For time the new crop positions were neglected and therefore backward in advancing, but out side buying and some demand from the West finally stiffened October and the latter deliveries decidedly. The market opened steady with prices unchanged to 2 points higher and for time showed disposition to do better on moderate gen. eral buying, the cables having improved and the weekend statistics being less bearish than previously predicted Then selling for a turn carried July on to 7.os, with the market showing heaviness Tn every department. Before midday shorts became apprehensive of missionary work in the July option. There was nt, tie cotton to be had in the pit and good parties seemed to be quietly bidding tnas position up. An outright scare occurred before ? o'clock on a general turn for cover July ran tip to 7.79 and October jumped to 71S. For the rest of the ses- sion the market was extremely nervous and very susceptible to buying orders on the buying side. The amount Of cotton brought into sight this week dfd not reach the figures anticipated and the es- inmates for tomorrow's receipts al ieao ing points were smaller than counted upon. New Orleans sent numerous buy ing orders here. After 2 o'clock selling for profits forced prices on SIX polhts, though shorts failed to regain courage up to the close. Fears of pronounced ao- vance in Liverpool tomorrow cneckeu e1- tensiye selling. Closed steady at net au- vance of 5414 points.

General De Wet may be insane

be a master Of the game, even when
