New Orleans, May 10.-As Liverpool ad-
vices were disappointing, our market
opened Sd4 points lower, selling off ad
ditional on the large interior receipts and
liberal estimation for both New Orleans
and Houston tomorrow. Fears of July
manipulation in New York and the firm
ness of that option occasioned a sympa-
thetio response here, inducing shorts to
cover heavily, causing an enhancement
of l2Q19 points from the bottom, making
the net gaiu~1 10 points on old-crop months
and 6q9 on the new. The receipts at
the twenty mine leading interior towns
were 5000 bales, against 1000 last year,
or over five times as much, and the ag-
gregate stocks held by them are 527, 1000
bales, against $4,000 last year, or an in
crease of 2S5.000 over last year. The visi
Die supply during the week decreased 107,-
900 bales, against a loss of 12l, 900 last
year, showing a relative gain of 1900
bales, increasing the excess to date S5l 600
bales over last year. Statistically. the sit
uation grows weaker daily, as is evil
denced by the movement and the textile
trade conditions have not improved as
is shown by the continual relative increase
in the visible. These reactions are nat
ural and the nervousness apparent is due
in a measure to the claims from various
sections that rains are needed. While
moisture may prove beneficial in certain
portions of the belt it must be remem
bered that it has always been contended
that dry weather in May is requisite
for a large crop, as it gives the plant a
favorable start.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
Prices Rebound Upward After the
Great stump. 400

New York. May 1O,-Rapld -. progress
was made in ro-estabAsbing confidence in
Wall street to-day. and there waF6 a nat
uraI rebound in pricesIo That rs TO say.
the fact OF the rebound was very natural
after the extent OF the declines of yester-
day, but the range Of the recovery was
surprising. Large progress was made TO-
ward wiping out the net losses which
remained last night after the recovery
had already set IN on the exchange. In q
number of stocks which were not acute
ly affected yesterday, to-day's price rose
above Wednesday, closing level and in
Missouri Pacific yesterdays net loss was
recovered with points TO spare. the ex-
IRENE advance reaching IS points.
There was a good deal of trepidaton
still evident this morning owing to the
vague dread that there might be stock
exchange houses which would be unable
10 meet their obligations after yester-
days drastic experience. The market
was therefore unsettled and feversh,
even after the strong opening, but when
the official announcement was made that
the clearing sheets of all the members
Of the Stock Exchange had gone through
the stock exchange clearing house perfect
ly and that all their checks had been
honorcd, u feeling of relief was manifest
ed and steadily grew throughout the day.
During the latter part OF the day there
was n resumption OF what looked like a
speculative movement for the rise led by
Union Pacific. The buoyancy OF this
stock and the accompanying strength OF
the Southwesterns was based upon ru-
mors and assumptions OF the benefits TO
accrue 70 Union Pacific from a change
In control OF Northern Pacific, which was
still stouty claimed by the Union Pacific
party.
Undoubtedly there were very many
speculative losers OF great resources IN
the collapse OF Thursday who retained
their nerve and determination and who
set about to recoup themselves by new
speculation IN the market. Other buyers
were those who had gotten out early IN
yesterdays slump and who still saw a
profit IN getting back at tho prices ruling
to-day The bargain hunters were also
on hand IA considerable force, and there
we're many cash transactions, both IN

New York, May 1O-Liverpool followed
our advance but slowly, being deferred
by the large movement and the showers,
which were reported from the cotton belt.
The local temper is, however, quite bull
ish based on a revival of the rumors
regarding the possibility of a squeeze in
July. This rumor revives periodically and
this time comes from the corner in
Northern Pacific, leading many to antc
ipate that something might be attempted
in cotton. Several OF the houses sup
posed TO be long of this position were
sellers on the advance through brokers,
but the local traders feel that the relative
difference between this and the Southern
markets must come to a parity on which
cotton can be rendered. Receipts con-
tinue very heavy compared with last sea-
son, and showers occurring many places
were needed. The local temper. however,
is as bullish now as it was bearish last

bonds and stocks, representing their pur-
chases. This outcome of affairs was pref
ty well assured when the news was learn
ed this morning of the settlement effected
with the shorts In Northern Pacific on
the basis of $50 per share. This removed
the overshadowing fear from the market
and the quotations for Northern Pacific
on the tape at $50 still further aliayed the
apprehension. The stock sold at 200 for
cash afterward, but the progress OF the
settlement with the shorts at the offices
OF the conflicting interests In Northern
Pacific prevented any further disturbance
on that ground.
The measures taken by the banks
which placed heavy loans in the market
yesterday, and their decision not to call
the loans to-day completed the tranquil
ling influences. The market closed
strong at the top, with a feeling of relief
over to-morrow's holiday. The gain eX-

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET
Mnrnhy & Cos Cotton Letter.

New York, May l0.-The weather map
this morning again disclosed a condition
of affairs from the Carolnas to the ex-
treme Southwest similar to those prevail
ing all week. With the exception of "a
inch rain at Abilene ~ at Augusta, and
01 at Oklahoma, and Augusta. the en-
tire cotton belt was dry with highest
temperature u at Galveston. lowest 5S at
ATLANTA and Little Rock. Accounts from
Paris and Texarkana, Tex, stated that
as a result of the protracted dry weather,
the outlook was serious, and seed would
not germinate This made no little i'm
preston in the minds of the leading con-
servative operators. although it failed to
make much impression on prices. The dry
condition everywhere, while causing no
alarm as yet. is enough to make people
ponder If continued for any ZENITH of time.
The situation may change decidedly as
the necessity of moisture at this season
of the year is too well recognized TO be
lost sight Of At all events the trade
has awakened to the fact that weather
conditions are too uncertain to warrant
cotton at any such prices, as those ruling
the past month or more. Prices are con-
sidered low enough for the present, and
bv many are inconsistent with the pre-
waiting trade conditions, even conceding
them to be as poor as alleged by the
leading bears. which certainly they are
not. A slight rise was shown in the ear
~ market, but later on weakness devel-
oped caused by rain in the Abilene, Tex,
district. but the market quickly recov-
cred. Gables were one higher for the old
crop. and II lower for the new. July

COTTON FUTURES.
The Market Closes Steady to ii
Points Higher,

New York, May10.-July shorts were bad
ly stampeded in the local cotton market
to-day and in effecting an escape sent
prices up with a rush to ITO for that op-
ticn. The other months, though notably
May and June. followed readily For a
time the new crop positions were neglect
ed and therefore backward in advanc-
irg; but outside buying and some demand
from the West finally stiffened October
and the latter deliveries decidedly. The
market opened steady, with prices I'M
changed TO points higher and for
time showed 4 disposition to do better
on moderate general buying. the cables
having improved and the week end statis-
tics being less bearish than previously
predicted. Then selling for a turn car
lied July off to 15S with the market
showing heaviness in every department.
Before midday shorts became apprehen-
sive of missionary work in the July
option There was little cotton to be had
In the pit and good parties seemed -
be quietly bidding that position UP. An
outright scare occurred before o'clock
ON general turn for cover July ran
up to 7.79 and October jumped to Z. IS. For
the rest of the session the market was
extremely nervous and very susceptible
TO buying orders from the bear side The
amount of cotton brought into sight this
week did not reach the figures anticipat-
ed, and the estimates for tomorrow re-
ceipts at leading points were smaller than
counted upon. New Orleans sent lumer-
Gus buying orders here. After 2 O'Clock
selling for profits forced prices of 6
points, though shorts failed to regain
courage UP to the close. Fears of a pro-
nounced advance in Liverpool tomorrow
checked extensive selling. Closed steady.
at net advance of to IA points.
