Chicago, May 2S.-For various reasons the bull element held steady in the grain market today One of these was the ap- prehension of the bears that 1t would not be wise to sell too freely owing to the fact that Liverpool cables, which have been silent for two days, will resume tomor- row. Dry weather in spring wheat sec tions, export engagements, Hessian fly in winter wheat in parts of the country too, had a bullish effect, and July wheat closed h4Hc higher; July corn closed ikc improved, July oats unchanged and pro- visions from a shade lower to 597hc higher.

LIQUIDATION ON
 IN JULY COTTON Kept the Market in a Heavy Condition Throughout RECEIPTS RATHER LARGE
 - Several Slim Reactions Occurred On Room Covering of Profit Taking Character for the
 Short Account.

New York, May 2S.-July liquidation kept the local and Southern markets in heavy condition pretty much all day. Prices suffered severely under this pres sure while sentiment on all sides was disposed to favor the bear point of view for the time being Receipts were large, the English cables portraying pronounced weakness in Liverpool The crop news of a private nature was of friendly aver age and the weather conditions South were better than at any time of late. On the call the market was easy with prices off to points under. selling for both ac- counts by the South. Wall street, the room contingent and Liverpool feeble attempt at recuperation soon gave way to increased weakness after the call, and at no time during the rest of the fore noon did the trade operate on the belief that a marked advance was in order. Several slim reactions occurred on room covering of a proflt-taking character for short account and was popular as a gen. eral thing. A better weekly crop and weather statement from Washington early in the afternoon; estimates for large receipts at leading points tomor- row, and moderately good weather for the coast, gave the market bad turn soon after midday. July dropped to ITS and August to 7.32 around which level buying for rally to 6 to points became some thing of a feature. The indications strongly pointed to the July "clique" being a supporter of that option at 7.S0 and under, and a seller at 7.S5 and over. Several times during the day rumor had it that the deal people" were selling out, fearing that cotton would be shipped here in overwhelming quantities before deliv- cry day. Liquidation broke out anew in the last few minutes and forced prices to the lowest level of the day.
 The market was finally barely steady with prices net 10 to 19 points lower.

Murphy 6 Co., Cotton Letter.

New York, May 28.-When New York opened this morning Liverpool was about 2 points higher over the holidays. The July support seems to have been with drawn here and that month showed an early decline of Il points, other months being to points lower. With July out of the way the market is expected to do better. The uncertain movement in that month has been interfering with specula- ton as was the case while the January deal was on The opinion of people thor oughly conversant with the actual crop and statistical situation is that there is enough merit in cotton to broaden the market without resorting to artificial support. Reports of boil weevil in Texas are multiplying, labor continues quite scarce at many points and while Texas has been receiving her share of damage by rains, bad stands are quite general and the Atlantic States are doing poorly. some claim extremely so. The rainfall today included trace at Atlanta and Little Rock 04; at Charleston, .o2; at Au- gusta, "A. The temperature was as low as 5S in Oklahoma; 56 in Little Rock; 64 Memphis: 52 Atlanta; 5S Montgomery; 60 New Orleans; GA at Corpus Christi, Gal weston and Vicksburg.
 The Liverpool markets final transac- tions were at an advance of 3 to points for the futures while spots were 1-16d up. The lower local trend was arrested after the opening and recovery Of to points resulted. Expectation was that the government report for the week might show poor conditions hence some disposition to support the later months. There was more or less talk of cotton coming here from the south in large quantities to break the July corner, but so far arrivals are small The estimates for port receipts was n,OOO against 5000 last year.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 28-The market for spot cotton remains quiet. The tables of factors are but scantily supplied with desirable lists and factors are inclined to be bit stiff in their demands This last mentioned fact has considerable to do with the small movement as buyers are not disposed to operate very freely at full prices, under existing circumstances, though even if there was a demand of anything like large proportions it would be somewhat difficult to fill orders for selections owing to the comparative sparse offerings. There is c growing in quiry for tenderable low grade c7ttons and prices in that direction are notably steadier. Sales 3,650 bales, including $50 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 The market for contracts was moder- ately active. There was a good movement in July and August and October came in for a small share of attention, but be- yond those positions there was little in- terest shown by operators Liverpool re- sumed her place In the gam. and mod estly marked up spots 2-32d and deliveries 2-64d on this crop and 3-64d to 4-6id on the next. The American markets paid but little attention to old England, however, and choose to set the pace without her assistance, this market opened down II points on July and to points for the remainder of the year. Later on a slight react1On sent priceS up to D pOlntS. put the market eased off again and at the close 751 was bid for May and June; July was 1s points and the balance of the list 8 to Il lower.

Lee & Co.'S Cotton Letter to H. D. Cothron & Co.
 New York, May 2S.-Liverpool cables came rather disappointing and with the edge off the July here, possibly only for the time being owing tothe extensive sell ing yesterday by the leading holders the market opened rather weak this morning The decline extended through the whole list, though August was relatively the stronger There were several faint rallies during the day on short covering and what looked like investment buying, but there was no snap to the market.
 It Is believed that the leading bulls have bought as much or more August than they have sold July during the past few days. It may be the undoing of straddle or they may be transforming their holdings to the August option.
 Ports today 10,S00 against 4,592 last year. Weather reports generally favorable though too much rain has fallen in the last few days in the Carolinas and the opposite is the case in Texas.
 It is only natural, however, to expect and be prepared for scares and unrav- orable advices at this time.
 Purchases of fall months are, we think, advisable around the present level
