MISCELLANEOUS


New York, May 25-Cotton opened steady
and unchanged to IL points higher. July
led the advance, opening at 7.92c. as against
1900 last night. As a matter OF precaution,
July shorts bought June as a hedge, causing
almost equal strength Of that proposition.
Trading all the forenoon was excited, but
not specially active. Claims that large
blocks of low grade were coming here from
the south. the differences allowing handsome
profits on such shipments now that our mar
ket Is the highest in the world, appeared to
in no way calm July shorts. who continued
to bid feverishly for large blocks. An ad-
vance to 1850 occurred soon after the open
ing, and all the morning the market was IN
an erratic way.

ENGLISH HARVEST
1t Is Postponed Because of UnfavOr-
able Weather Conditions.

London, May 25.-The Mark Lane Express,
commenting upon the adverse weather condi-
tions, says: At present there is no proba-
bility OF the wheat harvest beginning in July
even in Sussex and Thanet, while in East
ANGELA it is not likely to be gathered before
the third week in August. The present cereal
year, therefore, will have to find food for
hfty-hve weeks. Reports from Austria-Hun-
gary show over an average wheat promise in
the Austrian Tyrol, Hungary, Bohemia and
Silesia; fair average in <Crotia and Bosnia
and below the average in California and
Transylvania. In Algeria the harvest is be-
ginning and good yield is anticipated.

Hides Pelts, TalIovv and Wool.

Andersen Bros, Minneapolis, say:
The hide market is fairly firm. but the
strength is largely in the west, as eastern
tanners are very reluctant to enter the mar
ket. Their demand for leather is less in pro-
portion to that Of the western tanners. There
is fairly good demand for steers, cows and
light hides. Extreme hides are neglected, as
are also long haired kip and light branded
hides. The quality Of hides is rapidly inn
proving, and ere long short-haired hides Will
be received from country points. Calf skins
are somewhat weaker, but no material de-
cline can be noted nor do We think that
lower prices will prevail unless the other
classes OF hides lose their present stability.
The unsatisfactory state of the textile trade
is largely responsible for the Indifferent feel
ing in wool on the part of the manufacturers,
and their unwillingness to purchase or be-
come financially interested in the present new
clip beyond the extent of their immediate
requirements. The ruling prices for Mime
sofa woods are 12c to lac. Even at these
prices, If wool is shipped to eastern markets,
dealers or growers say they find no advan
tage after selling to eastern manufacturers
through brokers or commission merchants.
The recent London sales have not materially
changed values one way of the other, al
though it must be admitted that the finer
grades are in a stronger position than other
Wools
The tallow market is quiet and seemingly
tending towards lower prices. Receipts are
light and there is little interest manifested
at the moment
Pelts are also running light as to receipts,
but larger receipts are expected before long.
The demand is fairly active from local and
nearby pullers, but we do not anticipate bet
ter prices unless important changes in the
