The Morning News Office,
Tuesday, June 4.
From the sharp drop in the rosin mar
ket to-day it seems that the holiday did
not have strengthening effect on prices.
The extent of the declines was altogether
out OF the ordinary. being the most pro-
nounced in grades, which are understood
to be very plentiful just now BEGINNING
at the too water white shows a decline
of 9oc from Saturdays closing, window
glass soc, N 25c, M 15c, K Soc, &c. H
1Oc, and G and below &c. The total sales
for the day were 1858 barrels.
Why the market should sustain such a
sharp and unexpected loss was not clear
to some, though different explanations
were offered. That which seemed to be
most generally accepted was that large
shipments of undesirable grades have
been received here from Florida points,
where it is understood they could not be
probably disposed of. The factors at
those ports have their own foreign con-
uections, and trade largely direct, thereby
coming in competition with focal export
ers. Under these circumstances it is
natural that little hesttency would be
shown in pinching outsiders, if it was be-
lieved they were sending undesirable stuff
elsewhere to get the benefit of better
market. When prices did start down they
went with rush. with the declines in
many cases reaching levels which amount
10 little less than slump.
Trading in the local market is different
in many respects to what it is at the
minor markets. One difference is that
buyers take the offerings in lots, both
the desirable and the undesirable grades
and hold the latter until they have a sat
isfsctory market for them. On the the
DRY of practicing what they preach. it
may be inferred that they expect others
to do likewise. The large sales doubtless
cleaned up a considerable quantity of the
grades in light demand. so that further
material declines may be checked If the
general demand continues normal.
The cotton market closed quiet, with
large sales from factors tables. Little
was doing in the fob. market. New
York futures closed steady, with prices
l to points higher. New York stocks
ruled weak a part of the day. but later
strengthened, closing above the lowest.
The following resume of the markets will

COTTON FUTURES,
The Market Closes Steady to 2
Points Higher.


New York. June 4.-Near months
shorts in all speculative markets met
with charp reverse to-day and were
very uneasy at the close fearing a pos
slpie repetition of the upward movement
again tomorrow. Liverpool was the first
to show strength in July and August
prices advancing rapidly on heavy general
buying, led by shorts, started by reports
e1at the Dig shipments from the South to
ne" York for delivery on contract meant
reouced shipments from the South to
europe and consequent decrease in the
european visible supply during the next
TOUR weeks or more. The local market
opened steady with prices unchanged TO
point higher, despite the bullish news
from abroad. The indifference of the local
trace soon gave way to bear scare and
investment buying, chiefly summer
months on which prices quickly shot up
TO II points with August in the lead.
FOR the rest of the session the market
displayed marked steadiness and was ne
cuilarly sensitive to buying from any
quarter. Shorts continued to cover on any
signs OF decline and Wall street bought
the late months on bad crop news
Inc weekly government crop report
was quite the worst ever received at this
season of the year and did much to hold
the market steady. Heavy receipts had
been anticipated and played an unimport-
ant part as an influence. A forecast for
warmer and clear weather over the entire
oeit tonight and tomorrow checked new
buying in the afternono but did not
weaken prices. The New Orleans market
contributed to the strength here by send
ing important buying orders. LIVERPOOL
bought freely around the opening and
again near the close. Trading, while more
active than yesterday, was comparatively
quiet after the first burst of trading.
Inc close was steady with prices l tot Z
points higher.

New York, June 4.-Liverpool has shown
more strength than anticipated, particu-
larly on the nearby deliveries on Ameri-
can buying orders. On the belief the ship
ments to New York would check the
movement towards Liverpool, new crop
positions were bought by local interests
ON the expectation OF a poor weekly gov
eminent report and sold by the South on
clearing, warmer weather conditions. Cot
ton is beginning to arrive here for de-
livery on July, though no new shipments
were reported. July was in supply at the
advance. Commission houses generally
were without large orders the business
being largely confined to local sources.
The weekly report was poor, but being
followed by predictions of warm. clear
weather failed to attract buyers. The
local temper is bullish on the absence of
any pressure on July.

COTTON.

The cotton market closed quiet to-day,
with sales from factors tables of S91, the
largest for any one day for weeks past.
This comparatively large business served
as sort of revival of what had develop
ed into an absolutely featureless situa-
ton. Nothing of interest was reported
doing in the f. o. b. market. The days
receipts of cotton at Savannah were 896,
against 20 last year, and 1853 year be-
fore last.
