Local Markets Closed.

Monday, June 3.
The Board of Trade and the Cotton Elk
change were closed to-day in observance
of jefferson Davis birthday. While there
was some trading among both cotton and
naval stores houses. the transactions were
mostly small, and not in sufficient lots
TO establish an official market Interest
in the naval stores branch centered most
ly in the trading in turpentine, which was
reported on basis of 32l4c, and in suffi-
cient quantity to make the official market.
Little was reported doing in rosins, though
some sales are understood to have been
made as a basis of Saturdays prices. The
wholesale houses were open throughout
he day. and the usual rushing Monday
business was done. There is generally an
accumulation of orders in the hands of
the wholesalers over Sunday, so that they
could not well close to-day without con-
siderable inconvenience and delay to their
customers.
Renewed activity was reported in New
York stocks. which have apparently taken
on the old-time activity of boom days. In
the face of a strong realizing movement
values of the more active issues moved
upward closing at material advances over
Saturdays prices. Money on call ruled
steady at 212- to per cent

largely based on general considera tons,
such as that time had demonstrated that
the stock market panic had effected no
impairment of the prosperous business
conditions so that with speculative losses
adjusted a renewed advance was in or

properties and the renewed accumulation
of capital, 1t is argued, point to renewed
demand for securities.
The belief is prevalent that still fur

itself may have facilitated efforts to con-
centrate holdings of railroad securities

A Little Scattering Cotton Trading

New York, June 3.-Cotton speculation
has not in weeks been so dull as that of
to-day. Business from every quarter was
OF a hand to mouth nature. The talent
sold out recently purchased cotton around
the opening and broke prices several
points; then turned for cover and steadied
the market almost to Saturdays closing.
There was little or nothing in the way
of investment support and the South was
more inclined to sell than buy. The open
ing was quiet, with prices about point
higher to points lower, this being in
strong contrast with the cables, crop and
weather news. Liverpool advanced sharp
" on a general movement to cover,
prompted by poor crop conditions named
BY the government last Friday and the
continued rains throughout the belt east
of the Mississippi river. The crop re-
ports received noted "spotty conditions
Door stands, little cultivation and need
for replanting. At noon the market was
weak and irregular, with July having been
down to 7.7Sc, August to Use and October
to 7.Olc. Later room covering and some
Wall street buying of August stiffened
the market several points. But at best
business was slim and mainly in the way
Of settlements. Poor reports from spin
ner centers and dull trade accounts from
Manchester, with heavy port receipts
were the factors upon which room bears
based their belief in a lower market. The
close was quiet and steady, with prices
net to points lower.
