MURPHY & CO. COTTON LETTER.

New York. May I'm the cotton mar
ket this morning there was a mixed
feeling and a good many were at
sea. Liquidation on a small scale caus-
ed an opening at 2 to 4 points decline.
There was little doing. More ain fell
at Fort Smith. Little Rock, Palestine.
Galveston and Memphis and the wealth
er map is considered of far less impor-
lance and will not attract great atten-
ton for some weeks, the opening gener-
ally being that something outside of
weather is required to stimulate spec
ulation. Both sides are confident, but
bulls appear to be less so than they
have been of late. Heavy outside buy
ing set in the first hour, which wiped
out the decline and sent prices up 5 to
z points additional, but at this juncture
an easier tone followed and the market
for the time being turned weak again.
New Orleans being suspected of more
or less manipulation. Port receipts
were 10. 1000 bales. against 1900 last
year. The question of acreage is at
tracing no little attention. While not
a few look for no decrease or increase
from last year others are confident
there will be a falling off in every state,
the only exception being Indian terri
tory and Oklahoma. with 4 to s per cent
general reduction for the entire belt
The only feature evealed by weekly
government report by states is the abb
sence of rain in most sections. This is
doing no more than receiving comment
at this time, but it will be some weeks
before the question of moisture can Sc
riously affect values.

Soon after the call July was forced
down to s.23. and August to sos The
New Orleans market gave no sign Of
working higher and commission houses
appeared in a selling mood. When least
expected. Liverpool took a turn for the
better and active buying for southern
accounts became a feature Shorts

room operators shifted to n
bull side for a sharp rise. As
the market improved the demand from
outside interests increased until July
had rallied Is points to 9.3S. At this
level leading houses figured as liberal
sellers. being influenced by large esti-
mates for tomorrow's receipts and ia
yorable weather forecasts. July sold

ish southern spot market news
For the rest of the day prices follow
ed a seeSaw movement, leading to re-
ports that prominent interests were
manipulating prices for small turns
August advanced to 9.1S, dropped back
to go, worked up to 9.15, then on 20
sos. again to 9.12 and then to 9.0d. The
close was barely steady, with prices net
