New York May 2.-In the Liverpool market this morning there was a sharp shrinkage In values but this did not sur prise those who have been closely watch ing the drift of things there. It is sus- pected that manipulation Is being in- dulged in on both sides of the market and this Is causing some concern. Liverpool takings are not likely to keep up as they have been in the near past and 1t is possible that the market there has been over bought. Stock of all kinds at close of week showed decrease, 2i.000 while the American supply has fallen off 31,00O, but the increased stock afloat is 19,OO0 greater for the all kinds and 17,000 greater for the American and besides there is probability of a continued stock demand in view of the approaching holidays which always bring operations to stand still. Despite the poor Liverpool show ing when we opened our market failed to show more than 10 to 6 points loss in the early sales, there being reports of such stiff prices for exports and eagerness buyers to secure cotton as to neutralize the unfavorable cables.
 Besides some regarded the Liverpool lower tendency as totally unwarranted and were disposed to support the market regardless of further fact that intensely bearish news came from Texas regarding the situation of new crop Atlanta, Au- gusta and Savannah had rains and else where the weather was dry. There was not much doing here up to the midday, buying orders from New Orleans checked the market for a while but bears were h.rpin on the fine weather news and thus depicting the bull ranks. Ports show ed 11OO0 for the day against 10000 last year. Liverpool closed 21A points lower
