OF the present demand the report
saws; Little or none for export; very
limited for American mills, although
the opinion is vouchsafed that local
mills will require what is left unless
short time is resorted to, and this is
not anticipated.
Of new crops, it says: Lands have
been well prepared planting rather
more forward than last year, being
practically completed and most of it up
to good stands. Now growing rapidly
and free from grass.
The weather conditions are most fav-
orable thus far. Generally dry during
period of preparation of land and
planting: showers afterward causing
quick termination of seed.
Labor is reported. scarce in five sec
tons elsewhere no mention, although
there are many who report that farm
hands are costing the farmer more
money than for many years.

Hubbard BROS. 8 Co.,s cotton Letter

New York. May 26.-Much of the cot
ton that was brought here on Friday
and Saturday was offered for sale in
Liverpool to-day, causing a weaker
feeling there and a lower closing. What
the local trade carried over was sold
during the opening hour breaking the
market at one time twelve to thirteen
points below Saturdays close. Arbi-
TRACE brokers were again in evidence,
taking these offerings and placing
difference. Crop accounts continue to
be of the most hattering character as
one correspondent reports too good to
last" Receipts are very light and the
insight movement is expected to lose
some thirty thousand bales as COM
pared with last season. The visible
supply is expected to lose sharply Sat-
urday

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.

New Orleans, May 26.-Spot cotton
quotations were unchanged.
The market for contracts furnished
something of surprise to the talent
to-day when the confidently expected
advance at Liverpool failed to mate
rialize, but instead went off from to
Add. New York was also Z to II
points lower. Locally prices which
opened very near Saturdays range
sagged steadily. Operators on the long
side as a rule were encoura ged by light
receipts. After unimportant f1uctua-
tions the market at the close showed
net losses of Z to points on the near
months, including September and to
8 points on the more distant positions.

COTTON FUTURES.

New. York. May 26-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices 1 to 5
points lower and continued to ease off
after the call under struggling sales
by commission houses and absence of
speculative support. Wall street bear
interests were quiet sellers of the sum-
mer months and the foreign business
also went to the short side. Local ar
bitrage houses bought the near months
here, but sold freely in Liverpool, caus-
ing that market to weaken rapidly af-
ter at one time being firm and 2 to 8
points higher on the near months.
The receipts at the ports and interior
towns were light and the Southern
spot market reports told of firmly held
cotton. Yet these influences were
counteracted by splendid crop and
weather conditions over the entire belt.
In the afternoon there was a report
that millions of grasshoppers were at
lacking the plant in Texas and this
sent prices up some 5 points, all
of which was soon lost, however,
in the absence of substantial support
from the commission houses, The
whole trend of local sentiment seemed
to favor lower prices and each slight
advance was used by the bears as an
opportunity for putting out short cot
ton while spurts of liquidation by pub
lie longs were taken advantage of to
cover. The market was listless and
unsatisfactory most of the day with to-
tai sales estimated at not over $4,000
bales. Everything in the way of stocks
was bullish, but seemed to have been
discounted. The market was finally
quiet and net 3 to II points lower.

H. q b. Beer,s cotton Letter.


New Orleans. May 26.-Liverpool ad-
vances were Disappointing, but our
market. however, opened l higher on
new months and unchanged to 8 lower
on late.
Some buying shortly after held
values temporarily, until very favor
able crop advices from all sections
were received, causing a break of s
to from the top. In the afternoon a
squirt of to was established On a
report from Cameron, Tex, claiming
that grasshoppers had made their APP
pearance in that section and were do
ing considerable damage. As soon as
this demand was satisfied, values eased
off, going back to the previous level,
closing at a net loss of to points on
old crop options. and 8 to ON new.
The movement continues light and OK
porters are apathetic as ever stating
that II is impossible to enter into new
engagements on the present basis,
since the local market is the highest
relatively in the world. The daily
weather conditions are being watched
closely, because operators are being at
ira cted to the new crop months. The
weekly weather report, which will be
issued tomorrow is expected to be IA
Vorable. 1t is admitted by every one
that up to the present time crop pros
poets could hardly be improved upon
still from experience traders have
learned that during July and August,
every season., a rapid deterioration is
reported consequently so far, there has
been no disposition shown to sell these
positions short, owing to the heavy dis
counts existing in them under the sum-
ner months.
