ANXIETY OVER BIG STRIKE

New York, May 22.-Today's stock mar
ket was extremely irregular throughout
and closed with that tendency rather en-
phasized. The same stocks changed their
course In some cases and the prevailing
disposition of the speculation was hard
to distinguish and was, in fact much
confused and mixed. The anxiety over
the coal strike was rather deeper on
account of implied threats Of the eng1n-
GERS. firemen and pump runners IN the
anthracite mines to come out unless an
eight hour day is granted them. This
would bring the struggle to an acute
stage, as the safety of the mines Is oe-
pendent upon the work being done. some
of the steel stocks were heavy in tone
as a result of the effect Of the coal strike.
which is beginning to be felt in that IN
dustry. This did not prevent jump OF
10 points in Lackawanna and late squirt
in Delaware and Hudson. The culmina-
ton of the recent extended rise in Cana
dian Pacific and its sharp reaction ma
turally had some sympathetic influence
upon the rest of the market. There was
no news to account for the setback any
the rise and the movement seemed to be
due purely to speculative profit taking.
The late break in the stock to below 1873
helped to unsettle the close. A break of
points in Ann Arbor preferred was prob
ably the result of the settlement of con-
troll of that property.
The United States rubber stocks suf-
fered from the poor financial showing of
the company for the past year. st. Paul

carriers, but it was not followed with
activity, and Union Pacific was rather
persistently heavy, offsetting the effect.
Of st. Paul's advance of 2ss. The news
from the crop region was considered en-
eouraging. Another, center of strength
was Amalgamated Copper. The gains in
the American smelling stocks and in Ma
tlonal Lead were allied to this, all be-
ing the outgrowth of the advancing ten
dency of raw copper. The meeting of sup
port of silver is benefit to smelling
stocks. The speculative interest in small
railroads keeps alive, and was fostered
today by the rumors of the acquisition
of the Columbus, Shawnee and Hooking
Valley in the interest of the Wabash, au-
1horita lively denied, and a new combina-
ton # Hartman railroads. including a
number Of smaller properties for which
no official sanction could be obtained.
The mopey market continued quite easy,
with call loans ruling at 4 per cent lower,
and with the sterling exchange market
showing no disposition to advance again.
New York exchange at Chicago showed
a further reaction today and the move
rlnent of currency from that point to New
York is believed to be about ended. The
market closed active and extremely ir-
regular.

cotton Letter.

C. w. Lee & Co.'s Cotton Letter to II.
d. Cothran & Co.
New York May 22.-The market opened
up this morning and then broke sharply
IL points.
The profit-taking was heavy and a
great many shorts who covered lower
put out cotton at 8 cents for July and
81 cents for August. The buyers who
have lost money put stops on their cot
ton pretty close to the market and when
the break started prices ran through stop
loss orders very rapidly. On an advance
of 81 a bale so suddenly a decline is nat
ural. AS their will be no Liverpool mar
ket for some days, we look for a dull
period here, and would rather not buy
cotton. The price is likely to work back
considerably before cotton will be a
buyer again.
The weather is very good, and while
receipts carry the price up after periods
of depression. the situation is not what
1t was some weeks ago before new crop
influences began.
AS the season progresses 1t will be
found that there is not the bull in the
market there has been. For this reason
profits in such an advance as we had to-
day should be taken, and there is not
much danger In shorting the new crop
over cents as long as the weather con-
tinues 80 favorable.
The strong statistical position may pre-
vett much of break this week. but we
would not buy cotton except on breaks
for some time to come.

Murphy & Co. cotton Letter.


New York. May 22.-There was little
In the way OF news when the cotton mar
ket opened today. Prices made a small
advance, but the higher tendency was
not accomplished by much buying es-
pecially when 1t was seen that Liverpool
was showing no great anxiety to grade
spot cotton, although she advanced quo
tations somewhat. There IL more dispo-
sition to bull the market than the past
week, but bulls are fearful of the fine
weather and bears of small receipts. Sell
ing on liberal scale set in towards the
noon hour, causing quite a slump. Liver
pool closed at a fair advance but the
fact that she will remain closed tomorrow
and Saturday had bad effect. The fear
being that local speculation would there
by be curtailed. Reports were coming in
of splendid crop prospects every where,
although few bulls cling to the idea that
the weekly government report next week
will show damage in Texas as result of

RECEIPTSWERE AGAIN LIGHT

New York, May 22-The cotton market
opened steady. with prices l to points
higher, and for time displayed strength
on active demand from shorts and moder-
ate buying. The commission house con-
tingent, however, took advantage Of this
further improvement In prices to secure
profit on cotton which had been carried
through the previous bulge and subse-
quent break, fearing to risk possible ad-
dtional advances later. The receipts
were again very light, the cables reflected
q firm situation abroad and the spot de-
mand was fairly active in the South. On
the other hand, weather and crop re-
ports were almost perfect, while absence
of speculation and a three-day adjourn
ment in Liverpool naturally checked
active support by professional bulls. La
ter In the morning the first hour advance
was wiped out and slight net loss re-
corded. For the balance of the day the
market dragged slowly lower and specu-
lation dwindled to a scattering profess
sional interchange of accounts. Wall
street bear interests seemed to be selling
freely throughout the day, presumably on
the fine crop reports and absence of COM
mission house support The official esti-
mates for tomorrow's receipts pointed to
continued light movement and bullish
weekend statistics. In the last half hour
the market sold down to $3.50 for July and
$50 for August under a scramble of room
longs to sell.
The close was steady, net to is points
lower. Total sales were estimated at $780,
900 bales, which was mostly present crop
