 The coffee market for futures opened steady, with prices to 10 points higher, and after the call further advanced to 10 points on brisk general buying led by Wall street commission houses and room shorts. Baltimore and local importers sold, as has been their policy for some time past. Firmer European cables and rather lighter Brazilian receipts than predicted were the chief factors of sup port.
 Later in the day the whole list eased off under realizing by local longs. The market was finally quiet and net points higher. Total sales 27,50O bags. June 520; July 5.30; August $40; September 5.5O@ 555; October 5.60; December 5.75Q5 80: January 5s5; February 5.95; March 5.95@ G; April 6.05.

Murphy 6, Co.,. Cotton Letter.

New York, May 16.-The market for cotton had an ugly look early in the morning. due in measure to the coal strike and a number of other bear1sh features, such as generous rains where needed and a number of splendid crop reports from the South. The market declined to 10 points in the first half hour when a more conservative temper was displayed. Receipts were quite ltb- eral and movement for the week was so near expectations as to have no influence on the market. Stop orders in many quart CTS, especially from Wall street, helped the lower tendency and the un- deriving tone was weak. especially as manipulators were talking one way and acting contrary in attempt to shape the course of prices. Some fear was eK- pressed of too much rain causing grass in some sections. The weekly Liverpool report was in some respects bearish and in some bullish. The all kinds decreased for the week 1s,000 but are still 2SO,OOO ahead of last year, while the American lost 10, 900 and is still 39,500 ahead of last year. The afloat stock gained 5000 and Is now 5000 less than last year. while the American gained 1000 and Is 55,0OO less than last year. Some Texas accounts were that although crop conditions are quite fine generous rains will be needed for the balance of the season and that these must be well distributed. In sight for the week, 60,0O0 vs. S0,000 last year.

Cotton Letter.

c. w. Lee & Co.'S Letter to Cothran
 & Go.
 New York, May 16.-It was very much such a market as was to be expected on the action of Liverpool. There prices broke to the low point something had to break here. It proved to be July this time on some of the heaviest selling we have yet seen in the market. At first there was tendency to cover short cotton, and this sent prices 8 to 10 points up. It was then the old story of buying cotton against conditions. When holders at- tempted to sell the whole thing collapsed, July breaking from S.9S to S.S4, and Au- gust from S.69 to S.5S. The last break was started by heavy selling in July by broker supposed to operate for the crowd recently interested in the long side. From all appearances we should say this was short cotton. We don't like the idea of selling July short in such blocks. little bad weather would make short covering difficult With August on the way towards lower figures it was to be expected that July would break through some cause or other. It was more on short selling the last half hour than liquidation On a break below S1k for August there may be another upturn. We would rather cover short cotton on a break tomorrow than sell at the moment. The market, however. appears to be bear market, and Is working towards a lower level.

QUICK SHIFT TO BULL SIDE

New York, May 16.-The cotton market opened easy with prices 2 to points low CT under active local foreign and Wall Street selling prompted by weakness in Liverpool, reports of further general rains in the belt and cheerful crop account. Belief that a prominent |" all Street oper- ator was leading large selling move ment in the summer months frightened would-be buyers and disheartened sum- mer longs. The first wave of selling did not subside until July had dropped to sss and August to S.5S Then came quick shift to the bull side by room trad CTS on talk of very large exports esu- mates for light receipts tomorrow, eull- ish predictions for the weekend state ments, and claims that too much rain had fallen in some portions of the west ern belt July stiffened to S.9S and August to S69.
 For A. time the market had every ap- pearance of doing still better, though out side support came forward slowly. Once more Wall street selling became domi- hating influence and prices quickly lost the entire advance. During the balance of the session the room was in state or unrest with prices sensitive to orders from either side. Port receipts reached less than 5000 bales and export clearances were nearly 25OO bales.
 The worlds visible supply lost loOoVV bales as compared with 9s,oO0 the same week last year. But in spite of the strong statistical showing the market refused to show real strength. The close was quiet with prices net to IA points lower Total sales were estimated at 25O,OOO.
