NEW ORLEANS. June 3-The celebration of
peace terminated very abruptly in Liverpool
Foreigners were rudey aroused from their
pleasant CONCENTRATIONS by the knowledge that
the Bureau pr Agriculture would announce
the area OF cotton under cultivation and the
condition of the growing crop, which, accord
ing to private advices was about as favorable
as on: could expect. Traders in the English
markes accordingly proceeded to anticipate
the effect of the bureau and accomplished their
purpose with zeal that could almost claim
Identity by most approved modern methods
Before the close deliveries registered decline
OF 10 points while spots had been marked off
3-32 earlier in the day. Liverpool's action
and general confidence in a bearish Govern
ment report occasioned sufficient pressure
here to cause a sharp additional decline after
which nervous tone prevailed without much
further change in prices. The bureau indi-
Gated an average condition of the crop Of
3d. or 5 points within perfection. The acre
than last year. which. based the figures
OF the census report, makes 81 $50. 900 acres

influence of this feature had been pretty
well discounted during the last few days so
there was little left to be done today and the
shock that was looked for failed to occur
With the bureau disposed of for 80 days at

Murphy g. Co.'S Gnc.) Cotton Letter.
TRy Private Wire

NEW YORK June 3.-Prices suffered a
serious decline in the cotton market today and
the opening was rather demoralized despite the
feeling that the crop report to be issued later
on would reveal too many good features to
Justify support at the moment and which has
been the cause of extensive liquidation for
some days. There was fresh selling pressure
which brought out no little long stun despite
the fact that the decline has already been a
serious one. The feeling is that nothing is
in sight to offset the brilliant crop prospects
so far this season. the temper of the trade is
to be governed by present conditions rather
than by disturbing developments later such
as prolonged drought. excessive rains, etc, all
of which is possible and are borne in mind
by astute operators who say that crop scare
is bound to come. Receipts at the ports were
estimated at 1000 against $4,000 last year.
Liverpool closed at the lowest of the day.
Statements were current that the mill holdings
at certain points were extremely high. The
bureau report at noon indicated e5. condi-
ton against SI5 last year. and the acreage
was practically unchanged from last year.
The immediate effect was slight decline
with pronounced expressions Of opinions on
either side, there being disposition to await
the result abroad nasmuch as the figures had
been largely anticipated. but the feeling was
