The source Of The depression which ruled
in the sto * market today. This was re-
inforced by the anthracite labor situation
as shown by the suspension of work to-
day in the anthracite region, and by

made by the Agricultural Department

condition Of the banks on Saturday suffi-
cicntly indicated that some recuperatvc
process would be used this week The
heavy decline of over $4,000, 900 in the
cash reserves of the banks had little
light thrown upon it today, and was a
puzzle even to bankers. 1t was
argued that the trust companies
night be taking steps to build up their
cash reserves in accordance with the in
timation from the clearing house author
tiles and of current public discussion and
of criticism of the present financial sit
uation The only additional light on the
subject was the report that a heavy
shipment Of cash was made to Philadel-
rbia last week in furtherance of the
transfer of the Choctaw. Oklahoma and
Gulf and which did not figure in the

pressure fer funds outside of the stock

DEPRESSION IN THE STOCK MARKET

New York, May 12.-There has been no
change in the general character of the
market today, the week opening quietly
in all departments Staple and fancy
cotton goods here are without change
in prices. Print cloths are easy and
regulars have sold outside of Fall River
at SIC. per yard. Cotton hosiery and
underwear is in moderate demand and
tone of market quiet.
COTTON.
New York, May 1.-THE cotton mark
ct opened steady with prices unchanged
to points lower, this being an indiffer-
ent response to emphalically bearish
Liverpool cables. After moments hest
tation the market worked slowly but
steadily higher on nervous room buying
to cover shorts and on fairly good sup
port from several prominent commits
sion houses. July crept up to 917 and
August to S91 before this demand in any
measure abated. But as Liverpool did
not fully respond to the Improvement,
and as selling for strong outside in
terests came to the front, the ring ele-
ment took the bear side and for the
rest of the morning the whole list sold
persistently lower. The late cables
from Liverpool reported pronounced
weakness and net decline of 80 to
ga points on futures and 1-32 on spot
cotton. Light port receipts and liberal
export clearances appeared to have little
effect upon local sentiment. Small esti-
mates for 1morrow's receipts at New
Orleans, [ weston and at Houston
failed as well to create new buying of
consequence. Trading was fairly active
taking the day as a whole but for the
most part depressed liquidation. Singu-
larly enough the spot month"; May held
relatively firm throughout the session
and closed at a net rise of 1 point as
against a decline of to points in
other months. The interior town re-
ccipts were small and shipments heavy
causing a further sharp shrinkage in the
stocks there. The weather and crop re-
ports were nearly perfect; rains were
needed in some localities though no
drouth was reported.
