Receives Hogs on MONDAYS.

D. G. Marsh wishes to announce that
in the future he will receive hogs on
Monday of each week. This arrange
ment will be in the interest of the farm
ers, as by confning himself to receiving
hogs on one day, he will not be put to
the expense of feeding them until he has
secured enough to make a shipment.
He will be able to pay better prices
under this new arrangement.

THE RICE MARKET.

Advices from the South note steady
demand and stronger markets along
the Atlantic coast. Mills at smaller
points have closed out and shut down
for the season; larger points still hold
fair stocks. but as they are inadequate
to meet local and nearby require
ments, factors and planters are dis
posed to market leisurely. hoping
thereby to bring about still higher
plane of values. In New Orleans, and
throughout the Southwest. the move
ment shows advance over previous
week, and while there is an occasional
weak spot or needy holder who is
compelled to sell at some concession
in order to market promptly, the for
ward supply in the main is in the grip
of those who are able and willing to
carry at pleasure. if necessary, over
into new crop. Lowering standards
not infrequently conceal advancing
values and it is now found, while quo
tations are unchanged. when re-
supplies are sought, strict match to
former purchases are unobtainable at
previous figures. Primal holders take
solid comfort in seeing those who pre-
dicted collapse of market, caught short
and forced to pay for their pessimism.

has already commenced. The steady
call and promise of charging demand
foE export has done much to brace
prices at crisal periods throughout the
past season, and there is a looking for
ward to establishment of reciprocal re-
lations with Cuba, by which new chan
nels of distribution will be opened up.
Returns from all points in the South
west, indicate that April was a record
breaker; reported sales were in excess
of any previous month While some
little per cent. of the goods moved~out
was on consignment and speculative
account, the larger part went into reg
ular or distributive channels AS to
the future, it now appears probable
that the established gains will be
maintained, and further advance Sc
cured. All depends upon the larger
holders-if they are content to feed the
market discreetly, there is no reason
why there should not be a permanent

New York, May 15.-The market this
morning opened at a decline of 2@4
points, contrary to expectations of a

fully up to the mark when we opened,
but somehow selling orders predomi-
mated and the trade was soon at sea
as to the probabilities. Bull leaders
during the recent campaign were cred
tied with the intention of inaugurating
a new bull market. The movement was
small enough to attract attention, the
price has been worked down, some
claim too rapidly for existing condi-
tions, and the main bear points are

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. May 15.-The passive con-
dition of the speculation was not
changed to-day The volume of the
dealings fell away to what is proverb-
tally known as midsummer dullness.
This condition of the stock market is
by no means abnormal al this season,
due to the usual shifting course of
money resources and the uncertainties
of the crop season.
Overwhelming importance is attach
ed to the fate of the corn crop this
year especially in view of the high
prices of that cereal owing to last
years shortage and the present pros
pect for only part of a winter wheat
crop. AS the corn crop is scarcely
more than in the ground yet, the
chances of the future are almost too
uncertain even for speculative ven
lures. The present waiting attitude of
the market is therefore entirely rea-
sonable and natural So far as the sit
uation is strained and unnatural in any
degree it is due to the recent efforts of
pools and speculative plungers to stir
up an unwarranted activity in the
speculation and to bid up prices to I'M
stable nights. The money furry last
week and on Monday was the correc-
tive influence and has resulted in the
present conditions. The dullness is ac-
element of uncertainty in the threat
ened strike of anthracite miners.
Most of the price movements of any
consequence in to-day's stock market
might be traced to the influence of the
acquisition of the Chicago, Indianapo-
lis and Louisville jointly by the South
ern Railway and Louisville and Nash
vile. The strength of the Chicago and
Alton stocks and Kansas City South
ern was obviously based on a specula-
tive assumption that both these roads
might be availa BILE for similar North
and South junction.
In spite Of the Strengthening of com
peting lines by the deal, Illinois Cen
trail was strong. Louisville and Nash
Vile was heavy, possibly on realizing
and the early demand for Southern
Railway soon died out. The Chicago
Indianapolis and Louisville stocks
themselves were feverish, relapsing
violently after advancing. A drop in
Chicago and Eastern Illinois. which
has been discussed as a possible outlet
for Louisville and Nashville reflected
disappointment. The upward move

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, with prices 1 point
higher to. points lower, and for a,
short time was rather heavy under
room selling, based on large port re-
cefpts, rather disappointing Liverpool
cables and absence of aggressive public
support. Then came a sharp rise which
carried July from cole to 9.OSc, on a
small scare of shorts and support from
Wall street interests, started by talk
of too much rain in parts of the west
ern belt and predictions for very bull
ish weekly statements tomorrow. But
as commission houses did not re-enter
the market, and as New Orleans I'D
Liverpool reflected a tired feeling
among longs, the market here declined
again and closed quiet and steady, net
SOS points lower. Speculation was
tame much of the session. The private
crop accounts were unquestionably the
best received at this time in the session
in several years. Showers to soaking
rains were forecasted for. pretty much
the entire belt tonight and tomorrow.

strong on a small volume of business
showing how uncertain are the views of
the trade as to the course of prices.
European advices were hardly as fav-
orable as anticipated, and there has
been at times a supply of July cotton
offering, which would point to realiz-
ing orders. On the other hand, the
trade looks for a decrease in the visible
supply statement tomorrow, which
they expect will do more than sustain
prices. In short, local feeling is more
bullish than of late, without the en-
couragement of the large outside spec
ulation. New crop advices are very
favorable, and there is each day a
growing disposition to transfer trans
actions to the new crop, leaving the old
crop positions to be fought out between
the parties largely interested. Gener-
ally the same view is held by all that
the market is purchase for Neturn on
all breaks, but that any sustained bull
movement, barring manipulation"
must come in a change from crop ac-
counts.

New Dreams, May 15.-Liverpool ad-
vices were not encouraging, therefore
our market opened 2 to lower, but
subsequently advanced s to Z on near
and 4 on new, owing to fresh buying
superinduced by the light receipts.
The lack of demand for spots and alb
sence of outside buying occasioned cas-
mess near the close, making the net
loss to points on old crop options
and to on new. The amount to be
brought into sight during the week is
estimated at $4,000, against $4,000 last
year. and 81, 900 year before last. The
visible supply statement is expected to
be very bullish tomorrow, as there
has been a large relative loss in the
American, Indian and Egyptian move
ments during the present week. Good
rains were reported to-day from Tex
as. Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi
and are considered beneficial in the
latter three states, being essential for
the terminating of the late planted
seed, complaints of which were made
in last Tuesdays government report.
EXPORTERS are apathetic, and spinners
evidence no eagerness to enter into
new gagements on the present ba-
sis. consequently it is anticipated that
light receipts will continue until there
is an improved export demand for
spots. Supply and demand will in
fluence old crop months and the new
win be regulated by weather cond-
tons.
