New York. May 19.-There has been
only a quiet market today in any de-
partment All staples in cotton goods
are being ordered in quite large quanti-
ties. Print cloths are dull and un-

but knit underwear slow.
NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, May 1.-the cotton market
opened steady with prices 3 points high
er to two points lower and then weaken

Wall Street, and the absence of substan-
tal speculative support. Later, July
broke to S65 and August to S.39 and
for time the whole list gave symptoms
of further weakening. But whereas
early crop reports had been bearish, late
messages from the central and western
belt complained of too much rain, high
winds and damage to young cotton.
Light port and interior receipts, with
small estimates for tomorrow receipts,
combined to give the market a healthier
appearance later in the day. During the
afternoon shorts devoted themselves al
most exclusively to wriggling out of their
predicament, and found very little cotton
for sale. A telegram from New
Orleans stated that bull leaders were
bidding for blocks of 10000 bales May
and 10000 bales July without finding
sellers. The weather forecast indi-

portion of the belt tonight and tomor-
row, while the impression spread that

bullish showing of statistics in general
at the close of the week. The market
was finally very steady with prices net

estimated ct 100000 bales, considera-

Purinton Bros. have just received
y tons of WEIGH coal. They report
that the chances of getting a
cargo of hard coal are now very poor,

purchase through middlemen instead of
direct from the operators. This is the
only way they can get any promise of
