STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 16.-The illness of
e. H. Hartman made its influence felt
in to-day's stock market and this was
supplemented by the showing made by
the banks, which was interpreted as
poor by the trading element The weak
ness of Southern Pacific was directly
traceable to the condition of the health
of the president of the company The
stock declined an extreme IL, touching
a new low level for the year.
This weakness had some sympathetic
effect elsewhere in the market. St.
Paul and New York Central also made
low record prices for the year. A light
demand from the bears to cover shorts
made an impression just at the close,
which was in consequence steady. The
nominal increase in the cash item Of
the banks was as much as was ex-
pected. The fact that to-day's gold ex-
port of $1,250, 900 to South America was
withdrawn only yesterday and so fig
ured for only one day in the weekly
averages upon which the bank state
ment are computed, left the probable
ity that some effect of the transaction
would be thrown over into next weeks
showing. The increase in loans was
generally regarded as rejecting the
further transfer of obligations from
foreign TO domestic lenders. During
the money stringency of last fall the
recall of over-extended foreign credits
was an important factor in upsetting
the money market. The tendency to
cut down these foreign credits is now
viewed with satisfaction in financial
circles. But the professional senti-
ment on the Stock Exchange confined
itself to the bare showing OF the state
ment with it's consequent inroad upon
the surplus reserve.

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. May 16.-Taking into
consideration our decided weakness at
the close yesterday, the Liverpool stu
alton was very encouraging to-day,
that market losing but 2@4 points.
This, together with the weekly statis-
ties was bullish feature. The latter
showed a loss in American stocks the
past week of $4,000, and the total Amer
lean there to-day as 337 900 bales less
than last year. No wonder spinners
abroad are growing nervous. To reme-
dy the situation Manchester spinners
have suggested to work on short time
and advices this morning indicate that
Southern spinners will adopt similar
measures, but it is regarded that the
world will require, after all, certain
amount of cotton, which must be pur-
chased in the long run, hence the de-
termination to restrict production
should not interfere with the upward
movement in prices. The opening this
morning showed unimportant changes.
Receipts promised to be very light, and
the movement on the whole is assuming
a bullish character. There was some
little rain in the Atlantic and Gulf
states. Prices eased off SOS points dur
ing the morning on profit taking by re-
cent BUYERS. Port receipts pointed to
900 bales, against 2,700 last year.

New York, May 16.-Our market
opened with sales of July at 1O.75@10. rs
@10.77c, closed 10.71c, and after selling
at TO- 3010.64c ruled at 1850 at II a.
m. While Liverpool opened lower the
decline had little effect until a stream
of small liquidating orders caused a
break to the lowest point, which was
some Is points below yesterdays close
on August. From this point there was
a sharp rally on supporting orders ap-
parently from New Orleans
Receipts are heavy at the interior
and the weather is better, but the trade
thinks reaction about over and looks
for a better market on Monday. Sup
plies are so concentrated that spinners
may go on short time. 1t looks like a
contest between the spinners who are
Influenced by rather poor trade in
America, and the bull party. The spot
market was quiet, 10 points decline.

The cotton futures market furnished
the business attraction again to-day,
though the decided tendency, regard
less of the occasional rallies, was for
lower prices. The market appeared to
a marked desire on the part of longs
to unload a part of their, holdings be-

ion is fast forming locally that spin
ners have decided to remain out of the
market until the present unsettled con-
ditions are adjusted. Cotton is being
offered sparingly from the interior, and
the business done through brokers
during the day was very limited.
Turpentine looks sick according to
the view many take of the situation.
The market ruled firm at Acc, through
out the day. with no urgent demand to
be supplied from any quarter. Hence
there was no sharp competition to push
the market upward or maintain activ-
ity in the trading. Resins closed firm
at the prices which appear under that
heading. The wholesale markets
closed steady. Details Of the different
markets follow:
