 NEW ORLEANS. May 2t.-Liverpool advces were very unfavorable. consequently our mar ket opened 2o934 points lower and declined 5 points additional shortly after on realizing A little later a fresh buying wave set in and oecasioned an improvement of 5d2o from the bottom. In the afternoon lack of support ing orders and general desire to lqudate was instrumental in forcing a decline of 20 63S from the tcp or near months and 2oG22 on the late. near the close values steadied slightly. making the net loss 26 points on May, 3i on July. 49 August and 27d28 on the new crop months. The steady, rapid and sharp enhancement In prices which has been going on for several weeks, cum mated today when least expected. The optimistic feeling prevalent throughout the world and active manipulation have been instrumental in building up a large speculative long in- terest in all markets while present prices are considered dangerous by conservative mer- chants. the majority of trade seem to be of the opinion that ultimately higher levels wlll be reached under present circumstances though we suggest that our friends be unusu- ally conservative in their operations. irrespec- tive Of what their opinions may be because when fluctuations range from 30 to 50 points daily 1t makes 1t hazardous to have much il terest in such wild and cratic markets less well margined especially when legitimate influences are entirely ignored.

NEW YORK. May 2.-Thc expected hap pened. After the advance in October last night, which was out of all reason and sim ply indicated the last gasp of the dying bear speculator, 1t was evident that something on the other side of the market must be looked for before many days. We had rather expected that no severe smash would take piece until after the May affair was over. but had not looked for such a wild advance as, that taking place during the last hour yesterday. No market can stand that sort of thing no matter how valuable cotton may be. To have a Fall option sell at e.oe one day and e.76 the next Is without reason and is not a con- dition that invites the attention of conserva- tive traders. AS the market looks today there are thousand and one reasons for getting out of every bale of long cotton in Fall posi- tion. We take 1t that there Is no cotton held for July or August account by those who are trying to make money in this market. From the various rumors current on the floor today McFadden Is against an advance in July. Any one familiar with the importance of the Phil adelphia interest can gather what this means. The average speculator would prefer the oppo- sition of almost any one else in the cotton business. The niaIket may hold a day or two longer even to the first of June. but after that there must be serious decline. Having made handsome profits through the purchases of October all the day from 6h there is no reason for retaining an interest in Fall months until after the market has & cleaning out in every direction. The banks are believed to be averse to the present imitation in July and August and for this reason speculation will be on diminished scale for a time.

 NEW ORLEANS. May 2I.-The opening of the days general cotton markets were full of sensations and surprises. In the first place Liverpool took the lead in the demoralzation, opening there at 66lQ points down the Summer positions with the late options un- changed to points lower: spots there quoted off l2 points. Of course. the weakness the her side was expected to be reflected in the American markets and the decline recorded h.re at the opening surpassed the expectation of the most sangulne shorts and in turn disappointmt to the hopeful longs. The course of the market later was easy and s.eady m turns. the result of much nervous ness on the part of irrge interests battling for supremacy in this tug of war which was ,onsible for the violent fluctuations that oc- cured, under the wave of liquidation the cotton market continued very feverish through ut the day. Among the more conservative op- orators the impression seems to prevail that heavy declines of the day had liquidated the greater part of the weak long interest, which should leavo the market in a healthier condl- ton. While this may be partly true, at the me time speculation for the moment Is un- der a great strain of suspense due to the marked combined opposition of the Liverpool and New York to any further improvement so we strongly advise against transactions in any months this side of September. as the hands of certain interests, both here and in New York. who might at any moment effect a settlement which might prove disastrous to the outsider. After opening here at 54 33 points decline on the near positions. and with the distant months lowered 25d27, final prices on the day here were at 27q49 points decline.

sion. there was @ decidedly mixed ruling In the cotton future market today. The Liver pool cables reflected unusual weakness abroad, the English market being io@l2 points lower than expected. The weather map continued to show favorable conditions throughout the belt and the receipts at most points continued quite full, the port arrivals greatly exceeding those of last year. These factors naturally ex-. erted a bearish influence. but the bears were held in check in a measure by the sensational attitude of the late bull operator from New Orleans. The market at times suffered in con sequence from lack of disposition among the big traders to take the lead. The market ap- peared to be in just such position that false move in either direction would cause widespread ruination in some circles. Under the circumstances the greatest caution was exercised in most trading circles On the lower levels, there was some buying in the new crop positions. but the fluctuations reflected nervousness and uncertainty. There were pe- riods of comparative quietness during the day which accepted indication that the manipulative movement was wanting The liquidation in the July delivery was on tremendous scale at the close. And the price reducing in this option attracted great deal of fresh talk with regard to the difference between the several leaders In the pit.

 NEW YORK, May 2l,-The cotton market or ned excited and large blocks were thrown over by holders who got scared because of sensational break in the Liverpool market, al- together the decline fell below what was feared. only 9u27 loss taking place. whereas double that was feared The contest for con- trol seemed to he far frcm the eliminating point. although the rise hls exceeded all ex pectations: in fact expectations and prediH tons are counting for little and the oldest and experienced and wealthest people have been simply swamped far as regards the matter of astuteness in foreseeing what has come to pass. The impossibility of prices go ing higher had been preached all over the country until all the I)untry was impressed with the wisdom of selling short and have been scrambiinS to cover and confronted with crop prospect poor as possible to make covering fashionable for sometime. After the opening large blocks of July were thrown on the market and the whole list weakened the selling being so extensive to suggest the rossible creating of new short interest before a great while. although cents decline WAS on the program according to the wise heads on the bear side The sharp reaction wes largely due to the poor showing in Liverpool market At all events the old crop months were unnn4rcifuiiy pounded and while the new crop naturally suffered thereby the latter found considerable favor and 1t was felt that they were worthy of support under exlsting uncer- tain crop conditions. Cables were 7922 below yesterday.
