LOCAL MARKETS.

The markets were all dull yesterday, as is usual on Saturday afternoon. Cotton IS quoted at the same prices. There has not been change in the quotations for several weeks. and the market has been practically at a standstill.
 Local securities closed quiet and steady. The week has been uneventful. Prices for both stocks and bonds have been firm.
 Morris avenue has done a good busi- ness during the past week. All varieties of fruit have been very active, and fair volume of sales was reported. The sum mer fruits are beginning to come in now. Peaches, plums, blackberries and similar varieties have been plentiful. The heavy sale of strawberries has fallen off a great deal during the week, and dealers are not carrying such large stocks as formerly. Oranges, bananas and a few apples were sold
 Large shipments of spring vegetables have been arriving almost daily. A lot of beans. tomatoes and other vegetables have been sold at good prices.
 More poultry than usual has been seen along the avenue. Yesterday quite a number of GOODS were on sale. The ship ments of eggs have not been very heavy.
 The feature of the staple grocery mar ket during the week was the excitement in grain, As a result of the floods in the middle west and rust and drouth in other sections, oats have gone up. This has caused a rise in the price of flour. Corn is also up. AA

in this market all helped to discourage buyers In fact, until something very decisive happens to change our views on the cotton outlook we grow more strong ly convinced that there is no great money to be made in buying cotton at the mo- ment with each days developments. This does not mean that we have changed our ideas on the value of October. It simp- ly means-that for the moment the advance seems to have discounted unfavorable factors and that prices are more likely to have set back than to soar at the mo- ment. With any improvement in wealth CT the next bureau report will be better and with an improving tendency of the crop spinners will not buy new crop on tiens at 91k in sufficient quantities to bull the market For the time being we would content ourselves with watching the course of prices waiting for a basis of about aA on October before buying the cotton sold out recently.

Liverpool Market.
White Commission Co.'s Cotton Lett

Liverpool, June 6.-Today Is holiday on the cotton exchange.
 White Commission Co.'s Cotton Letter.
 New York, June 6-The crop situation continues to attract the bulk of atten- tion in the cotton pit. The arguments are advanced that cotton crops after starting at a low condition seldom show better condition as the year progresses. Whether at the indignation of the bull element in the south remains to be seen, but 1t is generally believed that much of the news regarding the crop must be accepted with a little doubt at the present time. The movement of cotton shows falling off, and with 10 451, ,0oo bales in sight thus far this season, the crop for the forth-com- ing year is not promising small in view of the estimates on the present acreage, and, allowing for small improvement In condition, will aggregate between lO,oOO'- GOO and 1l,500, GOO bales. The New Orleans crowd continues confident that higher prices will prevail but the demand for spots are only moderate. and some of the big spot houses have been selling great deal of cotton of late It Is estimated that bales during the past few days, this cot ton representing the new crop would sug- eest that the chances are that there is likely to be a curtailed consumption dur ing the next year. The cotton cloth trade at the present time Is without special im- portance. The market is dull and prices in some gections are being barely main tained. The foreign advices in this con- nection are rather disappointing reflect ing considerable nervousness on the part of spinners. At the close there was rather a mixed feeling.

Baxter 0 co.,a stoek Letter,

New York, June 6.-For the first half hour the market showed considerable hrmness; the impetus of yesterdays late rally was felt on the opening quotations. and an effort of the bears to dislodge the market met little or no success, Improve ment followed, which caused a rally in St. Paul, Missouri Pacific and Central Pacific, which extended to 1 per cent or little over. The weather conditions west showed improvement, but there were un- favorable reports regarding corn pros poets, which induced some selling of Atchison and Union Pacific. On the con- trary the thoroughly excellent accounts of spring wheat crops contributed to sus- tain St Paul. The high priced coalers ad- vanced sharply. The publication of the bank statement led te renewed selling, but only in case of Avhison did reaction exceed point. Although the decrease in surplus reserve was larger than expect ed. the infiunce upon speculation was re- markedly small.
 In the final dealings there was renewed pressure upon Atchison, Missouri Pa- cihc and Union Pacific, and the market closed irregular and somewhat unsettled. Sales of stocks 30900OO.

 New York. June 6.-EIad 1t not been for the fact that many traders were afraid Liverpool on Monday would not meet the decline that has taken place in the mar : ket during the colsing there, prices would have been lower here today. As It was, December ran off to s.3l where active bidding by one or two traders ran the price up to s.3s without getting more than a few hundred bales of cotton. No one seemed willing to sell and the few shorts having profits were willing to se- cure them before Sunday. Weather de- yeiopments were generally favorable, figures on the visible supply revealed the fact that stocks of American cotton are rapidly catching up with the 1900 figures and the comparatively easy tone of July
