Cochran & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

(By G.. w. Lee IL Coz
New York, May 1.-The week has been
particularly interesting one from the
standpoint of those watching the course
of fluctuations in the manipulated posi-
lions, as well as to those whose interest
lies In the fall months The real feature,
of course was the delivery of some 10000
bales of cotton on May contracts on
Tuesday, but this was without effect upon
the prices, and only insofar as a new In
terest has been disclosed in that option,
was the event of Importance.
The Philadelphia spot people have taken
the cotton delivered on May contracts,
and from all that can be learned both
Philadelphia and New England houses
the May problem. 1t is always interest
ing to get the views of people outside OF
cotton circles, and two such views have
recently come to our notice that show
| the differences in public opinion over thu
cotton situation. The head of one OF the
large western roads-a man noted Tor his
business sagacity and general informa-
ton on the value of commodities as well
as securities says that II the country
does not raise a bumper crop of cotton
this season he does not see what the cot
ton spinners of the world are going to do
next year. 1t is generally admitted that
consumption will be In the neighborhood
Of IL, 100000 bales, and equally certain
that there is going to be no reserve out
of this seasons supply and demand to
carry into the coming year. Last year
the visible supply was diminished to the
extent OF 100000 bales, and ii now looks
as though the figures on September /
would be as small as at any time since
the civil war This condition has created
great deal of interest in the early fail
months when every bale of cotton is like
~ TO be in demand. This gentleman was
rather optimistic on the prospect of
prices for such futures as October, now
selling at a &c discount under spot cotton.
The second view, and relative to the
summer positions, is one expressed by
Won street man whose knowledge of
conditions Is derived from the public
press. He Is very much inclined to re-
gard the manipulation in May cotton as
rather similar to that undertaken by Mr..
Letter six years ago in the wheat market.
As such attempts uniformly end in disas-
ter, many people regard cotton at 10 or
10skc as a fairly safe sale. But this view
is hardly founded on actual facts and fig
ures Port and interior stocks amount to
about 100000 bales, against 100000 last
year, 1.21l,000 two yedrs ago and 100000 In
1900. The New York stock Is very small,
and what little cotton there is here is In
the control of spot people, 1t is not as
though the manpulators were buying.
buying, buying cotton. They are simply
holding on to the May cotton bought at
&C. SIC and She. 1t would not seem,
therefore, that spots and the longs have
cause for anxiety.

eaxter Z cos cotton letter.

New York, May Another cold spell
in the south, and more especially in the
southwest. gave opportunity for further
advance in prices 3 to 7 points when we
opened. Cables were also favorable on ac-
count of low temperature, and although
foreign and local markets were only
moderately active, there was more dispo-
sition to support the market The fact
is the weather situation is beginning to
attract greater attention, and this is as
it should be. 1t is time that the crop
had such a start, which it has not yet
had. The fact that there is plenty OF
time to make a good crop is not enough,
especially since the start is undoubtedly
quite late. For this reason there is grow
ing confidence In the later months. which
are not subject 10 control by the clique,
but by stubborn facts, and a good deal
of attention is now being given to them

ton, and there IVES 4 general indisposi-

LOCAL MARKETS.

The apathy in the local cotton market
Is the only thing worthy of note these
days. There is decidedly nothing doing.
Prices continue steady and there were
no new developments for yesterday.
Stocks and bonds are quiet. Quotations
are unchanged
Morris avenue was quiet yesterday
There was an absence of any thing ap-
preaching liveliness among the fruit and
produce men. Fruit of all varieties con-
tinues rather scarce. Oranges, apples and
bananas are not as abundant as usual.
The prices, however, are firm.
A limited supply Of spring chickens
were on sale. The brollers are few in
number and command fancy price.
There was not much produce to be seen
along the avenue yesterday. About the
only lines on sale were few barrels of
new crop potatoes and the ever-present
cabbage.
No changes in the prices of local staple
groceries are noted. The market is very
quiet at present and fluctuations are the
exception rather than the rule The trad
ing in meats and lard is brisk but all 9TH
er lines are easy.
Hides and wool are steady.
