New Orleans, May 2S.-In the spot
cotton market to-day there was a good
inquiry by continental buyers, but the
hrmness of factors who continue to
demand full board figures has retarded
the movement. Quotations unchanged
Futures were dull The chief fea-
ture of the market was it's quiet at
titude. At the opening here prices
were 1 to 5 points lower. The f1uctua-
lions were numerous, but narrow July
sold down to 12.4Oc and up to 12.45c;
August down to 1850 and up to 1870;
September down to 1026c and up to
1O.37c; October down to 9.45c and up
to 9.58c; November down to 931c and
up to 9.37c, and December down to
9.26c and up to $3.50. The market was

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 2S.-The stock mar
ket developed acute weakness again
to-day. This was not a surprise in
view of the hating and doubtful
movements which greeted Yesterdays
attempt to put up prices. There was
an evidence this morning also of pres
sure to sell stocks which encouraged
the professional bears to make a bold
attack on the market
Presenting on the urgent necessities
of sundry holders of securities, the
bears offered down prices briskly and
succeeded in wiping out margins on
speculative holdings and dslodging
stop loss orders, which had evidently
been freely placed all through the
market slightly below the existing
price level. The large selling, which
spread pretty generally through the
list. was as little accounted for by any
news developments as that of last
week and of Monday. 1t was evident
that the fall in prices was itself the
motive for a large part of the SELL
ing, and the maneuvers OF the bears
conduced materially 10 the fall In
prices. This was made clear BY the
substantial rally IN the last three
quarters OF an hour, when the COW

ferings, thus reducing the holdings in
hands of dealers. In the interior
Southwest Louisiana and TeXas-the
the few mills yet in commission are
making their final Exhibits" which are
limited in quantity and bare as to as
sortment. The total supply for the
next four months is less than the
amount carried over at the close of last
years business; hence the outlook is
for strong and advancing market; in
fact, the normal demand at primary
centers, from local or nearby points,
will require more than is in sight, long
before the new crop is available.
Planting is being pushed forward
rapidly that which has already been
seeded is progressing finely, and the
prospects are for a bountiful crop, al
though a late harvest will naturally
follow the greatly retarded planting.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note enlarged demand for car

mand for spot cleaned and a greatly i'm

In Burmah, conditions are more than
usually favorable for a strong market

The cotton market is daily becom-
ing more enigmatical to the trade since
it does not move violently either way,
and gives every sign of holding its
advance unless indications of bump
er crop appear. The trade look for a
full yield to an acreage not very much
in excess of last year, but with this
they claim that as the surplus will
he very small at the close of the pres
ent season consumption will call for
large supplies. The spot markets re-
NAMED steady and mainly unchanged.
Turpentine lost another cents to-
day. closing firm at 47c bid, with the
days transactions small. The pros
poets for an increase in the receipts on
the probable higher temperatures

what exporters are basing their hopes
of a further decline UPON. Resins

good. The wholesale markets closed

NAVAL STORES.

Thursday, May 2S.
SPIRITS-The turpentine market
opened firm at 4Sc, sales so casks, and
closed firm at 47c bid, no sales. The
demand was of desultory sort, and
gave practically no support to the
market at any time. The trade are
looking forward now to full receipts as
a result of more favorable weather,
and upon these exporters expect to see
lower prices. For some time past the
weather has been such as to bring the
movement down to small volume. Ex-
porters have therefore been put to it
in a few cases to obtain supplies in
time for their engagements, which is
given as the explanation for the recent
upward squirt in prices To them the
present reaction is regarded as a nat
ural falling back to the proper basis
after the distress demand was SUP
piled. The receipts to-day were S04
casks, and the exports 1875 casks.
ROSINS-The rosin market opened
firm, sales 1866 barrels. and cicsed firm
and unchanged, sales $50 barrels The
demand was satisfactory throughout
the day. Receipts 1860 barrels, and
the exports S79 barrels. Prices as fol-

ues slowly upward until prices were
net, points lower to points higher.
July reaching SAC, was within
points of its previous high level for
the season, and August sold up to
1O.S4c Then came a considerable peri
cd of irregularity with quotations,
showing little tendency and trade de-
cidedly quiet, but in the last hour this
gave way to more active realizing on
rains in Texas.
Notwithstanding the light estimates
for to-morrows receipts at leading
Southern points, the market reached a
new low level for the day, being finally
easy at net decline of 5@12 points,
with last prices practically at the bot
tom. Total sales of futures were esti-
mated at $4,000 bales. Port receipts
to-day were 4,945 bales, against 36l9
bales yesterday.
The Liverpool market this morning
was due to report of an advance of
from to 8 points. At the time of the
local opening it was 11s points lower to
points higher, and spot cotton there
was points lower in light demand.

New York, May 2S.-Our market
opened with sales of July at 11.26c,

after selling at 11.33@11.34c ruled at

fore the holidays both at home and
abroad Spinners have fallen back on
their reserve supply in Liverpool, and
heavy American selling of the new
crop, together with rather better crop
reports took the edge from their mar
ket. July was in demand all day on
short covering. based on the buying
for Southern account yesterday, May
was slowly liquidated without any mar
ket interest. The market was a holt
day one, with little new trading, and a
quiet market is expected until after
the holidays in Liverpool. Although
July was bought on a large scale all
day. the unsettled condition of Wall
street brought about outside selling
on which the market closed easier The
spot market was dull and unchanged.

expression, that the metal market was
under manipulation for a rise to as
sist in a speculation in copper securi-
ties. When the concentrated selling
was detected the bears Joined freely
and attacked the stock fiercely. Rock
Island was under severe pressure all
day and the professional bears were
confident in the supposition that large
accounts in the stock were in a vul-
nerable position. The heavy selling
of Union Pacific and its lack of sup
port caused a bad impression. The
same was true of the abandonment
of st. Paul and Pennsylvania to the
vicissitudes of the market. The very
strong tone of foreign exchange gave
intimation that further exports of gold
are likely.
