NEW ORLEANS. May 5.-Liverpool was not encouraging, but our market. nevertheless, opened 2@7 points higher on old crop months and iG2 new and subsequently, improved 9Q2o on near and 4d6 on late. owing to the absence of seller and the fears of un- favorable weekly weather report. The report. when issued. proved to be pessimistic. still as large lines had been bought in anticipation it was discounted to a large extent and real izing set in a slight recession was established. making the net gain " points May and July, 5 points on August and G3 points on the old crop months The summary of the weekly Weather Bureau report was as fol- lows. Early planted cotton low lands m Northern Texas and in the Central Gulf States. the freeze of April 3oth and May lst. and throughout the cotton belt low temperatures have proved seriously detrimental to germina- Northern Texas and intheCcntralGulf States. eastern districts. Planting has been vgor- ousIy rushed and is nearing completion" The movement continues large and spinners are apathetic. Manipulation. however, in the old crop months is active and values in these positions seem to be entirely under the control of the parties engineering this deal Such be- ing the case, we again strongly suggest that our friends have no interest on either side in the Summer months. The crop months for fhis reason are more active. and therefore op- erafions should be entirely confined to them. as they win be ruled by legitimate factors

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
NEW HIGH RECORD FOR SEASON
 REACHED BY MAY.
Weekly Report of Crop Conditions Published at Noon Was Quite as Bullish as Had Been Antici-
 pated-Close Steady.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 4 points to q decline of ! point and following the call ruled very strong and at times excited under covering of shorts and renewed buying by the bull pool which carried May up to new nigh record for the season. The advancing tendency was encouraged in the if st instance by the firmness at Liverpool and further ac- counts of crop damage. Later 1t was accel- erated by the sensational advance in July at New Orleans which gained matter of I7 points in the first half hour or so and the weekly report of the Weather Bureau, pub lished at midday. proved quite bullish as expected, bringing fresh buying orders Aginst their influences the larger receipts for the day, the heavy estimates for leading points tomor- row and the more favorable weather indicated Tor the near future proved of little avail. There were brief periods of hesitation and slight recessions under realizing, but the market generally pursued an upward course until May reached lo.68 or 5 points over the best previous price of the season. July was then at ioo4 with the general list showing q gain as compared with yesterdays finals o 6@io points. From this there was a slight reaction under profit taking. but the market finally was steady, net ] point lower. los points higher with May closing at Io.67. ol within 1 point of the best. Total sales flu lures estimated at i5o,o 900 bales.

 NEW ORLEANS May 5.-The principal fea- ture before the cotton trade today was the weekly crop report. which exercised stimu- lating influence prices. but some time before its publication. the market received inn petus toward direction from vigorous bidding by leading bulls which attracted no opposition of significance. On the contrary. timd shorts proceeded to cover the instant. without manifesting any desire to know the cause of the extended rise Such condition had evil dently been apprehended and the mere fact that the advance was being forced determin- edly by the bull leaders in utter disregard of the opposition at hand, sufficed to set con ciusions concerning the immediate policy tc pursue. According to the weekly crop report much replantfng is necessary owing to fail ure of seed to germinate. In fact, it is said that unreasonable weather has been in many instances seriously sentimental to cotton farming interests. Such a condition Is by no means cheerful for those who have elected to sell cotton in a speculative way. The i'm mense power that bulls iwield over Summer de- 1veries is being demonstrated with greater effect each day and the danger of committing oneself to such options without the intention of handling spots is being illustrated with pronounced distinctness. With the apparent backwardness of the new crop. there is nc assurance that interest in Fall delive~' vii be wanting, and the two sides in this matter are likely to be contested in very active way as developments suggest.

WALL STREET REVIEW
FAIR DEGREE or ACTIVITY UP
 TILL NOON.
During the Latter Part of the Day the Trading Fell Into Semi Stagnation Again-Some
 Manipulation Evident.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The days develop ments bearing on values of securities were rather favorable than otherwise. but this did not enable the professional traders in stocks who were the buyers of yesterday to partly realize their profits without turning prices downwards once more. There was fair de- that time some 500 @ ooo % shares Of s stock e were dealt In. which Is rather more than the total days dealings in the dull business of last Friday. During the later part of the day the trading fell into semi-stagnation again. Some part of the early activity was undoubtedly due to maniPulation to facilitate the takong of profits. Delaware and Hudson continued yes- terday's advance to the extent of Y and St. Paul. Northwestern. Canadian Pacific and
 as nn tsa ons s ing in National Railroad of Mexico, and in Reading, the last named rising at one time 4 over last night: Pennsyivanis was lifted as much. This stock sold ex-dividend of per cent. and there was an element amongst traders who bought 1t and Atchison yesterday annual dividends from the price would make them look cheap and attract buying. The re- cent rise in sterling exchange came to halt tocay, although the late market was firm and discounts in London were also easier At the same time there was sharp advance in ster- ling exchange at Paris which was sufficient to wipe out the profit on the so-caiied triangu- lar gold export operation. It is not expected. therefore. that gold will go out to Europe this week. although small shipment to South America Is indicated. The stregth of the ster- ling at Paris Is believed to be due to remit tances to participate in the Transvaal loan. These two favorable factors did not suffice to hold the stock market. A number of fa- voTable reports of railroad gross earnings for the month and the fourth week of April were equally without effect. New York Central, Missouri Pacific. Louisville and Nashville. Southern Railway, Chicago Great Western. Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio all made handsome increases in gross earnings and the net earnings of the Norfolk and Western for March showed an increase over those of last year of some 2e per cent.

 NEW ORLEANS, May s.H would appear bull leaders ito assert their position. They have so far held their position most success fully in the face of the combined efforts of Liverpol and New York to oppose the advance that was inevitable and 1t Is only a question of short while ionger when these important markets must fall in line. While Liverpool responded this morning to the advance record ed on this side, still it appears ss if even the improvement of 3G4 points on contracts scored was made under protest. believing our soar ing prices to be sensational. Nevertheless. we at home are better acquainted with surround ings. revealing the strong statistical situa- tion and being much nearer. in fact. in touch with the cotton fields. of the South are better prepared to judge of the real situation and not so readily msled by mis-epresenta- tions from this source, which our English cou- sins are only too ready to give credence to. merely because 1t suits their purpose to do so. The weekly weather report published to- day, more than unfavorabe in it's en- tirety, confirming the backwardness of the crop due to the unnatural weatha- conditions. During the early trading hours this morning July was forced up by persistent bidding and the support of the leading bull interests ot present season. When the cotton market was some 40 or 50 points lower there many who contended even at that time that pr ices too high which disputed repeatedly in our market letters calling attention to the statistical position in connection with a pres porous outlook for business in cotton manu- featuring lines We still feel that purchases made on concessions will prove profitable.

 NEW YORK, May 5.-The advance in May cotton to a new high record sustains all that has been said concerning the position of Mir. Suily and the bull clique in that option. There was not a good word in it and for a Government bureau this means great deal. Not only were poor stands generally reported. but cotton in Northern Texas and the terri tories has been killed by the recent frosts. The pit takes things very philosophicaliy as a rule and is not inclined to become alarr-ed at so early stage in the game. The needs of large crop too well knewn to need repetition at any time A favorable start goes a long way towards a good crop And from every standpoint there is no doubt about the fact that the start this year Is one of the poorest in many seasons The October dis count is too great. unjustifably, which may be proved by It's own price.
