 New Orleans. May 2.-Liverpool advices were disappointing consequently our market opened to lower but subsequently, improved to on fresh buying.

 New York, May 2-The trade in cotton futurse today was of moderate proportions, Profession al interest did the bulk of the business, though there evidence of continued outside in- terest, and commission houses had fair orders on both sides of the account. There was but little in the news of startling character. The conditions were about as expected, and the weekly weather summary of the chronicle we'd to bear out previous reports of moderate temperament from some sections The Liver pool advices reflected a mere response to our market. and there was further talk that the Liverpool crowd was working in line with the bull element on this side. There was some fresh liquidation of May holdings at the bet ter prices. outside interest being inclined to sell to average and avoid handling the cotton. The movement today was of fair proportions Spot markets were steady. though the relative firmness in some sections was attributable more to lack of offerings than any increase in the demand The strike situation was not materi- ally changed. and spinners continued to show utter indifference toward the market. The bull element credited with doing very little either way to-day New Orleans was buyer on the lower levels for the new crop positions. and this was taken a confirmation that some interests a little serious to the damage which may have been done to early planted cotton thus far, this season.

 New York May 2.-Cables were 1 to 2 points lower today and weather conditions were better. The Chronicle weekly sum mary was a good one, while It's report from the State generally gave specific in- stances of rainfall during the week at points not before heard from, which 1t appears that good rains had fallen, and in some cases quite heavy. The Liverpool weekly report showed stocks of all kinds at 726O0O against 746,00O last week and 1.062 900 last year. and American stocks at 641 ,000 against 656.0O0 last week. and 933, 900 last year The Chronicle reports made some impression on the market which opened at decline of 2a5 points Higher temperature in the South was re- ported. but this was offset by absence of rain of consequence at the same time. Prices reports from Texas were intensely bullish, based on alleged killing of the plant by the freeze In the Southwest, and 1t will evidently require few days to understand just where we are at. Prob ably the weekly Bureau report on Tues day will clear away the uncertainty Manchester reports were more satisfac- tory. Port receipts were estimated at 1000 against 5000 last year. Business all day was on a very small scale. The movement the coming week was estimated at 5000 bales against 6700O last year. New Orleans, May 2.-This was the

TENNIS BOAT SINKS.
Midd1es Win a Hollow Victory over
 the Ouakers

Annapolis, Md, May "A heavy sea captized the University of Pennsylva- nits eight-oared shell in the race today on the Severn with the navy's crew. and gave to the latter an easy victory. The water was fairly smooth early in the afternoon. but hardly had the crews taken to the boats before a stiff breeze started and heavy sea was soon rolling over the course.
 After one false start. in which Battles broke an oar, the boats got off well from a flying start. The Middies being more accustomed to rough water. took things as easy as possibly. merely hanging on and not trying to squirt. Pennsylvania, however, hit things up to a thirty-five- stroke, and their boat soon commenced to fill. At the Santee wharf the bow went under and in few seconds their boat was swamped and the men were taken off in a launch. The freshmen crew race was called off.
 The navy oarsmen were little pleased over their hollow victory. and immedi- ately requested the Quakers to make an other date so the real merits of the two crews could be tested. The Pennsylvan- ians declared that with the permission Of the faculty they would come here on Nav 16 for anofhar race.

ohicaro Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, May 2.-lTrading was moderate in both grain and provision pits today. but prices had an upward tendency. July wheat closing i-4c.. higher, July corn i-sc. higher, oats up 3-8@1-2c,, and provisions from a shade to 1-2c. higher.
 Wheat ruled rather quiet, but bullish news, both local and foreign, caused strong tone to pervade the pit throughout ports of damage by froSts started shorts to cover at the opening and prices were slightly higher at the start. July being a shade to 1-Sa1-4c. up at 73 to 1-sc. There was a small recession on profit taking but the loss was soon regained and after selling at 72 7-s July hrmed up to 73 1-4, the strength of outside markets and the bullish crop advices from Europe being influential factors in the situation. With good commission house demand the market continued steady. the remainder of the day. July closing lie. higher at 73 l-S673 1-4.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were 554.00o bushels. Primary receipts were 263. 800 bushels, against 333 400 year ago. Minr eapolis and Duluth reported receipts 15i cars which with local receipts 27, one contract, made the total receipts for the three points 1S1 cars against 2S0 cars last week and 2s1 year ago.
 Corn opened firm on strong cables and smaller receipts than estimated and the early strength was well maintained throughout the day. Cold weather, a good shipping demand for No. and an indicated heavy decrease in local stocks for the week were the features that ap- pealed to traders.
 Trading was quiet and the volume of business light. After selling between 45 f-sD45 1-4, July closed with gain of 1-sc at 45 1-4@45 3-Sc. Local receipts, 14O cars. 5 contract.
 Oats exhibited a decided bullish tend ency, with leading operators taking an active part of that side of the market. Predictions of frost for the West over Sunday and unfavorable crop advances were strengthening influences. Commis- sion houses took considerable May and there was a good scattered demand for other months. The close was firm with July 3-S6I1-2c. higher at 32 1-4. after rang ing between S1 3-4da 7-sc. and 32 3-Sc Local receipts, 1l2 cars.

 New York; May 2.-Some say the stock of
 cotton here fin New York may reach 125 900
 bales by June 1st and some that 1t will reach 900. Great deal of cotton will un- doubtedly be added to the local stock re-
 suit of the premium on May and the quest
 ion to be determined is whether the May people
 own 20o. 900 or only 100. coo . The May delivered
 this week is out of af the way Say clear 100. 900 bales comes to New York to be delivered oncon-
 tract between now and June 1st. If the bulls
 have l5o.oO0 200 900 bales long this gives them 5000 or 1000 bales to squeeze the market on. lot of trouble may result from this con- dition. We would operate very cautiously un- til the May problems Is solved. As for as October Is concerned we still regard that month as the most attractive on the list. In any decline to a basis of sh this option should be safe purchase. It recovers very easily showing an extensive short interest. Under the rather unfavorable start the crop has had and the dirth of supplies discount of two cents under the selling prices of spots cotton is too much for short selling. Sound business views Are against short selling except a scalping operation.

 New Orleans, La, May z.-The week closed with the cotton market generally quiet, and prices steady in proximity to the high level of the season reached thus far All of the sur rounding features have been so throushly ven- tilated that the speculative element are now in- clined to await fresh developments in conect- ion with the situation. To all appearances. leading bulls have lost none of their conf dence in the merits of the staple, Egyptian op- orators have been accredited with the accom- plishment of considerable liquidation in the En- giish market, but local bulls have given evid- ences of their faith by effecting purchases in an active way whenever the tone of prices in clined toward easiness.
 Probably the most important features under immediate observation are the freedom of re- ceipts and the prospect of peter business in Manchester with India and China as a result of the improvement in bar silver. So far as the subsequent course of the movement is con- cerned, that is question that time alone can answer definitely. but as regards the other fea- ture. If foreign spinners should, through im- provement of trade conditions. find it practi- cable to buy in an active manner. and in ad- dition to this. should the return of spring like weather in northern sections re- vive activity amongst domestic spinners. the effect would undoubtedly be to stimulate the prices of raw cotton materially. It will do accordingly to watch developments carefully in respect to these features.
