COTTON OPENED
 BARELY STEADY Declines Were Influenced Mostly by Better Weather THERE WERE NO CABLES Closed Steady at About the Low Point of the Day, Except for October,
 Which Rallied for
 Points.
THERE WERE NO CABLES

New York. June 5.-Ths cotton market onened barely steady at a net advance of 8 points to a decline of points. The advance was on southern supporting anu covering, while the declines were ih- fiuenced by the better weather and more favorable crop adyices, notably report issued by trade paper, which maoe an increase of 621 per cent in acreage While speaking rather favorably of the crops condition. There were no cables to ln- fiuence the market in either direction, Liverpool being closed. owing to the Whit suntide holidays and immediately follow ing the call certain Philadelphia interests who were credited with selling heavy yes- terday were again said to be offering tree- ly. This brought about considerable hqui- adtion and the list declined about to , points from the opening figures. Then came another slight rally on the light es- timated receipts for leading points to- morrow and a rather less bearish into sight movement for the week than an- tfcipated the figures showing 4e,SS6 bales as compared with 42,s19 bales last year. The upward movement was limited now ever, and shortly after the noon hour prices again wavered ruled irregular Tor a time, and then reached a new low level for the day under further selling by both longs and shorts.
 The market was finally quiet and steady at about the low point of the day except for October which rallied points under covering.
 The list as a whole was net to Il points lower. Total sales, futures estimat- ed at 10000 bales
 Port receipts for the day were 2sIS bales i a eainst 343I bales last year.

WHITE FUR HAT. CHNCHILLA TooUE that smack of good brisk cold, and final ly fur, king of winters comfort. each appears in that world of headgear which is today so in harmony with all that the feminine heart most fancies in this line.
 First let us look at some examples in fur. Here is chinchilla toque in a new three cornered shape with long white plume falling on the hair at the back and butterfly bow of cerise vel vet tying the fur in front. The shape also carries out well in other fashion able furs, but one seen in chinchilla on young woman the other day certainly looked both smart and very becoming.
 Very charming is the white fur hat for afternoon and formal wear It is lined underneath with gray silk and trimmed with bouquet of violets and cerise roses and cache peigne of the same at the back.
 A foreign whim of the season is the revival of the little bonnet with er- mine strings One in ermine has an astrakhan crown with trimming of black lace, velvet and touches of gold galloon. A shepherdess hat is fash toned in mink and surmounted with a wreath of velvet flowers. A toque ip moleskin has for it's sole trimming a bird on one side fastened with an an tique silver agraffe.
 Different furs are attractively com bined in hats--for instance, sailor hat in miniver with a moleskin brim and scarf of panne. A miniver toque has a trimming of drawn tulle and flowers. J. VERNON WIALDER.
