Baxter 6 Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, May 5.-Cotton opened a shade higher on small business and a disposition to await further news of ef- feet of rain and frost following the mois- ture in Texas. The general feeling was that while rain had been beneficial, low temperature had been injurious, and on this a hesitating market resulted. It is known, however, as an indisputable fact that the market Is quite late, and this gives the bulls a decided advantage, and their position may be greatly strength ened as the season advances. Views on the old crop are not of much conse- quence now, and again 1t seems to be taken for granted that the yield will not prove, If anything, mucih over 100000 bales. 1t is also expected that the bureau report in June, the first of the season, will show a much poorer condition than last year. New Orleans moved up sharply during the forenoon, and New York followed with an advance of 5 to 10 points July showing greatest strength, and shorts being scared by fears of poor bureau report for the southwest, al- though showers were forecasted for that entire region. Cables were to f points up. The weekly bureau report was bull ish, especially for Texas, but the effect on the market was not Immediately ap- parent Port receipts today 14.000; last year 10000

Later It was ac- tolerated by the sensational advance in July at New Orleans. which gained a matter of r points in the first half hour or so. and the weekly report of the weather bureau published at midday proved quite as bullish as expected, bringing fresh buying orders. Against their influences the larger receipts for the day, the heavy estimates for leading points tomorrow, and the more favorable weather indicated for the near future proved of little avail. There were brief periods of hesitation and slight reces- sions under realizing, but the market generally pursued an upward course ur1- til May reached 10. 68 or points over the best previous price of the season.

4 GOOD Business Year.

New York, Special.-Bradstreets s
review of the business year issued
Saturday has the following to say:
ITO say that 1902 was the best year
this country has ever experienced,
while truthful enough in the main,
does not suggest fully the enormous
strides which the United States took
in the year just closed. Practically eV-
ery branch Of ordinary trade and
manufacture showed an increase
above the best of previous years, and
vet this immense enlargement Of out
nut was not sufficient of itself 10
satisfy the growing, it might be term
ed Unsuitable, demand for all kinds OF
materials. In many cases the usual
foreign outlet for products was, per-
force, neglected by the American pro-
ddcers, who confined their efforts to
supplying insistent domestic demands.
while in others foreign production was
called upon to reinforce domestic out
pu. with the result that new current
and channels were created in our for
eign trade. Export trade. therefore,
shrunk.. while our imports expanded
to unprecedented figures.
