STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, May 16.-The illness OF K.
H. Hartman made its influence felt IN
today's stock market and this was supple
nented by the showing made by the
banks, which was interpreted as poor by
the trading element The weakness OF
Southern Pacific was directly traceable
to the condition of the health of the presi-
dent OF the companies. The stock de-
clined an extreme 1 IA, touching a new
low level for the year. This weakness
had some sympathetic effect elsewhere in
the market ST. Paul and New York Cen
year. A light demand from the bears to
cover shorts made an impression just at
the close, which was in consequence
steady The nominal increase in the cash
items of the banks was as much as was
expected. The fact that todays gold ex-
pert of 81 $50 600 to South America, was
withdrawn only yesterday and so fig
ured Tor only one day in the weekly aver
ages upon which the bank statement are
computed, left the probability that some
effect OF the transactions would be thrown
over into next weeks showing. The in.
crease IN loans was generally regarded as
rejecting the further transfer of cbliga
tlonS from foreign TO domestic lendefS.
During the money stringency of last fall
the recall of over-extended foreign credits
was an important factor in upsetfing tie
money market The tendency to cut
down this foreign credit now is viewed
with satisfaction in financial circles. But
the professional sentiment on the Stock
Exchange confined itself to the bare show
ing of the statement with its conse-
quent inroad upon the surplus reserve.
Today's London discount market showed
hardening tendency resulting FROM the
paying off of the markets heavy obliga-
ton to the Bank of England and The
bank lost over million dollars in gold
withdrawn for export to South America.
This increases the likelihood of further
gold exports from New York next week.
There has been an irregular movement
of bonds and only moderate volume of
business, but the increased variety in the
dealings has indicated a search for invest,
ments.

New York, May 16.-The Chronicle 5
weather report, issued today, was unfa-
ycrabe as to Alabama ana Georgia hut
favorable as to other sections of the cot
ton belt. The New England crowd sold
July and August moderately and the bear
element were very active in their ef-
forts to precipitate general selling move
ment. The market broke p points for
August very quickly but recovered points
o. the loss in the last few minutes 1t is
very noticeable that on every slight de-
cline in the winter options there is an
enormous demand. This is supposed to be
from shorts who have been selling the
new crop for several weeks. The crop
is backward. There will undoubtedly be
a great demand in September and Octo-
Der Tor the new cotton and with reserve
stocks reduced to limit it is believed
that the speculative public are OVERRIDING
the thing by selling October and Decenl-
Der cotton under cents. The New Or
leans bull party continue very aggressive,
but we notice the New Orleans market
shoWed greater weakness than ours today
fol- the first time in some weeks. Mr.
Sully has engaged passage for Europe to
sail on June 2rd, so it is evident that the
New England crowd are rapidly winding
W their pool and the New Orleans con-
tingent will have the load to carry from
now on. They have probably been too
eager in their operations because they
have put their market to a point where
cotton is being attracted to New Orleans
when if the aggressive movement had been
deferred they would have had very much
less actual cotton to contend with We
learn that several North Carolina mills
have in the aggregate great many thou
sand bales of cotton which they can spare
to ship either to New York or New Or
leans for delivery in case Of any extrerc
price in either market.

five down on the day.. The Chronicles
weather report is very favorable, and as
sures a good one from the government on
Tuesday all of which is calculated to
cause further softening OF new crop posi-
tions. AS far as the summer months are
concerned, they continue very dangerous.
The smallness of receipts in the face OF
such prices. works strongly in favor of
the New Orleans bulls. On the other
hand the mills both North and South
have set their faces hard against further
advance. and there is no doubt that short
time will be resorted to, if tie present
range of values continues. Already there
has been partial curtailment in many
quarters.
A normal annual consumption of Ameri-
can cotton is, say II 900 bales AS only
two thirds of the year has passed, the
remaining third should represent a con-
sumption of 3,75OOOO bales. A reduction
Of only 10 per cent for the balance Of
the season, therefore would throw out
375,COO bales, enough to bring back prices
to a normal level, no matter how snail
the crop may be- The only point in ques-
ton is as to when normal conditions are
to be restored, whether in the near future
or only after complete liquidation Of May
and July contracts at corner prices.

New York, May 16.-The May option
was practically off the list today. July
and August each broke about fifteen to
twenty points on further Liquidation, the
main interest in this market being ap-
parently we'll satisfied with the way events
are shaping themselves On the whole
it would seem as though it were unwise to
give any attention whatever to the course
of prices in July and August cotton We
do not care to trade in them to any ex-
tent. Selling for profits on basis of nine
cents for October earlier in the week has
proved advantageous. Now in the event
of decline of ten or fifteen points furth-
er, we would begin all over again on every
recession. One of the safest, most con
serative operators in this market, man

being sold. Quotations unchanged
Futures quiet and weak. 1t IS claimed
that the market has been deliberately
sold down by those in control for the pur-
pose of shaking out timid longs and that
the bull clique will buy back again as
soon as the low level they desire is
reached. The present situation IN cot.
ton is a puzzle to every trader no mat
ter how long he has been IN the bust
ness. except those who are on the inside.
At the opening June was down ten points.
July 1, August nine and the new crop
months 4 to points lower. Later there
was a recovery of a few points. the
board at the close showed net losses of 5
points on May and June. on July, II on
August, on September and 8 to on
the other months.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW 1OINh OOl 1ON.
New York, May 16.-Much less excite
ment and activity was displayed by the
cotton market this morning and the open
ing wast by far the tamest of the week.
First prices were at an advance of 3
points to a decline of points, the gain
being due to covering while the trade
seemed disposed to sell the late positions
In expectation of a further reaction and
on the generally favorable tone of week
end crop accounts. Port receipts were
estimated to exceed last year and there
were many reports of curtailed consump-
ton. The closing Liverpool cables whiie
perhaps not so low as expected on fu-
lures reported subsiding demand for
spots and a decline of points in spot
prices. These factors naturally encour-
aged the early selling but after showing
a little further weakness values vert
rallied a few points by New Orleans buy
ing orders.
The rally noted after the opening was
of short duration and IL o'clock found
the market to 10 points lower with
August leading the weakness under local
bear pressure in the face of continued sup
port from New Orleans.
In the last hour however, buying orders
nredominated and business became more
active. the general tone more unsettled,
and the market at the close was net four
points higher in May. while other opt on
were g. to 10 points lower. May closed
1115. July 1911 and August 1O.45, the
latter being a loss of ten points from
last nights final. Sales were estIma-
ted at 10000 bales.
