 NEW ORLEANS. May 27.-Considerable nervousness continues to characterize the Liverpool market. Early cables showed im- provement today durine9the first trading hours or 4G7 points .................. deliveries, with ing there unquestionably disappointing with prices lowered points on the po- sitions, while the distant months un- changed from the opening. Prices in the local market were partly affected by the easier ten dency of the English market at the close there and declined here at one time some "a | 0 points i1 sympathy. Spot cotton remains firm Southern markets. Plnaters and merchants appear to be steadfast believers in a moder- ate crop and higher prices to follow. It must, however. be recognized that while the market is broad and the disposition of the public Is to invest declines. there is large out standing speculative bull interest With real izing from this quarter violent fluctuations in order. and cannot but advise eau tion in investments this side of September. For prices are sufficiently high to furnish every fnducement at this early date to raise a big crop next season. However. the wsde- spread interest which has developed in the cotton option market during the past six weeks is unabated and no doubt from now on op- parties in the market to make their views effective. For the moment however, con- tinuous buying of the crop months. par ticularly so in the European market has also had a stimulating effect the corresponding positions lhis side, while old crop options have been virtually neglected and the fact that the bulls are anticipating unfav)raple monthly bureau report has also sisted in sus- taining prices.

 NEW ORLEANS. May 27-Notwithstandng Liverpool was not encouraging, our market opened 0 points lower to points higher but shortly after declined 5Q9 points on realiz- ing due to the subsequent easincss in Liver pool. Later in the session fresh buying caused an improvement of 6al2 points from the bot tom on old crop months and loQl2 on the new, making the net gain points August and lodl2 on the crop options July however. showed a loss of ] point on the day The movement continues liberal and weather conditions are more favorable for the growing crop. Nevertheless while the old crop months are considered dangerous to have interest on either side the new are thought to be es. peclally attractive to purchasers owing tc the large discounts and the many viCissitudeI that the crop must go through before ma turity. The anticipation of very unfavorable bureau report being issued June has occasioned uneasness an1 forced shorts tc cover. Bullish sentiment seems to be genera and as operators have been successful this side for many weeks, 1t will require some de- cided setback to check the existink enthuci asm. Present prices are considered high by conservative traders. still no disposition Is shown by any one to resist the enhancement

 NEW YORK. May 27.-There was only . moderate volume of business in the cotton pit today-moderate by comparison with other days of late The matters of influence were rather conflicting and for this reason operators were rather cautious about taking a definite stand in one direction or the other. The Liv- erpool market changes were generally fin line with expectations. though some firmness was shown in the new crop months. First prices locally were 2 points lower for the near months and unchanged to 4 points higher for the distant options As the day wore on. the market became quiet. with the price level whole under that of last night. The Au- gust delivery showed the effects of liquida- tions. There was some talk that private set clement had been made with an interest which had been short of over 20, 900 bales of May. but there little positive information in this connection. The spot markets were some what easier. There was a small demand for spots and Southern offerings were somewhat larger. There was still a great deal of talk with reference to manipulation on the part of the local bull leader and the New Orleans bull clique but definite information. as mas been the for some days past, was rather scant in supply At the close there was some strength shown especially in the later months.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
THE MAY OPTION NEGLECTED
 BY THE TRADERS.
Believed That the Short Interest Has Been Pretty Well Covered, and That No More Sensations
 Will Occur.

NEW YORK, May 27.-The cotton market opened steady at advance of points to a decline of points the near months. while the late months were unchanged to 4 points higher. The irreguiarity was largely due to the showing made by the Liverpool cables which at the time of the local open ing were about expected on the near months considered due on the local closing of ycs- terday. Other influences were r.,re or less conflicting The port receipts of the day were estimated to show heavily compared with last year, but on the other hand estimates for the weeks into sight showed decreasing ten- dency and the weather was not entirely satis- factory in some sections Trading was much more active after the call and after the first demands for the new crop had been filled the market turned easier declining to a level net 242O points lower. At this time July sold at II.l2. August at 0.6S and September 9.96 and December at 9.46. At this level there was considerable covering. notwithstanding market was slowl yrallied. All through the session May was comparatively neglected and the course of that option led to the opinion more or less generally expressed on the floor that the speculative short interest in that op- tion had been pertty thoroughly covered and that further sensational developments in that connection were therefore unlikely. The New England cliuqe leader reiterated his intention of leaving for Europe on the third but during the afternoon large buying orders for the late positions were credited to this interest and New Orleans also sent buying orders. On the evidence of this support room shorts turned for cover and the market became more active. before the close. The market closed steady at within or points of the best or net points lower to 10 points higher. Total sales futures were estimated at 26o, 900 bales.

this market the stronger becomes our, opinion that 1t is not one In which to buy cotton.

News today was generally of the same tenor as that heretofore this week, though Liverpool showed less aggressive strength and the pros- poets of rain in various sections of the cotton belt helped crop materially.

PREPARING FOR NEXT YEAR.
fhe Democracy Looking Forward to
Labor Troubles to Help
Them Along.

Undoubtedly the intimation in dis
patch from Pottsvil!e, Pa, that the
strike of the anthracite coal miners
presidential election, was inspired by
democratic suggestion or advice. A
great quarrel between capital and labor
next year would establish conditions in
which the democratic politicians would
revel, says the Cleveland Leader
That it would be accompanied by po-
litical complications nobody can doubt,
for it is intimated that the leaders Of
the miners are figuring on political as
sistance to help them win a victory
Such a strike, occurring next year
would surely put President Roosevelt
in an annoying position. He would, of
course, be asked to use his good offices
to bring about settlement of the con-
troversy, and whichever side he took he
would run the risk Of incurring the i'll
will of those on the other side On the
other hand, his democratic opponent
not being in public office, could play the
demagogue to his hearts content, with
out annoying complications.
Nothing would probably please the
democrats better next year than a
strike OF the anthracite coal miners
But the leaders of the miners, if they
have any sense of gratitude, will pre-
vent one if it lies within their power to
do so. They have every reason to be
grateful to Theodore Roosevelt. Last
year, in his efforts to restore Industrial
peace in the anthracite region, he vio-
lated all precedent by calling the repre-,
sentatives of capital and labor to the
white house for a conference, and he
put his hand into the strike situation
so firmly and with such good effect that
the long struggle was brought to a
close with honor and credit to labor. .
