Think That Present Market Is Very
Hard to Guess.


New York, May 25-The market
eased off to-day on the absence of
buying. Yesterday shorts ran to COW
err and there was not the interest left
in the market to keep price going on
up. Then, too, some rain was report
ed in the Southwest and rains were
predicted for Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. But it is extremely doubtful
whether the area now that's serious
ly in need of rain will get any.
The market at this season is the
hardest thing in the world to get up
much. 1t takes an actual scare of
some proportion to get the short in
terests started. We have seen a bad
drought in several states, and the
market never moves up more than 20
points, but while it may be discour-
aging to buy, there is nothing to sell
cotton on at the moment. Shorts/yill
be treated as they were yesterday.
The market is a low figure, compar-
atively speaking, and when the start
is found to be rather poor, we may
have sharp rise in new crop.

THE late Henry Grady once said that
Cotton was a fool and from the
present antics I am prepared TO acquI-
esce in his opinion said a well known
trader yesterday, as he gazed at the
boards on the local Cotton Exchange
and saw the staple fuctuate first up
and then down.
1t reminds me-" he continued. of a
chip on the wave. inasmuch as it does
not seem to know which way to turn"
Another broker said: But they say
Haynes is on the floor in New York
and rumor has it that he is going to
supplant Sully" AN empty honor, at
best, quoth the old-timer; "Sully went
broke, and Haynes will follow his ex-
ample tell you, neighbor, cotton
is 100 high"
The traders in New York and New
Orleans seemed inclined to the veteran
traders belief for Notwithstanding the
optimistic cables. King Cotton in both
rings was a coward.
The New York futures market opened
at an advance, but a tide Of liquidation
set in, and at the close both spots
and futures sagged off
The latter market was posted at from

While a few bales of actual cotton
was sold on the local spot, it had but
little effect upon the general market,

Chicago, ILL.,, May 25.-Wheat was a
small, dull nervous market, with a
heavy tone the latter part of the ses-
sion. The May fuctuated over a range
of 3h cents on a trade aggregating
less than 100000 bushels. The early
firmness was attributed to the decline
in consols. The weather to-day was
perfect, general rains are forecasted
for the Ohio valley and the Middle
West and Northwest. Cash demand,
which has been the strong feature,
was slow to-day, Receipts are in
creasing somewhat, but are still light.
Corn-Covering by local shorts held
the corn market steady to-day This
buying was based on predictions of
rain through the sections where a
free movement is reported. The local
pit crowd also rather favored the long
side. Receipts were 200 cars, with 302
estimated for tomorrow.
Provisions-Closed steady at small
advance for the day. There was buy
ing by packers, which was assumed
to be for the object of stimulating the
cash trade.

New York, May 95.-A typical wealth
er market ruled to-day. First infiu-
enced by prediction of rains in the At
lantic district within the next forty
eight hours, prices declined over 20
points on the new crop; then along
came a batch of alarming weevil re-
ports from Texas, and the buying by
shorts recovered the whole loss, but a
relapse in the last hour carried prices
back again to practically the lowest of
the day. where they closed. with a loss
of 20 points on near months, and 16 on
new crop position.
From 12.9jc July dropped back to
12S0c. where il closed practically at
the bottom of the day. Showery wealth
err is coming into the belt from the
westward, and il is predicted that
within forty-eight hours the dry sec
tions of Alabama, Georgia and the
Carolinas will get the much needed
moisture.
That, however, is only prophecy
which remains to be realized, and IL
not promptly realized another upward

One ON am Actor

WILL T. HODGE the actor tells a story
w which is much like a joke on himself.
He was in Chicago some two years ago
studying for a forthcoming production.
Along toward the early hours of the morning
he called Il boy and ordered 4 bottle OF
milk, according to his own assertion.
When the boy returned he bore the bottle
in his hand, and turning to the actor said
You must excuse me for not bringing this
on a tray: but all our trays are IN use to-
night
is that so," replied Hodge. And how
does that happen;
Well" said the boy, Mrs. Pat Campbell
is giving i dinner downstairs, and they have
all the travs down there"
so Mrs. Campbell is giving a dinner
unused Hodge
YES" said the boy, and all the actors
in town are down there"
All" said Hodge.
"Oh, yes" answered the boy, all but the
cheap skates.
