Caldwell 6 Wards Cotton Letter.

By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, May 6.-As Liverpool was better than looked for, our market opened 6 to points higher and improved to 8 points additional on shorts covering owing to bullish European cables and claims that rains were doing damage in Texas. The absence of supporting orders and the restricted demand for spots sub sequently caused a break of 20 to 24 points from the top on near options and 10 to B points on the late making the net loss ! points on old crop months and points on the new.
 The movement on it's face points to a crop of 1O162,O0O. but the interior towns stocks are 45,000 In excess of last year and the port stocks show an increase of 56,OOo over last year. The short crop esu- mates seem to be verified by the amount marketed to date yet the visible sup ply in America Is 101, GOO in excess of last year. In other words it matters not how small the out-turn may be if splnners continue to curtail their takings on the same ratio as they have been doing for the past four weeks because a yield of only 100000 under these conditions will be sufficient to meet all requirements The visible supply variations and spin ners takings from week to week are the most important legitimate factors to watch closely as they will demonstrate what the spinners of the world are do- ing. Consequently the action of Liver pool and spinners will continue to in- | fluence the old crop months and the new will be ruled by weather conditions.

REPORTS MIXED

New York, May 6.-The eotton market opened firm at an advance of 601o points on active covering, and what seemed to be New Orleans support encouraged by continued good demand for spot cotton in the Liverpool market, where spot cot ton was II English points higher, and where futures were also much better than expected. In addition to this showing as an incentive for buying the weather was rather mixed
 There was said to be too much rain In portions of Texas, threatening an over flow of the Brazos valley, which would prove beneficial or injurious according to growth of the plant and roofing while along the Atlantic coast 1t was said rain was needed. But the advances attracted considerable realizing, and the market after the call held no better than steady for a time with July advancing Is points, and the general range to Is points.
 Following this decline set in. There was evidently good sized selling order in the hands of room trader, believed to he operating fof a certain large Wall street operator, and who sold July on a SCdlc up iiC callA lldulnBs A rumor was also circulating that New Orleans was trying to sell here and while the days additions to statistics were generally of bullish nature the market during the balance of the session worked quite steadily downward with closing prices easy at a net decline of 36l6 points on the old crop and an advance of 6q12 points cn the new options
 Sales were estimated at 200 GOO bales.

caIdwep 6 ward,s Grain Letter,

By Bartlett, Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, May 6.--The Snow Ohio State and Modern Miller reports were the di- rect cause of todays advance. The news was almost sensational in character and had 1t come upon market with the average level of values 10 to 12 cents a bushel lower, a big bull market would have resulted. As 1t was the advance was sharp and the tone strong with some recession towards the close on prof it-taking. There was evidence of more interest on the part of the general pub lie.
 Corn-Very little interest was exhib- tied in corn after the opening activity subsided. The early tendency was to fol- low wheat, the shorts who have been the principal buyers during the week had evidently pretty well covered Prices commenced to drag and towards the close local professionals were pounding the market. The cash trade was slow and sample market wheat, particularly for the lower grades which were off from 1 to cents a bushel Crop advices are all favorable and with present and pit situation there Is no inducement to buy corn. The Liverpool market was A to B cents higher effected partly by strength here yesterday and partly by the scar city by contract there
 Provisons-The provision market was weak, notwithstanding the strnegth else where on the floor and the influence of the stronger hog market. Packers sold moderately and the local professionals had something to offer on the bulge Cash demand continued poor and the prospects for good run of hogs.

By Ware & Leland
 New York, May 6.-The market today can be summed up in three words-'there was none"
 Changes were fractional and transac- tions nominal. There is great difference of opinion as to how the present activity will end whether by break or a rally
 On the one side we have the uncertain- ties of the crops and politics and the unsettled Northern Securities litigation, together with the lack of public interest decreasing railroad earnings and general business depression and curtailment
 On the other a plethora of money at low rates and indications that stocks are strongly held, and short interest of considerable proportions
 Technical conditions warrant a rally of several points, Should such a rally take place and prices be marked up, we would take advantage of same by selling.

Sales, 2050 bales, including HOO to arrive and 300 fob. Quotations 116c higher.
 Futures opened steady and from to IA points up. Liverpool was much better than expected. and gave strength to the local market on the first call Some nervousness was apparent among July shorts, and they covered freely at the call and im- mediately after. with the result that prices were sent up II points above yes- terdays close. New York July shorts also covered heavily in this market early, which showed more activity than has been seen here for a long time The leading bulls were heavy bidders for May, offering -3.9o and 14c for lots of 5000 bales. They bought heavily but after they left the ring the offerings became freer than ever' and prices receded gradually under wig orous bear hammering until the close. when she list showed net losses of to points cn the old crop months and to 5 cn the new.

cothran & Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans, May 6.-There was a diff ference of opinion concerning conditions In Manchester. Early cables stated that large business was doing and splnners were expected to buy freely at once. La ter cables conveyed the information that spinners in Manchester refused to re- spond to the advance. The action of Liverpool signified nothing out of the or dinary excepting a willingness to follow the lead of American markets. It is evi- dent that foreigners are watching events on this side closely and the retarded pro- gress of the new crop is not being over looked.
 The establishment of higher prices here presented the temptation Tor recent pur- chasers to take profits and a large opers ator In New York supposed to be repre- senting some Wall street interests was said to be a heavy seller Tn the metrop- oils to liqudate long cotton. This pres- sure occasoned a decided setback. but a fair demand was in evidence for the new crop months IS a result of addition al damaging rains in Texas and a portion of Mississippi There was some fear of the visible supply statement failing to show a sufficiency of spinners' takings and the absence of a serious inquiry for spots deterred friends of the staple from engaging activity. but developments in this connection are eagerly scanned and any favorable turn will be promptly act td upon.
