coTToN.

NEW YORK, May IS, 1eo4.--I take this means of replying to the many in- quiries I am receiving in regard to the cotton market. .aM
 For some days have been expecting in view of the small visible supply; that some demand from spinners would develop on the basis of 1850 for July contracts in New York; if does not make its appearance, however, and the short time movement has apparently progressed so far that manufacturers are disinc lined to resume operations until the new crop shall become avail able on basis in harmony with the pres ent prices for goods. Meantime, the reports that reach me indicate a con dition of extreme demoralization in the dry goods market. consequent upon the heavy stocks, and utter lack of de- mand. This within the past few days has been still further accentuated by apprehension over the auction sale of Sweetser. Pembroke and Company's en- tire stock of goods. valued at about $1,500, 900, which is to be held next Monday. Should this, as 1t is feared, establish new low record prices, 1t would put the manufacturing business upon a still more unprohtable basis than at present, and further restrict the very light demand for cotton. While do not advise short selling in view of the possibilities of manipula- tion only the hope of this manipulation, tustifies the expectation of higher prices.

The market was quite demoralized at times and the New Orleans bulls failed to give looked for support The distressing feature Is the uncertain and un- easy feeling of spot holders in the South If they should lose heart and begin to turn loose, there would undoubtedly be a fur ther serious break in the near months Good general rains have been reported in the Gulf and Atlantic States. where much need ed and to-day's forecast indicates warmer weather with rising temperatures and brightens the hopes of the planter for a bumper crop. which means lower prices for new months.

VIRGIN q FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER. lQYer .PrixatA. I.saaaa. yZLra

NEW YORK. May ,1s.-The market for cotton futures here opened steady in tone with prices points lower to points high err The new crop months displayed relative strength in consequence of the less favor able interpretation which was given to the weather conditions. The private advices from the belt In this connection were quite interesting in that 1t was figured that the temperatures were too low while excessive moisture in some sections was as damaging as the drought conditions in others The cables were about as expected. and they had little effect on the list, On the lower prices there was some little support, but the improvements were contested in that there was continued selling by spot inter- ests. while the professional bears contin- ued persistent in their efforts to bring about lower nriees. There was some buy ing on the dips by houses having English and German connections, and some of the wire houses had scattered buying orders The demand from these various sources however, were soon filled and the market developed a rather weak tendency, the price levels being reduced with comparative ease apparently. The trade as whole was moderately active. and the local interests figured for the bulk of the operations. The fluctuations in the latter part of the day were rather narrow. suggesting nervousness and uncertainty on the part of the leading trading interests. The new crop months however, were supported on the lower lev els. On the close there was r5eher a mixed feeling with the professionals generally in control. The estimated port receipts for the day were 5000. against 9,0s4 for the sams day last year.

 CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. CHICAGO, May ts-The famished ap- to make q net advance of i%c a busheL While tho gain was regarded as signifi- cant trading in the May delivery was ex- tremely small The July option closed about where It did the day before. Corn Is up hc and provisions show little change.
 Early Influences in the wheat situation were conflicting and a popular belief that values would weaken after two days of pro- nounced strength was strengthened by a failure of Liverpool cables to show re- Election of yesterdays advance. The open Ing bids nevertheless showed unexpected de- mand from the milling centres as we'll as renewed buying tendency by foreign in- terests and initial sales Of July were at s7% @ s7&. shado lower to a shade high CT. with September kc lower at S1%. Small receipts here and at Duluth and small con tract stocks appeared to be kept we'll in mind by spectators and the demand from the Northwest, taken to indicate an awak- enng to the heavy inroads upon the milling supplies, report. soon denied. that the acreage of spring wheat was small by com parison. caused a temporary bulge, which carried July to Ss and September to s1 A @ slA. The refutaton of the report caused the prices of those options to yield to s7L @S7& and SIX. the lowest point for the day. The close showed some of the loss regained upon renewal of general buying on the break. and final figures were July
  tember unchanged at S1k. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 134,574 bush els. against. 463,713 for period of three days year ago. Primary receipts were 1s3.so0. compared with 220,4 last year Minneapolis and Duluth reported IS cars re- ceived, which. with four cars locally one grading contract. made s2 cars for the three points, against S1 last week and l22 year ago.
 Corn was indebted for its firmness main ly to the strength of wheat. Offerings like the demand. were indifferent and the tone was heavy July was unchanged to a shade higher and September at yesterdays closing Figures. After dip of k@Mc and hesi- tatien around bottom prices strength in out side markets and the tone of wheat start ed some buying by pit traders of corn, who had sold short and better tone developed The close was hc better for July at 4s. after the market had sold up to 4s14SM at Its best. September closed %c higher at 47&. bc under the high price of the day Local receipts were 3s cars
 Oats held up largely because other grains did, but the trade was limited and the aver age small. The close showed July un- changed at 3sh, after having sold up to 3sS: September closed Ac higher at 3o%
 Provisions were firm after small early declines on the free hog movement reported from Western points. There was fair buy ing by brokers, whose purchases were cred ited to the packers. Final trades in July pork were at II. .s5@11.37h, shade over yesterdays close. July lard closed a shade higher at 6 .47h Qs.5o. July ribs were ehc higher at $50.

e. E. PIERCE & CO.'S corroN LETTER.

tBy PriVate Wire from GIbert e Clay.)
 NEW ORLEANS May 1s.--Cotton suf- fered further depreciation in values to- day. the chief cause of which was an utter absence of a reasonable inquiry for spots. In Liverpool where traders are working on a dangerously small stock actual cotton was quoted down about $2 % per bale, which was hard to reconcile with various reports of good business in Manchester and sig nified that at present spinners were not in clned to be interested to any extent even at concessions.
 Liquidation was preeipitated here by the circulation of May notices which found no ready acceptances and as the pressure to sell increased under this influence. prices rather slight.
 It Is evident that unless spinners can bc forced to buy more freely of spots, either through the medium of better trade condi- tions or a serious accident to the new crop. prices will be disposed to seek lower level.
