COTTON.

New York MAY Gothic weekly Liver
nooI statement shows that the total stock
of cotton in store and afoat is now 49,
900. against 10000 last year. a deficiency
of bnlv 1900 as against a deficiency of
$50 900 on April TO- The sales for the
week are only 10000, against 5000 last
wear and fine amount forwarded to spin
ners only. $4,000. against $4,000 last year.
These figures speak most graphically OF
the diminished demand for spot cotton
and foreshadows a very bearish visible
supply statement tomorrow. The coming
week is Whitsuntide general holiday
closely observed not only in Lancashire,
but on the continent The European de-
mand for spot cotton in consequence en-
tirely disappears and for this reason 1t
has several times happened in the past
that whit week" has marked the col
lanse OF some promising bull campaigns.
Spot houses here report that they are
being asked for offers on a surprisingly
large amount of cotton held at the I'M
counted towns but as there is no de-
mand from any quarter they can only
bid on the basis of the contract market,
the fact that NAV contracts in New
Orleans are selling at 50 points under
July still further attests the lack of buy
ers for real cotton. Were there any de-

NEW ORLEANS WAS SELLER

New York, May 2o.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at decline of l 10

the steady cables and almost Immediate

active liquidation and continued bear
pressure. The weather over the south
was of a distinctly favorable average,
temperatures being much more season.
able, and while at first the new crop
positions showed relative steadness, they
later yielded to liquidation and declined
about equally with the bear positions.
At times during the session there were
slight rallies on covering, but demand
was almost entirely for short account or
at least appeared to be, and on every
little upturn the Wall street leader and
New Orleans would renew selling.
1t was the general impression that the
New Orleans selling represented liduida-
ton and the report that few more May
notices were circulating the southern
market causing the throwing over of
May holdings, had tendency to con
firm the view that there would be no
manipulation of the summer months from
the bull standpoint. In a general way
the market worked toward a lower level
during the end of the session, and reach
ed the lowest point of the day just before
the close, when July sold at 1878 and
October at 1895. The market was final
ly easy and within point or two of the
bottom or a net decline of % to IS points.

to some extent by a private crop report
issued during the morning estimating the
increase in acreage at III per cent, and
stating that the condition of the crop
was better than last years. This natur-
ally had tendency to cause apprehen-
sion as to the showing of the government
on June and the fact that Liverpool
will be closed tomorrow owing to the
Whtsuntide holidays disposed of any
hope as a result of a rally in that mar
ket. Trading here was quite active at
the decline, particularly just before the
close, when demand imp owed owing to
short covering and sales Tor the day were
estimated at $4,000 bales.
