Spot cotton, quiet and easier; sales,

Futures opened steady with prices
unchanged to points higher. The ag-
gressiveness of bears soon caused a loss
of the initial improvement and prices
fell away until there were losses of 10
to Is points, the heaviest declines being
on the near positions.
The weekly summary of crop conui-
tons by the Department of Agricul-
ture proved to be quite bullish. 1t told
of unfaVorably low temperatures all
over the belt, drought in some portions
and the appearance in increasing num-
bers of the boil weevil in southern AMI
central counties of Texas. If the SENT
ment of the market had not been so
overwhelmingly bearish the report
would probably have caused an adj
vance AS it was. it had no apprecia-
BILE effect on prices. The market closed
weak at about the lowest figures of the
day.
The net losses were 20 to 95 points on
the old crop months, and 8 to II on the
new.

New York. May 1.-THE fictitious
nature of yesterdays advance was
plainly shown by the absence of any
increase in the spot demand. Liver
pool was forced up this morning by
the covering of shorts in that market.
but the moment demand from this
quarter ceased a severe downward
movement set in.
Our market was kept from following
suit, partly by anticipation of a bullsh
weekly weather report, and partly by
artificial support In the July positions.
The government REPORT, when read, at
noon, was on its face an unfavorable
rresentment, but as a large portion of
the burden of complaint was drought
IN the Atlantic district, the document
failed to effect for the simple reason
that last night and this morning gen.
eral rains fell in the Carolinas, Georgia
and Alabama.
The most favorable features were
good stands in the western half of the
belt, high state of cultivation and
plants beginning to fruit in Texas. The
mention of the presence of weevils
was not taken seriously. After the re-
port was read at noon, a general SELL

Atlanta, May 17.-Section Director J.
B. Marbury of the United States
weather service, in his climate and
crop bulletin for the week ended May
16 issued to-day, says
There is little if any improvement
in the crop situation. The weather dur
ing the past week was dry, except that
light, scattered showers occurred on
Saturday-drought, however, continues
in many sections and the soil in prac-
tically all counties is too dry for ger
mination and growth. Prevailing low
night temperatures are injurious to
all crops, especially cotton. The latter
is making little or no growth; a large
percentage of late paintings is not up;
stands of early paintings continue
poor; many fields are still implanted
owing to the protracted drought; Gull
tivation is in progress in the South
Numerous correspondents regard the
outlook as gloomy-some state that
the situation is worse than at this
time last season. Wheat and oats are
failing rapidly, owing to lack of mois-
ture and corn is beginning to show
the effects of the dry weather. Small
shipments of early varieties of peaches
are being made from Southern or
chards."
The reports by counties from Middle
and Southern Georgia are as follows:
Southern Section.
Berrien-Generally poor stands of
cotton, plants infested with lice, dying
in some fields, many fields not chop
ped; fall oats about ready for harvest;
minor crops good.
Brooks-Very dry, crops suffering for
moisture; melons poor and late; fall
oats good; fair crop of peaches.
Clay-Little or no rain, cool nights;
poor stands of late planted cotton,
early paintings infested with lice; corn
small and sickly; spring oats very
poor.
Colquitt-Good rains have fallen in
portions OF the county, other sections
very dry; poor stands of late planted
corn and cotton, but all crops well cul-
tivated.
Decatur-Dry weather continues;
cotton suffering for moisture; corn
holding up fairly we'll; harvesting Of
fall oats in progress, curing nicely.
Dooly-Weather unfavorable for
growth; oats suffering from drought;
corn small; peach crop promising.
Early-Good rain on 14th; cotton
chopped and worked; corn given sec

small; corn is beginning to show eff

Cotton had one of its capricious
moods yesterday, and completely up
set the knowing ones by its strange an
tics.
The futures market opened at an ad-
vance of several points both in New
York and New Orleans. The cables
were more than favorable and Liver
pool showed UP extremely well, both in
futures and spots.
The weather bureau had but little
effect, showing that it had been dis
counted in the trading.
Things moved along steadily until
the lunch hour when a wave of liqui-
dation set in, and futures tumbed like
a house built on the sand. The New
York market was % points down at
the close of the day, and the New
Orleans market was few digits worse
off.
Spots also declined in both places.
On the local market there was no
change, although thirty-one bales were
reported sold. There seems to be a
lul in the local spot situation that
nothing can seem to dispel
There was some little demand for f.,
o. b. cotton. which was quoted on a
basis of good middling at 1874 cents.
The market was quiet however
owing to the indisposition on the part
of the country to sell at present prices.
