market fell into profound dizziness and
neglect thus rejecting the unwilling
ness of any buyers to take stocks on
an upward scale of prices. The re-

(By the Associated Press. }

New York, May 19.-The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to decline of 1 point with
the trade awaiting developments.
Cables were about steady, Liverpool
showing a disposition to go no furth-
er than follow the local declines OF
yesterday and the trade at first seemed
apprehenSive that supporting orders
would be in market leading to the mo-
mentary hesitation. Almost at. once,
however, selling orders reached the
ring and prices broke sharply. July,
which had opened at 1921 sold down
to 1902 with hardly a pause and the
rest of the list showed almost equal
weakness. AS prices went down there
was considerable demand. Shorts
showed disposition to cover and
there was some buying on the reaction
theory, sufficient to cause momentary
reactions and considerable irregular
ity. In general way the market con-
tinued to show Weakness however. and
at the lowest sold at 1900 for July;
11.O5 for October. and HOO for De-
cember. Following this there was
something of a rally in the late trad
ing on increased covering and bullish
wires from New Orleans. A promi-
nent Wall Street operator continued
SelitllS TlSIll up u the ClOSe illHOuSli
the market showed a fair recovery in
spite of that pressure and closed
steady at a decline of to s. points
on the old crop while the new crop
positions were unchanged to points
higher. The rally toward the close
was helped by the continued light re-
ceipts. The interior movement reached
only 646 bales for the day and was said
to be the smallest ever before wit
messed so early in the season.
Weather reports during the day
were generally favorable aside from
continued low temperatures in some
sections. Sales futures estimated al
100000 bales.
Receipts at the ports today 3,719
bales, against 4,607 last week and s.
572 last year. For the week 10000
bales against %, rs last week and 49,
964 last year. Today's receipts at New
Orleans were 1,133 bales, against 3
$40 last year, and at Houston 300
bales, against 2,579 last year.
New York, May i9-Cotton spot closed

Ware g. Leland's
Cotton Letter

Raleigh, n. c., May 19.-Another
break TODAY on New Orleans selling.
No chance in the market, simply
liquidation. New orleans appears to
have grown tired of the strain and
thrown cotton overboard. 1t would
have been better for the market to
have the New Orleans stock distri-
buted rather than concentrated, But
the trade there has us own way of
doing things. The absence of a good
demand for cotton has turned the sit
uation into one of such dizziness that
when New Orleans tried to hedge the
market here and in New Orleans ii
gave way AS long as the crop news
is better, we look for no change.
There will be nothing to buy on as
long as spot cotton is heavy and crop
news good. 1t may be the June
condition will not be uD to the stand
ard, but there will be nothing to buy
on for a time without actual damage.
We would like to see the October OPP
ton get below eleven cents, and then
on any bad news there will be
chance to buy cotton for money. AS
it is we DO not care 10 be short. Many
are selling the new crop options and
this is likely to lead to an unwieldly
short interest should bad news come.
Too much depends on the next crop.
There will be a boil WceVil scare later
on. This NAV be a bear year, but it
is too early to take a stand either
way. 1t is a scalping market with a
downward tendency. The market for
cotton futures closed steady

Futures opened barely steady and

Bears promptly hammered in New
York and this sent prices off with
Liverpool showing a quick response.
In the local market the opening
brought out a great mass of selling
orders that had evidently accumulated
over night. Short sellers were in the
majority and the market was sent
down solely under the weight of sell
ing orders. For some time after the
opening it was distinctly weak and
but for profit-taking by shorts July

Market Letter
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
New York, May 19.-There wereeno
especial features of interest in todays
market nor stocks, although there was
some unusual heaVineSS in sugar
which lost point on moderately large
transactions. The well known earning
power of the American Sugar Refining
Company, together with the knowledge
that the stock is very closely held
would make it appear as a most dan
gerous stock for the bears to attack
In the remainder of the list stocks de-
clined about the amount of yeSter-
days fractional advances and were ex-
ceedingly dull.
The feature of today's market in
grain was the active demand for the
May option which carried the price to
$1.00 per bushel. The July options
participated to a lesser extent but all
grains were strong throughout the ses-
sion foreigners are said to be buy
ing September and December wheat
futures to do export business on and
it is reported that forty loads of wheat
for August and September shipment
were worked on Tuesday.
Corn and oats were both higher and
the volume of trading in these grains
has increased somewhat owing to the
more active wheat market.
Liverpool cables came about as ex-
pected today, reporting sales of 5000
bales spot cotton at points decline.
The local market opened weak, but af-
ter the first hour bear pressure was
withdra wn to a certin extent and mod
crate Improvement occurred. The
shorts point to the fact that there is
very little demand for spots, and until
some improvement is noticeable they
will not be disposed to buy cotton. Spot
markets in the South are all easier. but
the decline has not improved the de-
mand. We look for gradually lower
prices. w > SMITH, ~
