if points Additional shortly after on the old crop honths and to : points on the new owitg to favorable weather eondi- lions existing throughout the south. Later inithe session shorts covering and some frssh buying caused an improve ment offs to 10 points from the bottom on near u,nths but as soon as the demand was supplied values again eased off being aecelemted by the weakness of spots and anath, of spinners. The old crop months sbowei a net loss of 20 to 22 points OF inc day and the new declined 10 to l3 nointi. The break in Liverpool was at tribued to Egyptian and Continental sell ing Manchester cables say that more eheaful tone prevailes in the cloth mar ket during the past week. There was confderable turnover for India, chiefly of tighter and cheaper fabrics The China trale was dull and there were few offers of staples The movement continues light h,f as spinhers show no disposition to taxe hold and as outside speculation IS medically eliminated the market has s.gging tendency The weekly weather riport which will be issued tomorrow Is expected to complain of unfavorabie weather in the early part of the week. The weather during the latter half has been more favorable and this is antici- mated to offset the unfavorable condi- tions prevalent in the early part. As long as spinners pursue a policy of cur tailment and speculation is lacking it will he a hard matter to revive interest in the old crop months The new crop posi- lions will be governed by weather condi- lions.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert & Clay
 New Orleans, May 2.-Liverpool sup piled necessary ammunition of the bears today Record of the English market showed a sharp decline in all options which private cables ascribed to heavy selling for account of Egyptian and conti- mental operations. It is probable that the exports from this country were lnstru- mental in spreading the desire to sell abroad as no other reason was appar- ent The weekly Manchester report noted an increase of business in cloths and yarns, and signhed a more cheerful feel ing concerning future prospects
 This market dragged through the sos- sion without special feature The action of Liverpool sufficed to establish lower prices and the selling side grew in popu- larity, but a fear that the weekly gov ernment crop report to be published to- morrow would emphasize complaints of unreasonable weather and necessity for replanting, dissuaded aggressiveness on the part of shorts
 The market seems to be particularly in need of a more substantial demand from spinners for actual cotton, though while giving consideration to this phase of situation, it will not do to overlook the fact that domestic stocks are undergoing a steady depletion and it is possible that the prevailing level of price may enable manufacturers to get buster, Besides there is no positive assurance that the new crop will move early enough to amply replenish the supply for the comfort oi the spinning trade. The short side ac- cordingly appears to retain the greatest measure of risk

COTTON MARKET SHOWS WEAKNESS Decline Was Due to Weather
 Reports TRADING WAS NOT ACTIVE Partial Rally at One Time Was Caused By Turning of Shorts for
 Profits and Spindle
 Takines.
TRADING WAS NOT ACTIVE

New York May 2.-The cotton market opened weak at a decline of to 10 points under liquidation and selling by room bears, as a result of better weather over Sunday than expected, and weak Eng fish cables. Trading was not active, pu commission houses appeared to be sell ing the late months for long account and with the professionals evidently hunting for stop orders on the long side in the summer options, the market continued easy, soon increasing the decline to a matter of 13@24 points.
 Following this. there was a partial ral- ly as room shorts turned for profits and around midday the market showed som, steadlnes at a recovery of from 6 to B points on buying. encouraged by repors of good exports, while it was also report ed that eastern spinners had recently been buying out of local stocks. The gain was soon lost, however, and while the market in the late trading was more or less irregular, the general tendency was downward and the market closed at within a point or so of the lowest. The final tone was steady on moderate cov- ering wiht prices net 10@23 points lower. OdleS were eStlHldteO at only 20U,O0U bales.
 The new crop months were relatively steady in the late trading on predictions of less favorable weather in the western belt. and there also seemed ta be some demand on the ground of the weekly report of the weather bureau at midday tomorrow would prove a bullish factor. Exports for the day were heavy.
 Receipts at the ports today 561s bales. against 9696 last week, and 17,j73 last year. For the week Ss,0o0 bales against 41.S03 last week and 67,293 last year.

Caldwell 6 Wards Grain Letter.

By Bartlett Frazier & Darlington.
 Chicago, May .-Wheat-Brilliant spring weather over Sunday. better seo1- = ing reports from the northwest and fl n, Manitoba and a slower cash demand and selling by Armour followed by the pro- fessionals made a weak market in wheat today. Minneapolis advices were bearish and spring wheat reports were of a more optimistic tone. Winnipeg says that ten days of favorable weather will complete seeding of the largest acreage on record. Although some cash business was put through, the demand was not so good as the latter part of last week. Northwest ern markets were stonger relatively than Chicago, Liverpool was off fractionally at the close on large world shipments while Berlin was higher on the Russian reverses on the Yalu river We believe in the future of July, old and new figur- ing on the cash demand. the light stocks and the small movement. Crop reports should have but little bearings on these options. both should be bought on the breaks. September seems high enough under present crop prospects. Estimated receipts, forty cars.
 Corn was frmer than might have been expected in view of the heavy deliveries and the weakness in wheat and oats. The fact that the cash corn was taken care of by Armour and Armour inter- ests, nullfied the effect to a large extent. Pit trade was small and the tone dull but there was no great pressure of offer ings at any time. Weather throughout the belt is all that could be desired for blowing and planting. Demand Is slow and local cash market was 1s cent to ! cent bushel lower. We have very little confidence in the present level of values unless better demand develops. Liver pool closed 1s lower.

Caldwell L Wards Stock Letter.

By Miller x Co.
 New York, May 2.--The market today has been weak with the tendency almost uniformly downward and with rallies comparatively insignificant. The New York Herald published an interesting ar ticle this morning dilating on the con- traction in general business. The heaviest selling today was Metropolitan, due to a varity of rumors as regards liquidation of holders of the Whitney estate, the subway competition. etc. In the loan quarter of the market this morning big demand for steel preferred and Pennsyl- vania, but comparatively insignificant for other stocks It was thought this after noon considerable Union Pacific, which had been bought on the last rise backed by stop orders had been shaken out to- day. Room traders covered at the close, nevertheless the tone was weak and the general sentiment seems to be that the downward trend will continue further for the present. Total sales, 301. 200 shares.

 New York, May 2.-Bearish aggression was successful today in bringing about decline in prices. None of our friends were surprised. We think stocks in the active list as a whole may be sold upon rallies for the present.
 We are likely to have better market speaking with regard to activity As Tor improvement, we do not expect to see any advance of consequence that 1t may be brought about by an oversold condi- ton and shorts working the market down.
 If nothing serious occurs to unsettle in- vestment sentiment, the standard diVl- dend paying railroad stocks are likely to be absorbed on slumps by Investors. Total sales, 271,000.
