COT ON.

New York, May 18.-I take this
means of replying to the many in
quiries | am receiving in regard to the
cotton market. For some days ! have
been expecting in view of the visible
supply that some demand from spin
ners would develop on the basis OF
1850 for July contracts in New Y ork.
1t does not make its appearance, how
ever and the short time movement has
apparently progressed so far that man
ufactures are disinclined to resume
operations until the new crop shall
become available on a basis in har-
mony with the present prices for
goods Meantime, the reports that
reach me indicate a condition of ex-
IRENE decentralization in the dry goods
market, consequent upon the heavy
stocks and utter lack of demand This
within the past few days has been still
further accentuated by apprehension
over the auction sale of SWeetser,
Pembroke and Company's entire
stock of goods. valued at about ST.
500, 900. which is to be held next Mon
day. Should this as it is feared. es-
tablish new low record prices, it would
put the manufacturing business upon
a still more Improbable 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 manipulation, only the
hope of this manipulation Justihes the
expectation of higher prices.

New York. May 1S.-'The cotton
market opened steady at unchanged
prices to n decline of four points on
the old crop, while new crop positions

weather reports. owing to low tenn

initial declines on the old crop were

market showed firmness with July

sitions. When advances OF TO 6

been established, however. the, market
turned easier. Liverpool cables.
which had been about right on the
New York closing of the previous day
turned easier also and New Orleans
showed a marked tendency toward a
lower level. There was considerable
selling here believed to be for the
amount of a leading interest undoing
hedges between this market and Liv-
erpool, and this started prices down

and a wave of selling came in that

sent prices into new low ground. july

but New Orleans continued selling,

through the country brought in fresh
selling. order from commission house
clients and With hardly a pause July
sold down to 1910, a decline of So
points from the highest point of the
morning, and of over half a cent
from the high point of the week. The
decline was accompanied by no little
excitement, and trading was much
more active than for weeks past. To-
wards the close room covering rallied
prices 81 few points and July closed
around 1881. The final tone was
steady but it was evident that the
under-current was very nervous and
unsettled, with the rally restricted by
apprehension as to the effect of the

Ware a. Leland's
Cotton Letter.

Raleigh. N. c.. May 1S.-Wen. the
break in New Orleans that many have
been looking for, arrived today. II
carried down July and August here
as we'll and the new crop positions
broke in sympathy. 1t looks as though
the block of cotton in New Orleans
would have to come on the market
This is not a good feature 1t NAV
be the holders there will be compelled
to sell at q sacrifice. There is no
market for cotton at the moment and
If holders try to sell very much. prices
cannot stand the pressure. After the
advance Monday it looked as though
move was on. But 1t is now evident
that this advance was simply short
covering, and after shorts had bought
in their cotton the market was weaker
than before. When rains came this
week, the whole sentiment changed
and it now looks as though new crop
options would work under eleven cents
before it will be safe TO buy them.
We have avoided July and August for
some time. They are not good months
to trade in October below eleven
cents can doubtless be bought on weak
spots, with plenty of chances to get
out and make money The break in
the old crop options, however is now
under way and as long as the liqui-
dalton is on there will be small
chance of an advance in prices of the
new crop months. 1t is a very diff
cult market to read, and operations
must be of a conservative character
on both sides of the account. The
market for cotton futures closed
steady.

Market Letter,

New York May 1S.-The recent ag-
gressiveness of the bears having
ceased, traders were disposed To take
the long side of stocks for a turn
but owing to a lack of converted eff
fort the advances made were but frac-
tional. After the first hour traders
were much disappointed over the fail
ure of their efforts to produce any
following and Withdrew their orders,
which caused the market to rule duh
though steady during the remainder
of the day.
Trading in wheat today has been
quiet. and at the noon hour prices
eased off to yesterdays closing on the
denial of the report of a decreased
acreage of spring wheat. on the
decline there was fair buying which
served to hold the market steady.
Local sentiment is bearish.
Corn was quiet, but steady, but the
selling of July is considered good, and
without some further rally in wheat.
corn is likely to work lower.
Oats quiet, showing no particular
tendency.
Provisions quiet and firm.
Renewal of bearish operations in
cotton today carried prices down from
IL 20 20 points below yesterdays
closing Very little attempt was
the time being the bear party seems
to be In control. The market has
been more active of late. and the fa-
vorable weather conditions existing
over the entire belt caused some out
