0. E. FIERCE 6 CO.'S COTTON LETTER.

kBy Prtvate Wire from Glbert a Clay)
 NEW ORLEANS, May 2.--Liverpool sup piled necessary ammunition for the bears to-day. Records of the English market showed a sharp decline in all options which private cables ascribed to heavy selling for account of Egyption and continental op- orators. It is probable that the liberal ex- ports from this country were instrumental in spreading the desire to sell abroad, as no other reason was apparent. The weekly Manchester report noted an increase of busi- ness in cloths and yarns and signified a more cheerful feeling concerning future prospects. This market dragged through the session without special feature. The action of Liverpool sufficed to establish lower prices and the selling side grew in popularity but fear that the weekly gov- ernment crop report Ito be published to- morrow would emphasize complaints of un- reasonable weather and necessity for re- planting, 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 phaze of the situation, 1t will not do to overlook the fact that domestic stocks are undergoing steady depletion. and 1t 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 of the entire spinning trade. The short side accordingly appears to retain the greatest measure of risk.

Desire to See Payment for the Pana- ma Canal Settled Has Had Its | Effect in Keeping Senti-
 ment Unsettled.

NEW YORK. May 2.-Rather a larger voiume of business was transacted on the Stock Exchange today than the tions were rather wider. The specific cause of the heaviness of the market was not easy to discern, but the de- sire to see the e eration of the Pan anna Canal payment terminated has an influence irf Keeping sentiment un- settled. The reticence observed by the agents in this operation as to details. which Is to be carried out. leaves little pasls for accurate estimates and the general assurances offered by these agents that every precaution has been taken to guard against disturbance of the money market. does not entirely that the device of the French syndicate which advanced the purchase price to the canal stockholders and the CO., operation with New York bankers, are designed to mitigate and distribute the effect of the large transaction. but nothing has been offered to indicate that the ultimate results to the New by these devices. The additional call by the Secretary of the Treasury upon Government depositors make evident also that the full amount of the Pan- anna purchase will be withdrawn in ef- feet from Government deposits with banks. Another result of the additional call on Government Repositories will be the release of Government bonds ncio TUT tHe security or tneSe QeposilS. The effect was seen in the decline in Government bonds today. How far this condition may induce the banks to take out additional circulation is a question Of interest. It Is felt that the uncer- tain outcome of these various factors may account in no small part for the halt in the stock market. Today's market missed the sustaining effect of the recent advancing tendency in Lon don, where the exchange was closed for holiday while the more indirect ef- feet of the Paris market was depress- ing. owing to the Russian reverse on the Ya1u River. The weekly returns showed no decisive improvement in the railroad traffic situation, and the net earnings for March reported continued the poor comparison with last year. The outlook for the. .Atchison machin- fists was an adverse factor, although that stock held better than some other Pacifics. Expressed opinions by trade authorities that urgent European de- mand for copper was probably satis- fled, seemed to prompt the selling of were hurt by rumors which later were denied, that the Attorney General had In contemplation an action against the anthracite combination. The local transactions made sharp reactions from recent speculative advances. Weather poets. The money market was unaf- fected by the additional gold engage ments. The closing tone of the mar ket was easy and prices were generally near the lowest of the day.
 Bonds were heavy in sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par value, $1.830,- 900. United States bonds declined 1-4 per cent on call for all Issues.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 CHICAGO, May 2.-Unsurpassed weather conditions caused a heavy realizing sale or wheat to-day The result was a net loss of 1Mc in the July price. Corn Is down %c. Oats are off %c. Provisions are up 2Hz Q 5c.
 the wheat market opened about steady with July unchanged to Ac lower at S5 Y @S5h. Soon, however, reports Of excellent weather throughout the greater part or Ale country created a bearish sentiment. In q. h. sequence, after a slight advance during the first few minutes when July sold up to s5A prices started on downward career Indifferent cables, large world shipments, an increase of 1.92S.000 bushels In the amount on passage all were additional bear factors. There was general commission house selling. Many stop loss orders came out on the way down. One of the most in fluential traders in the pit was conspicu- GUS seller. News from the Northwest was extremely bearish. One report stated that all mills at Minneapolis would close down Wednesday on account or a lack or oe- mand for flour. Although the wheat mar ket here received fair support at times liquidation was so liberal that prices con tinued to decline throughout the session. The close was weak with July at s4B B, after selling at SAX. Clearances of wheat ana flour were equal to 5000. The visible sup ply decreased $50, 900. Primary receipts were S4460O bushels. asains 629,9o0 bushels year ago Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 162 cars, against loa cars last week ana oto d ySdA d5O'
 Decreased receipts with a small percent age of contract grain held the corn market firm early in the day in spite of the weak ness in wheat. There was a good demand from pit traders and commission houses and with light offerings prices showed moderate advance. Cables however, were lower and all deliveries on May contracts were quite heavy. These influences in con- nection with the slump in wheat finally started O selling movement, selling In de- cline of about a cent from the high point. The weather also was against higher prices, being favorable for planting. The close was weak and near the bottom July opened a shade to h9Ac lower at 4Sb Q B, sold between 47A and 4SB @ @4S%, closing at 47M94s. Local receipts were 145 cars, 13 contract grade.
 Weakness in wheat deliveries of about a million bushels on May contracts and fla brought out liberal liquidation of oats. At times the market received fair support from shorts, but the demand was not sut- ficient to check the declining tendency. The market closed weak with prices near the low point July opened unchanged to 1sc lower at 3eA @39%. ranged between SS1s and 39Ih and closed at 3S&. Local receipts were 51 cars.
 In the face of weakness in grains and at a slight advance in all products. fair demand from pit traders for ribs was the cause of the late firmness. the market rul- ing easy the greater part of the day. in sym pathy with grains July pork closed 5c higher at 12. 02h. Lard also was up 5c at 6.72h Ribs showed a gain of 21s 95c at 645.

H. B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.


 NEW ORLEANS, May 2.-Liverpool was very disappointing, consequently our mar ket opened to 10 lower. and decIined Is additional shortly after the old crop months and to on the new. owing to fla out the South Later on in the session caused an improvement of to 10 points soon as the demand was supplied values again eased off being accelerated by the weakness of spots and apathy of spinners. The old crop months showed q net loss Of 20 to 22 points on the day. and the new de- clined 10 to 13 points The break in Lv- erpool was attributed to Egyptian and con tinental selling. Manchester cables say that a more cheerful tone received in the cloth market during the past week. There was considerable turnover for India, chiefly of lighter and cheaper fabrics. The China trade was dull and there were few offers of staples. The movement continues light. but as spinners show no disposition to take hold, and outside speculation is practic- ally eliminated, the market has a sagging tendency. The weekly weather report which will be issued to-morrow. Is expected to complain of unfavorable weather in the early part of the week. The weather dur ing the latter half has been more favor able and this is anticipated to offset the unfavorable conditions prevalent in the early part. As long spinners pursue a policy of curtailment, and speculation is lacking. 1t will be . hard matter to re- vive interest in the old crop months. The new crop positions will be governed by weather conditions.
