was not altogether favorable. Tenn

DEMERE & HAMMOND
Say Good Weather Means Low Prices
for Months.

for Months.
Savannah. Ga. May 9.-The fluctua-
tions in to-days cotton market while
comparatively narrow, have afforded
a good opportunity for scalping, and
while July cotton opened at the low
figures of 1850, it sold up to 1860, and
closed at 1859, thus offering a good
opportunity for conservative trading
Reduction in the New York warehouse
stock is causing some concern and a
continuation of the present reduction
indicates that the running account in
New York by July / will not be over
$4,000 bales, against Is, 800 last year.
The stock to-day is 1900 bales. Much
interest is felt in to-morrow's bureau
report, and the opinion as to its nature
is mixed. Total United States stocks
at ports 331. 900 bales, against 2SS, 900
last year; of this, Galveston has 10000
bales.
The Evening Mail is out with a sta
tistical estimate in which they claim
that the entire remaining supply of
cotton can be absorbed by Southern
and British spinners, leaving for the
continent and Northern spinners. A
continuation of good weather means
low prices for the far months, while
any setback during the week may
mean a decided advance.

WARE d LELAND
Say They Would Buy on n Break
and Take Profits.


New York, May 9.-The market acts
very much like short market On the
decline this morning cotton was not
easy to buy, and while the tone looked
uncertain any one on the floor could
see that there was more cotton wanted
than could be supplied without putting
up prices. The market is in the hands
of its enemies at the present time.
That is, men who have been all
wrong this year.
We talk about the 91s cents bears
because they are about the only peo-
pie trading in the market to-day. No
one is willing to take an aggressive
stand on the side of higher prices. This
explains the market. Take our word
for 1t, there is nothing to be short of
cotton on. One may. wake up some
day with bad weather and the roof
will come off. Around 1917 cents there
is a good demand for cotton, On any
advance of 30 or 40 points business is
not large enough to keep the rise GO
ing. Then things collapse. We would
buy on a break and take profits on
any advance.

CURRAN & co.
Say Cables Report Manchester to
BE Unsatisfactory.

New York, May 9.-There was a
steady opening to the cotton market
to-day, but prices on some of the OPP
tons were lower in consequence of
scattered liquidation following the Liv-
erpool cables which were less favora-
bic than expected.
The private cables repouted Man
chester conditions to be rather I'M
satisfactory, the recent advance in
raw cotton prices having checked the
business in cotton goods to no small
extent. The offerings were not large,
and as the day wore on there was some
buying on the reaction theory. The
weather conditions were not altogether
favorable.
The mill reports from New England
continued of a bearish turn and some
of the local bears made much of these
advices. The late market was dull and
narrow.

Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick a
Company,

Company,
New York, May 9.-The weekly re-
port from Manchester this morning
was surprisingly favorable, the de-
mand for goods being sufficient to set
more looms in operation, while bus
mess was put through for India. Chi
ma, South America and the home trade,
q point of especial interest is the dis
cussion of the available supply of
American cotton for the balance of the
season, and the fact that the resump-
ton of full time was dscountenanced
for fear that II would cause prices to
be rushed up is strong evidence of
the improved good condition. The Liv-
erpool market, however, did not be-
tray any special demand from Spin
ners', the sales being only 5000 bales
at points decline. Futures were also
neglected and lower. but rallied some
what to a colorless close. The cotton
bought then is arriving now at the
ports for shipment abroad.
Notwithstanding the bear argument
that nobody cares to take the short
side in the face Of strong statistical
cradle short interest already exists.
All that is needed to give the
bull element opportunity to start fresh
campaign is some unfavorable devel-
opment In new crop prospects. Until
something of that sort happens, how
ever, the bulls are likely 20 remain
quiet. patiently awaiting their oppor-
tunity.
