Both turpentine and rosin showed
considerable activity yesterday. While
there was no change in the former.
many of the rosin grades changed
their front. The topnotchers, Water
White and Window Glass and Nancy,
declined points each. NJ and X re-
manned the same, being posted at S3.15
and 1920. respectively.

$3.50 to $500, II advanced points
and E and below 10 points. The sales
of resins aggregated 9,347 barrels.
The receipts of resins were also
heavier than for some time past, 1000
barrels being received, while the ex-
ports were 6S4 barrels.
Spirits sold comparatively we'll at
both calls, 167 casks being reported
in the morning and 100 at p. m.

were no advices from Brazil. Demand
here was not particularly good, but
very little coffee was offering and the

The tone of the local spot market
was changed from easy to firm yestar-
day, and official prices showed a de-
cline of &c at the only call of the
day
There was practically no business
done in spots, and the same pathetic
conditions that have prevailed for the
last week were again in evidence. All
of the cotton rings are preparing to
take a holiday the latter part of this
month. Liverpool has already annouuc-
ed suspension Of business for four
dys, and both New York and New Or
leans will shut UP shop on Saturday,
May IS and Monday, May 30.
The latter date is National Memorial
Day. 1t is not thought that there will
he any great amount of business done
until after the holidays.
Reports from the country indicate
that the cotton is coming along NICE
~ despite the long dry spell in April,
and but little replanting will be neces-
sary
The f. o. b. brokers practically had
a holiday yesterday, as the interior still
persistentiy refuses TO sell on the pres
ent market Cotton on a basis of good
middling was q-oted f. 0. b. at Ism
cents.

WARE * LELAND
Would Like to Get Octobers Under
II Cents.

II Z
New York, May 13.-Whle prices
have been gradually working lower
this week, there has been no apprecia-
ble change in the cotton situation.
Liverpool continues to be the weak
sister, and knowing the fact that the
cotton shortage exists in Great Brlt-
ain trade conditions there don appear
such as TO warrant purchases for ad
vancing prices. This has been the ma
ture OF the case for some weeks and
developments recently have thrown
now additional light on the outlook. 1t
has been and still is a most unsatis
factory market TO trade in and one n
which profits are difficult TO reap.
Everything now depends on the p og-
ress OF the next crops. in the weekly
weather report this week, the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Alabama and portions
OF Mississippi reported important sec
tons suffering Tor rain. For thee
months during the winter there was
a serious drought in the southwest,
which resulted in killing the wheat
crop, and this area has been replanted
to cotton, when rains began in the
Southwest, they came in such abund
ance that the deficiency has all been
made up and some sections now snow
several inches excess rainfall. AS we
said last week. we would like to be able
to get October under IL cents.

Savannah, Ca, May 1S.-Ohicial ca
bles this morning: Spots, IL lower,

Port receipts to-day 4,000 against g.
500 same day last year. Estimates for
to-morrow's ports 1900. against 64Q0
same day last year. The market SOLD
down early on selling by firms With
prominent Liverpool connections.
Later, some crop reports from Texas
were unfavorable and a considerable
rally ensued. Chronicles visible sup
ply statement tonight will probably
be bearish. We continue to hear con-
siderable talk of a corner in July, but
we would like to know what they are
going TO corner, as we fail to see any
short interest in July of any Conse-
quence, in spite of talk to such effect.
We continue to advise leaving old crop
alone.
Most of buying in July to-day was
by prominent Philadelphia spot cotton
interest. Market continued dull, but
we favor short side of new crop on
strong spots.
Wheat-Bearish crop news and eX-
ceedingly dull speculative conditions
combined to depress the market to-
Jay. ne SHOW ana MODERN AllleI

prospect have improved since May /.
Red River Valley land the acreage
about the same as last year, with con-
ditions favorable for a good start.
The easier tendency of provisions list
continue throughout the day. Hogs
started 5 cents higher but soon turned
weak; there was selling on stop loss
orders, and bear pressure was exerted
by a prominent local operator, chiefly
in lard.
Ribs closed relatively firm: estimated
receipts tomorrow, 5000 hogs.

|, PICKED UP ON CHANGE

Local spots moved a peg yester-
day, but in the wrong direction.
Mr. E. A. Cults, who has recently
returned from Columbus, says that the
cotton in that section is in bad shape,
and shows a lack of rain.
Cotton men had the laugh yesterday
on a prominent factor who was APP
preached by an aged negro bearing
a huge bundle of papers under his
arm. Want a paper, boss?" anxious
ly asked the Ethiopian of the cotton
man. The latter, upon scrutiny, found
that all the papers were copies of the
Congressional Record.
why, you have no right to sell those
papers; they are printed by Uncle
Sam for free distribution" said the
cotton man.
IT know dat, boss. Ise not charging
for the papers, but 1 only wants 5
cents toll for carrying them round"
promptly replied the enterprising news
carrier. The cotton man produced.
Both the New York and New Or
leans Cotton Exchanges have an
nounced holidays on May % and 30.
Liverpool will shut up shop four
days at the latter end OF the month.

Resins took a bound yesterday, and
