By Gilbert & Clay.
 New Orleans May 5.-Liverpool was ap- parently In no mood to follow the die tates of pessimism and only a trifing recession was noted in the value of deliV- cry. while spots held to yesterdays quo- tations amidst sales of 5000 bales thus helping to confirm reports of improved business in Manchester.
 Trading here was characterized by short covering which evidently derived It's incentive from the diminished quan- tity of offerings and fear that the mod crate demand occasioned by unsausfae- tory progress of the crop would sudden ly turn the tide. This apprehension was not expected as moderate orders to buy encountered a scarcity of sellers and a sharp rise in prices was established be- fore executions were practicable.
 In favor of the market is the lighter movement, strong statistical position and disappointed hopes of an early movement of the new crop. Against it, Is the dull- ness of dry goods. due to a fear of mer- chants to stock up with what they fear to be high priced goods and consequent inability of spinners to dispose of goods satisfactorily. With the new crop en- countering serious Interruptions, how ever there is no telling but the views of dry goods people may undergo a change for the better and that is the sole requi- site for the acceleration of advanced prices.

PRICE MOVEMENT WAS VERY SLIGHT News of Japanese Loan Has
 Little Effect. MARKET STILL SLUGGISH United stateo Steel Was Somewhat Relieved From the Pressure to
 Which 1t Has Recently
 Been Subjected.
MARKET STILL SLUGGISH

New York, May 1.-The sluggishness and narorwness of the stock market was even more notable today than on previ- ous days this week. The movement of prices was so slight as to offer little basis for comment. United States Steel preferred was somewhat relieved from the pressure to which it mas been re- gently subjected and Pennsylvania was rather freely sold with the dividend on. This stock held firm yesterday In race of the poor showing of earnings, presum- ably on account of the desire Of holders to collect the cash dividend, and from the unwilHngnes of bears to remain snort of the stock over the dividend period, since they are obliged to pay the ac- cruing dividend.
 Ther was only such buying of stocks as seemed necessary to prevent the sag ging tendency which is normal to stag nant market. The news of the day had little effect either way. Such develop ments as there were offered nothing to stimulate any revival of speculation. Some attention was paid to the reported hitch in the plan for payment of the Panama canal, but the mater was regard ed as concerning the parties to the con- tract in question of technical detail rather than the general money situation.
 The winding up of the United States Steel stock conversion syndicate involves additional calls upon the money market to meet the assessment bids releasing block of bonds that may offer, neither of which incidents is capable of an inter- pretation in favor of the market.
 The news from London of the Notation of a Japanese loan of 900, of which New York is expected to take half goes to make up the real abundance of capital resources here and the money market was quite unaffected by these prospec- tive claims upon it. The intimation that the proceeds of the loan are to be left on deposit here with a view to their ulti- mate expenditure in our markets was a modifying factor in the news of the loan.
 The weather reports were favorable to the crops, but the Illinois state report on poor winter wheat was of more influence as was the case with the Missouri state reports of the purchase of steel rails by some of the railroads, but the stock gave way slightly after the announcement that the Shelby Iron company would defer dividends. Fresh cutting of rates by some of the western railroads threatened re- newal of the rate war in that region, and had a disturbing effect. The advance in refined sugar was taken as explanatory of yesterdays strength in sugar, but 1t was not followed up today.
 Railroads reporting weekly gross earn lngs showed declines without exception tor the fourth week in April. Prices re- ceded late in the day under offerings by tired holders, but the decline did not proceed far. The days net changes were trivial losses. There was more variety in the bond market than in stocks.

points lower on old crop. moderate un- changed 10 1 point higher on new. Not withstanding weather conditions were fa- vorable throughout the south 1t was ap- parent that those short of the near months were anxious to cover fearing
 manipulation. This and q better Inquiry from spots caused an advance of g to 35 points from the bottom on old crop months and II to 14 points on the new, making net gain of 2s points on the near options, and 10 to 12 on the late. The im- pression generally prevails that the sum- mer months in the local market will be manipulated. The light movement and an improved demand for spots and the fear that artificial means may be resorted to at any moment to enhance values have been instrumental in restricting outside speculation. Considering the strength of the statistical position and the uncertain tv as to the outturn of the next crop, 1t is foolhard for any one 10 sell the sum mer months short speculatively. The heavy discounts in the new crop months do not make it attractive to sell these positions because any decided set back would be the signal for a sharp advance. Under these conditions conservative op- orators and traders generally believe II Is best to even up trades and await future developments. Barring manipulation the action of spinners will continue to govern old crop options and weather conditions will regulate the course of the new.

MARKET IMPROVED AFTER THE OPENING Cables Were Disappointing in
 the Beginning. DAYS ESTIMATES LIGHT Becomes Steady In the Afternoon at Unchanged Prices to an Ad-
 vance of Twelve
 Points.
DAYS ESTIMATES LIGHT

New York, May 5.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of to F points under liquidation and some sell Ing by room brokers following disap- pointing cables and generally favorable early weather advices. At first there was some hesitation, but it soon devel- oped that room shorts were covering presumably as a result of the continued light movement and talk of a still fur ther reduction in supplies as a result of exports and better demand from domes- tic spinners while it also appeared that the more aggressive attitude assumed by leading southern operators recently was leading to apprehensions as to position of the summer months
 At any rate the market almost at once began to improve on the old crop posi- tions. which were in demand by shorts and spot houses, and while the favorable weather accounts naturally exerted de- pressing effect on the new crop positions, this was offset to some extent by fur ther adverse crop accounts as result of the less favorable climatic condition of the past few weeks. The very light estimates for the days movement were reinforced as an influence by light esti- mates for leading points tomorrow and led to a belief in very bullish into sight showing tomorrow.
 In addition to this very bullish mes sage were received from New Orleans with rumors of a corner in the May posi- ton in that market, but while all these bullish items had their effect here, they seemed rather to restrict selling, than to greatly stimulate demand so far as the old crop positions were concerned. Prices, however. continued to creep upward, un- til in the afternoon July was selling at 1880 and October at 1147, a net advance of 10 to 19 points, Following these, the market eased off a few points under room covering and was finally barely steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 12 points. Sales were reported of 3O0,- 900 bales.
 Estimated receipts at the ports today were 5000 bales, against 4l29 last week. and 95S0 last year For the week. Ss,0O0 bales, against 1903 last week, and 67,293 last year. Todays receipts at New Or leans. 95O bales, against 3239 last year, and at Houston, 524, against 32s6 last year.

 Chicago, May 5.-Wheat opened strong err the immediate reason was a little hard to find early Reports were appar- ently uncomfortable over the situation regarding the old crop futures, and the local professionals were the largest buy CTS. ertificates were called yesterday to cover the sale of one northern and two red. Later In the day crop advices be- came very bullish Snow expects a low CT condition the first of the month than April 1. and Jones, of the commercial vest is out with statement which in some respects borders on the sensational. He considered the crop In a position where it might go to pieces within the next thirty days if weather conditions are not favorable. He estimates that eight states east of the Rocy mountains will raise 6O.0O0,0oO bushels less than a year ago The Illinois crop bulletin places the acreage lost from various sources at 13 per cent Duluth, Kansas City and St. Louis markets were s.rong, but Min neapolis was inclined to drag, doubtless affected by the bull flour trades Pri- mary receipts everywhere were light compared with last year and with the shipments on the other hand may be noted the extremely favorable weather temperatures are seasonable and precipi tation was general in the southwest and scattered over the seeded area of spring wheat territory.
 The price current reports a favorable week for growth. The Northwestern Mil- Ter was bearish on the flour situation. Output last week was far below that of a year ago. The manager of the Pills bury mills is very bearish on wheat and reports flour stocks east liberal. We feel rather strong on the old crop futures, but would advise caution in regard to buying on these sharp bulges
 Corn.-Some of the larger professional operators became uneasy because the strength in wheat and covered short corn in market rather bare of offerings. There was little in the legitimate situ- alton to cause anxiety. better cash trade yesterday than at rrst reported and the light primary movement possibly influenced that good many shorts. The price current says: Preparations for large acreage is progressing under 1avor- able conditions. Country purchases this morning were heavy and demand Is slow. Cash market was half lower Tor the low grades but steady for the better ones. Delayed reports for Illinois and Nebraska show excellent blowing and planting con- ditions. The Liverpool market closed practically unchanged. Receipts estimat- ed for tomorrow, 20l.
 The proyjsion list following in a gen. eral way the strength of grains and was also influenced by the lighter local re- ceipts of hogs and stronger market for them On the bulge there was selling by na actine interests. Cash demand is said to he poor for both meats and lard. Esti- mated receipts tomorrow. 1S,000.

 New York, May 5.-The market today has to a large extent been a repetition of the past week, although in some in- stances good buying has been seen, such as in Copper, Union Pacific and Realty preferred but even this failed to stimu- late public interests.
 There is very little commission house business, and we are still of the opinion opinion that although the market is in a position for sharp rally, that as an investment 1t is a sale.
 There are no special features today ex- cept the weakness of Pennsylvania which Is due to a bad March statement. Total sales, 153000.

July first went off 5 points from yesterdays close. to 13 3.92, on rather free offerings and the recovery took it up to 14.O9, or IT points higher than the lowest levels of the morning Neither October or December went below the level of yesterdays close. The mar ket was affected by no new features. The statistical position grew stronger in the interior, and the movement was alarm ingly light, Lut this attracted no atten- tion Even the bears admit that the sta- tistical position of the staple could not be stronger.
