NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES.
G. E. PIERCE CO.'S COTTON LETTER.
(By Private Wire from Gilbert & Clay.)


 NEW ORLEANS. May 25.--Cotton seemed to be incapable of retaining the friendship attracted yesterday and change of feel ing for the worst spread over the market in considerable measure. The chief causes contributing to this condition were contin- ued apathy on the part of spinners and fears of an early beneficial precipitation of rain in the Eastern belt. from whence com plaints of dry weather have circulated with corresponding influence on prices Liver pool was inclined to think one way and acted the other. Futures made some effort toward Improvement but in the spot de- partrnent a veto was imposed the small sales clearly indicated that spinners were in no mood to be driven.
 Initial trades here were effected at a moderate decline which was subsequently, magnified by increased offerings for both accounts. Fairly large spot sales occasioned some recovery but left no lasting impression. and altogether the market seemed to be in need of more earnest support. The spot sales referred to are thought to have rep resented simply transfer of actual cotton in return for May or June contracts. and the significance of such transaction is that cotton is moving to is ultimate des- tination without the necessity for fresh pur- chases. The general outlines of the situa- ton remain unchanged. Without contin- uous demand for actual cotton further | weakness is likely to develop in summer de- l liveries, in which case it will be difficult ] to sustain new crop months above prevail | ing prices unless serious accident happens | to the plant generally.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. May 25.--Perfect weather and lower cables caused weak undertone in wheat today. July closed %@hc lower: corn K@Ac higher; oats Sc higher, and provisions 5915c up
 From the start growing weather in America and a weakness in foreign mar kets had depressing influence on wheat. July opening shade to k @S lower at S6h @S6$. During the first half hour a little frmer sentiment was manifested, the market being strengthened by reported settlement of the grain shovelers' strike at
 Buffalo. Small primary receipts in the
 Southwest also tended to encourage bull traders. The demand, however. was not sufficient to cause any considerable ad- vance, the high point previously being at s6%. Numerous bearish crop reports from the Southwest came In and being accom-
 panied by selling orders from St. Louis
 houses and the result was a gradual weak
 ening of values A feature of the trading
 the wide fluctuation of May, the price of that option suddenly jumping from 95
 to 9S and then as quickly reacting to 94h.
 Inasmuch as the short interest in that month is apparently inconsequential in amount no particular significance was at tached to this sharp advance and subse- quent decline Transactions in all deliver ies were light that the market was cas-
 fly affected either way After selling down to S5% July closed at S6. May ranged be-
 tween 94h and 9S, closing at 95. Clear , ances equaled t41 100 bushels. Primary re- ceipts were 195, 100 bushels, against 254.- 500 year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported 129 cars against S2 last week and 136 a year ago.
 On a fair demand from a large provision interest a fair tone prevailed in corn. There was some purchasing on a forecast for frost for Kansas and belief that the | lake tie-up is near an end caused consider | able covering by shorts The market | closed near the high point. July opened | hc to h @ Nc lower at 47h to 47h @47%,

 | Large hog receipts with lower prices | caused some weakness in provisions early | but enormous shipments of meats brought | out good demand from shorts and a strong | tone resulted. The market closed at about

VIRGIN S FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER

NOVer PrlVate Leaseu WlTe.J
 NEW YORK, May 25-Cotton futures in the local market opened steady in tone today, with first prices 1 point higher to points lower. This was a reasonable re- sponse to the English cables. which were quite as favorable anticipated. The new crop months displayed relative ease in con- sequence of scattered liquidation following a better line of weather reports. There were showers promised in the dry sections of the cotton belt. and their predictions were made much over by the bear interests. The early trade was less active than heretofore but subsequently, A more general line of operations developed. However, there was some nervousness over the absence of con- certed bull operations. and pending the ap- pearance of a decided bull leader many in- terests are inclined to hold aloof. The mar ket was attacked by the bear forces and at times not much resistance was shown to the bear pressure The weekly Government crop report was still figured upon by the bulls since it was argued that the report fore-

NEW YORK, May 25.--The cotton market
 opened sfeady at. an advance of point to a decline of points. but almost immediate 1y weakened under liquidation and bear pressure. encouraged by generally favorable accounts and rather disappointing cables
 particularly as to the English spot market, which was quiet at a decline of points, and in the absence of bull support. Senti- ment around the ring seemed to have a bearish average but the market was evi- dently nervous and each few points down, the covering of scalping shorts would cause lar look. In a general way the tendency was downward. however. particularly when xt was seen that the forecast called for rains in the Eastern belt, where the dry weather has furnished almost the only re- cent cause for apprehension. and around tober selling at 10.75. net declines of from 1T to 21 points. At this level demand seemed to improve somewhat and with the room covering and a reactionary tendency set in which gathered force rapidly a little later on rumors that the New Or for financing whatever cotton might be ten- dered to them on contract during the sum u1er months. Under this influence July sold up to about 12.95, recovery from the low est of fully r points in a very few min utes, while the new crop rallied several ever. that the leading bear interests were nKgressfveiy opposing the advance and a uttfe later prices sagged off in spite of buy ing orders by brokers believed to represent the New Orleans bull crowd, until at the close thsy were at practically the lowest July and August. which were to points up from the bottom. The final tone was barely steady at a decline of 12@23 points. Sales estimated at 300.000 bales.
