higher. The visible suppsy of all kinds during the week decreased 50,000 against a decrease of 1S7009 last year The vlsi- ble supply of American curing the same time decreased 76.000 against ls6 600 last year. The total visible supply of all kinds Is now 2,2S40o0 against 2s76,000 last year. of which the American is .1,714,000 against 1.s430O0 last year. The total Liverpool stock of American ashore and afoat Is 5s5, 900 against 6900o0 last year. The spin ners' takings of American during the week were 124000 against 23l000 last year and their total takings from September 1 10 date have been S.330.0O0 against 902S,00o last year, or 69S,000 less, indicating a con- sumption of To- .161o0a for the season on the face of the takings. The movement on it's face points to a crop of 10162,o00, therefore from the above It will be seen that while the movement since the first of April has been very light, the spin ners' takngs of American have been rel atively smaller On April 1 the indicated cron was 1O,397.000 and the consumption nointed to 10.4S5,000 and the decrease in fhe American visible was 222,OOO under last year. During the interim the indi- eated crop has been reduced to lo,62o,eeV ar 23,OO0 less the Indicated consumption to 1o161,o00 or s24,000 less ana the visible supply of American shows decrease oi 12e. 900 or a relative gain of sS 900.
 
 These figures show that while the out turn of the crop on the face of the move ment since April 1 has been reduced 2So' 0o0. spinners takings have decreased 2s4i GOO. or g4oO0 more, and the decrease in the visible supply of American has been cul down from 222 ,000 to 129,0O0, having gained e3 GOO. This data proves conclusively that spinners generally have resorted to short time. and If they continue on the same ratio there will be a sufficiency to meet all requirements even if the yield Is only 10000, coo, especially when 1t is remembered that 1, ,192. 900 bales were carried over from last year in the visible and invisible sup ply of American. It Is claimed that spin ners have curtailed then takings so heavily as they cannot dispose of their manufactured product on a profitable basis which is accounted for by the average price of the raw article so far this season being about 4 cents per pound more than it was last year. As 1t has been many years since raw cotton sold as high as this season spinners deem it more advisable to work on short time under existing. conditions, While the facts demonstrate d weakening on the statistical position from week to week, vet there is great danger in selling the old crop months short speculatively, be cause even if this supply is requisite, it may be sufficiently small to attract manipulation. Under the circumstances we strongly advise your friends against having any interest on either side in the summer months. We think we'll! !of con fining operations exclusively to the new crop months which will be governed by weather conditions, s .t.

THE MOUNTAIN GOAT.
Rare Photograph Eecured by Camera
 Hunter In tho Rockies.

From Country Life in America
 It was then nearing o'clock and high time that we were seeking out a return trail Below us lay "Avalanche Basin" but there was no sign to indicate how or where we could avoid or cross an inter- vening precipice. We slxirted the glacier toward the upper basin. Nearing the brink of modest ledge rolling of stones startled me, and the next instant an awkward bunch of white was seen making for the scrub cedar and pine and the basin beyond Could 1t be possible that a Rocky Mountain goat had been feeding at my very feet and was even then running scarcely twenty yards away? Its little head was lost behind it's shaggy shoulders, and If a snapshot had been possible it would have looked like a snowball or a sack of wool. It was late and cloudy, and a sharp exposure seemed necessary Would my song at tract and stop even a mountain goat as 1t has deer, badger, and rattlesnakes? In- stinctively. l began to sing as I spread out my tripod and took time even to level up and to be assured of my stops, speed and composition. The goat, curious as to the strange sounds and doubting if it really had cause for alarm, paused and half turning. gave me the opportunity had hoped for. "Click-clck' spoke the shutter and off ambled the goat, no more to te seen, even though hurried through the brush to the edge of the cliff and searched in every direction.

cothran 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

By Gilbert x Clay.
 New Orleans, May 7.-Liverpool sue cumbed to the bearish features of the weeks statistics to the extent of a sharp decline on old crop deliveries, but fall months only participated in half measure, showing that complaints of un- satisfactory crop progress are not pour ing into deaf ears
 Considering the unfavorable influence of the visible supply statement on the minds of most traders, opening prices here would doubtless have been material ly lower, but for the occurance Of lire in New York involving some 5000 bales of cotton, which occasioned steady tone in the market of the metropolis, where there is not a sufficiency of cotton to burn. Reports of additional excessive rains in Texas accompanied by com plaints of serious damage to the crop helped to attract a fair demand. Besides there Is no assurance that burdensome surplus must be carried into the new sea- son even if spinners takings fall to in crease, and there Is no positive promise of the new crop. Thus while the selling side is fashionable with most traders at present, 1t will not prevent the market from responding readily to the first signs of improvement in domestic trade.

New York. May 7.-The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 4Q9 points in sympathy with disappointing cables and rather more favoraDie weather re- ports the prospect being for showers in the Atlantic states where needed. There was further liquidation and some bear pressure. On the other hand, shorts were covering for over Sunday and there was some buying by spot houses, all of which went toward steadiness, so that the mar ket, after the opening showed little fur ther change, fluctuations being irregular and comparatively narrow. Receipts con tinue light.

AFTER THE SALMON.
Not the Expensive Sport in Newfound-
 land as Many Suppose.

From Country Life in America
 According to popular belief salmon fishing is of necessity a sport for the rich alone, no man of even moderate means presnming so much as to think of indulging In it. In British Isles and other parts of northern Europe this is undoubt- ediy true. Even in this country and in Canada in the last few years the salmon waters have been taken by clubs and in- dividuals. so that now the fishing Is re- strlcted to the few, but Labrador and Newfoundland are left free and moder- ately accessible to the fishing public liv- ing in the eastern states; and improved traveling facilities have made the trip to Newfoundland a matter of ease, so the number of sportsmen visiting that island is increasing enormously. Fortu- nately the island Is large-more than 300 niles each way--and the rivers very nu- merous so that it will be some time be- fore the country Is crowded. Thus far only a very few of the most accessible rivers have been fished in at all. Along the east coast and the northern peninsula are many rivers that have never known fisherman. At the present time these are rather difficult of access by land, 1t is true, but by chartering a small vessel fishermen can, at moderate cost, visit the most remote of them and be sure of almost unlimited salmon.

MANY NOT QUOTED AT ALL

q New York, May 7.-Today's dealings re- veaIed a condition of neglect in the stock market fully equal to that which pre- vailed before the Northern Securities decision was handed down and that had been unequalled for many years previ- ously. Many of the most prominent stocks in the list were not quoted at all until near the close of the market ana then were only dealt in single lots or lVo shares. Prices sank from pure mann ton and no regard was paid to any news
 The bank statement itself was or only nominal effect as the large cnahses shown in the various items were pretty accurately foreseen. The depletion of SIC, 42O,O50 in the surplus reserve stlii leaves that item at s22,724,20O, compared with $10,029, ,s25 on this date last year. ana s3.461,O00 two years ago. There IS no threat of a constriction of money supply in this showing but the statement shows a rather pronounced process of deple- ton of the plethoric condition of money, both by cash reduction through the gold exports and by loan expansion.
 The Judgment, of capital thus effected aS IS the NeW 1Orh cily pohu iSs"e' eiis week and the Japanese loan to come. gives some relief from the likeness of large amounts of capitaI, which has shown signs of some pressure for outlet in the railroad bond market. This apparent necessity of idle capital to seek the bond market has been a sustaining Influence against some of the discourag- ing factors in the general outlook and the apprehension is felt that a disposition to sell securities may grow with a les sened prospect of better market Total sales of bonds, $725,000.

By Ware & Leland.
 New York, May. 1.-The dullness be- came acute today. Complete stagnation expresse the condition. Many active stocks did not open during the first half of the two hour session.
 Very few brokers were in attendance. It appears as If the climax or inactivity had been reached and a more aggressive condition of affairs Is imminent. What course the market will take however is still largely guess work
 We are inclined to favor the bear side for a .'pull.''
 The bank statement was. a. surprise, the increase of $21,000, GOO in loans being looked upon as a bad feature It augurs for somewhat higher rates next week. , There was trifling more activity after the statement but at this writing it prom ises to be a record day for small trans actions on the exchange. We are bearish for next week. I8tt Total sales, 3920O
