DEMERE & HAMMOND
Set Forth Views in Their Cotton and
wheat Letter.

Savannah. Ga. May I'm sympathy
with the weak Liverpool, the New
York market opened at a decline, but
during the early morning held steady,
with narrow fluctuations. The situa-
ton is practically featureless except
for a fire on the Clyde Line pier, which
had a steadying tendency, shorts be-
ing afraid of further reduction in local
stocks, which are about 10000 bales.
The trade was divided, covering lines
of shorts put out during the week.
while commission houses bought a lit
tie, mostly July.
The new crop months were depressed
owing to encouraging reports of rains
along the Atlantic states. Fine wealth
er the last few days has given inn
petus TO the dry goods market and
there are more inquiries. The esti-
mates for insight and ports during this
week are extremely light and bullish.
On our close Liverpool is due to come
l to 3 lower Monday.
Wheat-The edge was off the wheat
market to-day. The effect of sensa-
tional crop reports of yesterday being
minimized to certain extent by the
lack of outside trade, and the inclina-
ton on local bulls to take profits.
The forecast for over Sunday is a
favorable one. We do not think it is
yet time to buy wheat. and some fur
Their decline is probable. Liverpool
closed NC up.
Provisions-Provisions started off
easy in spite of a higher hog market
at the yards, but this did not last,
however The general tone was easy,
with leaders inclined TO sell.

to take profits. Trade was rather
light. Southwestern receipts only S4.-
900 and shipments $4,000 bushels. Kan
sas City stock decreased $4,000 bushels
this week. The weather map was a

it is yet time to buy wheat, and some
further decline is probable.
Corn-Corn was a quiet market, with
rather featureless trade and with very
little change of values. The news was
rather scant. The demand was poor
and the low qualities of receipts sold
under yesterdays values.
Oats-There was little in the oat
market. Trade was small and the pool
operators in a limited way were incln-
ed to sell the July. The demand con-
tinues good.
Provisions-Started off easy in spite
of higher hog market at the opening.
The advance at the yards did not last,
however; the general tone was easy,
with leaders inclined to sell.

j. H. PARKER d CO.'S
Cotton Letter to Hayward, Wick &

Co.
New York, May 7.-Seasonable
weather for the growing crop has not
yet become general, and the progress
of the plant has been delayed by ex-
cessive rains in the western half of the
belt, especially in Texas, while the
eastern half complains of lack of
moisture to bring up the seed of the
ground. We are now in the first week
of May, and continuance of existing
conditions operates to make the pres
ent crop which promised to be an early
one loose all the advantage it first
enjoyed While the weather handicap
is working to retard early deliveries of
new crop the receipts from the old
crop have fallen to an abnOrmally low
ebb. In fact, the movement from
first hands is so remarkably small that
the appearance of only small demand
from spinners was sufficient to cause
an advance of 4 to IS of a cent in
spots.
Advices from New Orleans pointed to
some concerted movement among the
bullsh element there, and rumors of
an impending squeeze in July became
current at once.
There are two features at work at
the moment. one the small movement
of old cotton and the other the tickle
weather conditions. A change is badly
needed which will bring dry weather
to Texas and rains to the eastern half
of the belt

pointing Liverpools and easier New
York. Leading bulls gave the market
no support, and the bears had every

some disposition to cover. The fiuc-

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. May THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at decline of 4G9
points in sympathy with disappointing
cables, and rather more favorable
weather reports, the prospect being
for showers in the Atlantic states
where needed. There was further liqui-
dation and some bear pressure. On the
other hand, shorts were covering for
over Sunday, and there was some buy
ing by spot houses, adj Of which went
toward tmparting steadiness, so that
the market, after the opening showed
little further change, fluctuations be-
ing irregular and comparatively mar
VOW. Receipts continue light

CURRAN a co.
Say That Professionals Did Bulk OF
the Business.

New York. May THE cotton mar
ket was rather easy Saturday. Cables
were easier. Foreign orders, however,
were without special significance.
Weather reports were better Private
kilograms from the belt showed con-
siderable rain in some sections of the
South.
The trade was small and profess
sional interests doing the bulk of bust
ness. The movement continued small,
and bullish expressions were INDUCED
in with regard to the statistical posi-
ton of the staple. However, the visi-
BILE supply IS only slightly under that
of last year, and under the circum-
stances some interests were disposed
to figure that there is more cotton at
hand than generally supposed. There
was some little buying on the lower
prices, but generally, the offerings
were quite ample.
1t was still figured that bears have
been buying a great deal of July cotton
in a quiet way.

Another dull day in the cotton mar
ket was registered at the close of yes
terday's market
There was nothing to lend spice to
the general trend of things, and both
futures and spots showed a decline.
The market was weak from the be-
ginning, showing a decline in New
York from TO points. This state of
affairs was brought about by pessimis-
tic cables; and strong liquidation.
The receipts continue light, and the
weather map was more favorable
than for several days past, but even
these influences failed utterly to sus-
tain the general condition.
There was no change in local spots,
and quotations were unchanged. Some
few bales changed hands, but the To-
cal market was decidedly dull.

Say Don't BE short of Cotton Under
Any Conditions.

New York, May 1T is evident
that this market is between hay and
grass and is neither one thing nor the
other That is why we said sell out
and take profits on the bulge yester-
day. 1t was a good guess that we would
have decline again. You must re-
member that there is very little gen.
eral business in cotton and prices are
controlled by a party that has been
out of power for some time.
1t is a professional market entirely
and the professionals who make
prices from day to day are those who
believed the crop was 100000 bales
or over, and who were bears on cotton
from 9Ia cents all the way up. Do not
be short of cotton under any conditions.
