Stocks end Bonds.

New York, May 29.-The market
for stocks in New York today was
made almost wholly from London.
The advance in prices in London af-
forded opportunity for selling Ameri-
cans in that market and repurchasing
in New York at d profit before they
advanced to a parity here London
took very hopeful view of the results
to follow the decisive defeat of the
Russian fleet and prospects for peace
were believed to be brighter. All fl
nancial markets are agreed as to the
benefits to their own affairs Of the ter
mination of the war The higher level
of prices established in sympathy with
London failed entirely to attract any
demand and there was a languid pres
sure of long stocks at a few points
which served as an additional discour-
agement. The United States Steel
stocks were heavy at the advance and
there was realizing in Ontario & West
ern on last weeks large. gain. The
decision of the Supreme Court in favor
of the New York State franchise tax
had been quite positively foreseen and
it's only apparent effect was to drive a
few uncovered shorts in the public
franchise stocks to cover. Railroad
traffic officials reported some tendency
to the customary mid-season dullness,
but expressed themselves on the
whole as well satisfied with the volume
of traffic offering News of further
conditions from the grain crops was
more favorable. Prices dropped from
neglect during the midday period but
rose to the best in the final dealings,
caking the closing strong.
Dealings in the Japanese bonds dealt
in on the New York exchange, were

show gains ranging from 3-S@4

LESS COTTON ACREAGE.
The South Has Surprised the World in
Holding and Decreasing.

Mr. T. B. Parker, the State Bust
ness Agent of the Southern Cotton
Association, says that in North Caro-
lima the cotton crop will be decreased
at least % per cent in acreage. Last
year there were 100000 bales and
this will mean a great decrease. The
reports he receives are that the de-
crease is general throughout the
country. The weather conditions he
holds mean also a smaller crop and
this has aided in putting the price
up. AS to Mr.. Prices declaration that
no force can drive a stream up hill
Mr.. Parker says that a stream can
be stopped from running, down hill
and that the South has surpr sed the
world in it's ability to hold the cot
ton crop. He believes there is a IL
surprise ahead for me Spectators
who have been figuring that the cot
ton farmers can't hold together.

COTTON ACREAGE.
Department of AgricuI-
ture Gives Out Official
Information.

The Department of Agriculture an
nounced yesterday the acreage of the
leading crops in the State, and in view
of the fact that there is important
bearing of the acreage devoted to cot
ton upon the prices of this staple, and
the unusual interest felt in the size of
the crop planted, the department has
exerted itself in extraordinary efforts
to secure the most accurate and COM
plete reports from the cotton growers.
An interesting feature of the report
below is the difference between the
estimated acreage of all the cotton
counties and of a dozen of the largest
cotton counties, representative of the
different sections.
The cotton statistics are as follows:
The total cotton acreage compared
with that of last year, rs 1857 per
cent Indicating a decrease of 81
26-57 per cent.
The total acreage in twelve large
cotton counties, 81 per cent. Indicat-
ing a decrease of 10 per cent.
The reports from the twelve coun-
ties above referred to are as follows:
Arson 81 per cent; Beaufort, So per
cent; Cleveland, 81 per cent; Edge
combe, 81 per cent. Halifax 10 per
cent; Johnson, &c IL per cent; Neck
lenburg, n per cent; Pitt, so IL per
cent; Robson, 50 per cent; Union, 8
per cent; Wake, 70 per cent. Wayne
85 per cent.
Owing TO the late spring the cold
or cool weather and the excessive
rains during the last three weeks,
there is much complaint of the pres
ent condition of the crops. Grass,
scarcity of labor and the wet weather
are the chief causes of complaint
These results were carefully COM
piled from the reports of large num-
Der of regular department correspond
ents, and are given out to be approx
mately correct.
The work of preparing the annual
report is in charge of Mr.. Cherry, who
does chiefly the entire work by him
self, and the annual report is one or
the monumental achievements of the
year at the Department of Agricul-
ture.

COTTON OPENS
At AN ADVANCE
An Active and Excited
Market.
THE CLOSE Is STEADY
There is Net Advance Of Eight to
Twenty Points With Late Months
Showing the Greatest Gains.
Optimism Sends Wheat Il
Down.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, May 29.-The cotton
market was active and excited. The
opening was strong at an advance of
10M Is points and during the early
trading July sold up to SAL, October
to S.45, and December to $50, or net
gains of 22@26 points on active buy
ing for both accounts following the
sensational gains m Liverpool; the
crop report of a New Orleans newspa-
per predicting decrease in acreage of
% per cent. and reporting the most
gloomy crop prospect in years, and the
Japanese naval victory in the Far East
which was believed to mean a speedy
end to the war At the advance there
was heavy profit-taking by buyers of
last week, influenced by the desire to
even up before the holiday tomorrow
and the more favorable weather con-
ditions, but after working back some
10m12 points from the best the mar
ket, while less active, ruled very ner-
vous and irregular. The close was
steady in tone at net advance of 8 a
20 points with late months showing
the greatest gains. Sales futures were
estimated at 500, 900 bales
Another private crop report was is
sued during the day placing the de-
crease in acreage at 14.4 per cent, and
the conditions at 1911 per cent.
Steadying influence toward the close
included expectations of bullish
weekly crop report on Wednesday and
further apprehensions as to the show
ing of the governments monthly re-
port on next Friday.
Receipts of cotton at the ports to-
Gay 20.671 bales. against $1,000 bales
