STOCKS SELLING
 FOR PROFIT TAKING Market Showed Surprising Alb
 Sorptive Power METAL STOCKS ACTIVE Operators In These Stocks Have Won Considerable Prestige By Their
 Success and Enormous
 Profits Reported.

New York, May 9.-The recovery in prices in the stock market reached a point today where it met very free selling 10 take profits It was apparent during the morning that the stock offerings in the market were more than sufficient to sup ply the demand from unreserved shorts, which continued quite an appreciable factor, and overbore the efforts of newly revived pools to continue the advance. The profit-tal1ing was not without effect on prices while it continued most active, but the market showed a degree of ab- eorptiye power which proved surprise to professional speculative operators. The rallying tendency of prices late in the day after the extent to which the reaiz- ing process had been carried resulted in much increasing speculative confidence over the future of the market. There was no evidence of any large new demand from outside sources but combinations and pools amongst professional operators, or habitual operators of large resources. took a renewed position in the market with increasing confidence. This was not ably perceptible in the metal industrials, and especially those having to do with copper and lead, both in sympathy with the smelling stages. A group of operators in these stocks has acquired very large prestige by the success of their operations in recent months and by the enormous speculative profits which they are credit ed with having made.

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

Good buying held cotton steady this morning. Much of 1t looked as if it came from the biggest bulls in the business, and 1t caused some little nervousness among the shorts who have refused to take any stock in the oft-repeated predictions of a startling advance soon to come.
 The nervousness among shorts was i'm creased by stories to the effect that about 2O.OoO bales of cotton would be shipped out of the New York stock to- day. JTp to noon these rumors could not be confirmed, and until something more definite could be learned, conserv- ative operators on the short side were inclined to hold off. This rather threw the balance in the favor of the bulls and allowed them to put the market up q few points.
 During the greater part of the day sentiment and orders were about evenly divided
 The day failed to bring forth any start ling crop news. The weather map showed no rain, but much cold weather over the belt. The weather, however, was not cold enough to do any harm, although the bulls would not have 1t that way. Every spring one or two cold spells are experienced. and are accompanied With the usual talk about the crop starting off in disaster, this was the case with the crop of two years ago, the largest crop on record.
 It is hard to say just how many times that crop was killed. Private reports. issued by New York people who have just returned from trips through the belt, said that the acreage planted was larger than ever before, and that In some sections cotton had been planted at the expense of other crops.

new speculative campaign by this element attracts large following amongst the board room traders and of outside opera tions of a smaller class.
 The general speculative sentiment is inn proved also by the clearing away of some of the dangerous factors which oyer hung the market. The money market is obviously much relieved from the late strain upon. it, and funds are obtained with comparative facility and at yielding rates where a short time ago speculative borrowers had no resource but to sell out their holdings of securities and to liqui- date their obligations. The banking view of the future course of currency from San Francisco does not fully bear out the sanguine expectations of stock spec ukators as to the promptness with which the return flow will set in. Transfers through the sub-treasury to San Francis co and to Denver rose to over a million dollars today after having fallen to nominal level several days ago. The re- vval of this movement had some mod- flying effect on the suppositon that San Francisco would immediately return cash to New York, or would find its reserves in a glutted condition, even before the banks had re-opened for business. There was further advance in the sterling -eX change rate in this market which served to clinch the growing conviction that the movement of gold to New York has ceased for the present. This had cheer ing effect upon the London market. The relief of the money market, and a pro- fessed belief that the congressional agita- tion against corporations had eliminated, formed the basis of an attack to extend the speculative interest in stocks. This attempt met with some renewed obstacles in the way of realizing sales at the recov- cred level of prices late in the day, and the market closed rather easier.

The close was at a net advance of to 15 points Sales were estimated at 35O,0OO bales The market opened steady at un- changed prices to an advance of points in response to cables which were a little better than due on the near months; late in Liverpool being influenced, ae- cording to private reports, by bearsh acreage estimate by prominent English authority The weather map made very favorable showing, no precipitation being reported while temperatures were little higher on the average. but after some lit tie irregularity, the market steaded up and in the afternoon became quite active and firm on rumors that the bulls had made further sales out of the local stock and covering of nearby shorts while the new crop was in demand by wire houses with southern connections who were also thought to be covering short accounts. The market closed firm in tone and with in point or two of the top. Southern  spot markets according to official reports, were unchanged to 1sc higher The local spot market was fifteen points higher, but no sales were-officially reported Some private advices claimed that spot cotton was offering more freely in the Atlantic states but the majority of the advices were bullish, while new crop news con- tinued of bearish average. The bull party supported the market quite aggres- sivey at times but were credited with selling moderately on the bulge.

Evidence of manipulation in the New York market was more visible than for some time. today's session being governed by unconfirmed rumors of pending large shipments to Europe from the northern ports. New Orleans and from Galveston. Insofar as exports from the local mar ket are concerned, they promise to be liberal New Orleans having 54O00 bales aboard ship yesterday, 4S0o0 last year, and the same may be said Of Texas city, where Mondays shpboard amounted to abount 1T 900 bales. compared to an equal amount one year ago. New York mar ket however, on last Saturday had but 395O bales aboard ship out of total stock of 153, ,692 bales, and the total amount on shipboard at all ports was 10000 bales, against FPS, 900 last year. nearly all of which was represented by New Orleans and Galveston. It is common gossip how ever, that it's the intention of bull lead CTS at New York to embark into the spot business with the object of dispos- ing of large stock of cotton >that was rendered them on May contracts. Mean while no stone is being unturned in the effort to influence the market to higher level probably with the view of rendering the large stock, supposed to be for eX- port. on July contracts, there having been heavy buying of fall and winter months of late-perhaps as hedge against sales of July, as the narrowing of differences would benefit the position of manipula tors
