The price of cotton In the Birmingham
spot market dropped ~ points yester-
day. from liz to 111sc. There are still
virtually no receipts.
In the produce market on Norris ave-
nue. everything continues In the lively tone
which has been prevalent for some time.
Shipping sales are especially large. Prices
are reported steady. with only two or
three slight changes in the quotations. The
only variation of interest is in the price
of chickens, broilers being quoted at from
Ia to 25c.

Coffee Market.

New York, May A.-Coffee, spot quiet;
mild, steady. The coffee futures opened
steady at unchanged prices in line with
European cables, which hardly responded
to the New York declines or Saturday,
but Europe sold here after the opening.
Brazilian markets were a little disap-
pointing and the local market eased off
during the middle session. The close was
steady at unchanged prices to a decline
of points, all months being points
lower except October Sales for the day
were reported at $3.50 bags, including

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 21.-Spot cotton closed
easy. quotations 1-16c lower; sales, $50.
The future market after steady OPEN
ing on good cables, was easy throughout
the remainder of the session, final prices
being practically at the low point of the
day except for July, which option recov-
cred A points from it's extreme low point.
The feature having most effect was poor
err demand for spots and freer offerings
from the interior at easier prices. Fear OF
manipulation in the summer months pre-
vented more serious break. as the trade
is seemingly bearish on the reported good
prospects for the new crop.

Ware & Leland's Market Letter

The cotton market opened for the week
with its tone as dull as ever and under
the dizziness prices gradually fell off un-
til they were about 10 points cheaper
than at the end of last week.
1t was to be noticed, however that
each point downward was grudingly made
and at times the market looked rather
sold out.
A respectable decline has been brought
about since we first strongly advised
selling cotton, good decline for such
a narrow market and 1t looks as IL the
market would be harder and harder to
put down the nearer prices get to II cents
for July. Perhaps it is wise to let July
alone.
There are rumors of a squeeze In New
York in that position but there is always
the danger of unloading by satisfied longs
should prices make anything like a satis-
factory advance. On the other hand even
the telegraph messenger boys know that
large short interest exists in the fall
months and therefore we strongly advise
their purchase, especially on breaks.

Loveman G. Co.'S Market Letter.

The week in cotton starts off with the
bulls on the defensive The liquidation
which commenced tho latter part of last
week was continued today on even a
larger scale, with the result that July
broke almost through the twenties. The
favorable crop reports published in to-
days Picayune encouraged bearish senti-
ment in the government weather report
to be issued tomorrow. and led to some
aggressive operations on the short side.
which, in conjunction with the heavy
liquidation that was going on, caused the
market to show weakness at times. Sew
eral Intellectual attempts were made dur
ing the day to rally the market.
Spots were officially reported easy and
1-16 lower on all grades. Sales amounted
to $50 bales of spots and 1900 bales to ar
rive Two hundred bales were delivered
on contract.
We feel convinced that the net specu-
lative interest In this market, particularly
in the new crop months, Is short, and
hence we do not look for a much further
break In values.

little hesitation: ''On the return of the
steamer there will be an English prisoner
l will give him cell No. =, and If you
