DRIFT WAS VERY NARROW

New York, June 1.-The market for
stocks today was hardly more than nomi-
nal, the fullness of the trading falling to
the years low record. The movement of
prices equally failed of significance. The
drift was exceedingly narrow. During the
first half of the day the balance rather
inclined towards the side of depression
and in the latter half there was some
recovery
More and more indifference was shown
10 the movements of special stocks, those
picked for professional operations being
easily recognized as favorite mediums for
market operations by conspicuous spec
ulative leaders. The prominent instances
today were Louisville and Nashville and
Colorado Fuel. The nominal motive for
the buying in the first case was the I'M
authenticated rumors of an intended de-
crease in the dividend rate at any early
period. In the other stock, the buying was
alleged to be for account of j. p. Morgan
& Co., and the purpose to be the securing
of control of the property for the transfer
of the United States Steel corporation.
These assertions have figured in many
previous movements of the stocks named
and nothing occurred today to give added
credit to them. The latter Improvement
in the market followed the publication of
the preliminary estimates of the week S
currency movement. The subj treasury
figures are official and show an excess of
IS. 900 of disbursements over receipts.
This does not include the $1,500000 to be
deposited with the National City Bank,
against gold to be imported, which was
announced yesterday, and which will

ment averages.
Tt does include, however, the trans
fers by the telegraph from San Fran
cisco with the exception of the amount
transferred today which amounted to
5000 900. The express movement with the
interior has been in favor of New York

SALES WERE $4,000 BALES
Bearish Acreage Estimates Had a De-
cided Influence in Depression of
the Market-southern
Spots Unchanged.
SALES WERE $4,000 BALES

New York, June 1.-The cotton market
continued very nervous and unsettled with
the close showing a net loss of u to II
points. Sales for the day were estimated
at 10000 bales.
The opening was steady at an advance
of points on the old crop, which was
influenced by steadier cables than ex-
pected, and covering, while the new crop
was depressed by the favorable weather
reports and bearish acreage estimates, one
being issued by a conservative trade pub
lication showing an increase of 9.54 per
cent and another showing an increase
of SO per cent. and placing the average
condition at S21 per cent Trading was
quite active early, but orders were very
evenly divided with shorts covering for
the holidays, while there was continued
liquidation and some selling for short
account on the bearsh crop outlook.
Prices moved irregular within a range of
or points until afternoon, when an
other private crop report was issued. I'M
der which the market broke sharply. This
report predicted an increase in acreage
of &c per cent. and placed the condition
at S5.9 per cent. After its publication
July sold off to 106Oc, and October to
10. 25c, or II to IA points net lower. The
close was barely steady in tone and at
practically the low point of the session.
Southern spots were unchanged to lac
lower.
Sentiment here was very unsettled after
the close, but of a bearish average, and
the local trade was figuring on an In
crease in acreage ranging from to
per cent. and q condition ranging around
the ten-year averages The market will
be closed tomorrow.

there was further liquidation today by
longs, who had remained in until the
last day, hoping that there might be a
substantial reaction on which they SELL
Early In the forenoon when July con-
tracts sold as high as 1898. a reaction
seemed to be the way. but the advancing
tendency was checked by the easy tone

out with what was considered a bearish
report regarding acreage and condition,
and Immediately there developed a heavy
selling movement, which finally carried
prices down to the level of 10. IS for July.
The Issuance OF bullish visible supply

the close which was steady at net loss
for the day of 10 points on both the old
and the new crop months.
