New York, May 11.-The cotton mar ket was less active today and ruled irregular within narrow range. The close was steady at an advance of one point to a decline of five points.
 Sales for the day were estimated at at unchanged prices to decline of two points in response to somewhat d1sap- pointing cables, but there was re- port noted yesterday and right after the opening prices worked up. to net advance of 2@5 points led by the old crop months.
 Offerings inireased on the advance and seemed to be for both long and short account owing to the disposition to expect a reaction after an advance and the improved weather over the south. Temperatures were higher and later reports from the. districts where that damage has been comparatively slight. This encouraged local bears to sell quite aggressively early and g5@6 points with the ne wcrop relative fy easy and for sale by houses with youthern connections;
 BuH leaders seemed to be supporting the market in the late trading but firm prices were at nearly the lowest, May being the ony month to show any net southern spot markets were generally unchanged to 1-16c higher. The Eng fish spot market was four points high sr although futures there closed un- changed to four points lower and spot sales were one thousand bales.

 New Orleans, May 11.--Today's cot ion easu market t,ssg though dull and apparent tone throughout the entire session. and values were not materially altered as result of the days trading. The The demand was not especially active, but on the other hand factors stood pat. having little cotton to offer, and were not Inclined to make the least concession on prices as an inducement for buyers to take hold.
 While the majority of operators in cotton have shown disposition to ig- nore the reports now becoming gener- al Of serious damage done by the frosts, that occurred yesterday in many portions of the Atlantic States, opinion that the crop in that section of the belt at least has sustained a de- cfded setback, the bullish influence of which will be more fully appreciated
 Those who have closely followed crop |conditions in the Atlantic States know that the crop in that section was all ture awhile back. Beneficial rains came just when needed, and the crop was coming up to good stand when with it nipping frosts which the plant was too young and tender, in most cases, to withstand. Our private tele- graphic advices received from the Caro-
 
 pecially in North Carolina, has been damaged so per cent and reported that planters were already blowing up the Hand. withSa view of re-planting. Cot ton seed Is scarce, and there will be some delay Tn re-planting, owing to this fact. The reports from Georgia and Alabama are not of such serious char acter as those received from the Caro- linas, although doubtlessly consider able damage has resulted in those two States also: A valued correspondent in Birmingham, whose opinion in re- gard to the damage by frost, we asked actual damage in Northern part of and re-planting will be necessary. There Is no doubt about the damage, damage overestimated. but very lit tie thing counts in the coming crop this year. We need twelve million halcs or more and each set back is more determintal than 1t is usually While operators could and did ignore the frost damage reports, they could not overlook the additional strength developed today in the Statistical posi- tion of cotton. The amount of cotton brought into sight during the week fell short of last years movement by the amount of 79,000 bales.
 The total insight since September 1st, was placed at 10.079,000 bales. or 54,6Oo bales less than the total move ment into sight of the 10.T crop year The leading interior towns recorded a loss in stocks during the week of 20.- 900 bales the total stocks sas at these sss with 394.2S4 this day last year. Port stocks showed a corresponding loss for the week. and this feature of the statistical position will become strong CT as the month progresses heavy fe o ex. }; :.

New York. May 11.-Below I present my first crop report for the season of 1906-7 The inquiries I have made follows:
 What percentage of increase or de crease as compared with last year. will be shown by the cotton acreage in your coun- ".
 2-What is the state of the labor supply in your section. is it sufficient for the culti- vation of the crop? To those inquiries. have received 5.SS6 replies. the details of which by States are summarized below:
 The average increase in acreage com pared with last year is less than one per cent. actually 9-10 of one per cent.
 Applying this indicated increase to the re- vised figures published by the government In July 1905. at the indicated acreage for smallest acreage planted in cotton since 1900-01.
 These figures are practically in harmony with Miss Giles. who estimated the arceage on the first of May at 27.427, 900 acres
