little hope entertained for her re-

estimable people. Her health has
not been good and she was under a
physicians care.
Mrs. Mitchell took the poison at

He rushed back home and with the

MARKET IS NARROW
AND PROFESSIONAL
Pressure on Prices Relaxed
After First Hour
HAS BEEN LANGUlD WEEK
Stock Market Has Been Highly Profess
sional and Volume of Dealings Fell
to the Lowest of
the Year.
HAS BEEN LANGUID WEEK

New York, May 26.-TraGers who bought
stocks on the rise yesterday sold today
to even up their contracts over Sunday.
That was about all there was to the
market which was narrow and profess
sional to the last degree The pressure
on prices relaxed to some extent after
the first hour under the Influence OF the
firm tone in Pennsylvania which did not
share in the weakness of the general
market. Prices faded away again in the
closing dealings and in some instances
ended at the lowest with the tone easy.
The bank return showed weakened
position and had unfavorable effect on
speculative sentiment. The surplus over
the legal requirement was shown to be
$685. $50. This compares with a surplus
of Sill, 465,S00 at this time last year and
of s29, $50, S25 two years ago. Subscriptions
fall due next Tuesday to the $4,000, 900 of
Pennsylvania notes and there are other
syndicate requirements to be met later
in the week. The usual month end ne
cessities are also to be met. The position
of a furry in call money next week
quite emphatic disclaimers of some of
the rumors yesterday of great corpor-
alton in prospect for talking over the
coal companies from the railroads in Or
der to comply with the law. These ru-
mors caused buying of stocks yesterday.

Loyeman g. Co.'s Market Letter.

Todays cotton market had an easier
tendency, due to good rains reported In
sections where most needed and to the
fact that Secretary Hesters visible supply
statement, issued late yesterday after
noon, was less bulilsh than had been gen.
orally expected Spots were officially re-
ported quiet and unchanged. Sales
amounted to 375 bales of spots and $50
bales to arrive. Middling cotton was
again quoted at II 5-16c. Todays closing
prices compared with week ago, show a
decline of points on July, but gain of
point on October, while spots are Lice
lower The fact that July cotton should
have declined even this little while Oc-
tober has gained a point Is a straw that
shows which way the speculative wind Is
blowing. The big discount at which the
new crop months are offered becomes
more and more tempting to operators az
the summer time approaches The July
position, while Offering great speculative
possibilities under certain conditions,
which may or may not be realized, is gem
orally considered a dangerous month by
the average run of spectators, who have
been gradually transferring their interests
to the new crop months, which have ac-
cordingly become much more active than
formerly. We are still of the opinion that
a large short interest established some
time back, still exists in the new crop
months, and, hence, while we look for a
lower market for the time being, we
favor purchasing of October and Decem-
Der on any breaks that may occur from
time to time. Weather conditions during
the past week have been generally favor
able for the growth of the crop, and we
rather anticipate bearish weekly govern
ment report next Tuesday.

Ware G. Leland,s Market Letter

The cotton market was dull today even
for Saturday. The prospects are that
the dizziness will increase next week for
the trade will be faced with holidays
followed by the bureau reports on con
dition and acreage.
The weekend figures were called bull
ish by the bulls and bearish by the
bears.
In itself the visible supply statement
was bullish In its weekly changes but
spinners' takings of 1S9OO0 bales We're
hardly large enough to satisfy the ex-
pectations Of the trade which has been
educated up to the belief in enormous
requirements by manufacturers by the
stories which have been spread broad
cast of Unprecedented bookings ahead by
both spinners and weavers.
The figures had little effect on values,
Liverpool closed better than it was due
on the fluctuations in the American mar
lkets yesterday afternoon and locally the
slight easing off appeared to be due more
to good weather map than TO statistics.
The market is pretty much at sea as
to what to expect from the government
reports. There are some exceptionally
we'll Informed people who believe in ain
increase OF or 8 per cent On acreage and
a condition as high as 90 per cent but
1t is safe to say that local operators
will be surprised If the increase in acre
age Is put over per cent or If the per-
centage Of condition is put over Sc. Prl-
waite reports are very conflicting. Today
circulars were received in this market
from John T. Evans, the well known
writer ON cotton in San Antonio, and
who was the first to talk about a de-
crease of 10 per cent last season.

Gilbert q cIay's Market Letter.

The advance in Liverpool market was
doubtless caused by the favorable Wis
ible supply statement, although no ca
bles were received to definitely outline
the reasons for the improvement. OPP
tions, due to be unchanged to point de-
cline closed higher by 1 point than yes
terday's levels. while spot sales We're
1000 bales at an advance of points.
The general rains that fell in the At
lantic states and also in southern Texas,
both of which territories having prev
iously complained of lack of moisture,
brought about the slight decline upon
the opening of the local market From
reports received on all sides, the pro-
gress and development made thus far
by the new crop should be accepted as
satisfactory.
Stands are excellent. and the weather
has been of such a character as to allow
of good work in the fields and moisture
has been forthcoming at propitious mo-
ments, however, and large short inter-
est that exists I'm the market has be-
come more and more nervous In antidpa-
ton of much smaller than expected

the government will shortly issue. and
At is probable on the face of IT. that
prices will not only remain steady, but
the quiet covering by the more unstable
portion of this interest will bring about
an enhanced value for the staple

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, May 26.-Spot cotton was
dull chiefly because of the lack of Of
ferings. The market was officially called
quiet" and quotations were unchanged;
middling, II 5-16: sales were 525 bales, in
Guiding $50 to arrive.
Futures opened quiet at a decline of l
and 2 points. Good weather counteracted
the influence of favorable cables
Throughout the session the market was
narrow and inactive. At the highest prices
were unchanged to / point up, compared
with yesterdays closing. The closing
showed net loss of 20I5 points.
In view of the fact that June a. follow
ing a legal holiday, which falls on Sun
dayl will be observed as holiday in
Louisiana, Secretary Hester wired the
bureau of statistics. asking that the is
suance of the next bureau report be de-
layed until Tuesday. Mr.. Hayes of the
bureau replied that 1t would not be con-
sistent with the rules of the department,
and the report would be issued as ar
ranged. Further efforts will be made to
have the report deferred on the ground
that it would give an unfair advantage to
cotton markets in other cities.
