Loveman G Co.'S Market Letter.

After selling as low as 11.22c early in the day on an easier Liverpool than looked for and on reports of rain in certain portions of the Atlantics, the local cotton market developed a steadier feeling, and a fair-sized reaction followed. The mar ket closed practically at the top. Spots were officially reported quiet and 1-16c lower on all grades. Sales amounted to 45o bales of spots and $50 bales to arrive. Two hundred bales were delivered on contract today.
 The feature of todays market was the government weekly weather report, which the bears had confidently looked forward to as something on which to base opera tions on the short side Their hopes fin this direction were sadly disappointed. however, because the report. instead of being bearish, was, if anything, bullish. The detailed reports showed that rain was badly needed in almost every state in the belt particularly in the southern portion of Texas, which appears to be suffering from an incipient drought. Any real stu dent of weather conditions could not draw any but bullish deductions from the de- tailed reports of the different states. and the view that crop conditions during the past week had been unfavorable finally DreVailed

GREAT EXPECTANCY FELT

New York, May 22.-So profoundly apa-
 thetic was the trading in the stock mar
 ket today that there was little room left for any but negative deductions. That the formation of speculative sentiment awaits an initiative from new events is the one safe conclusion to infer. The hesi- tation in forming a conviction on the future of the market must of course be based on some uncertainties in the out come of events. The problem of the fall money markets continues to be most considered and the day to day events in Wall street at present offers little as- sistance fin forming an opinion The re- opening of the San Francisco banks for business is expected tomorrow and with banking resumed there 1t is expected that early light will be thrown on the extent to which the large cash reinforceuents sent there for use in the first strain on the banks will have to be retained there. There were further remittances to San Francisco through the sub-treasury to- day fin the continuation of yesterday s considerable movement. It is assumed that these later consignments are due in part to remittances for account of insurance companies in preparation for the payment of claims upon them for fire losses, rather than for purely banking necessities.

Another estimate on probable acreage os this year was made public today the Southern Cotton association placing the increase over last years 26,999,000 acres at PFC per cent, or 27,735,7S acres. Had the trade faith In such a small increase over last year in the area to be devoted to cotton this year a sharp advance would have taken place. Thus far there have been four estimates made by promi- nent authorities in advance of the gov ernment report, which Is due on Monday. June 4. and the average of same is about 2S, 100000 acres, or an increase of about 4 per cent
 Such an increase, however. is looked upon as being too small to assure the world 100000 bales next season unless the growing season should be remarkably favorable and the winter to be a late one, although last years growth of 10726'00O bales was gathered from picked acreage of only 26117,000 acres, 82.00O acres of original acreage having ben abandoned on account of incessant rains during planting season prohibiting cultivation.
 There occurred a large cotton fire in New York overnight. the report having 1t that $500 bales were damaged or de- stroyed by a warehouse fire.

WAREHOUSE FIRE MONDAY

New York, May 22.-The cotton market was quiet but steady today and closed at a net advance of to points. Sales for the day were estimated at about 175,- 900 bales. The opening was. quiet at un- changed prices to an advance of 1 point on covering which was promoted by re- ports that between 5000 and 10000 bales of local stock had been destroyed in a warehouse fire on Monday night. At first there was some apprehension that this cotton might have been sold against delivery on May contracts and that it's destruction would embarrass the short interest but there was no indi- cation of any such developments and the market eased off soon after the call in response to a bearish weather map and easier cables. Some of the local pro- fessionals sold quite heavily in an evi- dent effort to catch stop loss orders. but after July had reached Los and October to 10.5o the market steadied by cover ing and in the afternoon developed quite a firm tone, owing to less favorable weekly bureau report than expected. The close was within a point or two of the best and steady on covering of shorts and a little fresh buying for long ac- count. The weekly bureau reported that rain was needed in the belt, the influence of this being counteracted to some ex- tent by the fact that rains were shown on this mornings map. with the fore cast calling for further showers. Southern spot markets were unchanged to 1sc lower.

confidence in the position is inferred from the fact that they have not availed them selves of the offer of the United States treasury department to place on deposit with them $15, ,000, 900 of government funds to strengthen their position. With their ability to meet claims of depositors promptly demonstrated a return to New York of some cash forwarded to San Francisco is expected. The money out look abroad seems not entirely clear either. London and Paris markets were both lethargic prospects, of tight money, although the Berlin market was cheerful in the hope that the German imperial bank would reduce its official discount rate tomorrow. Money brokers reported some diminuton in the supply of funds offering on time in this market and rates for the longer period were firm. The weekly bulletin of crop con ditions issued by the weather bureau with it's showing of insufficient moisture in the winter wheat region of the south west was not helpful to stocks although the wheat market was inclined to re- act from It's recent strong advances on immediate reports of showers today. The price of copper in London made a re- covery from yesterdays sharp break but without helping the copper group in this indrket Ine one incident or interest in the market was the further rise in the high-priced coalers. Lacka wanna added 10 points to it's record price and sold at $50, thus measurably reducing the requi- site distance necessary to the fulfillment of the speculative prediction of 1000 for this stock with which the movement in the group Is associated in public estima- tion. Reports were current, however of an influence on the part of these compa- nies to divest themselves of ownership of coal mining properties to comply with the tendency of recent judicial decisions and of the shaping of Legislation This would involve. 1t was inferred, a distri- button of these assets to stockholders It was pointed out also that the rise in these stocks made an additional attrac- tion for convertible bonds of some of the companies which are now in the market. The stiffness of the coalers served only partly to sustain the market against the drop of prices inevitable in market where the buying demand is torpid Prices gave way rather generally at the last and the closing was easy.
