THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 4.-The cotton market
opened steady at decline of point on
near months to an advance of points. the
decline being due to rather disappointing
cables and less bulf1sh weekend figures

ably affected by covering of yesterdays
sellers on the cold weather in the western
belt and the prospect for unsettled condf-
tions over the weekend. After the opening
trading was fairly active and prices worked
up to a net gain of 1oa12 points, but reacted

UNFAVORABLE WHEAT NEWS

was doubtless a reflex of the discouraging

public by the company yesterday.

New Bank Opened.
Aside from the mornings news relat-
ing to the outlook for the crops, there
was little of interest to engage attention
at the opening of business. y rather
unfavorable bank statement seemed to
be commonly expected. but it was gen.
orally recognized that the exhibit would
be obscured by the entry of a new bank
into the Clearing House Association and,
further. by the beginning of the opera
tions of newly organized National Cop
per Bank.
The London stock market was sluggish
and irregular. and little was done here
for foreign account. The weekly reports
of the mercantile agencies continued to
set forth some abatement in trade activ-
fly, resulting chiefly from the unsea-
sonable weather conditions prevailing
throughout the country.
The bank statement showed a loss in
actual cash of S1.917.00O and an increase
in the loan account of S16,9o2 900. The
changes in these items were approx
mately reflected in the deposit account,
which increased $14.416,Oo0. ConSe-
quently surplus reserves decreased So

plus reserves in the corresponding week
