COTTON MARKET
 VERY IRREGULAR Opening Is Higher on Liver

 ern Spot Markets Are
 Reported Higher.
MARKET CLOSES EASIER

New York, May 22.-The cotton mar ket was nervous and irregular during today's session, closing steady at net decline of 1 to IA points, old crop posi- tions being relatively firm. Sales for the day, 100000 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 8 points in response to higher cables, but there was no sign of aggressive bull support, and while some of the brokers credited with working for large Wall street interests were buying during the early session, others appeared to be selling for this account. Shortly after the opening the market eased off to a net loss of to points under heavy offerings of the new crop months, which were probably promoted by favorable weather map. Liverpool failed to follow the local de- cline, however, and during the middle of the day the market rallied with July selling up to 9.9sc and october to s.39c. or 8 to IT points net higher, the advance being accompanied by reports of increased frmness in the southern spot markets ana Detler ueIlahu from New England mills. Later tae market eased off again under realizirg 3 by early buyers. reaching the lowest point of the day in the lFe trading.
 The forecast was for showers in the western belt and there were private predictions of wet weather over Sun day, while southern advices regarding crop and acreage were mixed. South ern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to A c higher
 Receipts at the ports today, 9409 bales, against 7765 last week, and 1927 last year. For the week, 50,000 bales, against 50,906 last week, and 52,4S5 last year.

bales on the spot and 300 to arrive.
 Futures opened steady. with the July option 10 points up and the other ac= tive months to points above the close yesterday. The advance In the local market was due To adviees of most favorable nature from the spot market at Liverpool. which reported large sales at better prices than pre- vailed yesterday. On the whole, the weather report was favorable, but thls factor failed to offset the stimulus given the market at the start by the good reports from the English market. During the late session, through lack of support and little disposition to buy bears hammered the market down and the July option was soon at it's open ing level, closing at it opened, lo points above the close yesterday.
 At the close today which was steady, the other active months were to [ points below the close yesterday.

Hubbard Bros & Co.'s Letter.

New York. May 22.-(Special)-So sharp was the advance in Liverpool to- day, IS to 20 points over yesterday that the buyers of yesterday accepted the opportunity to realize upon por- ton of their holdings. It is seldom that so violent an advance on Friday is sustained on the closing day of the week, as a natural reaction is always due after so quick an advance. This realizing and the final lower closing is due to the trade taking this point of view for the day. Reports of the i'm provement in the cotton goods trade are received on every hand and addi- tional sales from our low grade stock are being made daily. Showers are pre- dcted for eastern Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, accompanying low baromc- ter in western Texas. These predic- tions caused the advance at noon. decline of points is expected in Liver pool tomorrow.

 Range of Prices REACTION FROM TOP NOTCH After Sudden spurt Upward on Nerv- oas Buying Prices Break Sharply

 Radical Declines.
REACTION FROM TOP NOTCH

New York, May 22.-The contraction in the dealings in stocks today seemed to indicate some subsistence of speculative interest the total sales for the day fall ing to the smallest for any day this week. The price movement was as pug zling to any effort to discern the real convictions of those operating in the market as for several days past. The constant backing and filling kept alive suspicion that concealment was being sought for the genuine transactions un- der a cloud of manipulative orders and the shifting operations of the trading in- duced by those orders
 The opening prices coupled with the rrisk rally at yesterdays closing, result ing in bringing prices in some cases up to near the high levels touched earlier in the week. Traders who thought that th.s heralded a renewal of the advance to new high levels and who bought stocks on the assumption, were then disconnected by a sharp reaction. The movement, therefore, was almost wholly confused. The reaction came at the time announce ment was made that suit had been filed by the government against the New Haven system, alleging violation of 'he antitrust law.
 The litigation in the policy of the pur- suit of railroad corporations has been good deal dwelt on in speculative dis cusson, as one ground for the recent ad- vance in the stock market. This now ap- pealed to some of those who had bought eli there was little reflection of news even in the days market except in the indi- vidual market. Prices jumped spasmodi- cally on the news that the ship subsidy provision had gone to conference in the postoffice appropriation bill and even more violently when the vote rejecting the conference report was made known.
 National Lead reflected a report that the price of metal had been advanced. The special heaviness of Amalgama ted Copper was in response to a decline in lead. The renewed decision of the steel magnates to maintain the prices of fin- ished products seemed to meet with the approval of the stock operators, United States steel rising sharply at the outs ct. That stock moved as sluggishly though as it has for a long time past
 Not much interest was shown in the forecasts of the bank statement, owing to the unvaried ease of the money mar ket. The weeks absorption by the sub treasury and the gold export amounted to ss,736,ooo and only enough cash seems to have been received on balance on the interior movement to reduce and drain to about $5,ooo,OOO No gold engagements for export were announced for tomorrow, but intimations were given that more would go out next week.
