COTTON MARKET
 ON DOWN GRADE Opening Is Steady Followed By
 An Advance WEATHER AFFECTS MARKET  Rain and Storms In Texas and Okla homa Have Depressing Effect Upon Prices Because Rain
 Is Needed.
WEATHER AFFECTS MARKET I

New York, May 6.-The cotton market was rather heavy today, with prices grad ually sagging and the close at a net de- cline of 2 to points.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points on scat tered covering and in response to better cables than expected Selling on reports or rain In Texas restricted at first by ap- prehensions of cold, wet weather in cen tral and eastern sections of the belt before the end of the week, and reports Of a cyclone in Oklahoma. Many in the local trade, however, did not consider farming operations In Oklahoma were sufficiently advanced to have suffered much damage from the climatic disturbance, which seemed to be centered around Ardmore. and when the official weekly forecasts were received showing a better outlook than originally expected, offerings in- creased and the market eased off to a net decline of about to points during the afternoon. A rally of about 9 or points occurred toward the close on covering.
 The weather map for the 24 hours end ing this morning was considered very fav- orable and the detailed weather reports from Texas indicated beneficial rains in a large part of the state. The official forecast was for unsettled weather in east Texas tonight, followed by fair and cold CT and for fair weather in the eastern belt. except in scattering sections where showers or rains are expected
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were generally unchanged, and very little news reached the market con- cerning spot conditions beyond reports from the Atlantic belt of better demand for export.
 Receipts at the ports today. 14,oSs bales, against 1S9s2 last week and d.125 last year. For the week, 125,0O0 bales. against 13s. .44S last week and 59.15s last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, b611 bales. against 3434 last year, and at Houston, 84S bales, against 1888 last year.

UNCERTAINTY IN
 STOCK MARKET Attention Is Given Principally to
 Industrial Stocks THE TENDENCY IS UPWARD A Lot of Miscellaneous Low Priced Stocks Take On Activity and Lead the General List In Upward
 Movement
THE TENDENCY IS UPWARD

New York, May 6.-The professional traders in stocks were puzzled to know what was going on in the market today under cover of the 'strising movements in number of stocks of the lower class. It was this uncertainty that prompted the curtailment of operations, and the shrinkage in the volume of the market Attention was focused on the industrial stocks and sudden advances were made in great variety Of these, some of which have not appeared in tho tape records for a long time previously. Diversion of activity to this grade of stocks usually awakens suspicion of the exhaustion of possibilities in ths mora substantial kinds which have had their previous movement
 The general list. including the stocks of the more substantial class was almost more responsive to the rise in special ties and in opinion in the board room was that realizing safes were going on in those stocks in continuance fo the movement of yesterday. The bulk of to- days business nevertheless was done at Q level of prices above last night in con- trast with the positive depression caused by earlier operations. These advances were not marked at any time, and there was @ constant waverlng in the price level which reflected the uncertain tone of the speculation. The sharp rise in a miscellaneous lot of low-priced stocks. most of them non-dividend payers, was unexplained by any authentic news. all though there were rumors which applied to some of the stocks affected. The rise had its inception In the group of metal tndustrials, including various companies making secondary use of steel, such as the railroad equipment companies and the copper, lead and smelting stocks.
 The developments of favorable charac- ter in the metal markets made the back bone of this movement and various ru- mors were added. The asking price of copper was advanced and some large sales of refined copper were reported made in the last few days
 The forthcoming report of the Copper Producers association, giving April sta tistics, is expected to show the effects of trade expansion to the extent, accord ing to rumors, of an actual reduction of surplus stocks of copper during the month. The rise in price of light steel rails and the placing of additional or ders for heavy rails by the St. Paul gave color to reports of a coming uplift in prices of various steel products Accounts by cable of project for a worldwide combination of lead producing interests met with authoritative denials, but had their influence in the strength of stocks concerned There were rumors also of a coming merger of the fertilizer com panies and of an intended dividend in crease on those stocks. The violent ad-

vance in Western Maryland followed a report that the Pittsburg Terminal com panys coal property had been taken over by that company.
 The movement in the low-grade stocks was progressive and a procession Of them was brought forward one after the other. Throughout the demonstrative buying and bidding up of the non-dividend payers, none Of the recent speculative favorites moved over a range as great as point. London was a seller of stocks here and the labor situation In France engaged some attention, for it's possible financial effects. Discounts were easier in London and Paris in spite of the weaker condi- ton of the Bank of England.
 Foreign exchange here was unchanged. A condition of great dullness existed in the time money market, owing to the holding off of lenders for the higher rates and the unwillingness of borrowers to pay them.
 Warmer weather in the west encour- aged hopes of rapid growth of grain crops
 Bonds were strong; eotal sales, par value, $7,030,00O.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call

BEAUTIFUL HOME
 BURNED TO GROUND

Columbus, Miss, May 6.--(Special. )-The handsome home of w. s. Lindamood on tho Highlands was totally destroyed by fire yesterday, entailing loss of $25,- 900, with only 5000 insurance. The home was one of the handsomest in Mississippi, and was relic of the ante-bellum period,
 having been built during the progress of the Civil war. The interior was beauti-
 fully decorated, all the exquisite fresco
 work having been done by hand skilled artisans from the north having been brought here for that purpose. MT. Lin damood was engaged in making extensive improvements when the fire occurred, 5000 having already been expended in in- stalling a modern plumbing system, beau- tifying the interior of the house. Sparks from the kitchen chimney are believed to have ignited the roof, this being the only logical explanation of the origin of the fire. MT. Lindamood will rebuilt at once.

Hubbard Bros. & co.'s Letter.

New York, May 6-(Special.) )-Heavy showers fell in many sections of Texas last night, though through the interrup- ton of telegraphio communication they were not heard of until after the close of the Liverpool market. Under the in fluenee of these rains and the prospect of further unsettled weather in the state where rain is badly needed the mar ket lost the opening improvement, clos ing steady at the decline. We hear of cotton pointing this way for delivery on May, while the cotton houses seem to be selling July every morning against purchase of distant deliveries. The mar ket is decidedly quieter, with Liverpool reported bullish and the trade here wait ing to see the effect of these rains on the crop outlook. Liverpool should be 2 points lower tomorrow.

LIVING ON GRASS
 IN TURKISH TOWN

Marash, May GA letter received by messenger from Harni says that every man there has been killed. Only women, girls and boys under 10 years of age have been left alive. The churches and houses were plundered and most of them were burned. The letter, which was from the widow of a clergyman. says:
 "We have nothing to eat or to wear We are living on grass like animals. Worse than this the Moslems are trying to force the women and girls to become Mohammendans. Already some of the women have been carried away
 Lucius O. Lee, a missionary here, says:
 We are trying to send food to Harni, although it is dangerous, and to bring away the women as well"
 Much excitement has been caused hers by the attempts of the authorities to arrest some of those who have mur- dered Christians.

 Futures opened quiet at an advance of 1 to ? points on favorable cables from Liverpool and immediately after the first call the advance was widened to to points. A great improvement in weather reports, however, took the life out of the advance and left the market open to bear aggressiveness. Selling from the middle of the morning induced a decline of to F points, active months falling to level of 5@6 points lower than yesterdays last quotations. Later in the day scalplng shorts took profits freely which checked the decline and brought about slight recovery, the market closing at net de- cline of to points.
